Miryam's probably got poor Peter beside himself.

[He was pretty sure she had snuck off on the youngest member of their group and Peter was freaking out. He shouldn't laugh at stuff like that. Poor Peter.]

But I miss her too. And she probably misses her jungle gym.

[He laughs as he puts his arm around Judas.]

Do either of you want me to carry anything?

[Mary almost wishes to be there just to see Peter freaking out while she pets Miryam. Now that would be some breakfast entertainment.]

No, mine's just a new thing of grapeseed oil I can use on you later tonight~ [She found no shame in what she did, even though it wasn't anything terrible. Unless you could giving JC a good shoulder and back rub indecent.]

[You're all so cruel to the youngest of your lot. So cruel. Poor kid's far from home and trying to find Jesus Christ's kitten, give him a break!]

...

[Judas looks hard back at Mary when she sees that, in that tone, and for a moment, swears he sees red. He ends up actually holding out the bags.]

Head back. Forgot there's some stuff I need to do. [Very tightly spoken, not really looking at either of them. Mary's doing it on purpose, and he damn well knows it, but JC's blind to this kind of shit.]

[Yes oh yes he is. He might be able to see things others can't but it rarely centres around jealousies in his camp or anything towards himself.]

Don't take too long. We'll get the pancakes started.

[He gives Judas a squeeze on the upper arm and, bags in tow, takes Mary home. It's a very nice little walk back to the group actually and Thad beams when he sees them, getting the skillets ready while Jesus goes off to find Peter and the kitten. Naturally, it's up a tree.]

[Mary hadn't intended to make Judas leave. Just rile him up a little! She watches him storm off after taking the bag of strawberries, then looks to JC.]

We'll have to make sure to save him some should he not come back in time.

[Mary hangs back with Thad to help with the skillets, prepping the pancake mix and talking animatedly about the little kitty JC is off finding.]

[Judas wouldn't return until late into breakfast, staying on the edge of the camp, trying to figure out what to do. He doesn't want to be around her and JC won't listen to him about anything anymore. Fuck.

He'll open up a new pack, leaning back against a broken piece of wall, scowling at nothing but his thoughts.]

[Oh Judas don't be that way! Jesus left a spot for you and everything! When it seems like Judas is going to spend his time playing chimney and not eating, Jesus is going to call him out on it.]

Judas! I saved two strawberries for you!

[Come play with the kitten, currently wrangled up in Mary's skirt.]

[Mary's quite amused with Miryam, using her skirt as a toy until she gets tangled somehow in the fabric. Gathering the little beastie was a slight task, but she looks to JC offering Judas strawberries.]

...There are still some pancakes. I made them save some for you.

[Stop being moody over there and come eat.]

[The small bit of kindness makes Judas blink before he cautiously sits down.]

...Thanks. [He'll take the plate offered to him and dig in pretty readily, even as the kitten bounds over to him, trying to paw at a dread.]

[Obviously, Judas, Mary's not a bad person. Jesus doesn't really have the ability to pick 'bad' people anyway. Those he calls, he calls for a reason. Look at you, for example. JC snatches one of the strawberries from Judas' plate before a curious kitten can eat it and offers to feed it to his friend. Which is not weird, okay?]

'Aaah!'

[For someone that hung around with a bunch of former sinners, he sure did a lot of things that felt somewhat dirty. But, at the same time, not really. It was hard for Jesus to be dirty. Even his shirts seemed to defy dirt!]

[JC is between herself and Judas, and Mary's fine with that. There's half of a pancake left on her plate (the kitten was a welcomed distraction!) and when Judas takes his seat, Mary busies herself at eating it again.

Seeing JC offer to feed the fruit to Judas is amusing, so there's no hiding the smirk around her little fork at the sight.]

[Judas doesn't think too much about it as he leans over and takes the strawberry between his teeth, pulling back and reaching up to tug the little green leaves forward so he could hold it. Jesus' noises about the strawberries could be sinful, but he never thought of the man himself as such. Just... affectionate, yet somehow in a non-sexual way. Even when in the past it had driven Judas mad.]

They're actually pretty good. [He mutters after he finishes the first bite.]

Would we lie?

[Look at this grinning face as he snags an arm around dear Mary. Go on Mary, grin along with him! The kitten, however, has other ideas. The only problem is, when stealing pancakes, one should pick a slice smaller than one's body!]

[They're good because neither JC or Mary made them.]

Of course we wouldn't! Not about food at least.

[Mary leans into the arm pulling her close and grins up at him, looking quite content! There was a kitten, pancakes, and strawberries! Things were good this morning - until she spies little Miryam trying to make off with the last chunk of her pancake.]

Oh no you don't -- [She balances the paper plate carefully and picks up the kitten out of food range.] Little scavenger!

[Thankfully at least a few of the Twelve could manage to cook. Thaddeus was definitely the best among them.

Judas' lips lift a little at the sight of the kitten as he pointedly ignores Jesus holding Mary close. He has to or he's libel to just storm off again. He knows she's just trying to get in close to JC. She doesn't really care about him.]

Strawberries don't listen to people's decisions about them being good or not. Never know if you'll get bland ones.

[Perhaps one day, the degree of Judas' misplaced jealousy would bother him. Today is not that day. In fact, he's much too happy with James playing guitar and the strawberries and the kitten! He snags Miryam before she can get yelled at and feeds her little pieces of pancake too. He had no idea if that's what kittens eat, though.]

We ought to get moving.

Matthew has flyers for the next town already made up. And we've had a good breakfast. We can travel far today.

[It bothered Mary, but they already argued enough. She knew that not everyone was going to like each other, and settled with the fact that Judas was just always going to be suspicious and mean-spirited towards her. He was the only one that made her feel unwanted, but it wasn't enough to send her away!]

I'll tell the others to pack up if you want.

[Give Judas some alone time with JC, to keep him from feeling like Mary's hogging him so much. Or whatever he did when he brooded like a kid who had his favorite toy taken from him.]

[All he wanted was to protect Jesus. He's still sure that she's doing all of this for her own petty reasons, with no idea just how badly she could hurt him. On top of that, things are starting to get bigger and bigger around camp, putting him on edge.

He looks to Jesus, finishing up the last of his pancakes.]

The crowds are getting bigger and bigger recently. [He knows Simon's pleased as punch by it, everyone else seems to be, but how long before the Romans aren't happy with it? Or anyone?]

[Jesus put his arms around Mary as he thanked her, perhaps hugging her a little too long or too warmly but he was human and being human meant that, sometimes, he had favourites.]

Judas, it's the crowds we want. It means the Word is reading more people. It proves we're making a difference. Why does it scare you so?

[Mary goes and lets the others know that they were getting ready to leave for the next place. Sometimes she'll glance over at JC and Judas, hearing bits and pieces of the conversation.

Judas was sort of a nuisance to her because of how he spoke to her, but she tolerated him for JC's sake. That man was a sort of thorn in the group that everyone apparently learned to deal with. Or maybe that was just her.]

Can't you see it? [Judas looks to Jesus in confusion, brows pinching together.] The bigger we grow, the more the government and the priests are going to turn and look at us. You really don't think there's going to be issues if the crowds grow larger and larger?
