[ic] A witty title about motherly Nobodies goes here

[asthecrow_flies]

[the labs are usually quiet at this time of night.

. . . except when certain crows burst through the door to a certain Nobody's lab, then slams it behind him]

It's like it was waiting for me . . .

[Inside, it's quietly domestic, Zexion sipping tea at the low table while Vexen is off at the lab benches, elbow-deep in notes and lost to the world.]

Ikki?

[asthecrow_flies]

. . . hi Zexion!

[cloakanddaikon]

Good evening.

[asthecrow_flies]

I didn't mean to bust in like that, but uh . . . [g-gestures]

[cloakanddaikon]

Trouble in the halls, again?

[asthecrow_flies]

Yeah. I didn't even go that way this time!

[cloakanddaikon]

It may be time to clean them again.

[asthecrow_flies]

. . . how're you gonna clean 'em?

[cloakanddaikon]

Either by doing it myself, or asking Lexaeus.

Would you like some tea?

[asthecrow_flies]

Heeeh . . . you don't have to worry about that stuff, right?

[blinks] Sure. [comes over to the table]

[cloakanddaikon]

We used to have quite the infestation of snakes, here. It was troublesome.

[Pours a second cup, placing it so as to give Ikki the option of where to sit.]

[asthecrow_flies]

Snakes? Really? Those aren't as bad as that pink stuff . . .

[takes a seat next to him] Thanks.

[cloakanddaikon]

There were a rather excessive number of them. And they kept getting into things.

[asthecrow_flies]

I dunno, I'd still rather deal with snakes.

[cloakanddaikon]

Even though that substance has an easily obtainable antidote?

[asthecrow_flies]

Of course!
