Gumdrop ambled into the nursery, her hair a mess and her eyes still squinty. She rubbed them.
Gumdrop didn't feel like eating breakfast this morning, not after being told before she went to bed what happened to Razz's shop last night. She climbed up onto her chair and stared at the table. She was too young to understand why bad things happened to good ponies. Gumdrop lifted her gaze from the table and watched Razz stare at the phone, with her big green curious eyes.

"What?" Razz looked up. "Oh, no. I'm OK, thanks. I had oatmeal." With a big sigh, he dialed the operator.
"Hi, I'd like the number to Great Farms Insurance." He paused. "Oh, wait." He looked around. "Hey, Treat, can I have that notepad? Thanks. OK..." He returned to the operator and scribbled something down. Then he hung up and dialed again. "Hi, I need to report a fire. Razzaroo's... Oh, you heard about it? They are? OK. Thanks." He hung up.

Swirl tiptoed in, appearing surprisingly fresh and bouncy. "Goodmorning everyone". She put her face on Gumdrop's back for a semi pony hug.
Then she eyed Razz curiously, almost like she had some sort of girly spidey sense. Then she smiled.
She wiggled past Sister TT to get some biscuits and jam. "Gumdrop honey, what can I get you?" She paused, realizing how glum the little pony really looked. "No skipping breakfst, either."

Coon gave Kimono the same odd look he returned to her. It was en expression of mild defense, a sort of 'what?' look. She'd all ready been assumed her true gender by Inti the day before, and Coon didn't like to think it was happening again. Or that Kimono was suspicious of a possible thief.
Ignoring Kimono, Coon turned back to TT and smelled the air. Whatever the stallion was baking, Coon sure hoped to have her share of it.

"I'm gonna..." Razz looked around, realizing no one was really listening to him anyway. "Go across the street." He sighed and headed out the door, leaving his uncooked oatmeal behind.

Kimono smiled awkwardly, chuckling slightly to try and keep a good nature between them. Especially given the unpleasant circumstances, he wasn't about to make an enemy. The purple stallion looked away from Coon to avoid any further misunderstanding.

Golden eyes followed Razz's back until the purple stallion was gone from Coon Skin's sight. Her eyes than looked down to the abandoned bowl of food.
After a long moment of silence, Coon spoke. "Do you think he's going to finish that?"
In Coon's book, uncooked oatmeal was better than her cans of beans and corn.

Bellaluna walked very quietly towards where Gumdrop was sitting, a frown clear on her face. She climed uneasily onto the chair beside the foal and watched her for a moment before reaching out to give her friend a big hug.
Turning to look up at the older ponies, Bella squinted in the bright light, still half asleep herself. She yawned before resting her head on the table and closing her eyes slightly.

Aww, poor Razz. I wish I knew how to perk him up, but that's always been Kail's department. Swirl sighed, and she clutched some tempting breakfast items and sat down near Bella and Gumdrup. "Goodmorning bed heads. Time to eat before we go play." The smell of smoke was still heavy in the air, chances were it had imbedded itself in the nursery and a lot of cleaning was ahead of them. Swirl thought it might be a good idea to take at least some of the foals away from the nursery today, rather then let them stare out the window across the street.
Treat meanwhile had picked up the bowl of dry oatmeal. "Uhm....maybe we should save it for him?" He put some plastic wrap over the dry grains and set it aside. The guy had just lost his home, no reason he should lose his breakfast too. It sounded like he'd called an insurance place, so hopefully everything would be set right again soon.
"I have some apples and berries in the oven. Anyone want some? I guess I could make toast, too."

Whisperwind looked up at Treat.
"Yes, I´d like an apple, please."

"Oh, yeah, sure Whisperwind." Treat pulled the fruit out of the oven, noting with satisfaction that everything was nice and caramelized and goopy and sweet looking. He spooned some apple slices on a plate, and handed it over with a fork.
He was hit with a momentary sense of vertigo - here he was in a new place (and already finding himself more emotionally invested then he'd planned on), with suspicions of a new evil, and making breakfast like everything was normal. He shook his head slightly, causing his hair to tumble into his eyes.
"Anyone else?"

"Thanks", said Whis gratefully. She took it.

Coon watched silently and sadly as Treat decided that the oatmeal would be saved. The look was almost the same given to her lost chance at Inti's bill money the other day. Almost.
That, however, was swiftly solved as Treat offered something else. More likely this would be than the oatmeal anyway. Certainly the masculine mare would not pass up a chance to free load and get a good meal. "Dish me up too, Treat.," she tried to sound eager, but not so eager and happy as to make her stick out of the somber mood of every one else.

Treat smiled at Coon, trying to get over any odd feelings and just settle in. "Sure. Berries too?" Treat spooned some of the hot fruit on a plate, noticed that Coon looked pretty eager, and spooned some more on. "Toast?"
When the plate was perfect he handed it over to Coon. "Hope it's ok."
He leaned against the counter and stretched, thinking to himself. "Hey Sister, when more of the younger ones wake up and eat, think I should take them to the park? The mood here is a little...you know." Plus maybe I could go with Kail...
Swirl smiled at Sister TT, sometimes he was pretty smart. Sometimes. "Yes, if they would like to go. There might be rainbows today, if we're lucky."

Whisperwind looked up from her plate. Rainbows sounded lovely.
"Is there a park?" She asked with intrest. She finished her apple. "... could I have some toast please, TT?"
