[in a particularly septic mood, but trying not to let it show]

[lips pressed firmly together, he is dressing in a slightly nicer version of his at-home clothing; a black long-sleeved tee and his better pair of jeans]

[checks his watch; Germany is due in 5 minutes]

[yells down the hall in a slightly peevish tone]

Dear, are you and Matthew ready and in order?

[maple_sickles]

[small smile, not the normal one]

Thank you for your continued dedication for the meme's welfare. We'll see you again soon, and I hope we'll have more time to socialize.

Have a terrific day, Mr. Germany.

[frowns slightly at the child's words]

[this little boy makes him uncomfortable, but he seems to be well cared for, so there would be no justification for removing him from his parents - and truthfully Germany has no desire to do so and be stuck with him]

[turns to the two adults]

Thank you. I wish you the same.

[there is nothing more to be said]

[he lets his eyes rest on discipline!anon's face for a few seconds, then abruptly turns and walks off, holding the folder under his arm protectively]

[maplediscipline]

I don't like him.

Can we make a cake now?

[maple_sickles]

[little grin--perceptive son of his~]

[tiny sigh of relief that this tense, day's over]

Yes, Matthew, I think that's a great idea. Red velvet?

[ruffles his hair a little]

[looks to d!a... she looks crestfallen, a little upset]

[takes her hand and squeezes gently]

[maple_sickles]

[no comment of the dislike]

[small smile at cake request]

Yes, we'll make a cake and have it with milk.

[family is the best, she'll never regret]

[looks up at Matthew]

[her smile widens and squeezes hand back]

I think we all deserve a snack.

[maplediscipline]

[utterly oblivious to this tension! Pats D!a's tummy and leads to the kitchen]

Can I make the icing? Can I use the food coloring? Can mommy have cake, or is that bad for the baby? Little kids shouldn't have too much sweets.

[maple_sickles]

IF you're very tidy and careful, son, of course you can make the icing. Be sure to make it delicious though! And the food colouring, too, if you promise you'll only use a few drops.

[WILL SUPERVISE as he still finds icing behind furniture and lighting fixtures at time]

[kisses the corner of d!a's mouth and gently brushes his fingers over the baby bump]

Yes, Matthew, mommy can have cake today. I think she deserves some.

[...may or may not leave a flaming bag of poop on Germany's doorstep later]

[maple_sickles]

Yes Matthew, I'm counting on you to make the icing!

[nose beep &hearts]

[kisses maple_sickles on the cheek]

We'll have a little. Cake is good.

[pats his hand]

[and to the kitchen with glorious family]

[and stray icing flying]
