She ignores the prodding by Rayla as she sighs over Kathy's unruly laughter, "Look, I can't trust you after saying your hobby is killing people. You can't blame me for that."

Kathy keeps laughing, “Ayo! perfect!” He chuckles, popping a marshmallow in his mouth.

Phoenix frowns at Kathy casually roasting marshmallows and Rayla prodding Danica, heedless of any discomfort it might be causing the flaming girl. After a moment of which the antics didn't stop, he stood.
"Hey, did you guys think to ask before getting up in her personal space?" the young man said, taking a step forward as though to step between Danica and the other two.

Kathy shrugs, “Im all about it, thats why I’m not actually doing anything, Bucko.”

Rayla's cheeks turn an orangish-purple color as she steps back and clears her throat.

"Erm- right, sorry." she says belatedly.

Phoenix nods, his expression still firm, but not hostile. Absently, he brushes crimson bangs out of his eyes as he slowly sits back down next to Nikki.
"I'm not trying to pick a fight," he says, aiming the comment at Kathy, "I'm just saying; let's keep things civil."

Danica gives a grateful glance at Pheonix before her flames fizzle out. She checks herself to make sure she's no longer on fire before she claps her hands together.
"Right. So, anyone else have anything to share about themselves before I go get snacks? Since marshmallows were mentioned and summoned, I assume some of us are hungry."

Kathy chuckles, “I just haven’t had lunch yet-“ he pops another marshmallow in his mouth.

At the mention of food, Phoenix's stomach growls. He grimaces; he didn't realize he hadn't eaten in a while.
"I like chicken," he commented tentatively.

"Chicken…" Danica looks thoughtful, "I might have some dino nuggets in the freezer…."

Phoenix stared at Danica, nonplussed.
"What in Sheodor are dino nuggets?" he blurted out, "And what do they have anything to do with chicken?"

Kathy laughs, “its fried chicken in funny shapes.”

The red-haired boy furrows his brow, still frowning.
"Why would anyone cut chicken into funny shapes?" he asks, "Chicken is for eating."

Kathy laughs, “Its to look more appealing. Especially towards children. Trust me, I’ve gotta 5 year old brother at home and a 6 year old niece.”

Phoenix's eyebrows shoot up in surprise, "You have siblings?"
He winces when he realizes how indelicate that sounds, but it's too late to take the comment back.

Rayla thinks, then blinks. A plate of these fabled "dino nuggets" appears for Pheonix.

"Dino nuggets!" she says, delighted. "I've heard of these only in passing from demigods who ascended from the mortal realm."

Kathy smiles, nodding. “Its more of- chosen family. I was born an only child.” He chuckles, “I found my brother out in the woods alone. So I took him in. Well- he followed me home-“ he smiles brightly, a fond look in his eye.
