(I edited my previous post, sorry, Cam cheered him up a bit with spoon bopping. XD)

(I'm gonna pretend she said "I'm cheerful in the morning" instead of "Me!" so that it means the same thing now that I changed my last post.)“Me!” Cam said cheerfully, very much interrupting their private conversation. She spun out of her chair with a buttered pancake in hand and gnawed on it while she put the dirtied dishes into the sink.
“Anybody really love washing dishes? Because if you do, I’d love you for that, because I don’t.”
She discretely rinsed the Kipp-bopping spoon and put it in its proper place before returning to her seat. So she could dump syrup on those pancakes.
(I’m the same way. I always carefully cut mine up into little pieces and dip them into syrup and eat them like a princess. I pride myself way too much in it. Also, this is making me hungry for chocolate chip pancakes. Is this corn syrup or maple syrup? They don’t have maple trees in Russia. Maybe it’s fruit syrup? I love that stuff so much, when I can get it.)Aria used a knife to slice the pancake neatly before using her fork to shovel it into her mouth daintily. “Yum” she grinned allowing the taste to fill her mouth
(Would u believe I think I have had choc chip pancakes once! )(I’m the same way. I always carefully cut mine up into little pieces and dip them into syrup and eat them like a princess.

Noah did go to the extent of using one of the utensils set before him, but he didn’t use it handily. Instead he stabbed the entire pancake with his fork and dipped it in syrup, before taking bites out of it while it dangled in front of his face. It was a sticky affair.
Cam simply slathered her pancakes in butter and cut them into large chunks to pick up with her fork. Syrup was good, but she had to fulfill her pancake dream of chocolate chips and butter.
Kevin grabbed the house phone, dialing his parents number. They answered almost instantly, sounding frantic as they spoke in Russian. They calmed down pretty quickly after Kevin told them he was fine, and tried to explain what happened the best he could.
His attention was drawn to Kylan as he said something about kidnapping Kevin and pancakes. Getting the rough idea, he held the phone with his shoulder, carrying out his conversation like nothing happened. He rummaged through his pantry, finding his old, vintage cookbook and pulling out the pancake recipe. He scribbled the rough English translation on a spare piece of paper. A few words were misspelled, but it wasn’t hard to see what it meant.
He silently said the ingredients, pointing to each of their locations as he did so, along with any dishes they might need, before turning back to the phone.
Kipp stabbed his stack of pancakes to follow Noah's example, though less messy without syrup on it. Chocolate was the absolute best thing ever made. He looked around at the few people sitting at the island on stools, the rest standing, while he munched on his food. Wondering why Kevin wasn't there. Seeing as how it was his house, and they were eating his food. His awesome amazing melted chocolate food.
He caught the sound of his muffled voice behind him, talking on the phone. Kipp knew he probably shouldn't interrupt him, but it also didn't seem fair that he was the only one not eating.
Kipp stood and put a few more pancakes on to a plate with a new fork and took it over to Kevin, setting it on the small table next to the phone. Giving him a smile and a pat on his shoulder.
“You’re welcome,” Cam said, setting her own plate in the sink.Kevin glanced down at the plate, giving Kipp a small smile. “Thank you,” he murmured, covering the phone with a hand. “What can you tell me about this new Coronavirus?“ Kevin asked, distractedly picking at his pancakes as he continued talking on the phone.
“You don’t know? Where have you been the past few months?” His father replied.
“I’ve sort of been... out of town. It’s a long story.” Kevin listened to his parents explain, muting the phone so he could eat without chewing in their ears.
After they finished talking, Kevin hung up, promising to call them back later. He frowned, putting his now empty dish in the sink to clean it off, along with the other dirty dishes. “It looks like we’ll need some sort of electric pass,” Kevin said. “Oh, and thank you for breakfast Cam.”
"True that." Nat rolled once more to be free of the aggressive sheets and sent herself right off the bed. "Ah, well, concussing on command takes an advanced level of talent," she continued, facedown and not willing -or able, for that matter- to reposition her sorry body. "I'd be willing to give instruction for the right price."Lilith gave a thick laugh, sheathing her dagger and making sure it was covered from sight by her blouse. "At least I got the amazing ability to make people think I'm a robot or a video game character come to life." She joked, leaning up against the door frame, stalling as much as she could before having to go down and deal with the ragtag gang. "How's your head? Really good plan, by the way, running into walls and giving yourself the best concussion you could get so you'd pass out and not have to hear the kids' ruckus. I almost shoved my head into the wall several times last night with your example. I implore you."
Hearing Lilith and Nat talking, Maya muttered something and turned over. “Are we still in Russia?” She asked the ceiling. Stupid Coronavirus. I could be at my house sleeping in right now.
"Hey Maya," Nat greeted into the floor. The braided rug smelled like your classic musty floor, with the faintest edge of unwashed feet. Or that might've been her. "So the three of us are bunking in here? Guess we'd better establish a bed rotation schedule, then."Lilith laughed, grinning. "Well, last time I checked we are. I seriously doubt someone snuck in and teleported us to another house."
