Raku settled for eating the food in silence, though it was clear that Xavier's father had some serious talent with cooking. It was beyond extraordinary, especially for someone like her - after all, she did use to just eat whatever she could scrounge up day to day, no matter what it was. Stealing simply to get by often caused that.

"Teach me... yeah, I'd... like that..." Wren said, staring down at the food.

"Can I get some pointers too?" Don asked curiously. "I've been learning from Wren recently."

Ken was eating quietly, but you could tell he was enjoying the food by the goofy smile on his face, he glanced towards Raku for a moment. 'It's good isn't it?" he asked with a smile.

"..Nani? Oh, yeah. It's really tasty." Raku blinked, having expected to be left alone for the evening. This did not seem to be the case. "It's certainly better than anything I could cook."

"I don't know the bacon was pretty good," Ken pointed out as he took another bite from his food.

"I suppose I could steal your apprentice." Xavier's dad joked at Astra's expense.

"Funny dear, funny." Astra was grinning though.

"Ugh." Xavier was getting annoyed at his parent's sappiness.

Rose just kept quiet and looked down while she ate. For a moment, Kari seemed to act rather normal but kept an eye on her sister.

Without thinking, Xavier leaned over to see what he could do to make her feel more at ease.

Xavier's father looked amused by all this and Astra caught his eye. "Zaphiel..." The Infernal said, glaring at her husband. "You knew this the whole time, didn't you?"

"Knew what Astra dear?" Zaphiel was clearly amused by his wife's accusation. More importantly he clearly knew what she was talking about. And he knew that she was too graceful to cause the scene she wanted to cause in front of their guests.

Xavier gulped involuntarily.

"I think I'll go check on dinner." Astra said, sweeping towards the door. "Zaphiel dear, join me in the kitchen?" And with that, Xavier watched his parents leave the dining room.

"Oh hell, I'm in for it now." He muttered.

"What do you mean you're in for it?" Rose asked as she looked to Xavier.

"I had neglected to tell my mother that you and I were back together." Xavier explained flatly.

"Oh....isn't that lovely?" that was really all Rose could say, given the situation. Kari's eyes widened as she took a drink of whatever beverage she had.

Xavier nodded at this. "Lovely isn't exactly the phrasing I would use, but sure, we can go with that." He quipped. "Whatever you do, don't look like it worries you in front of my mother." This was said in a whisper. "She's too graceful and prideful to make a scene with guests in the house. So play it cool and it'll go fine."

"Oh, as if I wasn't screwing this up as it is," Rose sighed, "I wear my heart and emotions on my sleeves."

Xavier shook his head. "You're not screwing anything up. My mother has her hangups, that's her problem not yours. And not mine."

As if on cue, Xavier's parents returned. "Dinner is going to be ready in about five minutes." Zaphiel explained. "Son, you want to take drink orders and then help me out?"

Xavier nodded, looking at his friends. "Wine, beer or a cocktail?" He asked the group.

"None of the above?" Kei spoke the statement almost as if it were a question. Raku simply opted to shrug at Xavier. While the demigod had never consumed any alcohol, the human had drunk quite a bit of tequila and whiskey in the past few years, despite being underage.

"Wine, please," Rose spoke softly, "Kari doesn't really drink, so if you have any water."

Outside of a bar, two people seemed to blip into existence immediately. One of them was a tall man with black hair and dark blue eyes, dressed in a black peacoat and black jeans. On his face was a satisfied smile. "This might be the place," Robert looked at his watch. "Yep. We're here - 2035," he said, looking to his partner. "Good thing it didn't go too badly, eh?"

@Naoto

"Is it still working? Hello?" A voice would echo in Kari's head; one she would immediately recognize as Oscar. "Nope, she's not answering. I don't think she can hear me."

"I think I'll try some wine," Ken said, raising his hand.

"I'll...get a cocktail," Don replied, he was originally going to reply with beer but he didn't want to seem so simplistic.

"A glass of wine for me too if it's no trouble," Lorenzo replied with a smile.

"Wait, Oscar?" Kari thought back as she was certain she had gone crazy at this point.
