He glances at the roof. "We need a bigger house," he mumbles. "Those two can't be kept in the same room together anymore. I'm surprised they tolerated it this long."

He finishes up the ruby and Aqua arriving home with the dishes done well. Christopher glances between the solid floating screen with transparent frames.

Aqua blinks "Dad, what the hell are these?" he glances at him. "Hmm, oh you're home their my work screens when away from my computer. I have to make up for those 5 hours of sleep."

He says "anyhow I attempt a Korean dish this time." he says pointing at the Kimichi stew. "It's really hot, so I'd let it cool."

He looks at Ai. "So you're asking when a Teenager is going to actual Talk to an Adult?" she tilts her head confused." Christopher sighs.

"They refuse to talk to adults most of the time. Even I was like. That if she's anything like me, she'll try to figure it out herself."

He says, resting his hand on hers. "So I'd Stay on the Down Low for now. If it gets too bad we can force her, however her trust in us will break down."
