[img]http://i.imgur.com/ldhSAqU.png[/img][/center]Philly and her family had claimed a place at a one of the two tables for themselves. Both Babs and Lynn were calm and happily eating dinner. Even this late at night their stomachs were in full swing. And speaking of stomachs, both Steve and Devin were shoving food into their faces like it might vanish at any moment.

"[color=82ca9d]Slow down or you'll choke[/color]." Admonished Philly to her male relatives. The two rolled their eyes practically simultaneously. There might have been a mumbled sarcastic [i]Yes Mom[/i] but it was hidden by Vince's rather... interesting arrival.

The younger boy pulled out a chair, sat down and removed his hat, placing it very nicely on the table. What he did next completely belied his seemingly benign actions. Without any warning or indication Vince let his head [i]slam[/i] onto the table.

Philly jumped a little, startled. Even her siblings and cousins stopped shoving food in their faces to stare at Vince. The boy was seemingly frozen in place. The four Moores (and the one White/Moore spawn) just stared, unable to do much. Then he lifted his head and looked right at Philly.

Philly blinked at Vince. She obviously was catching the end of a conversation. Not that start. She had had practice with her siblings with this. The trick was saying the right thing without any freaking context. 

"Because you're a masochist?" Devin pipped in before Philly could grab at any response. 

The sixteen year old turned to glare at her cousin. She grabbed his plate and pulled it away from him. He let out a small cry and lunged after the plate. Steve, always up for anything, plucked the plate from Philly and lifted it over his head, out of Devin's reach.

The two satisfactory distracted, Philly turned her attention back to Vince. 

"[color=82ca9d]Ignore him. He's a moron.[/color]" Philly mocked whispered with a mischievous look. She obviously meant for Devin to hear. In addition to trying to cheer up Vince. Out of the corner of her eye she could see Devin make a face out of her before going back to trying to get his food. Steve looked awfully smug about the whole thing. 

Anyways, Philly must have done something right because he offered her a small smile. 

"Thanks." Vince said before turning his head. Obviously he had spotted one of his other friends.

"[color=82ca9d]Not a problem.[/color]" Philly said right before Steve tipped Devin's plate. She leapt back as a small egg roll escaped and tried to launch itself at her head. Vince excused himself before he too became a target for wayward food.
