"Go ahead," Nell said, showing them a patch of three wheat stalks, "that should be enough for your bread."

Jesse blinked, before swiveling her head to face the blonde. "Hang on- all of it?"

"Course, brah, it'll grow back," Nell responded casually, "just, uh, leave the seeds, yeah?"

Jesse blinked again, before nodding. "Oh- sure." And she harvested the wheat, leaving a small pile of seeds. The moment Jesse's lower arms slipped the wheat into her pocket, her upper arms scooped up the seeds, and Jace suddenly jumped into the small piles of dirt, furiously digging and leaving a small arrangement of holes in the ground, hands covered in dirt as he beamed at his sister.

Jesse grinned and patted him on the head, careful not to mix seeds into his hair. "You really are a wolf-hybrid, aren't you?"

"Yes, yes I am," Jace said proudly. Jesse laughed and then quickly replanted the seeds, Jace quickly flinging dirt back on top of the ground to cover up the seeds.

"Nice," Nell said, grinning at the two as they walked back into the square, Jace furiously swatting dirt off of his hands, "looks like that should be enough for some epic loafage."

Jesse blinked at Nell. "Has anyone ever told you that you speak in a practically different language, because... I have no clue what you just said..." she said, meekly.

"Oh, cha, dude, all the time. Em does it all the time. Jace is better though. He really understands me," and Nell slung an arm around Jace's shoulder, the brown-haired male blushing a bit. "Ah... hehe, well, not really..."

Jesse smirked back at her brother, before looking around. "Well, hopefully bread'll be enough to get that Facemeat guy to help me..."

"Righteous," Nell said, giving Jesse a lazy grin, before it faded into a more thoughtful look. "They don't let us use crafting tables, though..."

"Then I suppose I'll have to make my own," Jesse hummed thoughtfully, her brother nodding at her with a beaming grin. "C'mon, I saw some wood planks at the Block-Fu Dojo."

"Does anyone train there?"

"Not anymore, I don't think..."

Jesse went over to the now-empty dojo, and, with a quick glance over her shoulder, she began harvesting the wood, wincing at how loud it was. Jace was keeping a lookout so vigorously it looked as though he were doing rigorous neck exercises.

"Jace, don't do that, you're gonna draw even more attention," Jesse mumbled, out of the corner of her mouth, as she managed to punch through enough for a table. Quickly crafting, wincing again at how incredibly loud this was, she finished a table. "Okay, now let's make some food..."

And it took her a good two minutes to craft some bread out of the wheat.

"This reminds me of the time," Jace said mildly, "that Nell started teaching me to do tricks, using a bunch of dog biscuits that she made out of toasted bread, and I learned to do a backwards flip."

Jesse snickered at her brother, who gave her a teasing pout, and the two of them trotted back over to Facemeat. "Hey, Facemeat- got some bread for you!" And Jesse held it out with a pleasant look on her face.

Facemeat snatched it out of her hand, making her wince and rub her stinging fingers. "Bread, huh? It's not cake, but Facemeat IS starving..." And he started chomping into the bread with huge bites, Jesse's eyebrows shooting up so that it almost disappeared into her hair. When he was finished, Jesse asked meekly, "Please get my friends?"

Facemeat gave the spider hybrid girl a somewhat reluctant grin. "Facemeat appreciates the politeness. Hang on." And he turned and disappeared through the portal.

"See? They love you."

Jesse gave her twin an amused look as Petra and Cassie came back over. "I wouldn't go that far, Jace..."

"Hey, Jesse."

Jesse turned to look at the two redheads, smiling slightly. "Hey, guys. That calming potion still in effect for you, Cassie?"

Cassie thought about it. "It might be wearing off, but for the moment it's not too bad," she said, still rather mildly.

Petra snorted. "Even without being angry, she still curses worse than a sailor."

Winslow sniggered as Jace shook his head, looking faintly amused. "Oh, that's nothing; you should see how much Clutch swears. I think she has a fifty-times an hour quota."

"GAH!" and a minute later two people fell through the portal, Facemeat stomping through after them. "Here- go away, Respawns."

Jesse's eyes lit up, and she raced forward and grabbed the blonde ocelot hybrid- who was back in his old Ocelots jacket- and Ivor in a tight hug. "Dad! Lukas!" she practically squealed happily.

Ivor blinked at Jesse; he was wearing... a rather interesting outfit. Just a white undershirt and some striped blue shorts. "... dad?"

Jesse blushed as she let go, feeling her face turn as red as her eye. She'd forgotten that she'd never called him that before. "Um... well..."

Ivor patted her on the back, a small smile on his face. "No, no... I kind of like it."

The two of them smiled at each other, before the moment was disturbed. "They made a kitty hybrid!"

Lukas yelped, and Jesse suddenly found two blurs racing around the square, before there was a blur of yellow hair flying at her, whipping around her and hiding behind her, claws digging into her armor. "Jesseeee, save meeee," he mewled, crouching behind her and peeking out over her shoulder at Jace, whose eyes were practically sparkling as his hands clasped at his mouth, his tail wagging so fast it was a blur of brownish gray, and bouncing on the balls of his feet.

There was a momentary, startled silence before Jace added in a whisper, "He's so cute..."

Petra shook her head in amusement, and summoned two gold sticks, one which she shone a little tiny dot of light onto the ground, and the other she waved tantalizingly at Jace, who spotted it out of the corner of his eye and his head snapped to it attentively. "Yeah, yeah, you want it? Gooo get it!" and she flicked it over her head into the distance, Jace sending up a wave of snow as he bolted after it.

Lukas was staring at the dot of light, intrigued, and Petra shifted it, Lukas creeping towards it, before Petra shifted it again, and he tried jumping on it. Petra began twitching it everywhere, the ocelot hybrid doing his best to jump on it and failing, Jesse trying very hard not to giggle at it.

Jesse looked at Ivor, quirking her eyebrow. "... oh yeah, Dad... what are you wearing?" she asked, gesturing faintly at his outfit.

"It breathes wonderfully," Ivor said defensively.

This made Jesse excuse herself to go laugh in a corner.

"OH FREAKING HELL I'M GONNA MURDER THOSE OLD BUILDERS!"

"Cassie, no, help me play with Lukas and Jace please... they need to be distracted right now..."

This just made Jesse laugh even harder.
