Working while having to take care of a two year old was exhausting, if anyone would know it was Archer. The male in question was thrilled to have been able to take a two-day break from work.

It was a beautiful afternoon and Archer decided to treat everyone to a delicious lunch. The table was filled with different kinds of sandwiches, a couple different types of drinks, some sides, as well as a sippy cup for Alaric.

The two year old was sitting at the foot of the table with a pacifier in his mouth, looking at his dad with bright green eyes. "Guys, lunch is ready!" He called up to the others. He grabbed Alaric, tapping his nose before putting him in his highchair and giving him some soft carrots and peas along with his sippy cup filled with water.

(haha me tho xD I vote house! ^^)

Arlath carefully bookmarked his page and set his book aside. He'd been reading for so long he'd lost track of time, he realized. He rose and made his way to the stairs, the delicious smells floating up from the kitchen reminding him how hungry he was.
"Sorry for not helping you," he said as he entered the kitchen, smiling at Alaric as he passed. "Thank-you, Archer. This looks really good. Do you need help with anything before the others get here?"

(Me too!)

Aisling had been hiding out in her room working on grading essays her students had written. It was hard at times to get work done to begin with, and she wasn't the most interested or focused today on her work, so grading was nearly impossible for her.. When she heard that lunch was ready she was so happy, she didn't want to stay up there any longer. She let Mikey out of his cage, placed him on her shoulder then headed down to the kitchen. "Archer, thanks for lunch!" She said as she gave Alaric a hug before sitting down, I'm sure everything will be amazing!"

"Guys, lunch is ready!" called Archer from the kitchen. Nakita grunted as she rolled off the couch and made her way to her seat at the dinning table. She ruffled Alaric's hair and stook her tongue out playfully. The toddler giggled. "Thanks for lunch, Archie! I'm starving!" she called to the boy in the kitchen. "Good to see the two cave dwellers at long last?" she jested at Arlath and Aisling.

Nick was in his room working on homework when he heard Archer's call. After hours of staring at his laptop, lunch sounded great. He took off his glasses and rubbed his eyes. "Coming!" He called back. He got up, stretching out his arms as he walked over to the kitchen. "Those sandwiches look great. Thanks Archer!" He said with a smile on his face.

Mariana was finishing hand sewing the strap to her kitchen apron line, she was hoping to release them at her shop soon, when she heard Archer call for lunch. She got up from the sewing desk in her bedroom and walked down the stairs to the kitchen. She walked around the table, giving Alaric a gently boop on the nose, in response a gentle giggle come from the toddler, and to the kitchen. "Archer honey do you need help bringing things to the table?" she paused by the fridge to wait for his answer.

(sorry y'all, I went on a trip to Toronto and I forgot about nb for a while.)

Archer smiled in response to everyone's statements before turning to Mariana and lifting a pitcher of juice. "Can you bring out the glasses? I'm taking the juice and that's all that is left." He smiled and walked to the table, setting down the pitcher before taking a seat next to his son.

(np! ^^)

Arlath settled slowly, wincing as his joints creaked slightly. Though he still wasn't entirely used to being around this many people, he was slowly getting more comfortable again. Didn't stop him from feeling out of his element entirely, but that was something he was decent at hiding. There was no point in troubling them about it.
"Good afternoon," he greeted the others as they appeared.

YOOOO I finally decided to get back online,,,I saved up and got my own computer,,,

"Of course!" Mariana replied, going into the cabinent to get out glasses for everyone anf carrying them to the table. She set one at everyones place, careful not to put any too close to Alaric so he didnt knock them off the table as children tend to do.
