Mama knows best

[histemptation]

[If there was a time to take on the position of a mother figure, now was better than never. EVA had naturally been broody for quite a while, and maintaining a close relationship with John had only heightened her desire to take her stance as a lover and a parent. To meet John's sons had been a pleasant enough experience and she had promised the boys

[Solidus was finally out of the wheelchair and he couldn't think of a better way to celebrate! He enters the jungle room happily, equipped once more with his Snake Arms and looking around for his new Mommy.]

[histemptation]

[It took EVA a few moments to realize that the boy plodding into the jungle room was George. She did a double-take initially, due to the lack of a wheelchair, replaced with the arms.]

George?

[worldpresident]

[Solidus pauses and looks behind him, half-expecting the other nine-year-old him to be there before realizing Mommy meant him. He grins happily at her.]

Hi Mommy! Look, Look! Hal fixed my Snake Arms an' I don't need the wheelchair anymore!

[As long as he took lots of breaks, anyway. His legs were still a bit weak and the heavy Arms would take some getting used to.]

[histemptation]

[EVA smiled at the affectionate title given to her. She crouches down in front of him to give him a quick looking over, just to make sure everything was okay.]

What exactly do you use these arms for?

[John got her message and sat up from where he has been sleeping. This Big Boss spends the majority of his time in this room or on the roof, so he didn't have far to go this time.]

[Once he's sufficiently awake, he answers her call.]

You rang?

[histemptation]

Feel like going on a trek today~?

[Her voice is as perky as her chest.]

[snakenbake]

Uhh...sure. Where are we going?

[John sounds a little confused even though he is in a bright mood.]

[histemptation]

I decided to set up a camping trip in the jungle. I have George, and I'm waiting for James to arrive.

[mnotacomputer]

[Hal had never gone camping in his life, so when James mentioned it, he was excited, but nervous. Sleeping outside? But what if there were wild animals?]

[Of course he couldn't let his friend down so when James arrived at the jungle room, there was a little Hal following along behind him.]

[lilquid]

[James arrives with a duffel bag, toting it along as well as his good pal Hal. Not that he would ever say it outloud, but he feels a little better about going on this trip with his friend around. He's spoken with EVA once but is still a little wary of her, particularly if she's anything like his father from his world.]

[But maybe this trip will make him trust her more. He turns back to look at Hal and shouts to him.]

Come on, we're late!

[mnotacomputer]

[Hal was dragging along his own duffel bag. He didn't know what you were supposed to bring to a camping trip so he mostly brought clothes and marshmallows 8D]

I-I'm coming!

[As they entered the jungle room, Hal was feeling more unsure about this. It looked so scary.]

[histemptation]

[EVA was waiting patiently for the other boys to arrive. She watched as the boys traipsed their way into the room and gave a gentle wave to them both.]

There you are~

[She proceeded to crouch down to be at the same level as them both. As she did, her eyes drifted over to the other boy beside her son.]

You must be Hal.
