[SE] 'Cause I'm on my bullshit like a matador

Used to keep it cool, used to be a fool

With the clear lack of prior foundation, Kaisel hesitates only briefly to consider if this is a foundation he should be building. Nightmares might turn her mother into one for him. Ah well, the day is young, plenty of time to distract her with other things before bed. "Well, they were sneaky. Made things seem normal, but began to infect all the areas with corrupted plants and animals. They took over my home, Stormbreak, and they infected people you loved and turned them into mind-zombie-weirdos." A shudder runs up his spine, and he shakes his head, teeth clenching. "Killed people, too. Or near enough it." It hadn't been all that long ago yet, but he still looks back on it and feels the rising frustration of how little he'd been able to do. "They got their ass kicked though, although not by me. Ronin, Remi, and Sunjata pricked one of them with a special flower that cured the infections. It left her weak, and the rest of the Family made a deal to leave for good in exchange for getting her back." They were a family, after all, however twisted.

Drawing in a long breath, the sign of a story ending, he gathers up their offered package of chicken. "Anyway, they're gone now, so we're safe." Until they're not, but that seemed a bit too heavy for her to bear yet. Which is why he eagerly leans back into the talk of desserts as they begin their walk back to Wildering house. "I was just going to ask if you'd be the mixer!" Grinning, he shifts all the goods they've acquired under his arms. "Do you prefer double chocolate chunk, or creamy fudge?"
