Henn's godfather of sorts had vanished into the ether, but she had a demi-minime to make up for it, which was as close to balance as she was going to get, so that meant that this was both celebration and mourning, and the only thing she could think of to do was make caramel pretzels.

Just at that moment she was in the kitchen, humming to herself as she balanced rolos on top of pretzels on a cookie sheet, head bobbing to whatever music was on her earphones at the moment, she was wearing her skull and crossbones apron and her PJs, she liked being able to wear PJs all day.

	Soren gave Cass a look and started to put spellwater into a measuring cup, handing it over and smiling. "Me too, it's all homey and comfy." They all worked well together, and Soren moved to put on some music, something low and in the background and not distracting. (Reply to this)

	Henn saluted before getting the oil out of the cabinet, head bobbing with the music, smiling, "We really should. Even just for regular dinnerfoods, doesn't have to be a big deal like Thanksgiving or whatever. Anne's probably having her usual shindig again this year." (Reply to this)

"Bless our pirates, they keep us fed," Cass smiled warmly and chuckled under his breath. "Though I'll never try to be Captain Jack ever again. The man was made for drinking, and I've never had such a horrible hangover as the one I suffered after becoming me again." He kissed Soren's cheek and winked. He had a new found appreciation for his bond with Soren, knowing that it indeed was very similar to Bill and Jack's.

	"That's funny, I felt about the same as usual." Soren grinned at his husband, goosing him as payback for the previous groping, beaming and watching. Even though he was still pretty much hopeless in the kitchen, he still tried to watch. Maybe one day it would all sink in, though he didn't hold out much hope. (Reply to this)

	Henn shrugged, "Mine wasn't so bad, then again, I think I spent more time motorboating than I did drinking." She shrugged, "But whatever, we had fun." She smiled crookedly, "Glad Sami was such a good sport about it, actually." (Reply to this)

"Sami was such a doll. Even as Marie Antoinette." He eeped when he was goosed and laughed softly, before holding out a spoon for Soren to taste the broth. "Whenever those onions are ready, Henn, just toss them in the stock, then we can put Soren to work." He decided that the perfect job for Soren was to line the top of the soup bowls with the croutons, because it required no heat and no magic, and deft fingers.

	"She let me grab her even before that, really. We ought to go visit more, I think. I miss all the babies." He sighed wistfully, making a mental note to go back to the Pit to kiss the snakes he missed in particular. Holding his hair back, he tasted the broth, licking his lips and sighing. "Mmmph. I am a happy blond person." (Reply to this)

	not_that_henri 2009-11-07 10:16 am UTC (link)
	Henn laughed, shaking her head, "That's our Sami." She shrugged, giving the onions another stir, just to test how done they were, deciding to give them a few more minutes, just to be sure, "And we should go visit more, or y'know, at all." Once the onions were finished she shuffled them carefully into the stockpot so as not to splash anything. (Reply to this)

"Between babysitting the not-us and all our other routines, I'm sure we could sneak it in eventually. Descend all together upon the Pit and give her a surprise. Thank you, bright eyes." He stole a kiss from Henn while she put the onions in the stock, and then poured the rest of the water that Soren had cast into the measuring cup into the stock, before waiting for it to simmer.

"Now, all we need is someone to grate the cheese. Gorgeous, could you stir the soup while I do that?" He directed at Henn.

	"We're all really busy. I never thought I'd want to be so busy, but I really don't mind at all. And god, I'm going to be traveling soon." He looked dreamyeyed at the idea of touring the world. (Reply to this)

	Henn tossed him a salute before stirring the soup, just slow little figure eights to make sure it didn't stick. She smiled crookedly at Soren, "And I just get to stick around here until ... uh..." She scratched the back of her neck, "Until whenever, I guess. I'll have to remember to ask Charles what sort of hours the legal team keeps when I have my interview." (Reply to this)

"And for once, I'm the one who isn't hectic amounts of busy in comparison. I'll hold down the fort." He started grating the cheese, divvying it into little piles that would easily be put on top of the soup bowls.

It didn't take long at all before all the bowls were done and in the oven, waiting for the cheese to melt and crisp slightly on top, and Cassidy started setting the table, with five places, just because he knew Maison was there as well. He'd even made an extra bowl for him.

	"Hey, you guys get to come with if you want to, it's all approved." He smiled and braided his hair while the soup was in the oven, hopping up on the counter and chuckling. "Seriously, I didn't expect anything like this to ever happen. I wonder if I could bring the dogs." (Reply to this)

	Henn shrugged, "Don't see why not, they're part of the family, aren't they?" She smiled then, putting the pretzels away, adding them to the snack shelf in the pantry, leaving the pans in the sink to soak. She tilted her head then, "Do they travel okay though?" She stuck her tongue out at Cass, "And I'm good with fort-hold-downing too, interview isn't even until December third." (Reply to this)

	"Lies!" He teased Henn, wrapping his arms around her once the table was set, and nibbled her ear. "Who dares go up and potentially face my brother's mid-coitus activities to call them down for dinner? Should we draw straws?" (Reply to this)

	twiceloved 2009-11-07 10:48 am UTC (link)
	"You'd all better come along, every last one of you, for at least part of it. Or I'll be alone with Teja and Gaz, and I'll have to sit quietly." Soren wrinkled his nose. "Ugh. Quiet. We could do rock paper scissors. Or we could just yell." (Reply to this)

	not_that_henri 2009-11-07 10:53 am UTC (link)
	Henn just rolled her eyes at them both, shaking her head, "Chickens, both of you. I'll do it." She detached herself to tromp up the stairs, of course, her way was standing at the top of the stairs and yelling: "Oi! Slutbunnies! Dinner!" While trying her hardest not to laugh. (Reply to this)

	1stbornextreme 2009-11-07 10:56 am UTC (link)
	Cass couldn't help but laugh at Henn's perfect solution to the problem at hand and instead of groping her for the time being, he leaned against Soren and smiled faintly. "Well, s'one way to go about things. Help me put the soup on the table?" He went to do exactly that, then. "And of course, I'll be coming with you to the shows." (Reply to this)

	twiceloved 2009-11-07 10:58 am UTC (link)
	Soren briefly wrapped his arms around Cass and smiled mostly to himself. "Good. I'd miss you too much otherwise." He was quiet, mostly due to contentment, and went to help Cass set the table. Brend came downstairs a few moments later, hair tousseled and clothes wrinkled, but otherwise presentable. (Reply to this)

	not_that_henri 2009-11-07 11:03 am UTC (link)
	Henn returned, smiling cheerily, dusting her hands, "There, was that so hard?" She did laugh, softly, at Brend's arrival, shaking her head and ruffling his hair still further. Maison wasn't far behind, somehow managing to look far less rumpled, but just as thoroughly debauched. (Reply to this)

	1stbornextreme 2009-11-07 11:06 am UTC (link)
	Cass made sure there was also enough breadsticks for the entire family when he brought the red wine to the table and sat down, pouring some for himself and Soren. "So, one Halloween later and we're still all alive. I think that calls for a toast." (Reply to this)

	twiceloved 2009-11-07 11:08 am UTC (link)
	Soren couldn't help but grin at Maison. "You two reading up there? Doin' library stuff?" He chuckled, beeping the other man's nose with a tiny fire spell, mostly because he could, before turning to Cass. "Hear hear. I'm glad we all went as things that weren't icky. Or evil. Or animals." (Reply to this)

	not_that_henri 2009-11-07 11:13 am UTC (link)
	"Mmhmm." Was Maison's response to Soren, smiling crookedly as he sprawled into a chair, "Full body contact bookkeeping, it's dangerous, one of those things that should only be taken on by skilled professionals." Henn grinned at the toast, "Or icky evil animals, and thank Gigi nobody thought it was a good idea to come as Zombie president Lincoln. That would've been messy." (Reply to this)

"I truly feel for Teja, though. Poor man spent all month planning his costume, the first ever, and then wound up turning into it. Probably put him off Halloween altogether." He sipped his wine before starting into his dinner. "I believe, Henn, that your theme this year was a saving grace. If you'd have picked anything else, like 'favorite food', we'd have all been... tacos or foie gras."

(Reply to this)

	"I'll make sure he's feeling okay," Soren offered. "I'll load him up full of half price candy, I'm sure that'll help." He sipped his soup, smiling a little. "I'd be a cute goose!" Brend mostly just blushed and twirled his hair, not wanting to bring up that he hadn't changed at all, due to the not being in costume at the time issue. (Reply to this)
