The Grimley's thanks Giving (Invited)

[Craven Grimley]

Craven dipped his finger into the pie mixture just as Maria turned away and plopped it in his mouth and before he could take it out, she’d turned around leaving him frozen with his finger still in his mouth eyes slightly widened, like a naughty child. Craven lowered his eyes and slowly removed his finger from his mouth letting his hands fall into his lap like he’d already been scolded.

”Master Craven...”
She huffed and he smirked watching her take the bowl away before holding out one of his books for him instead. He took the book with both hands and set it back down on the table eyeing her as she went back to making apple pie.

”It’s very good. Maria, I just miss your cooking. That’s all...”
Craven defended as the big Hispanic woman started to mix turkey stuffing in her big bowl. The compliment caused the elder woman to smile affectionately at the boy she helped raise.

”Si, Claro pero esperamos a los invitados, mi nino. Go find your brother. He’s not been down for his breakfast yet.”
Craven rolled his eyes and slipped got up reluctantly just as Henry, their butler entered.
”Maria, the first of the guests have arrived. Mister Grimley should be here in an hour or so. The h'orderves Maria…”
Craven dodged out the way of the bustling younger man and slipped through the Mansion toward the lounge where everyone would be getting together.

He hoped that the first of those guests was Adrianna and he also hoped he didn’t have to go pull Tanner off whatever game Craven was sure he was currently preoccupied with. Gia was somewhere as well, helping her mother no doubt. Maybe she’d be finished by now and would be in the lounge, helping Henry play host to all the invited guests.

Some of them came from a long way away and the guest rooms had been made up. Seattle wasn’t really close to many places in particular. He knew he’d invited a few families. Kaytee, Robbie’s, Dani’s, Thyme’s and of course, Adrianna’s. Romeo had been on his list too and he hoped that Romeo was intelligent enough to realize that Craven had withdrawn that invite completely. He’d have a heart attack if Romeo was in the lounge.

[Adrianna Carstyn]

Adrian was excited to be actually doing something traditional for Thanksgiving. Usually her and her mom would end up doing something random on Thursday, maybe go out for the amazing Chinese restaurant that was just down the street from their house. This was new to her, the whole stuffing, turkey, cranberry sauce or whatever there was. She'd never really had a normal thanksgiving dinner. Ever.

The car pulled up to Craven's mansion and she smiled wider. This would be fun. A good break from her boring life, she'd get to see Craven and Gia together (which was sooo exciting!), and she'd get to see Robbie. She hadn't seen the couple together at all since she found out and she hadn't seen Robbie much lately either. It was going to be a good thanksgiving, one she'd most likely remember.

The worst thing that could happen, would be Cooper freaking out about his son's relationship with the maid and then say that he should be with someone else...like Adrian. That would be bad. Craven had told her once before that Cooper liked her more, though he barely knew her. Then again, she had a feeling it was due to the fact that she wasn't a maid. But Gia was pretty perfect for Craven and she didn't agree with Cooper that her and Crave would be good together. They were too good of friends for that, even if she had thought about it before, she didn't want to risk losing him.

Adrian was wearing a typical outfit for her. A white sundress with imprinted patterns on it and her long brown hair was pulled back in a braid. Not too fancy, but not casual either. Her shoes clapped against the stairs as she walked up and right before she knocked, the butler answered. She smiled and waved at him as he stepped aside letting her in. The lobby was empty, which meant she had been the first one to arrive. Oh goody. She looked around and waited for someone that she recognized.

[Craven Grimley]

”Oh you must be Miss Carstyn. I recognize you from some of the pictures you see. Right this way. Master Craven is entertaining the rest of the guests in the Lounge.”
The butler shot a glare up the grand staircase which was most likely meant for the slacker of the two Grimley brothers, Tanner who’d not shown his face all day.

They entered a long hallway that lead toward the lounge and the butler spoke across his shoulder as they walked.
”Master Craven talks about you all the time. Mostly to our head chef, Maria. Don’t be shy now. Ooo you might need a coat my dear. It’s rather nippy out there. They say the storm won’t clear up any time soon and I’m almost certain master Craven will be taking you to his aviary. ”
The talking ceased when they arrived at the entrance of the doorway to the lounge where Craven was reluctantly holding his five month old nephew.

Craven quirked an eyebrow at Gabriel then glanced over his shoulder at Adrianna before flashing her a warm smile. He held the baby out to Gabriel again allowing his uncles to settle the baby for a nap before dinner was served and explained that he’d be back later. Craven made his way to Adrianna and took her in his arms hugging her tight.

”You made it. You look beautiful.”
Craven pulled back and took her hand, raising it up a bit.
”Give me a twirl.”
He offered. He knew that Adrianna was from the warmer side of the states where it wasn’t pouring it down all the time like it was up here in Seattle.

What he was even more surprised about was that Adrianna wasn’t wet at all. Adrianna was always perfect. Well, until food fights in cafeterias happened.
”Tanner’s in his room I think. My dad’s plane JUST about landed and Gia’s helping her mom finish up the last bits before she joins us. But, its up to you. What do you wanna do?”

Craven glanced out the glass windows half frowning at it before he held out his hand. Jet, who’d been settled on a chair by the fireplace, came swooping in to land on Craven’s shoulder and his eyes met Dilan’s, a small smirk on his face before he glanced back to Adrianna.

[Adrianna Carstyn]

Adrianna smiled at the butler and nodded slightly. She only really started focusing when she came into a room full of people. She locked eyes with Craven holding a small baby and she smiled back at him. When he walked over to her his arms wrapped around her and she hugged him back. Ever since their most recent discussion about her problems with men, it seemed as if they were getting closer. He'd already exceeded Robbie in the best friend role.

She kissed his cheek and pulled back. She rolled her eyes and laughed as she twirled, "Thanks Crave, you look pretty good yourself. But I think the baby totally beats you at the cuteness thing." She stuck her tongue out and laughed again.

Adrian looked around before he started talking again. "Figures, is he planning on making an appearance at all or is he going to stay locked up in his room all day?" She asked with an eye roll. "Um, we can do whatever. You know, I've never really seen your house so if you want to show me around, that'd be cool." She suggested with a shrug.

"Maybe we can even drag Tanner out by his ear," She smirked at the idea. Tanner would definitely not like that too much.

[Craven Grimley]

Ah, Adrianna made everything feel right again. It was very much a feeling he could not beat. He adored her company and he kinda felt like he wasn’t naked anymore with her around him. He had to smirk when she rolled her eyes and he stuffed his hands into his black jacket pockets as he watched her twirl then when she mentioned the baby, he glanced back to Gabriel who was about to change the little thing.

”Her name is Rose. That was my mother’s name. My uncle and his husband adopted her. This is her first thanks giving.”
Craven smiled softly at the baby then flicked his eyes to Dilan again.
”My uncle found a metahuman as her mother and we’re hoping she had some power. It would make her fit into the family quite nicely. ”
Craven shot Adrianna a grin before taking her hand and intertwining their fingers.

”Where’s your mom? She didn’t come? And do you want a cup of the very first batch of eggnog cause I know where we can get some. Maria says there’s not just a day for eggnog. There’s a whole season and this is it.”
Craven quirked an eyebrow as if this news was the best he could ever convey to her at all. He was super excited about the whole thing of course.

A whole Month of Maria’s eggnog was what Christmas was all about. He’d go back to Hammel reluctantly, that was for certain.
”As for Tanner, I don’t much care. He can do what he wants. He’s never able to do so anyway so dragging him out by his ear… nuh uh. When dad arrives we’ll have to be perfectly presentable to everyone showing up so we’ll be back to being soldiers. I guess we’ll let him be for now. ”
Craven said softly glancing from her to the stairway as he lead her past it and toward the kitchen.

[Thyme Ersilia]

“Ty, are you sure this is where Craven lives?”

Sage was gaping at the giant, elegant mansion before them. Thyme looked down at the piece of paper with the directions he had been given and nodded. Craven had invited them both to a fancy, traditional Thanksgiving dinner, and Ty was not one to deny food. Sage seemed more excited about exploring the home, but he was also looking forward to the desserts later.

“Yep. This is his place. Almost forgot how rich he is”

Both of the boys wore nice black suits with white button-down shirts and ties of their favorite colors; Sage wearing green and Thyme wearing blue. They headed towards the front door together in high anticipation as they smelled the aroma of good food seeping through to the outside. Their mouths watered, and Ty asserted his way to the door, gently knocking. Only moments passed before they were greeted by a servant, and they were relieved to finally be inside the warm, pleasant smelling building.

“Wowww”

Sage spun around, staring at all the décor before wandering off in exploration and introducing himself to whoever he ran into. Thyme rolled his eyes at cousin and instead went searching for Craven.

[Robbie Wilkes]

There hadn't been any time to mope at Craven's mansion.

That's right, no hating haters, he was spending a holiday in a freaking palace. There hadn't been a dispute with his parents where he would spend his holidays as long as it didn't come out from his parent's pocket. After saying goodbye to his younger siblings and promising that he would come back for Joel's birthday, Robbie had packed a small duffel bag and set off to Seattle with Craven.

To a freaking palace.

Robbie knew the dude was rich but he did not fathom this wealth. He was used to it, being around Zac, but it didn't mean he couldn't be surprised at how his entire house could fit in a bathroom.

The fact that there weren't any parents around was pretty sweet too. Robbie lazed around a lot, did a bit of swimming, went to the in-house gym and played lazer tag with Craven and Tanner. But mostly lazed around. At least he didn't dampen the mood by moaning about Dani's absence. He supposed he saw it coming. Things just don't last. Dani was too good to be true. Yada, yada, yada. He knew the spiel. He just didn't understand why he fell for it twice.

That didn't matter. Shouldn't matter. He had people serving him, pressing his underwear and helping him down the stairs [too much of an exaggeration, really]. He could get used to it.

Thanksgiving dinner was a big thing, apparently. And hearing that some of his Hammel buddies were going to show up was pretty sweet. So Robbie had dressed up nicely in a dark blue sleeveless tank that hugged him well over a blue and white checkered shirt with the sleeves rolled up and a pair of clean jeans.

He looked good.

He made his way through the house and bumped into Craven's uncle with his baby and cooed over the tiny bundle before catching Adrianna in his peripheral vision. "Aid!" He bounded over to the pair and threw his arm around the girl's shoulder, pulling her close. "What's up mama? Hiyuh C."

[Adrianna Carstyn]

Adrianna smiled wider when she heard him talking about the baby. It was adorable to say the least. "She's beautiful, as I'm sure your mom was. Just wait until she's our age though, they're gonna have their hands full with that one." She laughed softly and looked back at Craven. It always struck her when he mentioned his mom. She couldn't imagine what it would be like if Amelia died, though she was close to finding out.

He took her hand and she leaned into him. It was so natural for her. Being close to him was easier than being close to anyone else. It was just easy and it felt nice having someone she was close to. Besides her mother of course. She chewed on her lower lip and looked down, "She's in California, at the hospital. She started having a few problems with the meds she was taking, so they have to change them." Her voice softened and she shook her head slightly trying to cheer back up.

"Eggnog sounds famazing right now! I haven't had any in a few years actually." Adrian said with surprise at how long it had been. She looked up at the staircase and nodded. Okay, she'd let Tanner have his free time, but as soon as he was socializing, she was going to bug him to no end!

The next voice she heard was familiar and as she turned a smile lit her face again, "Robbie!" She hugged him and kissed his cheek, "How are you? We haven't hung out in like forever." Exaggeration, yes, but still it had been a long time. She pulled back from him and stepped closer to Craven again. It wasn't intentional, she did it without thinking. It was weird how she'd gone from Robbie being her number one guy to talk to, to Craven being her support system. But either way, she had them both and they were both great guys to have.

"I'm officially happy. I've got my two favorite guys here now," She smiled. Cheesy, but true.

[Gia Elliot]

Gia didn't want to admit it, but her mom was definitely getting sicker. It was evident in the hug alone when Gia had gotten home with Craven. It wasn't as tight as it had been, and the older woman looked tired. The problem was, if Gia admitted to herself that she was sick, Gia wouldn't go back to school. She wanted to go back, Craven wanted her to go back, and her mother wanted her to go back, but Gia wasn't going to let her mother work herself to death now, when Gia could just as easily hang around to help out. Or, in fact, to take over the duties. At least Gia could work for her for the holiday. That did mean she would get less time with Craven than she wanted though. Perfect for Mr. Grimley though.

The lifting, the cleaning and polishing were done the night before, and Gia had enlisted a few of the male servants to help with the heaviest things, while her mother supervised. Her grip was going and her muscles were significantly weaker than before, despite their constant use. Gia's eye would definitely be on her the entire holiday. There were a few last minute piece to polish, including about half of the silverware, and Gia had awoken early to get that done. She'd started on the floor of the kitchen, but when Maria had come down to actually start cooking, and was worried about the fumes from the silver polish, Gia had moved everything outdoors.

It was around noon when that was finished, and she'd moved to do last minute dusting and to set the table. That was something her mother could help her with. Give her at least some task to feed her pride. So much of it had already been taken from her, having to turn herself into a servant, a maid for a huge palace. Gia took a deep breath before handing her a few of the plates to put out, grabbing the now reflective forks, knifes and spoons and laying them out. Smallest to largest, with the dessert utensils last. A few mix ups left the last spot missing one of the middle forks, and Gia enlisted her mother to find that as well.

Ten minutes past before it was located and returned to it's spot, and Gia went to place the carving knife at the head of the table, and then to shower and change. It really wouldn't do to present herself to the guests dressed in clothes that were now stained in polish. Only after she emerged from the steam and changed into a nice dress and put her hair up, did she move into the entrance hall to see who all had arrived. A boy who was looking around in awe bumped her and she smiled a little. "Hello. Welcome to Grimley Manor. I think everyone is this way though" She wanted to lead him toward everyone, rather than give a tour of the huge house to speed up how long it would take to actually get to see Craven. So, she did.

Gia pointed toward the large room where guests had been shown all morning to wait, and where she assumed they still were, and touched the boy's elbow softly as she walked toward and through the large double doors. She smiled as she saw Craven looking at the baby, and watched as the guests mingled, most of whom she had seen and maybe interacted with a bit, but didn't know nearly as well as Craven did. Eventually, she released Sage's arm and walked over to the rest of the group as well, smiling, but saying nothing.

[Craven Grimley]

Craven gave a little laugh when he heard what Adrianna said about the baby and shrugged.
”I honestly don’t doubt that in the slightest and it will be hilarious seeing Gabriel fuss over her. He’s more fussy then Dilan. Dilan’s all laid back and chilled. ”
Dilan got wings and could fly away whenever he wanted to so no wonder Dilan was chilled about babies and life in general.

Craven wished he’d gotten wings instead of animal communication… which reminded him…
”What happens when you touch someone who has wings? Do you get them to or just flight?”
Craven questioned stuffing his free hand in his pocket. He had to make sure that she was safe from Dilan then cause Dilan was in agony when his wings extended from his back.

He didn’t want that to happen to Adrianna. Not when he was planning for her to have a good time instead. He could see that Amelia was getting more sick and he was worried about Adrianna. What if she lost Amelia? He was too young to remember what it felt like to lose his mom. She’d been there one day and then just gone the next. He’d not really been old enough to understand.

Despite not knowing, he’d be there now if he’d known that Gia was facing the same thing with her mother he’d have been pretty sure Gia and Adrianna would fit together like a glove. Craven frowned deeply when he heard what Adrianna had to say about her mother.
”Oh I’m sorry Adri. I’m so sorry.”
He gave her hand a little squeeze and sighed softly lowering his eyes to the ground quickly.

He didn’t know what to say or how to deal with this situation to be perfectly honest. Then she mentioned how amazing Eggnog would be and he smiled at her. Craven was about to move to get them eggnog when Robbie made his appearance, finally. He’d have thought that the other boy would be in bed curled up happily still after the late night they’d had playing Kinetic.

Craven watched the two interact. Yeah, it wasn’t a very happy time for any of them. They all seemed to be having issues. His problems with Romeo seems nothing in comparison to Robbie loosing Dani and Adri’s mom being ill but they all seemed determined to have a good time with it all. They were in the right place as well. There was tons to do here.

There’d never been a lack of things to do for the Grimley brothers and there were many servants to annoy if that had been their wish which it had often been. Craven gave a little laugh when he heard what Adrianna had said then caught Thyme lurking about the lounge for a moment so he turned and waved Ty over.
”Hey, where’s Sage? I thought you were both turning up?”
Craven commented when Thyme reached them then his eyes flashed to Gia and Sage coming closer finally and his face lit up when he saw her.

Despite being on the other side of the group to where Gia had arrived with Sage, Craven and Gia naturally drew to one another like two opposite poles of a magnet.
~Can I request me time now? I’ve missed you enough. Stay with me, baby?~
The thought was blatantly at the forefront of his mind so she could pick up on it as he cupped her face in his hands for a moment looking into her eyes.

Once he was sure she’d read his thought he turned to Sage, dropping his hands from Gia’s face and took her hand in his turning to the group.
”Sage, Thyme? This is Robbie, Adrianna and of course Gia.”
Introducing the tiny group to one another, his eyes met Gia’s and he lifted her hand to kiss it since neither his father or Tanner were in sight right now.

Another reason he wanted Tanner to stay in his room as long as possible.
”Let’s go to my room. We can get drinks brought up and then decide what to do if you guys want.”
Craven said to the group before turning and tugging at Gia’s hand to lead her up the stairs.
”You tired, love? I could have helped you know? You’re mom just kept ushering me away and I kinda felt useless.”
He whispered to Gia watching her with a worried expression. She should have been cleaning. She should have been there having fun with them. With him and Robbie and Tanner.

Jet finally took off from his shoulder where she’d been sat and flew ahead of the group toward Craven’s room.

[Sage Ersilia]

Sage felt a little embarrassed when he bumped into Gia. He really needed to stop spacing out so much and focus on what was in front of him. However, after getting a closer look at her face, he smiled and held out his hand to her.

“I’m Sage. Nice to meet you"

The girl pointed in the direction where everyone else was gathering, and he nodded before following her to the large, spacious, and well decorated room. Thyme was located amongst them, chatting away with Craven as the brunette found him lurking around. His blue-green eyes glanced to Sage, and he nodded in his direction before looking back to Craven.

“He’s over there. He’s being an airhead again. Sorry”

Sage laughed at Ty’s comment, ignoring the insult and moved to stand beside his cousin. The two faced the people they were being introduced to, Sage nodding politely and Ty giving a slight wave to say hello.

“It’s nice to meet you all"

Sage's emerald eyes turned immediately to Gia upon her introduction, he briefly lit up with excitement.

"You're Gia? I think we're going to be rooming together soon, starting after the break”

Sage smiled and was a bit shy as he looked down to the floor, staying close to Thyme. At least he felt a little better now about the new upcoming rooming situation. Ty smirked at Adrianna and Robbie, admiring both of their appearances while his older, much shyer cousin seemed to be almost intimidated. Why was it that Craven had such good looking friends? Well, at least this night would be fun. Craven seemed ready to get started when he offered them all some privacy from the rest of the household and drinks to lighten the mood. Introductions were always a bit awkward, but at least they all had things in common.

[Robbie Wilkes]

"Augh. Forever!" He accepted the brunette's kiss and didn't even notice how the girl moved away. Not for lack of care but Robbie was just never that observant...still. Maybe that was why he lost Dani.

"Well hey now," Robbie feigned offence at Adrianna's words. "Two of your fave guys? Come on, Aid...I should be your only favourite!" He gave Adrianna his best puppy face, nudging Craven away teasingly at the same time.

Turning to the two guys at the introduction, Robbie grinned widely at the two blond guys. "Sup." He nodded to both of them before wriggling his eyebrows at Craven and Gia when they pulled away from the group. "So hey you two look familiar. You're from Hammel right?" He turned back to the blonde dudes, eyeing them both up and down, appreciating what he saw.

[Adrianna Carstyn]

Adrianna shrugged slightly, "I don't know exactly how the whole wings thing happens. I've never encountered someone with wings before so, I really have no clue." She said softly. Adrian felt the power he was talking about, assuming that was the reason he'd brought it up in the first place. It made sense. She really didn't know if the wings would tear out of her back or if she'd just be able to fly randomly. It was interesting though and she wanted to try it.

When the subject turned back to her mom she looked down, "It's whatever I guess. I'm going to have to deal with it when the time comes, I can't really do anything now." She frowned at her helplessness and was happy for a change of subject.

Robbie was always good at lightening up her gloom. It was why she'd been drawn to him in the first place. Despite how bad things got, he always made her laugh and momentarily forget about the other things. She laughed at him and made a sad face, "Aw Robbie." She hugged him again and whispered in his ear, "You'll always be my favorite, just don't tell Crave." She giggled as she pulled away and smiled brightly. She'd missed being with both of them at the same time, it just made everything better.

Adrianna smiled wider when Gia joined the group followed by a blond boy that was related to the other boy she didn't know. "Hi Gia!" She exclaimed, happy that she'd be able to join them, even if it was for a little while. "Oh and hiya to you two as well." She waved half-heartedly and kept her focus off of the couple. Adri liked that they were together, and damn were the a cute couple, but she still felt extremely guilty about everything. She'd covered for Craven and now he had to fake a relationship with her, which must suck when you have a model type girlfriend already there.

[Gia Elliot]

Gia too brightened when she saw Craven, and her steps quickened till she was next to him in the circle, hand reaching to hold his subconsciously. The words in his mind filtered into her mind and she smiled, nodding slightly toward him as she was introduced to the few people she didn't already know. Sure, generally she didn't know them well, but Craven did, and she had made it a point to at least know who was whom. She blushed softly an glanced to the floor as he kissed her hands, but shoved the color from her face at the barrage of welcomes and hellos. First Adrianna and then Sage, apparently the name of the boy she'd escorted into the grand hall.

"Hello to you too Adrianna, and hi Sage. Yes, I'm Gia, and it's nice to meet you. Especially if we're going to be rooming together." A sweet smile at all four of the people before she glanced back down at the hand that had been kissed, releasing it briefly from Craven's hand to caress Jet's beautiful black feathers before she decided to take off. That done, she returned her hand to it's prior place and squeezed softly. To Craven's room. That certainly sounded like a good time, and it wouldn't be for cleaning. boy, was she ever grateful she had done most of the work the day before.

She did have to stifle a yawn by swallowing it. Up at the crack of dawn did not make for a restful slumber, but Gia would manage. She always managed, just like her mother did. She did however clear her throat at the mention of having the drinks brought up. It wasn't a difficult job bringing one drink up to the family quarters, but with six drinks being ordered, there weren't enough hands for one person to carry that many glasses, and most of the kitchen staff were finishing the feast that was the Thanksgiving meal. "Or we could get them from the kitchen ourselves?" She didn't want to argue, and her voice was soft, unsure about questioning him in his house.

She shook her head softly, smiling at him at the suggestion that he could have helped earlier. Of course her mother chased him off. He had guests. His job was to entertain them. If Craven had been helping Gia, for one thing, the job might not have been finished, and for another, a busy staff member would have had the added task of keeping Robbie and Ardrianna and Sage and Thyme busy. "Don't be silly. I'm okay. You had your own job to do." She smiled at him and leaned closer. "Besides, it got done already. I'm free till clean up."

[Craven Grimley]

Craven gave a little laugh at Sage being called an airhead.
"It's okay. I'm an airhead too. Me and Sage need to get together to start the airhead club... we can be the Meta alliance's sidekicks."
It was all he ever heard these days in his dorm room, with Max being the leader of the group that she'd started. Craven smirked and let his eyes glaze over Sage for a brief moment knowing that Gia had found him lurking about and that Gia was already acting the part of the woman of the house.

Damn she'd make a good wife. Craven raised an eyebrow at the fact that his girl and Thyme's cousins were roomies. He nodded at the two of them, eyes fixed on Thyme.
"See? Seven degrees of separation. What do I keep telling you? "
Craven exclaimed. Craven watched as Thyme blatantly checked out Robbie smirking a bit but when it came to Adrianna getting checked out by Thyme his smirk faded. Thyme would be good to her right? If anything were to ever happen, Thyme would be good to her...

Craven stopped halfway up the stairs and turned to Gia when she mentioned getting the drinks themselves.
"Hands up, who wants to take on a grouch hispanic FEMALE chef the size of four of me, a thick wooden spoon in hand and tension in the air around her because she's trying to make the perfect turkey for about twenty guests coming..."
Craven didn't give Gia time to get in any numbers and he kept his eyes solely on her as he asked the question.

Craven quickly hugged her and kissed her cheek then held her shoulders at arms length.
"I'll never forget you, baby. You be brave when you face that woman and make sure she doesn't get you in the face when she starts clobbering. You have such a pretty face..."
Craven said in a melodramatic tone of voice before releasing her and holding his hand out toward where the kitchen was.
"Me an Robbie know already to stay out of that kitchen when Maria is cooking. "
Craven started up the stairs again hoping the rest would follow him.

He had NO intention of getting screamed at to leave the kitchen again...
