Midnight Manor Kitchen, Way Too Early in the Morning, Thursday

[moreofaponchoguy]

Cal didn't sleep well on the best of nights, but the past few days and weeks had left him with a lot to think about. Conversations with Liliana about setting the rules of the Order aside and forging forward on his own path, and the inane messages he'd received yesterday were one thing. Getting to see Kamala's home was another. The colors and the music and the happiness had been contagious, and all Cal could think about was how much the Mantis crew would have loved it, which made him think about how they were all stuck at home without him, like in danger, while he was dressing up and going to parties. The guilt churning in his stomach had kept him up, and after tossing and turning, he'd given up and gone into the kitchen for a snack. Cheese was a cure for all ills, right?

[Expecting one, but open for anyone else who can't sleep!]
