Kendall noted Ebony's pensive mood, and nudged her gently in silent inquiry.
Elizabeth and Atsuko fell back at last, taking a little time to relax in the next completed suite that they were now using as a break room.

Wouldn't you be... If you were hungrey..." Phoenix said as she held the bottle for Gryffin.
He soon stopped and sat back on his tires and let out a yawn and curled back up against Phoenix's side.

"Ken?" Ebony looked up with sad, green eyes, "Can I ask you a question? This may sound silly, but do you ever feel like you're being pushed away by somebody who thinks of you as family?"

"Yeah, I guess it's instinctual in all babies born," said Delfina.

"Probably is," said Phoenix as she settled back down and made sure that the blankets were still wrapped around Gryffin's tiny body.

Delfina smiled and stood up again, "Need some rest?"

Phoenix nodded. "I'm exhausted already..."

"Then I'll let you get some sleep," nodded Delfina as she turned to leave the suite, "And good luck with motherhood."

Ricardo settled down on the rug, letting Phoenix lean on him. He started to massage her behind her sideview.

"I've been through that with one of my sisters." Kendall answered. "But in that case, she was seeing some no-good guy and didn't realize what trouble she was getting into until almost too late. But I think it's because Phoenix needs to bond with her baby, and not many others besides Ricardo can really be in on that for the first few hours. Then she'll open up again."

Phoenix let out a contented sigh as the rubbing worked out some of the stiffness that she was now starting to feel.

((terribly sorry. I dozed off and when I woke I had paperwork to do... )) Raine grabbed the same brand of fuel for her father, just in case. "This should keep you hydrated. I'm glad you're feeling better." She set the can down in front of Doc and nuzzled his fender with a purr.

"That's true about the bonding," Melody agreed, "Give her time."
Ebony looked down, "I know, it's... just that I have a habit of mistaking something like this as rejection. I lived on my own for a long time, you know, so I have little idea what to do in a situation like this. All I'm feeling is very hurt right now."

"Just lean on me," Ricardo whispered as he continued to rub the area behind the mirror, "and relax. I'll concentrate on doing this."
* * * * *
Doc accepted the can, "Thanks, Raine."

Raine smiled as she did some acupressure on the old Hornet's back and roof after she climbed on top of him. Being so tiny did have some advantages after all, much to Raine's delight. "I guess it's a good thing I'm so tiny..." She flicked her mirrors happily.

"No problem..." Phoenix said as she closed her eyes slightly as Ricardo worked and kept her antenna near Gryffin.
