Eventually everyone finished and Maria looked at the clock. "Rykah you and Will better sort out your bedding cause it's getting late and you should be in bed in about an hour alright?"
Rykah sighed, a protest coming up, but then swallowed it, "Yes mom" he said reluctantly, as he got to his feet, leaving the plate on the table and headed towards the ladder.
"Will I know I'm not your parent but you should get some sleep too alright?" she said gently.
“Thank you, ma’am.” Will replied politely. He followed Rykah’s lead.
Rykah led the way upstairs, flopping on the floor of his room, which was now quite dark.
Will sat down next to him, smiling. “Your mom and Barron are really nice.”
(Also remember to respond on the other one)
(I know… did you post?? Cause I haven't gotten any notifications)
(Yeah, unless my thing isn’t loading correctly.)
"Yeah…" said Rykah smiling lightly "but I think the one thing I regret about coming back is the fact that I actually have a bedtime now…"
(Yeah, unless my thing isn’t loading correctly.)
(Go bump it?)
“Yeah….. but do they come up here to check?” Will asked, hearing his brother and sister telling him to break the rules for once in the back of his head.
"No.. they never come up here" said Rykah, "Not unless I ask them to.. or I'm being loud at night…"
(I will make sure they don't come up cause I don't want them too!!)
Will almost said that they should stay up late. But then he decided against it. “Ok.”
Rykah launched a few silver orbs into the air, lighting the room enough to see. Then he pulled down a wooden plank, covering the ladderway. "I guess we'd better set up somewhere to sleep huh?" he said wryly, not liking the idea of bedtime at all.
“Yep.” Will was trying to imagine saying that they shouldn’t break the rules. It wasn’t like him at all, and he was kind of mad at himself for even thinking it.
Rykah pulled out a bunch of the blankets he'd shoved on the floor earlier, and pulled down several pillows, piling them all on the floor. Soon he had a kind of large nest made, with all the blankets and pillows. (Which is a ton of blankets and pillows..) "Uhm.. if you don't mind I'd like to change.." he said it kinda shyly as he pulled out some pj's from the bottom of the drawer in the wardrobe.
(Imma just overlook the fact that he hadn't been there for 4 yrs and probably wouldn't fit in anything if his room had really been untouched all these yrs…)
“Tell me when you’re done.” Will said, stepping out.
(Still nothing on the Saving Kingdoms?)
(Oof.. I'll search it when I'm finished here)
Rykah nodded, pulling his sweatshirt off entirely, and letting his wings fluff out. quickly changing his bottoms he didn't feel like pulling on any sort of shirt so he just went outside. as soon as he was outside he dunked his head in the rain barrel, then grabbing a nearby cup he let some of the water pour over the feathers on his back.
(Mind you flying takes a ton of core strength, and I haven't done much research on it but this kid is probably gonna have a rock hard core if that means anything… and no I'm not doing the shirtless thing on purpose.. He's got feathers on his back that probably itch like crazy…)
(Ok)
Will waited, examining his hands. He had done this as long as he could remember when he was bored. He had the most well manicured and least scarred hands out of his family.
(His sister bites her nails, and his brother used to get into so many fights that he ended up scarring his hands)
"You ok?" asked Rykah, letting the water drip off him.
“Yep. Can I come back now?”
"I'm the one who came out here" said Rykah.
“Whatever.” Will said(while the person writing him yells at herself).
(lol)
"Wanna go inside or what?" asked Rykah, "I mean, we were told to go to bed, but my mom has never cared that much as long as I'm quiet… and I'm not tired.."
“We don’t have to go to bed. Whatever you want to do is fine. It’s your house.”
"I don't know what to do though." said Rykah walking back inside and flopping on the mountain of blankets. "All I know is that I'm not tired, but I'm bored."
“You don’t have cards, I assume.”
"Unfortunately no" said Rykah with a sigh, pulling himself up.
Will thought for a second, before asking, “Any games at all?”
"Normally I have my art.." said Rykah, "but I'm drawing a blank.."
