'It's too quiet around here with almost everyone gone...' Demi found herself thinking with a frown. She had grown quite used to a house full of people since she had moved in with Strafe. There was always something going on: training to be done, work or some kind of mission needing handled, or just general silliness. This quietness... it didn't feel right. In such a short time she had gone from an introvert to the very core to such a social animal - at least when it came to their little family - that the quietness just didn't sit well with her at all.
She missed Strafe, Kaia, and Momaru, and also worried for their safety. But, she did well to hide it. Iro was newer to this life than the rest of them so she was sure he worried the most of all: worried that something would happen to his new family. This very reason was why she had stayed behind. A sitter would have been easy enough to find but it hadn't felt right. Demi cared far too much about her children for that. He needed her here so here she was: even if she would worry to the core about everyone else until she saw them all safely returned home.
"Iro dear, are you hungry?" Demi called out, figuring her son had to be around somewhere close by. Demi herself didn't exactly keep a healthy eating schedule - though it was something she was definitely working on for Strafe's sake since as a medic she knew it likely bothered him she ate so little and so sparingly - but she tried her hardest to make sure everyone else ate when they needed to and as often as they needed to. Even as she waited to hear a response she made her way into the kitchen and got busy pulling a variety of foods out of the fridge in preparation of combining them into something eatable and delicious: thankfully she was a rather skilled cook despite how little she ate herself. Like all Malkavia she tended to go from muse to muse as the whim moved her and for a while she had taken a great interest in cooking, enough of an interest that she became good at it.
As Demi busied herself with grabbing a variety of pans and cooking utensils she would need she thought about the other purpose for having this little sit down meal instead of going out somewhere to eat: she wanted to have a heart to heart with him. She wanted to make sure that Iro was okay with everything and settling in nicely. She especially wanted to know how he felt about everyone leaving: bottling in emotions and thoughts wasn't a good thing for anyone.
