"Any god or whatever that likes a human has good taste." Cloudy remarked snarkily, hand releasing Lilya's and curling around his milkshake as he sipped more agressively than he'd like to show. All this talk about Gods spiked his blood pressure. He coughed into his fist and straightened his back. Lilya squeezed his shoulder. She grinned at Iteral and Delano's antics before covering Cloudy's eyes like a parent to their child. He gave a short burst of protest and laughed.

Eunice brushed her hand through one of the large feathers, tracing her fingers over the constellations. "Magic! So that's how you did it! You didn't grow a tail all of a sudden." Her face spread into a broad smile again. "I don't have magic. That's what daddy says! He says I'm just like mom. But mom has a magical glowy baseball bat she locked in the closet. Sometimes it glows green. And it says my name!"

"I have no idea. I can count all happy God relationships on one hand." He put a finger up. "The sun and the moon." Another finger and a nod towards his parents. "The sea and the storms." He put his hand down and then wraps his fingers around Lilya's. "Me and you." She laughed, blush tinting her cheeks.

"Hehehe, yeah!! You fit them perfectly!" Lilya claps slightly at Ambrose's magic. She stretched out her hand, then stopped, looking up at Ambrose. "Can I touch them?" She asked.

"Oh, aww! They kinda sound like prizes!" Lilya smiled when Iteral noticed. Cloudy leaned on her shoulder as she continued. "A reward for living and staying together long enough." "Never heard of them." Cloudy said. "In Godsworld, it's always 'kiss that person to start some drama, kiss that person to hurt feelings, kiss that person for fun'." He waved his hand and enunciated loudly.

"Are you calling other boys stinky?" Eunice giggled. She observed Ambrose's nails and nodded with approval. "I think you'd look good with green!" She said. "But not the uhm the bright green. The more ocean-y green type. You know? Like peacocks. Peacocks are cool."

Lilya snorted at the picture, patting Iteral on the shoulder. "My respect for you has now doubled, Iteral. It would've been fun! A true getting-to-know each other trip!" Cloudy took a bite of his pie. "Sometimes I wonder why I married you." "It's because you love me." Lilya said with a sing songy voice and Cloudy kissed her on the cheek softly. "Yeah. Yeah, I do."

"You're handsome! I can see why girls like you!" Eunice smiled brightly. "Thanks! I did it myself. Pink's really pretty." She took a sip of her milkshake and continued moving her legs back and forth.

"On the house, of course." Cloudy swirled his own. Watermelon, his favorite. "What's wrong with the French? It's the British we should be ruling against." Lilya said with a mock huff and took a bite of a scone. She swallowed before talking again. "They've stolen so many things. There was this one idea I was saying. Cloudy, you've got lightning powers. I've got a ghost in my baseball bat. Iteral, Delano, you can probably join too! Your powers with time will be exceptional to this heist! We go in after nightfall-" "We're not stealing from the British Musuem." Cloudy said, slightly exasperated. It seems they've had this talk more than once.

Eunice giggled and covered her mouth with her hands. Her nails were painted! Striped and pink. "Well, he's not my boyfriend. If he was, daddy would throw him into the sea. He's more of a very nice friend! He has blue hair and he can make things." She blinked at the well off comment, not quite understanding but continued. "Do you have a girlfriend, Ambrose?"

"Oh, that's so cute!" Lilya said with her hands clasped, tucked under her chin. She'd leaned forward while Delano and Iteral were talking. "You sort of rescued him, then?" "It must've been a lovely wedding. Preferably one that wasn't interrupted by arch nemesis." Cloudy said with a smile. The waiter came back carrying a tray. They bowed their head to Iteral and Delano politely before placing down a plate of star shaped scones, a small apple-cinnamon pie topped with ice cream and a few milkshakes of different fruits.

"Yeah! Dad told me about them. He told me about all sorts of trouble the aging thing would get them in." Eunice shrugged, moving her foot back and forth. "We're always moving so it's hard for them to keep up. And my dad's rich and my mom's famous so they get a little uhhh," she thought for a second. "Intimidated! Yeah, that's the word." She went silent for a little bit. "My first friend actually fell from the sky." Eunice said suddenly.

Cloudy looked up at Delano. "Ex? Why the break up?" He glanced between him and Itty. "Oh! Pardon my lack of manners. It's wonderful to meet you, Delano." He smiled and held out his hand. Lilya leaned forward with a grin. "So, how did you guys meet?"

"Is that your grandfather? He doesn't have any white hair." Eunice combed through her hair for emphasis. "I thought um the elderly had lack of color in their hair." She thought a bit at Ambrose's question. "Well... I guess! I meet a lot of kids on the cruise, but I don't really keep them for long, you know?"

"Oh, I do. I love him and his angriness all the same." She gives Iteral's hand a little squeeze before cupping Cloudy's face in her hands and peppering him with kisses. Cloudy kissed her back and grinned. He seemed to be doing that much more often. Back at the cottage, all you would get out of him was a growling scowl (unless he was bothering Scara). "I'm sure I'm boring you with our history lesson." Lilya said to Iteral. "I'd like to hear about your family! How did you meet your husband?"

Eunice laughed and wrapped her arms around Ambrose, only quite reaching to his waist. She pulled away from the hug with bright eyes and a large grin. "That's cool! You know, I think you're the coolest friend I have!"

Cloudy laughed again. "How could I forget? We were so... well, young, I guess. Ooh, and my nail painting phase." He cringed. "I've never touched a single polish bottle since."
"Ah, yes. Those multiversal wars that you disappeared to for years without bothering to even tell me what happened. You know, the girl who saved your life. Multiple times." Lilya gave him a look and he grinned at her. "I'm still salty about it." She said to Iteral. "He came back from the other world and didn't say a thing to me! Nothing! I didn't even know he was alive!" Lilya rolled her eyes and sighed, fanning herself with her hand. "Honestly, if I hadn't dragged his feelings out, he might've been angsty his whole life." Cloudy called the waiter to order and they wrote it down on a notepad, giving a brisk nod before dashing away.

Eunice looked curiously at her hand, then back up to Ambrose. "Pardon me, but what's that supposed to mean?" She asked. She'd never seen anyone who did that before.

Cloudy rolled his eyes affectionately and took the menu back. "Oh, you know, at school." Lilya smiled, dimples showing up on her cheeks. "First day of the summer. Cloudy and I were seated with each other. I thought he was weird and broody, just staring out the window with a deep, deep frown." She waved her hands. "And then the funniest thing happened! Our teacher made us do a group project with our seatmate. And guess who was my seatmate?" Lilya tilted her head towards her husband. "That just gave me an excuse to stick with him for the rest of the year. He hated my guts the whole time."
"I was so stupid back then." Cloudy laughed with a shake of his head, not looking up from the menu.
"I didn't know Cloudy was half a god at that time. I just thought he was a regular angsty, teenage boy! He sure acted like one." She pulled her hair down her eyes and spoke in a comically sharper voice. "You don't know me. You're just a normal girl from school. Nobody will ever understand me."

"Oh! Uh, I have friends!" She held up two of her fingers. "But they've got their own problems with their dads and moms so they aren't around much all the time." Eunice nodded shyly. "Yeahhh, I would like to be your friend! You like stars, too!"

"I think we'd do a better job at it. After all, which ones of us had to deal with humanity, not to mention customer service?" Cloudy waved his finger slightly with a grin. "Not the Gods, no. They'd crumble to dust if they met rush hour." He picked a menu from the stand, holding it up to Iteral. "Do you want to order anything? It's bad to start a conversation on an empty stomach."

Eunice exhaled deeply in relief, waving her hands in front of her chest. "Cool! That's not good, but that's still cool." She clapped twice and then looked up at Ambrose again. "Do you have any friends?" Strange question to ask from an eight year old.

"Still lightning, no longer murder or misfortune." Cloudy waved his hand a bit. "To be honest, I'm not really sure. This whole god thing is... strange. I'm mostly human now. 'Cept for the horns, and the hair, and the lightning." He looked to Eunice and Ambrose, a smile growing on his face. "Eunice got a little more sunshine than lightning. By that I mean, nothing at all. Completely human."

"What!?" She shouted and then lowered her voice to a hused tone. "What do you mean? My granpappy tells me it's still there, in the sky. Stars don't... die immediately like that, right? I mean they die, yes, but not so suddenly!"

"Oh, you know me. I fought a lot. Won a few wars. Uhhh," He rubbed the back of his neck, static springing through his fingers. "Fixed some... issues in Godsworld." Aaliyah chuckled. Unlike her husband, her voice was louder, rolling and thunderous yet elegant like waves against a cliffside. "By issues, he means arrogant gods in need of disposal." She looked youthful for her age: not a single grey hair in sight. Smile lines and crows feet were etched into her warm skin as her hoop earring gleamed in the soft light. Though, most striking of all were her bright blue eyes, contrasting deeply with her skin and hair. "I'd have gotten rid of them myself if Cloudy hadn't rebelled. Imagine that! A blue god, one from the council no less! Dethroning other gods!"
Cloudy grinned sheepishly again and gave Iteral a look. "She's not lying."

"Cassiopeia! The queen! I love how it's shaped like a crown! It's so fun to trace it on the sky." Ambrose was fun! The only other people Eunice talked about astronomy with was her family. But her mom often mixed it with astrology, and her dad was always busy. "My favorite is the Argos! It's made up of three different constellations! I saw it in a tv show but it was so cool and I've always loved it since!" She giggled.

"Heck yeah! A worthy opponent!" Lilya laughed. "I didn't go through all those years of culinary school for nothing!"
"Girls, girls. You're both beautiful." Cloudy grinned, putting an arm around Iteral and hugging her. He crossed his legs and leaned back slightly on his chair. "How've you been, Iteral? You seem happy. That's wonderful! What's been going on with your life?" He bit back the eagerness in his voice, curiosity sweeping into his words instead.

"That'd be awesome! I'd love to go stargazing with you!" Eunice clasped her hands together, a slight spring in her step. "We can roast marshmallows in the pit, too! And we can sleep on pillows and blankets. It'll be so fun!! What's your favorite constellation? You've got to have one, right?"

"Oh, you're so on!" Lilya pulled up her sleeves and held up her arms in challenge. "You may be a Witch, daughter of a Goddess but I am a determined human! I make the best focaccia!" Cloudy sighed dreamily. He smiled a lot more now, face just melting into a gooey grin as he stares at his wife. He didn't seem to hide it either.

"That's so cool!" Eunice started, ducking her head around Ambrose's hands. "Magic tricks are so... engrossing! My dad sometimes has one on his ship. He makes doves out of coins!! And crows out of handkerchiefs! It's so cool." Her eyes lit up even more. Green specks glittered in her amber irises. "No way! I like- I like stars too! I watch them on the bridge sometimes! It's super cool on the sea. No light pollution at all!"

"It's an honor to meet you too, Iteral and Ambrose." Protos chuckled. He sounded like mellow thunder without rain, unassuming yet lingering. He was a tall man whom sat up straight. His straight hair was cropped to his neck, greys and whites threading through his jet black hair. His sideburns reached down to his chin forming into a thin beard. He wore a haori of dark green. When he combed his fingers down his kimono, small sparks sprouted from his fingertips. "Cloudy speaks highly of you. A witch of good humor and lovely baking skills."

"Not as good as mine, though. Right, hubby?" Lilya pinched Cloudy's shoulder as he sat down before kissing him on the cheek. "Why didn't you tell me your sister was so gorgeous? And that your grand-nephew was handsome?"
"Please don't leave me for my grand-nephew." He replied with a smile and she kissed him again, her dark coils bounced on her head as she laughed. She turned her twinkling bronze eyes to Iteral. "What would he do without me, am I right?"

Eunice gasped, then giggled as Iteral shook her hand. Many had done that before, of course. Her father was a businessman after all. But none had been as light and fun-feeling as her aunt's. She thought that Ambrose's name sounded a bit like a weed but decided to be respectful and not comment on that. "Could I ask you? Are you a magician?" She said as politely as she could.

Cloudy laughed along with Iteral, poking her in the stomach with one arm while having the other around his daughter. "Sure has been, Iteral. I've been getting into all sorts of trouble without you. And so have you! I still can't believe you have a grandson! What does that make me? A grand-uncle?" He cleared his throat, patting his daughter's shoulder. She ran back to the table and sat down. "Why don't I introduce you to everyone? Iteral, Ambrose, this is my wife, Lilya and my daughter, Eunice. Those are my parents, Protos and Aaliyah. I..." He turned a darker shade of brown, sheepishly. "I may have brought too many people."

Cloudy's eyebrows raised, glancing from Iteral to Ambrose. "Oh? What did she say?" He opened the door and instantly the sweet aroma of honey tea and crumble cake flooded out. The shoppe itself was fairly simple, rustic in decor. Wooden planks lined the ground, contrasting the phthalo green wallpaper of triangles. The counter sat behind many circular tables and chairs with booths lining the walls and windows. The shop was empty, except for the barista patiently waiting at the counter. Cloudy's family sat in the booth by the sunniest window. An old man and woman sat together, dining through a pie while a small girl and a woman waited patiently. As they entered, the girl's green eyes lit up and she dashed towards her father. "Daddy!"
"Eunice, baby!" Cloudy bent down, kissing her on the forehead. She giggled and hugged him back before peering at Iteral and Ambrose with wide eyes.
"Good afternoon." She smiled cheerily. Seems she inherited her father's manners.

Cloudy blinked for a few moments. "Grandson." He turned his head to Iteral, eyebrows up. "You have a grandson? You've had two generations worth of family, already? That-" He shakes his head adoringly. "You and your time hijinks." Cloudy smiled and took Ambrose's hand, shaking it firmly. "It's grand to meet you, Ambrose. Now, I have a question for you." He spread his hands wide. "Do you like tarts? My wife prefers cupcakes, but I'm a right sucker for fruit." No doubt, Cloudy wasn't young anymore. He wasn't the scrawny kid with bruises dotting his arms, nor the one that cried himself to sleep holding his horns. His eyes glittered green as he lead Iteral and Ambrose to the door. He held himself with confidence, maybe with a sprinkle of suave. Though underneath, he was a bumbling hive of nerves. His mind swirled with the things to say.

Cloudy stared back in wonder before the gears in his head turned. He finally realized the "Iteral!" He shouted loudly and immediately swept her into a hug. He spun around on the sidewalk, holding his sister in his hands with glee like a little child, hugging his cousin at a dinner. "Iteral!" He said again, almost disbelieving before he spotted the other person. He gently let go of Iteral and nodded in acknowledgement. "Good evening, I assume you are my nephew? Iteral, I didn't know you could pull." A childish smile pulled at the side of his mouth.
