Talk Over Food

Yren grabbed himself a plate of food and then headed over to the table where his mother was sitting. He took a seat beside her, and Mira looked over at him sideways.

"Yes?" Mira asked, and Yren poked his mother's face.

She looked like she had been giving this attitude to everyone all morning, but Yren wasn't having any of it for himself. Mira could boss the others around to a degree, but Yren just wanted to sit down and have a chat with the people that really made up his family.

"Don't be such a bear. I am coming over here to eat with you, at my house. Or did you want me to scold you for putting the girls to work?" Yren asked, turning back to his food, making the table laugh.

"Wow, now I can really see why the boy turned out the way he did!" Goranth laughed.

"You two are quite similar, but Yren still has his father's softer side," Marta said with a smile.

"I am not a softy, ya know!" Tybrus complained, and even Mira laughed at that.
