Who: Henry Spencer, Logan Echolls, later Tesla Spencer?
When: This morning/early afternoon.
Where: The house.
What: A chat.
Warnings/Status: Nothing probably. In Prog.

Tesla had come downstairs an hour later than usual, looked groggier than usual and said less than usual while Henry dealt out breakfast, asking about Logan. Kept his to the side, decided the kid more than deserved to sleep in for a while, and once Tess and Shawn were done and Shawn went off to go out with Gus, Henry dug out ten bucks and asked his daughter to run to the farmer's market and pick up some fruit, knew that would take her a while, since she was well versed in what was good and bad in both hers and Shawn's taste, and she thoroughly examined everything before buying it.

He cleaned up his and the kids' dishes and took them to the sink and filled it with water, pausing reflectively as he waited for the warm, suddy water to rise. What the hell was he thinking? He knew the kid was trouble, knew what Lamb and everyone said, and still, he felt bad for him, and he knew Tesla agonized over him when she didn't know if he was all right or not. He sighed, shutting off the tap, grabbed a plate to start scrubbing off the egg and pancake syrup.

The sound of feet on the stairs shook him from his thoughts and he stepped into the kitchen doorway to peak over at them while drying the plate he'd just been washing, managed a pleasant smile. "Well it's nice to see you've finally rolled out of bed." Nodded over as he spoke. "There's breakfast on the stove, you can use the microwave to warm it up, if you'd like. How did you sleep?"

Henry was caught smiling over at them, stumbled, debating covering it or just letting it slide the once, sighed and shrug. "Yeah well, Tess's mother was her age and I was yours when we met, and we got marries a year later. I know better than anyone there won't be any stopping it." Set his mug in the sink. "As for you staying, don't rush it, trust me, it's not as great living on your own as you might think. You're welcome."

Gave his shoulder a pat, flicking Tess playfully on the nose before kissing the top of her head. "I gotta go to work, don't forget to call the Sheriff this evening. Take it easy Logan, Tess knows how to get a hold of me if the need arises." Smiled at them before grabbing his holster and heading out the sliding door.

Tess rubbed her nose, wrinkling it at her father before he left, turning back to drape her arms over his shoulders, smiled at him. "Course I don't mind, I was practically living with you in the pool house." Another little kiss, ran her fingers through his hair. "You look a lot better, I was really worried about you. No more late night bridge trips, okay? You could have stumbled and fallen and. . .I just couldn't handle that."

Kissed the spot between his nose and lips gently, nuzzled her nose to his, thumbs caressing his cheekbones. "So yeah, no job hunting today, just a lazy day with you, whatever you wanna do, even if you wanna just curl up and be emo, I'm all yours." Settled her arms around his neck again, pressing her forehead to his shoulder, holding him gently. "Love you. Forever."

"Me? Emo?" He shook his head, made a face. "I'm allergic to eyeliner." The joke coming automatically, even as he put his other arm around Tess to pull her closer. He was quiet, listening to her breath, the sounds of the house. "I wouldn't do that to you, Tess." He kissed the top of her head. "Would not leave you like that. Ever."

He brushed the back of his hand over her cheek, gently tipped her face up to kiss her. "I need to figure out what happened to my car. Also... talk to the sheriff about... searching for Lynn. Why you talking to the great and mighty Lamb today?"

She smiled at him, kissing him again before responding. "Henry had it towed here last night," motioned outside with her thumb. "It's perfectly safe and unharmed out front." Another little kiss and a sigh. "He's got a crush on me or something, stroking his ego will improve my chances of graduating this year instead of next, getting started at the academy early."

She shrugged, fingers and palms still caressing his face, neck and shoulders. "Not even all that sure I want to go but I can't tell Henry that, he'd be so bummed out and he's been so cool about everything what with Mom leaving. ."Trailed off and shrugged. "You need me to get up huh?" Kissed his nose, swung her leg and stood from his lap. "Phone is over there."
