[This is a pretty good recipe! Hopefully the rest of the house will appreciate it - probably, since it isn't a total disaster.]

Um, sometimes, yeah. [It feels a little awkward talking about Jake, given Jake never actually liked him.] ... What happened with your dad?

Shh I have NO IDEA where Luz's dad is, its not been canonically told to us yet!

[imaglyphwitch]

[Luz was on hand to make sure it wasn't a disaster! That was at least what was good about watching her mom: she had a good idea about what she had to do so things didn't go wrong]!

Ok.

[Did she strike a nerve there]?

Not around anymore. It's just me and mom

[That DID strike a nerve for Luz, sadly. She did wish he was around, but that just wasn't the case anymore].

canon is rude and needs to come back right now

[Fern pauses, realizing the shift her in tone, and immediately knows to back off. It's fine, he gets it.]

Oh. Uh, sorry. [He shifts his weight from one foot to the other.] Dad stuff is complicated for me, too.

[It's more than ok, and she give Fern a reassuring smile].

It's fine Fern. Mom is all the adult I need. I just miss her a lot, you know? About as much as I miss Eda. It's because of her I'm so involved with the house and you guys, really. She's a really caring person.

[He musters a weak smile in return.]

Sure, sure. It's cool. It's good that you at least had her.

[imaglyphwitch]

I was lucky with a lot of that, sure. But now I have you guys, so. It doesn't hurt as bad as it could, you know?

[laminae]

[Oh, that makes Fern smile a little. He gets it, he really gets it.]

Yeah, I know.

[imaglyphwitch]

[Luz returned the smile, then gestured him over to the pot].

Congratulations, Fern. You've just made arroz con pollo. It smells delicious!
