Elle got up and dried himself off, dressing into a tan t-shirt and plaid PJ pants afterward. He came out of the bathroom barefoot and drying his hair with the cyan towel on his head. He walked down the stairs that lead right into the living room.

Vlalan had the TV on the local news channel and was watching the weather at the moment. Elle stopped and looked at the TV.

"A high wind watch is in our area for tonight. Highs tonight around 42; lows sitting at 38. Tomorrow expect some clouds with breaks for sunshine in the afternoon. Winds at 5-10miles per hour with gusts at 20miles per hour. High tomorrow at 56; low at 48."

"Sounds like it'll be cold tomorrow." Vlalan said, turning to Elle when the teen walked behind the couch.

Elle nodded. "It's still early spring so you can't expect anything less."

"Are you working in the garden tomorrow?"

"Yes."

"Then you'd better rest up."

Elle stopped at the doors to the kitchen and looked at Vlalan. "I'll go to bed when I'm good and ready!"

Vlalan raised a brow as Elle disappeared into the kitchen. "Stubborn about everything." He smiled a bit, "This might be too easy."

Elle came back out and sat next to Vlalan facing the TV with a bowl of hot oatmeal and cinnamon-sugar and honey on top.

"That smells good!" Vlalan said, leaning over to Elle. Elle put a hand on Vlalan's face and pushed him back.

"It's mine."

Vlalan frowned, "Not too big on sharing are you?"

Elle ate quietly not replying.
