[Rue protests but all of the boys know how excited they'll be to receive anything from any of their sons. Hopefully it will be more leaf art!!!]

I don't know how I'll suffer through, but if I must, I must! [they can not even say it without a soft laugh] Tell me, my dear, what do you have going on at school today?

Oh, today's lessons? I think we're expanding on the code lessons from before, trying to incorporate the test codes we've been writing with some basic engineering we've assembled. I'm still trying to decide what I want to actually build, so right now it's just a stick with a head.

[A bit silly, but that's just how it is when you have too many ideas and are too indecisive to pick.]

Any suggestions? Besides a spider or a bird, our apartment's got those.

[Also no goo monsters.]

[Their genius boy! No matter how often they hear the boys speaking on codes and builds and such, Rue still struggles to conceptualize it with their too visual brain, so what Casey does impresses them every single time.]

A little cat, perhaps? That could be quite cute.

[His eyes widen immediately, making a soft cooing noise.]

Ohhh, a cat! That would be so cute. We could cover it in fake fur, program it to meow and knock things off tables...

Would it be able to do that cute kneading motion those cats at the cat cafe were doing? And purr? That would be so perfect!

I could totally program in a purr. The kneading might depend on how fine a motor system I can build into it. All those digits complicate things.

[He raises his hands, flexing his fingers demonstrably. The wheels are turning in his head, though. He could probably do it...]

[do it for your mother!! think of how elated they'll be to come over and cuddle with both of their boys and a cat! Dream fulfilled.]

Oh - [Rue looks awed] If you can manage, such a companion would be so darling in your apartment! And they wouldn't shed much if the fur was fake! That's already a step up from my Knickolas.

[sudden desire to make this the most functional cat robot ever conceived.]

That would be really cute. [aaaaa] Actually I don't think I've ever seen Hob's familiar form.

Casey. [Let them just clutch at his arm a little, stars in their eyes]

You must come over and see it! He is so shy about it, but he's about as big as you are as a cat! It's the cutest thing I've ever seen.

[His eyes get so wide again.]

For real? That's a huge cat! [Even if he's not that big of a person, that is still. A very large cat.] If he's shy about it I could go owlbear for him, so he's not alone. ...Or pangolin I guess. So I can still talk. And tell him he's cute.

[casey baby, one day you will grow (maybe)]

That's a wonderful idea! Perhaps knowing you and Leo are both Familiars as well, he'll be more open to the idea. But truly, he's so darling and giant and his fur absolutely takes over everything! It's perfect for cuddling.

[maybe, probably. (probably not.)]

I definitely have to see this.

[must see giant cat!!!]

[tiny king]

You'll have to come by over the weekend when I'm home, the two of us can lovingly bully it him into it.

[sure hope THAT doesn't become his name

Casey gives them a fingergun, so very maturely.]

I'm already there.

[oh my god their son is such a dork omg]

It's a date. [Rue walks Casey right up to his apartment building before reaching over to draw him into a quick hug.]

Thank you again for joining me this morning, darling, and I hope you have a wonderful day at school.

[He even got a whole walk home! Spoiled child. He happily hugs them back, cheeks pink from the wind and eyes bright.]

I'm glad I did! It was fun, thank you. I hope your day's great too, but don't work too hard!

[as if rue does anything in half measures!]

Hardly! If I am not working hard, what is even the point? [if rue wanted to take things easy, they'd still be working out of their home.]

Either way, I'll see you later, my love. Be safe getting to school.

[He laughs and waves, heading up the stairs to his apartment. He has some cake to deliver.]
