[The children get excited when any visitor comes to their home-a commonplace occurrence, given the connections Leone and him have made in Lunatia over the years. Friends, extended 'family'-they warm their home in a way Caesar never thought he'd experience again. The quiet chatter of children, the smell of fresh herbs simmering in sauces, a television blaring some child's entertainment in the background while the adults chatter in the kitchen.
It's nice.
He would never admit it aloud, but this is something he desperately craved. A partner to share his life with-an unexpected twist given how their relationship started. A friends with benefits relationship turned more in, what felt like, the blink of an eye. Falling for Leone had felt so natural he barely realized the shift had occurred.
And now, because of him, he has his large family-one that Mista is part of.
The kids were chattering wildly between Mista and their father for some time, letting Mista know all the finer details of their day with embellished tales. The young girl rambles about fighting pirates with hamon in the bathtub and the older boy talks over her about how they became detectives like papà and the great missing leaf mystery they solved today. A leaf they offer to Mista, but not before Caesar reaches over to rip off one the points to make the four pointed leaf a three pointed one. Mista's weird, but harmless. It's whatever.
Caesar doesn't stop them though-he lets them ramble on and on and on, running his fingers through Lasagna's hair until the kids grow bored with all their adult bullshit, and wander back to the newest episode of Power Paladins.]
You're staying for dinner, aren't you? Leone will be home soon. I'm sure he'll want to catch up with you too.
