As Harper waved away her concerns, she frowned at him, wondering why he'd slept by the door instead of his bed and knowing that it had to have been her fault. "I'm sorry," she said, her eyes troubled. After a moment, though, she seemed to shake off the sadness, placing it away in a box to be tucked away in the back of her mind.
As for the pancakes, she offered a shy smile. "It's one of the few things we can't agree on," she confided. "I love sweets for breakfast." If she had her way, it would be pancakes and waffles every day, but alas. It was one reason why she liked to go out for breakfast with Jude; they could each have what they wanted without making twice the mess at home.
It was funny to think that she'd gone from having no home to having two; Stormbreak, obviously, was near and dear to her heart, but Torchline had very much become a home away from home as she'd fit seamlessly into Jude's family life. Sometimes she worried that she was too much - that she was there too often, that she took up too much of their time and energy - and recent events had not made that worry go away.
Still, she can't help the soft giggle at Harper's jovial nature, no matter how troubled her thoughts were as they all tumbled together. "You can't have chocolate chip pancakes without the pancakes," she pointed out, gesturing to the variety of ingredients sat out before her. "And I believe the pancakes are currently mine."
