Damn. That really knocked it all out of him--no one... NO ONE... really ever spoke to him like that... Well, Flame would, but it was always in a much sweeter, nicer tone. Not like this. Sora and Rhe, the both of them, had some sort of vendetta against him. If it wasn't for his daughter, he would have left immediately, but presently, he knew of no other way to Noemie from her crystalline prison. He would just have to suck it up and take the abuse.
"Thank you." A fake smile flashed across his pale face as he took the plate from Rhe.
Frenchie took a bite, and his fake smile turned to that of a real nature. "Wow, this is delicious." He wanted to ask 'what's it made out of,' but feared the answer that Sora would give, so he said nothing. This had been one of the first times in a long while that he was actually able to enjoy a meal. Flame's home cooked dinners were delicious, but he always came back home so late that he really had no one to enjoy them with; a dinner alone was THAT much less enjoyable.
"If you hate it so much, then why do you continue to run the Institute?"

The air around the picnic area seemed to suddenly drop a few degrees as Sora stiffened at Victor's last question. Rhe would cast worried eyes on her still lying-flat-on-her-face mother figure, the lolita girl's fingers grabbing at foods nervously as her her heart thumped in her chest.
Not the best of questions to ask the moody Sora who oftentimes would have a tight realistic mask that everything was alright.
It's not and almost never is.
"Ne, 'kaa-san, Rhe knows that onii-chan is channeling your energy to revitalize and manifest Noemie so.... eat okay?"
"Aaahhh?"
The temperature would plummet back to normal as Sora turned over with a look of a disgusted wtf on her face.
"What are you talking about? Rhu and Nomie are right there behind you!"
Sure enough, Rhu was walking towards the picnic goers looking a little worse for ware. The silver haired crimson eyed male would sigh and shake his head as a firey themed little girl ran towards the people.
"Man, and my astrochart indicated that someone else is coming too... ******** man. RHE! Gimme that bag of chips and that platter of layered bean dip! And don't stint on my coffee!"

Flame looked up at that question, her entire body freezing. Sora did this job because she had too, she was the only one that knew the secret of how to free the rusaians. Sora had to find a way to bring Ruesaiah back to it's fomer glory.
But would Victor understand that? Of course not, he only got that grocers job because Flame told him he needed a job or she'd kick him out, and he use to love modeling, to him not enjoying something meant not doing it. God who didn't know better then she? Flame rose and shook her head, about to speak when suddenly Sora said nomie.
Blinking Flame turned to look and gasped, "Oh...she's beautiful" Flame whispered, smiling happily, oh she was so cute, the bright orange eyes, that adorable hair style. Flame looked over to Victor, then back to Mie, the neko reached over to Sora, giving her shoulder a squeeze before she got the scary salior mouth woman the coffee herself.
"Would you like anything Rhu?" Flame offered, taking on a new role, to make sure the two (three?) people that brought Mie to be were happy and comfortable, that was her job, to make life easier on them so they will want to continue this work.

Victor understood not particularly enjoying one's job; his current job as a carpenter was proof enough--he hadn't even told his family about it yet. Thankfully the pay was good, though, so he was able to bring in a good extra amount to stash away for God knows what. Always worked to have a little backup money, especially with a daughter on the way.
At the mention of Noémie, Victor's mind blanked out all other words of Sora and Rhe, until he heard Flame comment on how 'beautiful' something was. He whipped his head around to see the little girl toddle over, and he bolted forward to scoop her in his arms; there was no need to ask, this was his beautiful, perfect little girl. "Noémie... Ma petite fille précieuse. Je suis si heureux que je puisse finalement vous tenir dans des mes bras. (Noémie... My precious little daughter. I'm so glad that I can finally hold you in my arms.)" The new father couldn't contain it, he started to speak in his native tongue as he nestled his face against his daughter.
"Daddy...?"
Victor supported her head as he held her so that he could stare directly into her eyes. Her eyes, hair, lips... it was all so perfect... so real. "Daddy's here. I'm here." In his excitement, he did not notice the slight glaze over her otherwise vibrant eyes, nor the fact that her pupils did not follow his. He had no clue that his daughter was indeed blind.
"Thank you Sora... Rhu... Rhe." The man politely nodded his head at each of them as he said their names. "I guess we'll be leaving now...?"
Noémie clutched little fistfuls of Victor's shirt as he coddled her, trying not to fall. The man felt so warm... and smelled so comforting. He was her Daddy, and he too, was perfect. She did not mourn for the lost gift of sight, for she could not remember a world without it. Instead, she took in the sounds and smells of the picnic, of her new family... it made her very happy, indeed. "Thank you~" The tiny child had only a small comprehension of the phrase, but she repeated it after her father, knowing that it was the right thing to say; these people were so nice from freeing her... letting her out of that dark prison... though even the memories of the crystal were slowly fading from memory, and would be gone in a few days.

Truth be told, the institute owner felt drained and she tried to cover that. The dark themed woman barely took notice as she was handed coffee by Flamefire, opting to sip the liquid with a drone like stare.
It was a mistake to have taken that offer. Even if it was one of her only options of gaining what she wanted...
The woman startled, spilling her cofee over her hands as she felt a hand suddenly place itself on her shoulder. It was Rhu and in his crimson eyes shinned genuine and deep concern. Concern for the blind child and concern for the woman who had to drain her own energy and magical buildup to act as a catalyst to summon forth the newest reborn Ruesaian.
"Meh," she grunted, waving off both Rhu's caring eyes and the frenchman's words.
"Yea, you. Beat it. Just looking at you is giving me migranes... NO WAIT! On second thought, stay and eat. Nomie love, come hither me child. Let aunty Sora get a good look at you,"
Her voice softened to a level that only Rhu and Rhe heard at home when they were younger. The tenderness that dripped from Sora was sweet and caring, emanating motherly love. This was a being that she had exchanged her energies to bring forth. This was a Ruesaian that she herself bought forth. This was...
A New Beginning.
