Higgs thought he might die. There was so much food in him that he had not moved from the sofa for about ten minutes, ever so often just managing a sigh as he breathed. Gemma, from what he could see, was not doing much better on the sofa across from him. Their parents were in the kitchen, pottering around. Higgs hoped they weren't doing the dishes because seeing how it was the Mothering Sunday, it would probably make him and Gemma pretty awful kids if they made their mum wash up after their dad had made them Sunday lunch. Still, he didn't really want to move.
"Can we help, mum?" Higgs called out instead, making a face at Gemma at the idea that they might now have to help. Still, not offering was definitely rude and Higgs was not a man who could do being rude and inconsiderate very well.
"Oh, no, Terence, love, that's fine," there was a response from the kitchen and Higgs gave a relieved sigh. "But," oh. "You and Gemma could take the dogs for a walk?" At that, Higgs was pounced by Poppet who clearly was rather happy with the idea of being walked. Poppet, bless her, was more of a bear than she was a dog and Higgs gave a hearty yelp when she pressed into him.
Gemma, the lucky bitch, had Snickers attempt and fail at jumping even on the sofa since he was so little. Higgs was pretty sure that their parents had gotten the dogs to fill the void left behind by their departing children, but he was still not sure whether they didn't genuinely prefer the dogs to the kids.
"Alright, alright," Higgs said trying to push Poppet off him so he could get up. "Park or the fields?" He asked his sister once he had managed to stand, trying to stop Poppet from pushing him towards the door since they still needed to get leads. And shoes.
