[From here.]

It is still early in the morning. Piotr put Sunny back in her own bed late last night during one of Kitty's late night moments with Anthony. He convinced her to take the couch in the study so she won't have as much of pain in her neck come morning.

Now, he is cooking breakfast and having a conversation with the very awake Anthony. Who misses Mummy and Daddy, but seems to be entertained for the moment with Piotr's egg flipping and strapped into his bouncy seat.

"Obviously you go against the crowd." She's snickering as she takes a bite. "You're good with him."

[steelartisan]

He smiles again at the baby. "Reminds me a little of Illyana."

[prydeful]

That gets a small smile from her, as she takes another bite.

"Well, those big brother skills are still good, it seems to me."

"Da," is very soft. He has that look he gets when he is contemplating great things.

[prydeful]

Anthony gets that same look when he's got a bottle, really.

Kitty looks down and eats rapidly before standing with her plate and going over to wash it.

"We can--if you want, I mean. Sometime. We can talk about her."

[steelartisan]

It probably involved something naked, anyway. It went away. His face is blank for a moment, and then he smiles.

"Da. Sometime. It has been...a long time. Since I have spoken of her. Thought of her like this."

[prydeful]

"Whenever. We've got time. And--yeah. It's been a while."

She bends over and picks Anthony up, carefully. "Now you can have your bath, since your sister's already clean."

Anthony burbles. Kitty's certain this is how he expresses his enthusiasm for the idea.

[steelartisan]

"...da."

He starts cleaning up so the house is pristine when the parents get back. But he is still smiling.

Now, time to convince Sunny to let him wash off the snake "tattoo".
