When the morning came, Sean had wandered to the kitchen at some point in the night and took out all the utensils and plates. He left the plates scattered on the counter, but the glittering utensils surrounded him as he sat on the floor, marveling at their polished shine and strange surfaces.
Kai yawned and came downstairs, rubbing his eyes and X started barking. Kai came into the kitchen and froze
He turned the spoon to face the concave side, and blew a foggy breath onto it.
"Sean what are you doing?!" He panicked
The kid almost leapt out of his own body, the spoon flinging out of his hand and hitting the wall.
Kaius heard muffled sounds coming from the next room and sighed, walking around the room to pick up all the spoons. "Have you never seen a spoon in your life?" He exclaimed
Sean shook his head meekly, looking ashamed. Kai could hear his father stirring from all the noise, the floor above them creaked as he rolled out of bed. At the creaking, Sean looked startled and afraid.
"Oh god, just help put these back. Or you know what, go sit on the chair over there. I'll clean it all." He sighed crou hing down to pick up the spoons.
He stood up unsteadily and hurried to the chair with an apologetic manner about him.
Kai looked at the boy again before sighing and picking up spoons. He picked up and put away the last of the spoons just as his dad came downstairs
"Goodmorning," his father croaked, "What're you up to? Making all this noise.."
"Ah, nothing. I found a boy last night. All bloodied and injured. Said his mom did it to him. I brought him here and he decided to play with the spoons." Kai explained, turning to the fridge to take out eggs
His dad blinked. "Oh. Well. Ah.." he glanced over at Sean, who sat frozen and nervous like a frightened cat, "…Does he have a name?"
Also kai's dad is the epitome of not panicking )
"Yeah, calls himself Sean." He mumbled, whipping up some eggs and leaving them to cook. "I'm gonna be workin' out back on my tower. Holler if you need me."
His father blinked again. "Do you.. have a plan for this kid? Where's his dad?"
Sean looked at Kaius.
"I dont know. He doesnt talk, draws pictures. Maybe you can get him to talk?" Kai said. He whistled and X came trotting
His father looked stumped, giving Sean an unsure look. "Hey..?"
"He is very nervous and jittery, I advise you to keep your distance." Kai said and stepped outside
"Okay then." The father half-laughed. Kai had always been a little unpredictable, but this…?
"See ya dad!"
Skip?)
(Sure. I feel like it would be funny if Kai's dad and Sean bonded lol)
XD yessss )
Kaius's dad was trying to get Sean outside. It was kind of funny, watching him try to coax him like he would an animal, using food even. Sean just watched him unimpressedly from the kitchen chair, refusing to return to the outdoors.
"Come on. C'mon. Isn't outside where you live?" His dad laughed confusedly. "This is so strange."
Kai sighed and jumped off the tower. He whistled "X come on! Back home!" He yelled and started running the kilometer back home.
"Okay. Well." He sighed, "What do you want?"
Sean pointed to the utensil drawer.
