Gourmet suite at the Arms Hotel, Sunday

[sharp_as_knives]

This was the most crowded Hannibal could recall being in quite some time. There were several children in the master bedroom, one of whom was apparently his, her other father in another bed in his room (yes, thank you, Angela, but they were not a couple here, and you could stop looking at them like that), and Jono's friends on the pull-out couch in the living room.

On the bright side, it was a built-in audience for breakfast. So Hannibal was brewing some excellent coffee while he worked as quietly as possible at cinnamon polenta pancakes, sweet potato & pork belly hash, rosemary grapefruit, thick-cut bacon, and toast from some very good, dense bread he had.

And mimosas for the adults. He had a feeling they still might need a drink.

Natalia watched her new brother walk into the room, not at all worried; Uncle Jono was here! She reached for her uncle's hand.

"Of course I do! Especially when momma doesn't make 'em!! These smell like cimmamon... cingamon..." She frowned and pinched her lip. "Cindimin... sonnymin..."

//Cimmanim,// Jono teased lightly as he let her take his hand, and then led her in toward the table. //Cinnamon. Dr. Lecter has a bit of a gift for making delicious food, I think you're in for a treat, luv.//

"Cinnanon!" Best you were gonna get out of the 8 year old. Sorry.

She clung to his hand happily. "I smelled sweet potatoes, too! That's what woke me up. Momma and poppa an' me are onna vacation, cause I fell through a portal."

//Big fan of sweet potato, luv?// Jono had to admit, he was really quite looking forward to tasting it, himself. He was usually far more bitter about being in the company of this much food, but he was in the company of this much food and this many people who were willing to share. //And you're not the only one here on a weekend vacation, either. Most of the people in here are, now. Anybody who isn't a mum or da.//

"Sweet potatoes are yummy!" She nodded hard. "Even Momma likes them, 'cept she eats her with lots and lots of sugar and mashamellows."

She looked around at all the people. "Are you having a party? Is that why JJ is here?"

[furnaceface]

//A little like a party,// Jono agreed, looking around. //A breakfast party?//

Was that even a thing?

//There are certainly enough people here for it to be one, aren't there?//

"Lots and lots! Like a re-onion!" Natalia nodded, bouncing a little. "We had a re-onion before school and there were lots and lots of cousins and lots of food and music and abuela let me sit on her lap while Papa and Momma danced and we played games!"
