Zenith smiles. "It's nice to meet you as well." She closes her eyes and smiles when she smells something. "Mmm... what's that smell?" She looks towards the kitchen.

[Jasper19]

Barry smiles " it's my mom's cookies they're mostly done " yes! he walks to the kitchen with her

[Sharidi37495]

Zenith smiles and looks around. She kisses Barry's cheek and she begins to help his mom clean up the kitchen.

[Jasper19]

Barrys mom gently pushes zenith away " oh no honey you're a guest you aren't doing anything have a cookie " she says pointing to the pan of cookies

Barry smiles and eats a cookie then begins to tell his dad about the "institute "

[Sharidi37495]

Zenith frowns faintly. "Oh no, it's fine. I love to clean," she smiles. "But if you insist," she sighs and gets a cookie. "Thank you," she smiles at Barry's mom, and carefully eats a cookie. She chews thoughtfully and she closes her eyes with a soft groan. When she swallows, she mutters, "Holy mother of children."

[Jasper19]

Barrys mom smiles " good? "

Barry smiles

[Sharidi37495]

Zenith licks the crumbs off of her lips and she smiles at Barry's mom. "You have a gift. A gods-given gift."

[Jasper19]

Barry's mom smiles " aww thank you and gods are you polytheistic ? "

Barry almost chokes on a cookie

[Sharidi37495]

Zenith smiles. "Yes ma'am, but I don't particularly associate with any one religion. I just study cultures and I adopt what makes sense to me. If you don't mind me asking, what about you?" She pauses and frowns faintly at Barry, and she rubs his back. "Teddy bear, are you okay?"

[Jasper19]

Barry nods " I'm ok " he said he had just been focusing too hard on a small detail

Marline smiles " oh were Catholic but we've relaxed in recent years we used to be very strict on Barry confession every Sunday and Wednesday that sort of thing " she says then hears zeniths nickname " teddy bear? " she says smiling

[Sharidi37495]

Zenith smiles gently at Barry. "If you're sure." She smiles and nods when Marline explains their personal evolution in their Catholicism, and she blushes, smiling sheepishly when she asks about her nickname, then she smiles at Barry. "He's very cuddly and makes me feel safe, much like a teddy bear in the middle of a storm." She thinks back on her words and she ducks her head shyly, blushing even deeper.

[Jasper19]

Marline nods and winks at zenith showing she understood

Barry looks at his mom " hey mom do you mind if you make a bag of cookies I want to bring them with me to the institute "

Marline nods " of course "

Barry looks at zenith and leans in a bit " for the record I love the nickname " he whispers to her I like being cuddly that's a first for me

[Sharidi37495]

Zenith smiles sheepishly at Marline, and she smiles wider when Barry talks to her. She kisses him gently. "Good, I called you that for the first time on our first date, remember? We were at the waterfall." She smiles brightly.

[Jasper19]

Barry kisses back gently as well" I remember "

Marline hands barry a bag full of cookies smiling " here you go son"

[Sharidi37495]

Zenith smiles, getting lost in his eyes when Marline came back. She smiles at the woman. "Thank you so much for hosting and for the delicious cookies."

[Jasper19]

Marline nods" of course it was a pleasure to see you " she says

Barry grabs the bag" thank you moms and it was good to see you to "

Marline smiles and begins to wave " bye bar bar and by Jen take care of him for me "

" bye Barry and jen!" his dad calls down

[Sharidi37495]

Zenith smiles. "Yes, ma'am, the pleasure was mine. Good-bye, Mr. Miller." She turns to Barry. "Ready?"

[Jasper19]

Barry nods" ready " he portals them back to the room taking off the glamour magic so he goes back to normal

[Sharidi37495]

Zenith releases a sigh of relief and she kisses him. "Your parents are really nice."

[Jasper19]

Barry smiles " thank you Its so hard keeping the truth from them "
