(no problem)
"Agreed," Meun groaned after flopping onto the bed next to him. "My back definitely feels like I slept in a bathtub all night," he grumbled

(Can I bring up the drama with August's sister now or should we do it a different time?)
(sure)
Riverpaw hopped back off the counter, almost slipping with her socks on the hard floor. "I don't know if I've said anything before, but I'm much better at making sweets than actual food." She admitted, standing next to Belle.
(I’ll be gone for 3-4 hours cause we’re driving up north)
(Oooooh, fun! I love going up north! I get to go up to Lake Superior almost every year, and I love it.)
(Cool)
"We did sleep in a bathtub all night." August said, rolling over to wrap an arm around his waist. "And-"
"Aw, he's cute. Is he your boyfriend, Aug?" A familiar voice said. August immediately jerked up, his eyes scanning the room. How had he not seen her? His sister sat on his table, idly flipping through some book he had lying around.
"What the hell are you doing here, El?"
Riverpaw hopped of the counter, almost slipping with her socks on the hard floor. "I don't know if I've said anything before, but I'm much better at making sweets than actual food." She admitted, standing next to Belle.
"That's fine," Belle said, laughter tinging her voice. "I'll tell you what ingredients to put in and how much of each. That should be easy, right?"
Meun just about immediately squeaked in surprise, flinching enough to end up falling off the bed. He hid behind it, eyeing the stranger warily
"I..I guess so. But like, a-are we doing it from scratch or do you have pancake mix? Because…that might be less of a risk." She mumbled the last part, looking at the floor. She'd rarely be so hard on herself out loud, but she had virtually no confidence in her cooking skills.
"It's from scratch. Don't worry, though. I've got the recipe memorized. You can do the easy stuff," Belle said.
Shoot, I thought too soon. Rigel huffed a breath, shooting her a glare as he got to the second site, only answer after he began digging, “You won’t want to hear the story.”
“I got time.”
Riverpaw sighed, moving over to idly examine the cooking supplies. "Okie dokie."
His sister snorted. "How do you even find people like that, Aug?" She asked, ignoring his question.
"How did you find me?" August glanced back at Meun to check if he was alright, but otherwise didn't say anything to him. "I left for a reason, you know."
"Oh, believe me, I know. You couldn't even sit in the same room with Dad without picking a fight." She glanced back at Meun as well. "Aren't you going to introduce me?"
Meun climbed up onto the bed, adjusting his glasses as he continued to give the stranger a wary look
August clenched his jaw. "Meun, this is Eleanor, my twin. Eleanor, this is Meun, my… friend?" He hadn't meant the end to come out as a question, though he wasn't completely sure what he and Meun were.
Riverpaw sighed, moving over to idly examine the cocking . "Okie dokie."
Belle directed Riv in what to do, while she measured other things. Once they were finished, she poured two spots into the pan to cook.
"And now we wait."
“Boyfriend,” Meun corrected quietly. He ran a hand through his fluffy white hair, doing his best to make him look a little more presentable
Riverpaw nodded, watching the pan closely. Last time she was put in charge of pancakes, Sky had to throw nearly the whole batch.
"You good?" Belle asked, leaning back against the counter.
Riverpaw hummed quietly, before the question actually registered and she glanced at Belle and shook her head. "Y-yeah, I'm fine. Just thinking about stuff."
Belle nodded slowly. "All right. If you say so. Those pancakes should be done any second now."
Riverpaw opened a drawer and pulled out a spatula, handing it to Belle. "Sky said it's easy to tell when they're done by seeing if all the bubbles on the top have popped, and then checking the bottom."
(When the bobbles have pooped…? Lol.)
"That it is," Belle agreed, taking the spatula and checking the bottoms of the pancakes. She flipped them, noticing their golden-brown color.
“Boyfriend,” Meun corrected quietly. He ran a hand through his fluffy white hair, doing his best to make him look a little more presentable
August's cheeks warmed. "Boyfriend." He agreed in a hushed tone. He could practically feel his sister rolling her eyes behind him.
"Great, now that that's sorted, I need your help. Dad's gone missing." Eleanor said it casually, as if it wasn't a big deal. August sent her an alarmed look.
"He's what?!" Eleanor rolled her eyes again.
"You heard me."
(OH GOD I DIDN'T SEE THAT XD)
Riverpaw smiled as she watched Belle work. She was wondering if she could flip the next ones, but knew that'd probably be a bad idea. "How many are we making?" She asked.
