Miguel-verse. Creed's residence. Warm summery night.

Fluß poked the slab of beef that lay in a bowl on the counter and found it satisfactorily thawed.

She put her ears back, then flicked them toward the doors, listening again for Victor's return. "(He should be back by now,)" she said to Peter, who was quietly smacking on his fist in his sling. "(He said that this was going to be an easy mission.)"

Ears back again, she went to the back door and listened again, one hand absently smoothing the long, sparkly, blue and green tie-dye skirt that she wore before it went up to tuck her white streak behind her left ear.

"N' they come like that?" His eyebrows lifted as he bit into his steak.

"They vere in that thing." She pointed to the can that sat by the sink. It bore a bright label with a picture of a fat caterpillar on it.

He went over and sniffed it, then smiled.

"Smells good," he said, continuing to devour the steak until there was nothing left.

She watched the roast vanish, munching contentedly on her own supper one-handed. "Ve need more meat. This vas the last. You've even eaten the bones."

He blinked, then nodded.

"I'll have Chuck send the quick kid over with some fer t'night n' the mornin'. N' then I kin' get more t'morrow."

"(You want more tonight?)" she asked in her native tongue, laughing. "(That was six pounds of meat!)"

Peter popped off the breast with a sigh and called for his daddy to take him and burp him. Fluß straightened her clothing and lowered her wing to hold him out, her ears twitching at how his fuzzy grey hair was standing up in tufts.

He smiled and took the babe.

"Dunno. It was delicious, but it was a lot a work t'day. Might want a piece a' KFC later," he smirked, then blinked as the Professor admonished him to let the boy with the meat in. Creed blinked and ordered security to be let up.

Fluß picked up the last caterpillar and popped it into his mouth, then licked the bowl clean and put it back in the cupboard before going to take the package from the boy.

The boy was shaking, and stared at her with huge eyes befoe dropping the box and bolting in the blink of an eye.

Creed frowned and came out as well.

"I kin get it," he said.

[random_xtras]

"You have Peter." She scooped it up one-handed, ears twitching uncertainly as she tossed her braid back over her shoulder. "But vhy did he run?"

[another-phace.livejournal.com]

"Dunno," he smirked. "Maybe 'cause he's onna the kids trying to break in the other night."

[random_xtras]

"Ach." Her ears went back in a frown and she almost put the box down to go after the boy and ask him why he'd done such a thing and frightened her baby.

"Just wanted t' set up somethin' for mischief," he said, catching her wrist and kissing him. "Don' worry. Chuck n' I dealt with 'em. Besides, they never made it past exterior defence."
