WHO: Jade, Open to Prometheus and Aidan
WHEN: Saturday mid-morning
WHERE: Aidan's family home
WHAT: General morning times
Jade thought Aidan's mom was a complete riot and she could picture the two of them getting on pretty well if she lived nearby. Hell, maybe she should marry Aidan as that promised a pretty good mother-in-law. She was eating so much better than she would have been at home - as Jade tended to forget about things like eating, instead focusing on the smoking and drinking parts of life - and this morning she sat outside on the steps, a turkey sandwich in hand and wearing a sweater kindly lent to her from one Aidan's brothers.
Any time she left New York, Jade felt like a kid again. She felt like she was twelve years old and piled into the back of her parent's station wagon, part of the Ever-Roving Aldebrandis all over again. It made her miss New York. Being away from home made her near-ache for it as though she might never get back there again.
She pulled the flask from her pocket and took a swig of vodka and was just slipping it away when she heard someone on the steps behind her. "Not a bad day," she told them without turning yet to see who it was.

Aidan was really enjoying the hell out of himself, being back home and seeing his parents again, eating real food that didn't come from a takeout place or a box, and just slowing down for a couple of days. It was awesome.
He woke up around 10, wandering downstairs and scooping stuffing into a bowl, topping it off with some gravy before zapping it in the microwave. Screw cereal and milk, this was ten times better.
He saw the top of Jade's head through the window in the front door, and slipped outside to sit next to her while he ate. "Yeah, it's pretty awesome," he agreed. "How long you been out here?"

"Twenty minutes?" Jade guessed, taking a bite of her disappearing sandwich and smiling at him. She leaned her cheek against his shoulder for a moment as she chewed and then after swallowing she lifted her head and smiled at him. "Sleep well?"

"Like a fucking rock. You?" he said with a grin. "Coming back here is really comforting for me, at least in small doses." He loaded up his spoon, thinking while he chewed and swallowed. "So what do you think of the family so far?"

Prometheus liked Aidan's family. There was the hassle of hiding who he truly was, but he made himself useful by listening and helping where he could. He imagined the piece of art he'd given to Aidan's mother had smoothed things over and he felt a part of a family.
In the end he he went to find Aidan and Jade, never sleeping wel lbut they both knew that habit of his, and found them seated together. "well, this is a lovely sight." He set his hands in his pockets and approached the two, "morning." It took a lot not to freak out and look for eagles, but he managed. The phantom pain he always endured would just be ignored.

"I like them," Jade told him with a nod and a warm expression. "Your mom's great fun. I slept alright though. I always feel a little off-centre away from home."
Hearing Prometheus, Jade turned to look up at him. "Hello, gorgeous. Me and Aidan are enjoying the spoils of war," she told him, raising the end of her sandwich.
There was a smudge of grease on her glasses and she pulled them off to clean them against her jeans, leaving the two boys a blur around her for a moment.

"Good," he said, and meant it. "I told you she was awesome. And hopefully tonight will be better, though I know what you mean. I almost miss my cramped little apartment. Almost."
He turned when he heard Prometheus approach, smiling at him. "Morning. And yes, we are." He waved his spoon nonsensically, dislodging some loose stuffing. "And now we're mourning the first casualty of war," he added, fulling an exaggerated sad face.

Laughing eh shook his head and took a spot between them. "I both congratulate and condole you then." IT was nice to share this bit of peace. His own family was so often torn apart he liked seeing the mortals be happy. Unconsciously he set his hand on his side and spared a glance to the sky. "Neither of you are going to share, are you?"

Jade noted the touch to his scar but said nothing, instead leaning in to lay a soft kiss against his throat. "You can have the end of my crust?" she offered, showing him all that was left of her sandwich. "I might suggest real food would be better though."

Aidan had better than half a bowl left of his stuffing, so he took another bite and offered the bowl to Prometheus, planting a kiss on his cheek. "Go ahead and have this, I can go and get more. Mom already thinks you're too skinny, she told me to remind you to eat when we go back home."

He took the bowl with a grin. He had hardly minded the kisses. These two were incredibly dear to him and just having that love was more then he could have imagined having. "Thank you, now I won't need to get up." He gave a light chuckle and glanced around, "well let's not tell her that my lack of weight is because of a few decades of not having any food. I do want to thank you both for letting me come. It's nice to be part of a family."

"Aidan's the only one to thank," Jade said, poking a finger into the gravy into Prometheus' bowl and then popping it into her mouth with an innocent expression. "I'm just along for the ride as well."

"It's been great having you guys here," Aidan said, snickering at Jade's gravy thievery. "And the family likes you. So you're pretty much set. Expect lots of packages of baked things around Christmas time."
"Yeah...some things she doesn't need to know," he agreed. "Honestly, I think she might handle it OK, but who knows?"

He gave Jade a look, "you know as the resident God, I'm the one who is suppose to get the food." He couldn't imagine taking anything from either of them though, so he was just joking. "Either way, I enjoy spending time around both of you. You know that."
"I do like baked things." He smiled, "perhaps in due time."

Jade just smirked at him. "I've slept with way too many gods to give up my breakfast for them," she teased and then pointed at the mortal man. "Aidan can be the faithful praying one. I'm just here to provide a good view."

Aidan shrugged easily, sticking his tongue out at her. "It's not like there aren't enough leftovers for an army in the kitchen. And if we don't eat most of them, Mom'll just send them home with us."
"So...you're the eye candy and I'm the acolyte?" he said, snickering. "It's too early for this conversation."

He laughed. "Unsurprisingly I am very okay with this arrangement." Not that he needed praise or even worship. He held himself as a n equal to mortals, not above them. "Here," he handed Jade his left overs, never one too eat much. "Have the rest."

"Are you doubting my eye candy status?" Jade asked him with a raised eyebrow, despite the fact that she was casually dressed in her glasses and with her hair tied up in a messy ponytail. She'd certainly looked better.
Jade took the bowl and then said, "this is why you're a skinny fucker."
