WHO: Lena, Aoife, Adrian, Jesse, Jayden?, Isaiah?, Nicholas?
WHAT: CUTIES BEING CUTIES and also PUPPIES and also oh yeah Nicky is still not great
WHEN: Friday afternoon
WHERE: The International Haus of Sausage
WARNINGS: FLOOF? Language, I dunno.



Having gotten the all clear from JJ, Lena and Aoife proceeded to bake and cook several dishes before loading them all up in the car and driving them over. When JJ answered the door, Lena almost dropped the pie she was holding because even though she had seen JJ about a week and a half ago, she was visibly more pregnant and it was shocking. "That boy is going to come out huge," Lena said, instead of a greeting.

"Oh god, don't even remind me. I'm half terrified it's Nicky's and he's going to come out at four feet tall," JJ said, waving them into the kitchen so they could pyt all the food down.

"This is my friend, Aoife!" Lena said as she unburdened her arms. "She's Roxy's cousin by way of the Greek pantheon," Lena winked.

"With an Irish accent!" Aoife added with a laugh. "Your house is amazing by the way."

"Ah, pffft. That was all Nicky's doing. Nice to meet you! JESSE! LENA IS HERE! I am too pregnant to go get him," JJ laughed.

Jesse had been upstairs reading, and he'd heard the door open and voices start to filter upstairs. But he hadn't been expecting anyone, so he'd settled back down. That, of course, had been when JJ called for him, so he got back up and padded downstairs, smiling at the group of women assembled in the kitchen. "Hey Lena," he greeted her, going in for a hug. "Who's your friend?"

"Aoife," Aoife offered up herself, extending a hand to Jesse. "Lena was regaling your girlfriend with my strange heritage."

"Hey, it's like half the people I know are Demigods, including my son, so I have to mention it just to keep track!" Lena insisted.

"Fair enough too," JJ said, moving to plant a kiss on Jesse's arm. "They brought us about eight days worth of food! We could mush up a bit of it to give to Nicky. I mean, only a little but it's better than that porridge crap."

Aoife had been about to speak up about lending them her bullet which could basically whizz up anything into a smoothie, but a young man had stepped into the kitchen and was now staring at her, his eyes wide. "Uh...hi?" she said, waving a little and then turning bright red because who even waved any more!?

Adrian just continued to stare, fairly sure that the red-headed woman was the most beautiful being he had ever seen.

"Yeah, well, I can count myself in that club, so you're not alone there," Jesse told her, laughing. He leaned down and kissed the top of JJ's head.

"Ooh, excellent," he said, examining the offerings laid out on the kitchen counter. "Yes, we should do this, because that porridge crap can't be great to eat day in and day out."

He glanced over to see who Aoife was talking to, and noticed Adrian standing near the doorway. "Hey Ade," he said, smiling at his brother. "This is Aoife, Lena's friend. They brought us a shitton of food."

Adrian nodded at Jesse's words, but he didn't look away until he realised he had been staring for rather a long time, and turned roughly the colour of a tomato. "Heh."

Aoife was not unused to attention of this kind, though usually it was followed by some kind of terrible pick up line. Instead of teasing Adrian, she smiled over at Jesse. "My mam is Aphrodite," she said with a shrug. "Yours? Are we related too?"

Adrian looked panicked for a moment, before he realised that was unlikely.

Jesse just raised an eyebrow before looking back at Aoife again. "Doubtful. Mama's a Welsh goddess, Ceridwen. Which, you know, we didn't know til a couple months ago, but from what I've seen of the Greek pantheon, I'm pretty glad we aren't tied to some of them. No offense meant to your mother."

Aoife gave a bit of a bitter laugh and she said, "yeah well, my mam had my father killed so...all the offense is okay with me."

After a moment of rather uncomfortable silence, Lena clapped her hands, "okay then! Demigods and friends, I would fellate a donkey for some tea. Should we have some with pie?"

JJ snorted and moved to flick the kettle on. "Sounds perfect. Should I go see if Nicky wants to come down? I can put him in his brand new wheelchair and race him down the hall."

"Please don't fellate donkeys in the kitchen," Jesse said dryly. "Take that outside. But yes, I could go for tea and pie."

"Do you want me to go and get him?" he asked JJ. "Since you had to shout to get me down here in the first place."

"You cannot handle our donkey-ey love," Lena laughed.

"Always making me play the pregnant card," JJ nodded at Jesse. "Probably for the best, but racing him down the hallway would be really cute."

"I'll uhm...get plates!" Adrian spoke up, trying to sound helpful and less like a complete drip. He was still having a very difficult time concentrating with Aoife in the room.

"No, probably not," Jesse agreed.

"Well I'll go and get him, and we'll see how he feels about doing circuits of the first floor for you," he told her, before heading upstairs to get Nicholas. "Hey cher, there's company downstairs. And some food we might actually be able to give you. Feeling up to some visitors?"

Nicholas smiled gently at Jesse and he nodded. "Yeah, you had me at food," he said with a grin. "Inch me into my chair!"

Downstairs, Adrian helped JJ into a chair in the living room and he took a seat beside her. Immediately the dog scampered over to them and lowered her head into JJ's lap, gazing up at her with soulful eyes.

"She's so gorgeous!" Aoife squealed, as Lena cooed her agreement. "Oh hi, baby! I have a dog named Sylvia but she's living with my former housemates at the moment," Aoife said sadly, though she didn't go into why she wasn't currently residing in the house she used to inhabit with Elpis and Cordelia. It was too depressing.

"Nicholas wanted a dog in the house," Adrian said, without realising he was now conversing with Aoife easily. "I think she makes him feel safer."

"Of course she does!" Aoife cooed again. "Wook at her widdle eyes!"

Jesse helped Nicholas into his chair, and wheeled him downstairs to where everyone else was gathered.

"And she loves to play," Jesse added, once they'd arrived in the living room. "I actually look forward to taking her for walks, or to the dog park." He knelt down to scratch her between the ears. "You're such a good girl, yes you are."

Aoife chuckled and immediately joined Jesse on the floor to scratch the dog's belly. "She's gorgeous!" Aoife said, before turning to Nicholas. "Hi there."

"Hey," Nicholas said back, reaching out for JJ's hand. "Sorry I look like a scarecrow."

"Lena told me what happened," Aoife explained as she played with the dog's ears. "Sucks. If you guys need anything just ask, okay? Does this dog have a name?"

"We were thinking Lily," JJ interjected, "but we haven't settled on anything yet for sure."

"I think Lily is great," Aoife grinned. "What about you, Ade?"

Adrian just blushed again and nodded.

Isaiah had been in his room, toying with his rendering software when everyone had arrived. But he'd promised his brothers that he was going to come out and be more social when people were over, so he made his way to the living room to say hello. "Oh wow, it's a party up in here," he said, sitting down next to Jesse. "Hey gorgeous," he said, laughing as the dog rolled over in a clear plead for a belly rub. "You're going to be so spoiled."

"Yeah, but can you blame any of us?" Jesse asked, leaning back on his elbows. He looked over at Adrian, who was doing his best impression of a tomato. However, he said nothing, instead opting to ask, "Who wants iced tea?"

"Iced tea would be amazing," Lena said in a sing-song voice. "Hey, Isaiah! We brought pie too, there's some in the kitchen. Where's little Jay?"

JJ grinned and kissed the back of Nicholas' hand. "Probably video chatting with his boyfriend," she said happily. "It's so cute I could die."

Jesse got up and headed into the kitchen, getting down glasses and filling them with ice. "Right?" he called into the living room. "They're adorable as fuck, and something in my big brother soul is pleased."

Lena chuckled and added, "I have that with Jamie, but it's a step-mom soul. You're right though, Jayden and David are adorable."

Aoife buried her face in the dog's belly and Adrian took that moment to shoot Isaiah a desperate sort of look that he hoped his brother would understand. Adrian didn't get feelings and he didn't fall for people, and Isaiah understood why. And now there was a woman in their house and Adrian could hardly tear his eyes away from her.

Isaiah furrowed his eyebrows, then looked from Aoife to Adrian, and had a lightbulb moment. He inclined his head as if to say, 'Are you going to be OK?' Because there wasn't exactly a subtle way to say, 'Excuse us, I think my brother is having some kind of crisis' without alerting everyone and possibly dredging up all their shit again.

Adrian honestly didn't know if he would be okay, or what okay even was in this situation. He half-shrugged and wondered if he could somehow escape from this happy little party. He didn't want to leave, because being around Aoife was somehow like sunshine was in his veins, but maybe if he put some distance between them the world would make sense again?

With Jesse distracted in the kitchen, Isaiah decided to just say 'fuck it' and take the two of them somewhere for a couple minutes.

"Excuse us for just a minute," he said, jerking his head at Adrian. "We'll be right back." He took them back to his room, closing the door to block out the noise from the living room. "OK, you look like you rode on a tilt-a-whirl and don't know which way is up anymore. What's up?"

"Girl," Adrian answered, leaning up against the wall. "Girl pretty." Isaiah would understand why this was distressing to him instead of exciting. "She's got red hair. She has a beautiful smile. And she's Irish. That's like...hitting all my- Argh, I should just go out for a while. Say I wanted groceries or something. Give me a chance to clear my head."

Isaiah raised an eyebrow, settling himself into his desk chair. "Caveman sentences, OK," he said. "Also, you know they'll be on that like bloodhounds, because there are restaurant kitchens less well-stocked than ours. Just tell them you need some time by yourself. They'll respect that, since gods know we all do that from time to time."
