"Use me"?
[ That makes her give Surge A Look because tf you've been treating/telling this kid??? twitch twitch twitch...breathe. That's something to dissect when you've got them alone, not together. Back to momhood. All is safe and well in momhood. ]
... A-hem. They're already heroes! Just like the rest of the fam. Managing to create a mutiny on sky pirates, tricking a whole batch of villains to hand over their money and power, saving folks from an avalanche... there's nothing they can't do when they put their minds to it!
1/2
ding!
a bell is tapped at the back kitchen, and he reluctantly shifts away from surge, dropping onto the floor and marching off so that he can go fetch della's order. ]
2/2
[ it does cause surge to laugh a little bit, but there's a reason for this, surge is the only one who can utilize kitsunami perfectly. ]
Anyway, so your little gremlins, I say this endearingly, do all the cool work while you just watch? C'mon, you should get in on the action!
no subject
She sucks on the inside of her cheek, struggling not to fall for the bait. Stick to the fam. ]
Who said I don't? We're a whole family of adventurers - we work together. But sometimes the kids go off and do their own thing without us even knowing. And when you're a parent, you have to accept it's gunna happen. You gotta let them learn on their own...
[ Her eyes grow soft, shoulders lowering as she says this. ]
As a mom, you'll always need your kids. But your kids won't always need you. It's not an easy lesson to learn... but I'm so proud of them.
1/2
"—won't always need you. It's not an easy lesson to learn... but I'm so proud of them."
kit freezes, looking between the two of them. the tray in his hands falls to the floor, and he's at surge's side in an instant, wrapping his arms around her. ]
Surge doesn't need that lesson! I'll always be with her! Stop trying to separate us!
2/2
Oof.
[ surge looks to the duck, waving a hand. ]
Chick, you suck at this whole set of words that sound really bad.
[ that's why the tenrec pats kit's head trying to calm him down, also, they can't lose their customer. ]
It's cute though, you're such a family-matters type of feather duster. [ it's with a mischievous look in her eyes as she stares right at della. ] What you said ain't true, they're always gunna need you.
[ if surge and kit's upbringing are a good example, if only their parents had put out posters and signs looking for them. maybe they could have been found, maybe they could have had their old lives still before becoming "this". ]
no subject
Kitsunami!
[ As a result, she was ready to spring out of her chair, only... for that all to happen, instead. Her shoulders sink, and she holds up her hands, trying to set things right. ]
Whoa, whoa whoa! I wasn't saying anything about the two of you! It was about me and my kids! Trust me, I am the LAST person who should impart lessons on anyone!
Look, I'm not Surge's biggest fan [ shocking, truly ] but that doesn't mean I want to tear you two apart! Clearly you guys care about each other, and it'd take a real monster to try and pull you away. Just because I don't like someone doesn't mean I want something bad to happen to them, or that I want their family torn away.
[ And at this point, she has to assume they're family. Of sorts. Why else be this toxically co-dependent? ]
1/2
...
[ then he pulls his gaze away again, squeezing surge for a moment before he pulls away, sitting up. he'll look to her as if for confirmation, but as long as she doesn't say della's lying...
his shoulders slump. ]
S-sorry...
2/2
[ because surge isn't going to say that della wasn't threatening her, but she isn't going to say that she was either.
the tenrec looks over to the mother, smirking as one hand pats kitsunami's head again. ]
You should get your fill of hating me, because I'm going to make you love me by six months, possibly sooner.
[ sometimes that's how it works, when she sees how much of a hero surge is, then she'll have no choice. ]
You won't have to go awooga when you see me, but you're definitely going to eat these words, Chick. Then you're gunna apologize to Kit for lyin'.
no subject
... I genuinely hope I can. I really mean it.
[ And she really does mean that. If in six months Surge can turn over a new leaf, and stop being a jerk, Della would happily admit she'd been a liar. Granted, she'd be WAY happier if she was actually home in six months, but let's set one miracle at a time.
As for the food... ]
Anyway, waste not, want not. Down the hatch!
[ When you eat nothing but black licorice flavored oxy-chew for 10+ years, you really stop getting picky about your meals. Which is why Della just grabs the fallen sandwich, grabs it, and gets to chomping.
Probably wayyyy past the five-second rule at this point. ]
Mmmf. Not bad.
1/2
What'cha think?
[ with the way she eats, it kinda reminds surge of days with kitsunami when they're not able to get a good meal. then again, kit feeds her first and himself second, sometimes it seems like he doesn't have an appetite.
they'll definitely get paid good for this. ]
There's this ham that's roasting in the back, pineapples and cherries on top to give a sweeter taste. You interested?
2/2
he frowns, pausing for a moment to weigh his options before he slides back off of his seat. ]
Um... [ ough. ] I-I'm sorry... T-t-there are people who want to take Surge away, but... Sorry...
[ he's all drooping, shoulders slumped, holding one of his ears in each hand as his gaze rests on the floor. ]
no subject
Small slice of ham, and maybe something sweet for dessert. That'll do.
[ burp.
And then, BAM - Kitsu-dorable!!! Ugh, her heart!!! The urge to swoop him up in her arms and cuddle him and ruffle his hair and tell him he's the bestest boy!!! ]
It's fine, really! I swear! I'm not one of 'em. Shoot, I don't even know you two well enough to know what's best or worst for either of you. If I'm outta line again, you can give me another verbal smackdown. Standing up for yourself and those you love is a good skill.
no subject
Y-yes! I won't let anybody say bad things about Surge...
[ even you, della. but with a glance to her on the floor, kit's going to move a little closer to pick up the platter and plate that she's sitting with, then look at surge expectantly. he probably can't do the ham himself. ]
2/2
Right, Chick, I love to give verbal smackdowns, you'll hear a lot from me.
[ getting up, she walks over to della to place her arm around the girl's waist. one hand pinches at her stomach to get an idea of what they're working with. ]
Let's feed that gullet, huh?
[ pulling away, she looks to kit with the plate and platter. reaching out to snatch it out his hands before turning towards the kitchen, her twin tails just a wagging from her antagonistic ways. ]
no subject
... Then gives her own stomach a pinch. ]
I'm not getting that heavy, am I? ... Might need to start some exercises before bedtime.
1/1
I don't think you're heavy...
[ is that right? he's perching up on his seat again regardless. ]
no subject
[ Why can't things stay like this? Just her and Kitsunami and some mead? But instead of doing what she'd like - shaking Kitsunami over and over and going WHAT IS WITH YOU AND SURGE, THAT IS NOT NORMAL, DO YOU NEED THIS WORLD'S VERSION OF CPS??? - she instead moves to pat her metal leg. ]
Y'see, folks like me have to keep special track of their weight. Otherwise, it might cause too much of a strain on limbs like this. I could always get it fixed up, but since I made it, I'm kinda sentimental about it.
1/1
... Me and Surge have something like that too.
[ not a prosthetic so to speak, unless you'd maybe count their skeleton, but they do have artificial and metal parts in them. kit... kind of didn't expect to find others who are similar. ]
no subject
[ She can only hope they didn't get their 'extra parts' by similar trauma... ]
Mine's a pretty long story, but the short version, this was a rocket-ship crash. [ a beat, then a quick after-thought - ] Don't worry, I'm not asking you to divulge your tragic origin story! Not my business if you don't wanna say it.
1/2
[ a little different from theirs, he guesses, but it still came from something bad. is that the same?
kit's peering down at his lap, where he closes and opens one of his hands, peering down at it thoughtfully. it's not like it's a secret what happened to them, but he doesn't know if that's what surge wants. it's not like they need to advertise it either. ]
...
2/2
[ a speedy tenrec appears with a metal platter in hand, electricity zapping around the plate, and a piece of ham as she had said it'd be before on top. the only difference is that... it's gotten a little charred on the way out, and that's only because when she runs, her whole body is normally covered in an powerful charge. ]
Chef's said they did somethin' extra special. Not sure, but I guess it's your expensive slab of meat now.
[ this is why she'll drop it on the table, thumping a few times as she notes the way kit is kind of... doing that weird, little introvert thing he does. ]
If you're hungry, I'm sure Chick will let ya mooch.
no subject
... trying to ignore the fact that Surge is, once again, trying to gouge her for all her money... ]
Huh. Thought last time it was just the device, but... you've got some kind of magic or special power going on here? [ She gestures with the fork to all the zappy-zap. ]
1/2
[ as far as she's concerned, she's a thunderbolt that's ready to explode at any moment. well, who knows how long this will last, but it's fine. ]
That's thanks to the all-mighty powerful dragon I was tellin' ya about.
[ how long can she fuck with della when it comes to this. blue electricity snakes around the ham, through the platter, and then back onto surge before disappearing in a couple of seconds. the bright light in her eyes dim, returning to a normal, dull shade as she places one hand on her hip. ]
2/2
kit peers over at surge, but even when she's lying, he knows by now that it's usually for a good reason, like with starline. so he nods fervently in agreement, but doesn't seem concerned with speaking in support of surge. instead, he taps his fingers against the top of the table, because any moment now...
BOOM!
the building shakes. the lights go out. the sound of a small explosion(?) comes from somewhere in the back of the restaurant, and people begin swarming the floor like ants as they hurry to escape in case of another.
kit's just chillin. ]
