[ Denzel's sat at the bar of 7th Heaven. He's trying really, really hard to put on a brave face, but his bottom lip is trembling and it's taking all his will-power not to cry. ]

Has anyone seen my Mom?

Who's your mom, Denzel? I can help you look for her.

[sunnyworks]

She really is. You'll have to come meet her sometime. [She nods, and that's the end of that conversation. No need to make her super obvious crush on Karolina even more apparent.]

[xnotyetaherox]

[ Aw Vanille! It's alright to have a crush! Crushes make the world go round or something.

Denzel finishes his muffin and drinks his hot chocolate. ] Thank you for bringing me here. It's great.

[sunnyworks]

[Yeah, wait til Denzel hits puberty, he'll be singing another tune then.]

It was no problem at all. I'm available anytime you need me.

[xnotyetaherox]

[ Yep. The Denzel Teen Years will be a living hell for all around him!

He gets up from his seat and moves around to Vanille to glomp her in a big hug. ] You're the best!

[sunnyworks]

Oh! Thank you, Denzel. [She returns the hug gladly, sneaking a hand up to ruffle his hair.]

[xnotyetaherox]

[ That totally wasn't a giggle... okay, it was... ] I like spending time with you! You're fun!

[sunnyworks]

[D'aww could Denzel get any cuter.] I like spending time with you too.

[She gives him another quick hug before getting up and tossing their trash in the waste bins.] Ready to go?

[xnotyetaherox]

[ He's going to be such a little heartbreaker! He nods and bounds over to Vanille, offering his hand. ] Ready if you are!

[sunnyworks]

[She takes his hand again, leading the way out of the cafe.] Anywhere else you want to go? Or would you just like to go home?

[xnotyetaherox]

I don't mind. Do you want to go anywhere?

[sunnyworks]

I'm yours for the day, buddy. We can do whatever you want. [Assuming she's capable of providing it. She can't just conjure a unicorn to ride through space on, sorry. She's tried.]

[xnotyetaherox]

We could go to the park!

[sunnyworks]

That sounds brilliant. The weather's so nice today. [With that settled, she turns them in the direction of the park.]

[xnotyetaherox]

[ He swings their arms lightly, smiling. ] I like the park. There's no grass back home.

[sunnyworks]

None at all? That sounds terrible.
