"Samuel. Inside voice." Hips actually winces at that, and there's a strange ringing in the air, almost like tinnitus but not quite. Apparently in his excitement, Samuel has let loose with a string of plaga sonics, enough to make his mother's head ring. The noise cuts out half a second later.
"...What? You've never seen Star Wars? Oh my god, dude."
He's squirming in his seat now, blue eyes wide with shock. Like, he's heard of these rare and mythical beasts that have never seen Star Wars, but has never met one in the flesh. Hips has put her fork down and is staring at her boy expectantly.
"Sammy, you know better than this. Nexus rules, please."
"But mum! Star Wars!" Like that made it okay to point out gaps in people's multiversal knowledge.
"Samuel Miguel. Enough. Or I'll revoke dessert privileges after all."
Oooh, full name, he's in trouble now. Frankie is silent, like a spectator at a tennis match, eyes flicking back and forth between his mother and his brother. Sammy's pout is so much like Ramon's that it's almost heartbreaking.
