Everyone, but Drift thought that splashing in the pond was a good idea so he looks like a giant talking to Haven here.

Meanwhile these guys are actually having fun

"I'm fine." Haven whispered barely audible.

"No, you're not and neither is the pale one over there. I get that she likes him, but I can't be the only one that sees her trying to separate him from the group and glaring at the two of you."

"She's just jealous." Finn said dismissively. "She'll get over it or he'll get tired of it."

"Of course she's jealous - I have a nicer ass than she does." Haven said.

Ness and Finn stared at him in disbelief for a second and then busted out laughing.

"Right you are boyo." Ness said, wiping tears from his eyes.

"Let’s grab Drift and Phoenix and go get ice cream and check out the topiary exhibit while Andie distracts the interlopers." Haven said. 

"That sounds fun." Ness said.

"You're glaring." Haven whispered to Ness.

"Of course I am. It’s my birthday trip and you lads invited the walking dick and his new girlfriend and now it's not my day anymore. I mean I sucked it up for his birthday." Ness complained.

"You're just mad that Phoenix is distracted." Finn teased.

"Phoenix isn't the only one distracted. I understand it when he does because they told him to keep an eye on Orion since he can't cover the rent, but the rest of the lads…" Ness frowned. "Maybe I should just go home? Watching him hurt my friends so he can play with a girl is pissing me off."

"I'm fine." Haven whispered barely audible.

"My babies are back!" Callista squealed, hugging Orion and Phoenix. 

"Hi Mom."

"I missed y'all," Phoenix said. "And you're cooking."

"Orion isn't feeding you?"

"I am, it's just you can't get all the same ingredients there so it doesn't taste the same." Orion protested. 

"Phoenix!" Lorelei squealed, running over and hugging him.

"Okay that hurts." Orion said as his sister ignored him. 

Luna laughed, hugging Orion. "You know Lorelei plays favorites."

"It's not my fault he's nicer than you are." Lorelei said as the twins swapped places.

Drift sighed. "Busy. I spent the first few days with my mom and her side of the family, then there was the holiday party for Pacha's company, then I went to Cerberus Bay with my dad's side of the family to visit the Aether side of the family because it was their turn this year, then it was back to Halcyon and a very dull very raw New Years party with my Kingfisher grandparents which included attempts to set me up with girls and complaints about my singleness." He turned to Orion. "Did you miss me?"

"Yeah," Orion said playfully, slapping his ass.

"Did you miss him or his ass?" Ness muttered.

"Orion's been celibate the whole break so it's a tough call." Phoenix joked.

"I doubt that." Drift said.

"Oh, I am deeply unpopular back home, so getting any is not an option. The Fates have blessed me in Pendragon."

"Ewww." Ness moaned.

"You started it." Orion retorted 

"Let’s not start fighting right off the bat please." Finn begged.

Lorelei moaned and flopped into his lap. "Everything's wrong, and going out helps."

"If somethings wrong you can always talk to me instead of clubbing. This isn't actually solving anything Lorelei."

"But you're not here. Even if you were, you aren't actually willing to give me what I need from you. Like this isn't helping. I want you to love me and someday get married and have kids. And you can't do that. This worried big brother thing just hurts."

"That doesn't mean I don't care."

"Whatever, I'm really tired. Let me sleep for a bit, okay?"

"Yeah," Phoenix sighed. What was he going to do with these Royale kids?

“Are you getting chased by fans who want a piece of the sons of Spirits of Jupiter too? Or is Orion just special?” Phoenix asked and Orion moaned. 

“At first, but they give up once you’ve turned enough of them down a few times.”

“See that’s the problem - Orion never turns anyone down.” Phoenix said.

Orion glared.

“Dude no!” Mars moaned.
