[The news of his sister’s engagement came as unexpected to Mithos, even though it probably shouldn’t have. Raine has been with Jack since before he had even been born; he’s known the man his entire life. He’s always accepted it as the norm, and despite the over-protectiveness he harbors for his one and only sister, he entrusts her wellness to the

[Action] for when you get home |D;;

[whats_a_sneeze]

[You may note that your mother isn't at the door right away when you first come back; that is simply because she is freaking out-by freaking out, I mean perched on top of the counter hunched in a terrified little ball with a duster in hand.

She notes Mithos with some anxiety in her face.]

Mithos-you've got to help me! Th-there's a strange creature...!

[Said creature ribbits rather loudly in response. :|]

[Action] living with Sayo: always a new adventure!

[imatreestill]

[He quickly (but gently!) sets his purchase down and hurries over to rescue his poor mother. When he sees what her assailant is...well, it's to be expected. He briefly sighs a smile and proceeds to work at calming her. Placing one hand on her upper arm, he rubs soothingly.]

Mom, it's all right; it's just a frog. It won't hurt you.

[OH MY GOD MITHOS DON'T WALK NEAR THAT THING-

Wait, wait, what?]

A... frog? What's that...?!

[Action]

[imatreestill]

It's an animal that lives in ponds. See- [he ducks down to scoop the creature up...except it hops away. Ack. Try again... and miss. Third time's the charm. Triumphantly, he pops back up to show mama.] -it's probably as afraid of you as you are of it.

[Which clearly means that catching the poor creature is the right thing to do in this situation. Hey, it's a learning moment, okay?]

[That calm attitude toward it certainly helps. She toes down to the floor, still holding the counter, but... it seems safe...] Ah... I-I wonder how it got all the way over here...

[It's slimy looking. Should you be touching it? Should I get some disinfectant? 3:^/]

Re: [Action]

[imatreenow]

[he steps back, to give her room to come down.]

Maybe I accidentally left the door open when I left. [...even though that's much more likely to be on Sayo's account. But.] It probably wanted to meet you because it could tell how kind you are. Then you scared it when you jumped on the counter like that. [...Which one is the parent, here? This is just normal to him, though.]

Re: [Action]

[whats_a_sneeze]

Oh, no! I had no clue... I suppose it's only natural, being scared of someone who's overreacting so much...! [She can't help but smile behind her hand despite her frazzled nerves, looking at the creature in Mithos' hands.]

Not to mention, it is rather small, now that I really look at him...

[But bigger than a river crab, at least. 8|]

[Action]

[imatreenow]

Exactly, so there's no reason to be so scared. Besides - even if it was something dangerous, I'd be here to protect you. [AS THE MAN OF THIS FAMILY 8|]

Re: [Action] LMAO, dem italics!! XD 1/2

[whats_a_sneeze]

I know you would--you're a strong boy, Mithos; I trust you to keep things safe.

Re: [Action]

[whats_a_sneeze]

[Her soft gaze perks a little in thought.]

Ah, what should we do with our guest?

[Action] --sdjkfhsdkjfh html fail B(

[imatreestill]

[He will never tire of hearing praise from mama; he likes knowing that he's doing his job well. A warm smile...

...Then peering down at the frog.]

I'll...go put him back outside. [Before it jumps out of his hands. brb, scurrying back out the door.]

Re: [Action] it's like his TRUE crazy showed for a second!! XD

[whats_a_sneeze]

[A smile, before she turns and begins to make a dinner--rice, fish, vegetables, the usual. It's a nice day today... very calming.]

[Action] SOB none of that around Mama Sayo ;A;

[imatreestill]

[And he's back! Nothing bad happened in the minute he was gone, did it?

As she cooks, he'll hover around, peering at the meal being prepared. A small noise of approval and appreciation.]

I like the fish cooked this way. [Which you probably know, but may have forgotten. Either way, mothers like to feel appreciated, don't they?]

Re: [Action] ;~; YEAH

[whats_a_sneeze]

[Oh yes, you definitely know how to brighten your mother's look, don't you, child? At any rate, she could never allow herself to forget the foods that matter to you. Even if she forgets her own...]

I'll make it with some dashi and carrots to go with it; how does that sound?

[Action]

[imatreenow]

Sounds great. Do you need me to help with anything?

[This is one of the many things he loves about his mother: her ability to always have a calming presence, regardless of any mundane, forgotten thing she may be fretting about. He can feel every stressor melting away; even the encounter he'd had with his brother before arriving home can be pushed to the back of his mind.]

Re: [Action]

[whats_a_sneeze]

[Such a good boy, helping his mother out. 3:^)]

Ah, you want to? I'll have to have these carrots peeled, after all!

[She'd spent your life knowing you like to help with any little thing-and in turn it brings her serenity in even the most frustrating days. But even still... she worries sometimes, that you do too much for her sake, when she was supposed to be a mother to you.

... These little moments, they're better.]
