29 Chimera Court, Saturday Morning

Well, Liam's age could be measured in the single digits even on weekends where something hadn't happened to cause many of Fandom's residents to wake up as children. That didn't mean that this weekend's weirdness had skipped him, of course. No, the Liam who woke up this morning was actually child-shaped.

Which meant he had regressed to a point where he was still very new to, well, existence. He could tell that something was not-quite-right, but lacked the words to describe just what that was.

What he did know was that he was cold. Which was an easy enough problem to solve, he just pulled the blanket off the chair and wrapped it around his shoulders.

Then there was the strange rumbling sound his stomach was making. That... he didn't know what to do about, exactly. Clearly, some exploration was in order.

Nathan smiled and held out the bowl.

"I'll get you a fork, and you can mix," he replied. "I'll grate the cheese in, and some milk, salt, and pepper, and you can stir until it's all blended up. How's that sound?"

"You can set the bowl on the table and stand on a chair if that helps," Nathan offered. "There's a lot to balance this way, I understand."

Nathan paused to pick the blanket up and drape it over the back of a chair, and then made his way back for the counter to get the milk, salt, and pepper. There wasn't even really any thought behind the gesture; he was used to having children around. Hell, he'd missed it. He'd never had any kids of his own, but he'd been quite ready to step into the father figure role for Taka's sons.

After he'd, uh, killed their actual father.

His life was an interesting place.

"Milk, salt, and pepper," he said as he headed back and measured all three into the bowl. "And I can let you taste the cheese, if you like, and you can tell me how much you'd like in your eggs, if any."

"They've mostly grown up now," Nathan replied, cutting a piece of cheese off at the counter and bringing it over to offer to Liam with a shrug of his shoulders. "But I've known a few, yes. They aren't around here, though."

He missed them. And kind of hoped that time wasn't going terribly fast back home without him.

"Is it that obvious?"

"Lots of cheese," Nathan replied with a little grin. "That, I can do."

Cheese was one of those things he kind of desperately missed while he was in Japan. He had no problems with making these the most cheesy damn scrambled eggs the world had ever seen.

"Plenty of things," Nathan replied, pausing for a moment to think. "Higen learned how to play baseball so that he could teach the other kids, for example."

Once they figured out 'run home,' they had done pretty okay, in fact.

"Generally, yeah," Nathan confirmed, "but it only takes one person to throw a ball around. Two if you don't want to go chasing it all the time."

"Well, you could always get a grown-up to throw the ball with you," Nathan suggested. "Or go meet some other kids. There are probably a few around the island right now."

At least a few, yes.

"That looks pretty good," he added, glancing into the bowl. "Here, I'll take it back to the counter and grate some cheese into it, and then we can cook it up, how does that sound?"

"Lots and lots," Nathan promised, pulling out the grater and starting to shred the cheese into the bowl. "Might as well use the rest of it, we're making plenty after all."
