Zeus measured out the ingredients and handed them one by one to Runner for him to dump in the bowl. "Can you crack an egg at least?"

"Probably." He gently opened the carton and pulled one out. After a few quick taps, he split the egg open with his thumbs. It wasn't perfect, but there was no shell in the bowl.

Zeus nodded approvingly. "Mix the ingredients together in the bowl until the mixture is smooth."

He grabbed a wisk and began running it through the mixture, just aggressive enough to actually mix iwthout splashing it all over his clothes.

"The fact that you are doing as I say means you don't despise it as much as you want me to believe." Zeus said, leaning against the counter and watching Runner.

"Any other time I would've walked back upstairs. But if it'll make Tess happy, I'll do it."

Zeus smiled knowingly. "Figured that would get you moving. That's enough." He reached for the bowl.

He stopped whisking and pulled back, giving him space to grab the bowl.

Zeus took the bowl and poured some on the flat iron, eyeballing the amount. "So. You and my sister, huh?"

"Yeah. Although she doesn't want to admit it to you."

He smirked. "I know. I myself don't really want to tell her I have a girlfriend, though I'm better at hiding it than she is."

He shrugged. "Things started off a little weird."

Zeus flipped the pancakes, then leaned against the counter dramatically, propping his chin on his fist. "Oh, do tell."

He rolled his eyes. "She got captured by a demon lord who ended up being my dad. I blew the camp to shit, but he ends up chasing after me He revealed he's my dad, and tried to get me to kill the Vanguard, but I stopped myself. At that point she's messing around with another Vanguard guy, so I just isolated myself from them for a few weeks, fought a few more things, then I came back."

Zeus raised a brow. "Rhydar? He's been chasing after her since she joined up." He went back to the pancakes, grabbing a plate and putting them on it. He poured two more blobs of mix on to the iron, then turned back to Runner.

He nodded. "Yeah. Ever since I've came here, things have been moving quickly. I mean, the same day that I came, we went on a date, I got hr the necklace she now wears as an apology for not being able to make it through one of her concerts, and we kissed." He smiled slightly. "I had been a little worried about staying here, just cause I've spent so much time wandering. I didn't know anything else. But she'd somehow got me to stay. She doesn't even want me to work, which is a little frustrating."

Zeus nodded, well aware of his sister's antics. "Kika will be like that for a little while yet. She hasn't had the best of luck with relationships, and she's sure no one likes her. Just be patient. You'll be able to work in a bit." He flipped the pancakes.

"I hope so. I'm getting antsy coped up in here."

"I SMELL FOOOOOOOOD!!!!"
Zeus sighed and rolled his eyes. "The nose of a bloodhound, I tell you."

He snorted, turning to Tessie's voice.

Tess breezed in the house, as bright and chipper as always. Her eyes immediately fell on the pancakes and her mouth started to water. 'Mmmmmmmm! Me wants!"
Zeus wasn't very fazed. "Well, if you weren't out all night doing gods know what, then you wouldn't be this hungry."
Tess conveniently didn't hear him and hovered over the growing pile of pancakes.

"What did you do last night?" Runner asked.

"Hmm? Oh, just talked to some old friends." She kept it vague, and it was obvious.

"Old friends on a different world?"

"On Earth, yes." She wiggled her fingers over the pile of pancakes. Zeus smacked her hand away. "I am from Earth, y'know."
