MHA #13 - Saturday Morning

[itsananomaly]

When Cutter woke up Saturday morning, he realised that he wasn’t at his usual home but he didn’t think anything of it and instead got up to explore this new place that he had ended up in. Eventually he decided he wanted breakfast but then realised that he wasn’t tall enough to reach the cabinets, that was when he spotted something much more exciting than breakfast.

“Oh wow a dinosaur!” he exclaimed as he spotted Rex who was happily chirping and eating from his food bowl, all thoughts of breakfast momentarily forgotten.

[for one and up early for SP!]

It had been a long, so very very long couple of weeks since Connor had been called back to help with things over at Prospero. Things had finally calmed down and he was glad to be getting back- back to Fandom, back to the apartment, back to Cutter...

Connor smiled as he fished the key out of his pocket and unlocked the door. He heard Rex chirping happily as he opened the door.

"Hey Rex buddy it's me how you been buddy..." Connor walked in and every thought he had died when he looked up and saw Nick, a much smaller Nick, there with Rex.

[itsananomaly]

Cutter blinked when he heard someone come in to the room, "is that his name?" he said excitedly as he looked from Connor and back to Rex, "hi Rex,"

Rex kept chirping as he flew happily over to Connor, "are you my babysitter?" he asked curiously, maybe that was why he was in this strange new place?

[anomaly_research_nerd]

Connor blinked for a moment as he took in the sight, a small sigh escaping him as he wondered if he missed out on the wee-tinny-ness because he had been gone for so long. He rubbed the back of his head and gave a small smile as he walked in, put his bag on the table and closed the door.

"Aye, this is Rex," he said with a smile as he looked at Nick and then laughed a little as Rex scrambled over and jumped up onto his shoulder, giving him a 'welcome home' nuzzle and chirp.

"And my name is Connor. I'll be keeping an eye on you" he added with a smile.

[itsananomaly]

"Oh cool," Cutter smiled, "my name's Nick," he told Connor, "I woke up here in this place, I wanted breakfast," he admitted, "but the cabinets are too tall,"

[anomaly_research_nerd]

"Well, Nick... How about we take care of that and I make us some breakfast" Connor said as he watched Rex jump off his shoulder and into Nick's arms. "You like pancakes?"

[itsananomaly]

Cutter giggled as he caught Rex in his arms and began giving him scritches, "I love pancakes," he told Connor excitedly, "I would really like pancakes please,"

[anomaly_research_nerd]

Connor grinned, hearing Lester's groaning in his head and he reached out and gave Rex a quick head scritch and then headed to the kitchen.

"You look like a kid who likes chocolate chips in their pancakes," he said with a small wink as he started to get everything set out.

[itsananomaly]

Cutter giggled and followed Connor into the kitchen as he held Rex in his arms, "I do like chocolate chips in my pancakes," he told Connor, "can I have a lot of chocolate chips please?" he asked with wide eyes.

[anomaly_research_nerd]

"Oh I think we can arrange that!" he said with a grin as he walked into the kitchen to get things ready.

"You want to help me feed Rex too?"

[itsananomaly]

Cutter's eyes were wide at that, "yes please!" he said excitedly as Rex chirped happily at the mention of food, "what food does Rex eat?"

[anomaly_research_nerd]

"Rex is an omnivore mostly herbivore. That means he eats a little of everything but mostly plants. He loves salad" Connor said as he smiled and reached over and gave Rex head scritches.

"While I get these pancakes started, Nick, there should be a container in the fridge with salad. Can you find that for me so Rex can have his breakfast?"

[itsananomaly]

Cutter nodded, "I can do that," he assured Connor as Rex climbed onto his shoulders so that he could open the fridge and get out the container that Connor mentioned, "I found it," he said triumphantly as he pulled out the the container, "where does Rex like to eat his food?" he said as he looked around for a spot that he could put it down for Rex.

[anomaly_research_nerd]

While the fridge was open Connor grabbed the milk ad eggs and then went to the pantry for the box of pancake mix.

"Aye you found it. Rex likes to eat on the floor over on his mat" Connor nodded towards the two bowls sitting on the kitchen floor. "You can also fill the one with some fresh water for him if you want."

[itsananomaly]

"Okay, come on Rex," Cutter said eagerly as he led them over to where Rex's mat was and placed the salad in one of the bowls, Rex chirped happily and eagerly flew down to the bowl and began to eat it at, "I'll fill up the water," he told Connor as he picked up the other bowl and carefully held it under as he began to fill it up, "like this?" he asked, checking to make sure that he was doing it right.

[anomaly_research_nerd]

"You are a natural Nick! You sure you arent already taking care of dinosaurs in your spare time?" Conor asked with a chuckle.

He started the batter for the pancakes and smiled as he watched Rex and Nick, not able to help but think about other interactions they had had and wondering if Rex sensed this was the same Nick he liked so much, just a little smaller.

[itsananomaly]

Cutter giggled, "no, Rex is the only dinosaur I've ever met," he admitted, "I always wanted a pet but mum and dad don't want them, they're too busy," he said softly, "but Rex is really cool," he said as he watched Rex happily drink and eat his breakfast.

[anomaly_research_nerd]

"Well, I bet someday you are going to be a dinosaur, genius! You are a natural already" Connor said, earning a happy chirp from Rex.

[itsananomaly]

"That would be amazing!" Cutter grinned, "I want to learn everything there is to know about dinosaurs," he declared, "and be a pal ... a pal...I want to study dinosaurs," he finished when he realised he couldn't say the word palaeontologist.

[anomaly_research_nerd]

Connor laughed and put a hand on Nick's shoulder and the reached for the bag of chocolate chips to dump them in the bowl. "You study hard you will be great at it! I've always loved dinosaurs too. They are amazing arent they?"

[itsananomaly]

Cutter grinned at that as he watched Connor grab the chocolate chips, "they're amazing," he agreed, "I always liked the Brac...Brachi...the long neck dinosaur," he revealed shyly, "they're my favourite, what's your favourite dinosaur?" he asked curiously.

[anomaly_research_nerd]

"Oh the brachiosaurus are really cool- biggest creature to ever live. I have always thought the Dilophosaurus was cool! And for non-dinos... Trilobites are really neat." Connor grinned as he watched Nick and held out the bag to pour some of the chips into his hands.

[itsananomaly]

"Tri...trilo...trilobites," Cutter repeated as he sounded out the word and he eagerly held out his hands for some chocolate chips, "I don 't think I've come across them yet, the sound really cool though," he told Connor.
