"Hehe, I can'tvstop being hungry like I justvwanna eat and eat is that normie." Zeke heard Rocket asking later that afternoon after getting home from a better day of school but was drinking a tall glass of chocolate milk and eating lots of cookies making the elder raccoon-male chuckle knowing what was happening withbhis and Herbert's boy but would explain it it in a few minutes plus he saw Herbert there excited whispering into Zeke's furry ear seeing his brownish eyes glisten with delight.
"Ohhhh yeah Rockie, raccoon metabolism makes us cute and chunky but we're healthy and daddy wants my help with a science-project so dinner might be late or one of your friends invited you." Zeke told him making the male-kit curious, about the science-project his dads were up to remembering Lylla had invited him for dinner so was leaving but knew his dads would be okay with it leaving an note.
He grinned scampering over to Lylla's house seeing the female-cub open the door using her metal arms like her mom's which he thought cool like Teefs's chair hoping Teefs was okay after dodgeball as the other kids had not been jice and had hit Teefs and Floor with dodgeballs in Gym but heand Lylla had protected them takingva few owies for them which Lylla's mom saw.
"That wasfrom Gym, other kids weee hitting Teefs and Floor hard with dodgeballs s9 we were shielding them, they're awesome but Floor is shy like Teefs to tell the teacher like you told me." Lylla told her mom.
"Yeah they were bothering me wanting to be my friends but I said no thanks, Lylla, Teefs and Floor are my real friends." Rocket told her making Lylla's cheeks go pink at that hearing her mom giggle as this was adorable knowing he loved hanging aroubd her, Teefs and Floor seeing him shy seeing Lylla and her mom closing their eyes saying thanks to King Herbert for giving them a safe life on Wondergore, feeling his furry cheeks go hot hearing the prayer
"Ummmm Ms O, do a lot of families do what you just said before dinner." he asked embarrassed.
"Ohhh Rocket it's okay tomask questions, it's how you learn like I tell Lyllue here, yes a lot of famlies do this on Wondergore, we oew a lot to your dad and guess you don't do this at home asit might be strange." she explained to him relieving him as he thought he'd said something wrong.
"Notvreally Ms O, we talk about our day, my dad talks about some of what he's workihg on, or papa Zeke tells stories of Ravager life." Rocket told her impressing her and Lylla guessing he liked it here knowing he didn't have a mom so didn't mind sharing hers with him sensing he liked it here seeing her mom nod sensing he liked it here.
Herbert and Zeke noticed Rocket was sleepy and not running rings arouhd them guessing he was tired from school and the fun he had at Zelda and Lylla's house making him andcZeke mugs of hot cocoa with lots of marshmallows on them along with cookies knowing they were growing boys asking Rocket what he'd did at Lylla's house.
"We had yummy fish and corn bread then Ms Zelda told us stories like papa Zeke." the male-kit said eating a lot of marshmallows and cookies along with Zeke which was making him feel warm, content plus his growing tummy was happy as Herbert was carrying him to his room tucking him in, hearing Rocketvask, what project he and Zeke were working on.
"It's a surprise buddy but you should rest, you've got school." he said kissing his furry head and snout seeing him out like a light
