In the kitchen, Roxy started to boil some water as soon as the washing up was done. Callisto didn't say a word, simply ducking to the storage room under the stairs and removing a bunch of small collapsible tables she set next to the couches. Vivian was sitting down on the couch with Sylvie on her lap like some kind of shield, Bruce still wasn't saying anything…
The silence was cut by the shrieking of the kettle. Kat didn't flinch, but only because she was able to hear the pressure boiling and had been watching out for it. Sylvie was fine as well, but Vivian jumped slightly, making Sylvie's indifference somewhat irrelevant. Callisto, Bruce and Roxy were able to ignore the sound.
