♦ ♦ 20th Contract - Video/Action For Housemates

[ The feed clicks on to a familiar sight. 'Li' being 'Li' -- placidly preoccupied with cooking. A spread of ingredients -- a slab of dough, grated vegetables, minced beef -- are in bowls on the kitchen counter. But it's apparent that the kitchen isn't his. It's too large, too well-appointed. But Li opens shelves, takes out pots and utensils, as if he's familiar with the setting. Moving to the fridge, he cracks it open to peer inside. ]

[ And scowls. ]

[ Pitching his voice to a yell -- ] You forgot the milk. Again [ -- he reaches inside to withdraw two eggs. ] One simple task. And she can't do that right...

[ Such a sweet-tempered hubby. Whatever dish he's making is surely filled with love. Halfway to the counter, he nearly trips over something lying on the floor. Glowering, he stoops to collect a child's colorful softball. ] ...It's like living in a damn toybox... [ Grumblegrumble. Hopefully he's not this charming all the time. (Spoiler: he is.) ]

[ (Ain't family life grand?) ]

[ OOC: Hit with Family Day! Mad Hatter, July, Yin and Hei are a merry (dysfunctional :|) fambly bunch. Threadjacking is mightily encouraged! Go forth and spread chaos! ^^ ]

[Gyoza that are not gyoza? July tilts his head to watch daddy make the dumpling then picks one up to do it too before holding it up to show to his father.

Did he do a good job, daddy?]

[ A bit slapdash, but not bad for a beginner. The boy has nimble little fingers. 'Li' nods his approval. ] That's great. Can you handle folding the others while I make the soup?

Yes, daddy.

[Setting the dumpling down, he goes about folding the rest and setting them up. It's clear he's improving as he goes, getting them closer and closer to matching the one his father did first.]

[On her way to sit down at the kitchen table, Yin passes July. While it's almost absently, and not very skilled, and her hand doesn't quite completely connect, she gives July a pat on his head.]

[He looks up at her because oh...hi.]

[She stops for a moment just to look at what he's doing.]

[He holds one up. Look, he's making dumplings.]

[She nods at it. Maybe she should try too?]

How many are needed?

Daddy did not say.

[So he's just folding them all.]

[She nods and slowly reaches for one. Might as well help him, since Hei didn't give her the okay to buy milk.]

[What an adorable little familial scene. Well, half of it is, the other half is being his usual jerk self so ne isn't talking to him.]

Hello darling. Having fun?

[And there's a kiss to the top of July's head because ne can.]

[Ah. His favorite person in the whole world.

He shows what he's doing.]

I am helping, mommy.

[And as always ne has a smile for nir little...angel...]

Such a good boy. I'm sure you're doing a fine job.

I will make them for you sometime, mommy.

Mommy'd like that very much.

Do I have to go with daddy to the store?

[Yes, he heard that. He looks up at mommy.]

[Setsuna comes up behind July to give him a hug, the desire to nuzzle for a bit in there as well. He can't ask what July is doing, but he does give the dumplings a look.]

[Setsuna hugs a lot.

Like...

A LOT.

July looks up at him. You're not part of the family.]

[Who said he had to be part of the family to hug? He's not ruffled by what he doesn't know, anyway. He pats July's head then points to the dumplings. He didn't know July knew how to cook!]

[He looks at the dumplings.]

Daddy said to fold them.

[Daddy? So much blinking. Hatter had said children. But.... Then.... Setsuna looks very perplexed and points to 'Li' at that.]

[He nods. Yep. That's daddy.]

[ Stirring the soup ingredients into a simmering pot, he watches July work from the corner of his eye. The boy's a quick learner. Reaching out, he pets him on the head in a fond gesture, ] You've got the hang of it already. Just don't get any of the spicy filling in your eye. It stings like a mad bastar -- [ Language, Daddy. ] Just. Be careful.

[He nods and makes sure to be careful.]

[ The boy is a future chef in the making. He's sure of it. ]
