Aaren grins. "Oh dear, how ever will we cope? Alright, lay it on us."

Percy sighs dramatically.

"Aaren... You're amazing cook, but I only enjoy food by proxy. I am so sorry."

"-That's going to make birthday dinners complicated."

"On the other hand, I think we all know me and Lan enjoy your cooking enough that Percy is going to be enjoying your food a lot, even if it is by proxy."

Smile. "That's the spirit!"

"Guess you're just gonna have to make all our favourites," Lan grins at Aaren.

"Your favourites, last I checked, were anything I made."

"Sounds like the birthday dinner is all set then."

"That's good then," Aaren agrees, turning back to his cooking. "-Do you have preferences on paint colours? I figure we can redecorate the spare room for you?"

Headshake. "I never had a strong aesthetic sense, but I've never knew if that was only due to a lack of a source to get from. Lan can pick it."

Lan starts to grin.

"Gods, no! His sense of style is like...polka dots!"

"But imagine how happy he would be whenever someone saw my room and was promptly horrified."

"-Okay. I can't actually argue with that."

"Where's your laptop, 'Chelle? I feel the need to browse paint shops for inspiration."

"You may regret this," Aaren said, amused.

Shrug. "I will paint that bridge when I get to it."

"Oooh, good one. You're gonna fit in here just fine."

Grin. "I am surprised there are only three of us so far. Is Aaren restricting himself to supernatural kids?"

"On the whole, I don't actually run into situations where kids need a place to stay. Just the three of you so far. I'd need to build an extension if we decide to pick up any more. Or convert the attic."

"Uh... my power is actually liable to provide opportunities for that."

"-Failing that, Ange has an entire estate. Her house has...okay, I don't actually know how many bedrooms her house has."

"See: Dad always has a backup plan!"

Percy takes this moment to bask at them all.

'Chelle leans over and wraps an arm around him. "I'm going to take a wild guess that you probably feel positively about cuddlepiles?"
