"I SMELL CHICKEN," *bellowed Kip as he stumbled into the kitchen ahead of Jamie and Jake. Jamie nodded politely to the women but said nothing, in his way, and Jake brought up the back, stifling a laugh as they clattered dirt through the kitchen.*

*Lizzie stepped back, her hands on her hips.*
"There's my boys..." *She greeted each with a smile and a nod of the head, then pointed each out to Alex.*
"Kip and Jamie. 'Ya already met Jake."

*Lark did her best to stay out of the way, especially with Kip. The situation made her feel awkward, even if him and Jake had made peace. She caught Jake's hand subtly as he entered the kitchen.*
"Hey you." *She whispered softly, obviously relieved to see him.*

Alex held her hand out to each man in turn.
"Alex-andra," she said, nearly forgetting. "My pleasure."

*Lark gripped his hand for a moment.*
"I'm glad." *She whispered back.* "Despite my bad press, I don't mean to cause trouble."
*She glanced up to him with a smile.*

"Ya'll ready to eat?" *Lizzie questioned the group at large, gesturing to the table.*
"Don't want it gettin' cold."

*Jamie and Kip were seated and more-or-less-silently fighting over the biscuits while Jake managed to hold himself in check, for once, as he pulled out a chair for Lark. The gesture was awkward, as he clearly hadn't made himself give a foal's fart about a lady for some time, but he clearly remembered all the rules his step-ma had taught him over the years.*

*Lark did her best to minimize her grin as she took the seat he offered. It wasn't like she was used to it either.*
"Thank you." *She whispered softly in his direction. Looking over the array, she wasn't quite sure how to start. It felt awkward just jumping in, but the other boys seemed to think it was a fine enough plan.*

*Jake cleared his throat, to no avail. He glanced down at the tablecloth as if looking for an answer as they were all seated, then he glanced back at his brothers.*
"Kip. Jamie. Ladies. Grace."

*A bit of crusty biscuit fell from Kip's slack-jaw mouth and bounced off his plate with a small noise.*

*Jamie bit back a smirk and folded his hands with a bit of an overdone flourish.*

*Lizzie rolled her eyes at the boys but bowed her head dutifully.*
