Violet led the other girl down the stairs and into the control center. She hopped up into Carol's lap and probably was the only kid who could get away with it....Carol let out an 'oomph' and looked down at the young girl with and amused smirk. "What's up, shortie?" She asked her, having a rare break in communications.

"Dinner is ready! Well...the kid dinner is ready but you know its usually a lot better!!" She told her with a nod, "Mira said to come down and get y'all!! You too Damien!!"

Carol, surprisingly enough, let out something eerily similar to a laugh, "Oh, and what is on the menu?" She asked, tilting her head a bit.

"Chicken fried steak, mac and cheese and I think I saw her pull out corn too...." she said, wrinkling her nose at the last part.

Mira laughed a little, "Once you get a taste of true southern cooking you'll never go back...." she teased him with a wink, also adding some corn into the mac and cheese. The kids never noticed it and it made it so much easier to get them to eat the veggies. She gave him a warm smile as she split the mixture into two dishes and spread the crackers and some extra cheese shreds on top. "Its not you, doll...she's a very troubled young woman. She only speaks to a handful of people...everyone else gets a similar reaction to the one you received. We've made some progress but its slow..." she admitted with a small shrug, slipping the two dishes into the oven. She leaned back against the now closed oven with a sigh, running a hand over her forehead and leaving some flower in its wake. It was obvious she wasnt used to doing the cooking on her own.

Caelynne let Violet get Carol as the girl sort of made a wide berth around her as she walked over to Damien. He was concentrating so much on whatever he was typing away on the computer screen for, that when she tugged on his sleeve, he jumped. Looking over, he let out a breath.

"Hey, Cay. What you need, sis?" he asked her with a smile.

"Dinner's ready." Caelynne told him quietly.

"I'll head up shortly." he promised her as she made a face.

"That means an hour or more for you." she told him.

"Cay, I'm busy." he pointed out gently to her.

"But you need to eat." she said and he sighed as he ran his fingers through his dark hair. "I need to get this logistics report, and work on fixing one of the pieces of equipment that some dumbass broke." he explained as she frowned. She looked like she was going to cry and he hated it. If anything made him crumble fast it was that.

"You need to take care of yourself." she said as he saw the water well up and he immediately shot his hands up.

"Okay okay. I'll head up to have dinner with you. Please don't cry." he begged as she sniffled and nodded. Sighing again, he quickly finished up what he was typing as he took his head set off.

"Come on." he wrapped his arm around her shoulders. "What are we having for dinner?" he asked her with a smile.

"Country fried steak. Mac and Cheese." she told him as he smiled.

"It's your favourite, isn't it?" he asked as she nodded and sent him a small, ghost of a smile back.


"That scares me. When I finally have to head home, there will be no way for me to get Southern cooking." Ren teased as he watched her finish the preparations for the food, his stomach eating itself it was so hungry. When she explained about the other girl, he nodded, feeling a little better that it wasn't neccessarily his fault. "Are there a lot of people around here like her?" he asked curiously, lips twitching into a smile as he saw her wipe flour onto her forehead. Grabbing a nearby towel, he held it out to her as an offering when she looked his way again.

Rocky, uprooted from his original spot let out a huff and moved to Cay's other side. After a few minutes of coaxing Carol rerouted the calls and followed Violet out of the room as well. "You excited for tomorrow night, shortie?"

She nodded, "Yeah...kiki needs to come home like yesterday!!" She said, to which the amused smirk returned to Carol's lips. She couldn't help but feel a bit excited for Damien, Daniel and Keira to return as well.

Mira shrugged, smiling as she took the towel from him, wiping everything but her forehead since she never realised she'd done it. "Not anymore...we get a lot of introverted kids when they first come in. Our other case comparable to Caelynne is a young girl, age 5, named Sam. Her family was ripped away in a raid while she was hiding under the bed.....Jeremy found her. Took us a good few days to even get us to eat. She's better now...at least she's made a few friends with the other girls." She explained, but there was a small smile on her lips. "Its hard for them...I think some of the older boys have some separation issues but of course they wont admit it." She gave a small shrug. Her and Liz usually took care of the more specified kids, Liz had taken over with Sam when Cay had shown up on the door.

"You uhh... missed a spot." Ren smiled as he pointed to her forehead. He listened as she talked about the kids and different cases. He had heard stories, but things were different on the Res than outside of it. Mutants were much more rare, but they were celebrated. Not feared and hated. To see them help with the kids, it assured him to know that he was doing the right thing. Unlike his elders, he had a different opinion. It was time for them to stop hiding. They needed to step up and defend themselves. It was only going to get worst if they didn't.


Caelynne appeared with Damien soon after as they moved through the kitchen to get to the living room. "Hey Mira. New guy." Damien nodded his head to them, giving a small smile to Mira.

Mira frowned and wiped at her forehead, "Damn stuff gets everywhere...."! She laughed, looking up as the others walked in. "So our techie trolls did emerge from their lair..." She mused as Carol an Violet walked in. "Y'all can help yourselves to a steak...Mac and cheese will be out in a moment." She pointed her towel at Damien then. "I better see that plate clear. Youre already too damn skinny I don't need you dissapearing--Carol keep the trap closed."

Carol simply snickered instead, helping Violet pick out a steak before heading over to the table. Mira went over to the fridge as everyone grabbed their stuff together, grabbing some condiments and drinks, setting them down on the table.

"Mira!! Youve got to eat too!!" Violet insisted with a puppy dog pout as she cut up her steak.

Mira laughed, "I will, sugar...just let me grab the Mac and cheese. If y'all need anything please let me know..." she added with a smile as she returned to the oven.

Damien made a face as Mira pointed specifically at him. He looked at the size of the steaks and wanted to groan. Between that and the mac-n-cheese, he was having serious doubts of finishing it all. He never was a big eater, but he ate even less than he used to.

Caelynne smiled as Mira picked on her brother before grabbing two plates. One for Damien and one for her as she grabbed her food, and made sure Damien grabbed some too. Ren was right behind them, his stomach driving him crazy.

Once they were all sitting at the table, Ren took a bite with a groan. "This is amazing. How am I supposed to go back to Res food after this?" he asked as he took another bite. It was so different from the food he usually ate. It was amazing. Maybe he would have to introduce it and call for changes. Get a whole freaking cook book on this so called Southern cooking.

Mira laughed at Ren's outburst, "Stick with me, doll, and you'll be able to cook it yourself from memory..." she teased as she pulled the Mac and cheese out of the oven. As if on cue a young girl peeked her head in the door as Mira doled out the cheesey dish. Her almond shapes light blue eyes glanced warily around the room until they found Cay, Mira and Violet. A small smile appeared on her face as Voilet waved to the young girl. Mira looked up and, after serving everyone else, set the Mac and cheese back on the counter and smiled at the young girl. "Hey Sammy....what's up?" she asked sweetly, squatting so she was the young girl's height.

"C--can I eat with you guys?" she asked, her voice loud enough for the others to hear easily but it was still delicate and shaky. She fidgeted with the hem of her orange jumper, glancing warily at the new man at the table but instead of hiding she gave him a small smile before looking back to Mira.

"Sure...but why? You that hungry?" She teased the girl lightly, poking her belly and getting a nearly silent giggle in return and the girl went back to fidgeting.

"Adam was picking on me again..." Samantha admited, her lip quivering a little but she took a deep breath as Mira scooped her up easily.

"And what do I always say?"

"Be an orange not a grape. Have thick skin." Sam smiled a little as she recited it from memory.

Mira grinned with a nod, bopping her lightly on the nose, "Exactly. Don't worry...I'll deal with the stinky boys later...right now let's get you food. You're gonna share with me? Right? I mean I can't finish it all by myself!!" she explained, dramatically gesturing to the plate of food she'd gotten herself. In all fairness she could've easily finished it but she usually ended up sharing with Sam or one of the other young kids or even not eating at all. She gave a goofy grin and a dramatic sigh as Samantha agreed, heading over to the table and setting the plate between them as she cut up the steak. "So....I know Ren liked it...how about everyone else?" she asked as Sam quietly took a spoonful of Mac and cheese. Samantha had come to them about a year ago and it was amazing the progress they'd made with her and other kids like her.

Caelynne picked her head up a little as Samantha joined them, a tiny smile on her face as she gave a small wave to the little girl before turning back to her food. Between her and Ren there was a curtain of her hair, and Damien, who was slowly eating his food.

He pushed the food around with his fork, not because it was bad, but because he wasn't that hungry. He smiled as Samantha came in before eating a bit of his steak. "It's good, Mira. Of course what's new?" he asked with a smile. "It's why I like living in the South. You women are amazing cooks." he teased her. Looking at the group at the dinner table, it looked like it was going to be up to him and Mira to keep the conversation going.

Caelynne nodded at Mira as she ate her food silently. It was just as good as she remembered, if not better. She peaked over at Sam again, glad to see the girl was eating. She just had to make sure that Mira didn't let the girl eat all of it and that she got something to eat as well. She was just as bad as Damien about not eating.

((Gah! Now I'm seriously craving Country Fried Steak :/ ))

Mira laughed, taking a bite of her steak before looking to Ren with a teasing smirk, " There you go, sunshine...just find a nice southern woman to take back home with you!!" She grinned before looking back to Damien as he pushed the food around his plate, "Damien you know I am not above treating you like any of my other picky eaters and making you stay until you finish at least 3/4 of your plate..." She teased but she'd done it in the past, and Damien hadn't been the only "adult" one sitting there.

Violet and Sam giggled, the blond one speaking up then, "You know how she is..." she laughed as she happily continued to eat her dinner. "You don't finish dinner you won't get a brownie later and you know you don't want to miss a batch of Mira's brownies!!" she added with a knowing nod.

((*falls over and dies* Riddles, why is he gay? :( This breaks my heart! </3 ))

Ren laughed as he shook his head. "That... would be interesting." he admitted, imagining bringing home a girl to the elders that wasn't a full-blooded Navajo. If they hated him now...

Damien looked up with a frown at Mira's words. "Miraaaaaaaaaaa." he groaned as he heard an almost silent giggle next to him. Turning his head, once he saw past through her curtain of hair, he could see Caelynne holding her hand over her mouth, looking like she was trying not to laugh. It made this almost worth it. Ah hell, it made getting scolded like a kid totally worth it.

He looked over as Violet spoke up, and grinned at the kid. "She's making brownies, huh? Which ones? Because you know... it might just make killing my stomach worth it." he winked playfully at the girl. Looking over at Mira, he pointedly made sure he was facing her as he took an exagerrated bite of his food.


((http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z-E66Y9EBDE&feature=relmfu How can you see this and not laugh? xD ))
