Yeah, I guess I do. [ a frown as he glances to the TV, which is off. ]

[She places two plates down with waffles. That's right she's going to try to stomach this food.]

Do you want to watch TV while we eat?

Uh. Sure. [ he turns on the TV, not really paying attention to where it lands. then picks up his plate of eggos, carefully pushing them into small pieces with his fork ]

Thank you.

You're welcome. [She glances over at his plate before copying what he is doing.]

So I haven't really had these before. Do most people like them?

[ that causes a small, amused snort. ]

Yes, Elektra, most people like them. Have you never had waffles before?

[Elektra shoots him a look biting into a piece of it out of spite.]

I've been on a strict diet since I was a toddler. Waffles don't exactly fit into it.

[She sulks for a moment before adding.] I might have had couple of times when I was very little. My mother and I used to sneak away from our bodyguards together for fun and she'd let me eat whatever I wanted until they found us again.

[ His face falls a little, mabe a bit sympathetic. ]

I don't know the meaning of the word 'diet.' [ stone-faced as he bites into a blueberry wedge ]

[She grins.] I figured that out a long time ago. You probably couldn't survive an hour on what I eat in an entire day.

I couldn't survive without doughnuts, period.

I don't know how you do it.

[ head tilt, and more waffle nomming. ] Do what?

Eat so much food.

Why do you think I live in Miami, for the scenery? [ a shrug ]

I always thought it was the warm weather.

It's definitely the food first, then the weather.

At the risk of sounding like a girl, how do you keep your figure?

I have one word. [ takes another bite of syruppy delicious Eggo ] Kids.

[She laughs.] Kids? Really?

Kids. Really. They take a lot out of a person. [ always so deadpan. ]

I believe you. [Dexter you can never get the meaning behind things. It amuses her.]

It's just not the kind of answer you expect to get from a father.

I haven't met many fathers of three, have you?

I haven't met many fathers who even bother with one child much less three. [She shakes her head.]

The fathers I met usually just pass their kids off to the nearest boarding school or full time nanny.

[ Dexter gets srsfais now, putting down his fork. ]

Kids matter. Sometimes, I think they're the only ones who do.

[Elektra pokes at her plate absently.]

I can't say I disagree completely. They have endless possibilities and can survive just about anything.

[She hits her fork against the plate absently twice.] But you know those kids grow up eventually and some of them become really amazing adults. I'm sure your kids will be that way.

They're already amazing. But I hope you're right.
