Although this crazy lady WAS slicing Zara her piece of cake, so she couldn't complain about that. Tino did NOT want to be fed. "NOO!" He swatted at Mum's spoonful. SORRY, MUM. He knew how to hold a spoon and he was a big kid who could feed himself. Nevermind the fact that at least half of each spoonful of his single-scoop strawberry dish landed on the table... or his clothes. The point was, he was doing it HIMSELF. Pink ice cream dribbled down his chin as he stuck his spoon back in the dish for another bite. Big kid.
Paulie, on the other hand, both literally and figuratively ate it up as Tori fed him a bite. He grinned wide and happily took the pats on the cheek. "Mmmmm, thanks, love." What? He liked being spoiled by his main squeeze, too. Paulie was basically a big kid himself.
It was back to his mint chocolate chip ice cream now, which was over half eaten already. His mouth was filled with a large scoop of the minty treat when Tori casually mentioned Louisa's having marital problems, threats of violence, and cat pics. And Louisa wasted no time in spitting back some remarks to that. UM, Paulie was curious about this, though! Couldn't Storm be, like, a normal kid and talk KID things with Zara? Paulie glanced at his daughter. "Zara, don't ya wanna go eat your cake next to your pal Storm?" Hmmm?
He ate another spoonful. "Haven't seen ol' Myth in a while." Just saying. Tino's small motor skills were still being honed and all, which was why a moment later, the tip of his spoon caught on his bowl. The obvious solution to this was to pull it up with MORE force, which ultimately resulted in a mini catapult of sorts. WSSSSSHHHHHHHHH. A decently-sized bit of strawberry ice cream soared through the air, a mini cannonball of pink sugar, to land RIGHT on mummy's pretty, red hair. Quote:

But maybe the big words she used were made-up, even though they didn't sound like crazy made-up words. At least she was FINALLY getting some cake, which she tucked into without further ado. She couldn't look at Tino while he was eating, either. He was SO GROSS and WASTEFUL of the sugar!!!
"Yesssssss!" she agreed when Dad suggested she move to sit by Storm. She made a big show of picking up her piece of ice cream cake, parading SLOWLY around the table WITHOUT dropping it though she came close to dropping it all SEVERAL times and then successfully setting the cake and herself down beside Stormy.
Who she was now watching with big eyes, trying to take just as small of bites of ice cream, like the little copycat she was. "Totes jokes," Tori sing-sang, though her smirk was just broadening because Louisa was CLEARLY in one of her moods today. How did she ever work with the public (much less, IMPORTANT government officials or whatever) when she had such a tone all the time?
Tori flicked her hair over her shoulder in a dismissive way and concentrated her attention on her own children, watching Zara first as she practically skipped about with her piece of ice cream cake. Tori only almost had a mini heart-attack about four times as she watched the girl take a day and a half to move around the table.
She was so busy watching her daughter, in fact, that she failed to notice her son getting wilder and wilder with the strawberry ice cream, until... PLOP!
...Tori felt the catapulted cannonball land in her hair. "EEEEEEEEEEEK!" she squealed, in a tone nearly identical to Zara's from earlier as she reached up and felt the ice cream in her hair. Hastily, she began grabbing napkins to try to get it off--- though it would probably be easier if SOMEONE ELSE were to scoop it off her head for her. "Tino! PAULIE!" She wanted to glare at them BOTH but was afraid to turn her head in case the ice cream MOVED and SLID DOWN HER or WORSE! "WHY WEREN'T YOU WATCHING HIM?!"
She wasn't angry; she was just disappointed. Loudly disappointed.
Louisa didn't find it useful to stoop to Paulie's sense of humour with his daughter, so she just ignored the gestures and whatnot. He was harmless, anyway, it was his wife that needed the attention and maintenance if need be. ahem. Storm's head whipped towards uncle Paulie when he suggested Zara joined her at the table. "Uhm." She was about to say she was able to interact with Zara from across the table quite fine, but it was too late. Her small friend was already waddling over. Storm, who was secretly a caring child, made sure Zara climbed up on the chair without harming the plate, the ice cream or herself. She would like the credit of how Zara made it all the way here with 0 incidents, thank you.
The ice cream cake on her plate had gotten soggy and unappetizing already because she kept poking at it with her spoon and fork without taking a single bite yet. She raised her gaze from the mess in her plate just in time to see precious Tino fling his ice cream at his mother-- who erupted in rage like a dragon in response. "HAHAHAHA," Storm laughed heartily, clasping a hand on her mouth after realizing how loud her laugh must've been.
Louisa was side-eyeing the untouched plate of her daughter, about to start a spiel about wasting food (which would've been directed at Paulie more so her daughter) when the tragedy happened. While she did not find it funny, Storm's reaction caused her face to beam. " Now now, Storm. We don't laugh at other people's misfortune. Especially when the ice cream almost matches their hair colour," she had the tiniest of smiles on there. Ah, bless that child for being so hilarious.
" Do you need help, Tori?" Or maybe her loving husband will swoop in and save the day? Louisa would just sit here and watch and judge as always.
