29 Chimera Court, Saturday Morning

[firstofitskind]

Well, Liam's age could be measured in the single digits even on weekends where something hadn't happened to cause many of Fandom's residents to wake up as children. That didn't mean that this weekend's weirdness had skipped him, of course. No, the Liam who woke up this morning was actually child-shaped.

Which meant he had regressed to a point where he was still very new to, well, existence. He could tell that something was not-quite-right, but lacked the words to describe just what that was.

What he did know was that he was cold. Which was an easy enough problem to solve, he just pulled the blanket off the chair and wrapped it around his shoulders.

Then there was the strange rumbling sound his stomach was making. That... he didn't know what to do about, exactly. Clearly, some exploration was in order.

"A little." Liam admitted. He popped the cheese in his mouth and after a moment of chewing, his eyes widened in surprise. There was a difference between 'remembering' what food tasted like and actually tasting something for the first time, apparently. "I like that. Put lots in."

"Lots of cheese," Nathan replied with a little grin. "That, I can do."

Cheese was one of those things he kind of desperately missed while he was in Japan. He had no problems with making these the most cheesy damn scrambled eggs the world had ever seen.

"If you know other children," Liam said thoughtfully as he stirred. "What do they like to do?"

Quite possibly the longest string of words he'd managed yet, but it was an important question.

[shiroi_tiger]

"Plenty of things," Nathan replied, pausing for a moment to think. "Higen learned how to play baseball so that he could teach the other kids, for example."

Once they figured out 'run home,' they had done pretty okay, in fact.

[firstofitskind]

"Baseball," Liam echoed. "But you need a team?"

[shiroi_tiger]

"Generally, yeah," Nathan confirmed, "but it only takes one person to throw a ball around. Two if you don't want to go chasing it all the time."

"I don't know other children," Liam admitted. Hence... trying to figure out what children were supposed to do.

He paused in the egg-stirring and looked expectantly at Nathan, wondering if the eggs were done.

[shiroi_tiger]

"Well, you could always get a grown-up to throw the ball with you," Nathan suggested. "Or go meet some other kids. There are probably a few around the island right now."

At least a few, yes.

"That looks pretty good," he added, glancing into the bowl. "Here, I'll take it back to the counter and grate some cheese into it, and then we can cook it up, how does that sound?"

[firstofitskind]

"Okay," Liam nodded, stepping down off the chair. "Remember, lots."

Nathan probably didn't actually need that reminder, but it was best to make sure.

[shiroi_tiger]

"Lots and lots," Nathan promised, pulling out the grater and starting to shred the cheese into the bowl. "Might as well use the rest of it, we're making plenty after all."

[firstofitskind]

"Good idea," Liam agreed.
