"First Night"
This takes place a few months into Colson and Sebastien's relationship, and the first time Sebastien stayed over at the Graingers' home - prompted by a request from Toby, who just wanted to spend more time with Sebastien (and have pancakes).

It's a good thing that Sebastien is a quick study when it comes to parenting, because he sometimes winds up with an additional child to take care of.

"I hear a lot of movement in there," Sebastien teased with a playful grin. "When's the baby's due? Girl or boy? Any names in mind?"
Sebastien's good-natured teasing often got a giggle from Toby. Colson will surely think of a comeback eventually.

Wearing only an apron while baking, while dangerous, has the additional side benefit of making your guy forego grading papers and race home from work. Don't let the lovey dovey tanuki make you forget there's still another batch in the oven, Sebastien, though.

"Elephant pancakes! Elephant pancakes!" Toby squealed, in a way only children can on early Saturday mornings, knowing full well that his father's ability to shape pancakes into anything other than round was... lackluster.

Toby, it is *far* too early to be asking such questions, especially of Sebastien, who's still very new to parenting. You're going to break him, or at the very least send him straight to Awkwardtown.

One thing I always aspire to do in every issue is to add details that establish the world without explicitly drawing attention to them. I'm hardly upset that no one commented on this one, but look at the color of Toby's and Colson's illusions where they cross. Notice anything?
