Phil sighed, staring at Wilbur and Tommy with slight disappointment. Of course, he wasn't really upset. Just disappointed.

Tommy's head hung low, his hair covering his face.

Phil really had to take him to get his haircut, it looked overgrown.

Wilbur just stood straight, averting his gave from Phil ever so slightly.

How did he always end up having to have a "talk" with them?

"Boys, I'm not mad. I just don't want you both going at it. Don't want to set someone off after a joke that went too far." Phil told them, keeping his tone light.

Tommy nodded silently, Wilbur doing the same.

He opened his mouth to speak again but got cut off.

"You guys are acting like it's a court case, or someone died. Quit it, you'll ruin my coffee break with that mood." Techno said bluntly, staring at them in disinterest before heading off to the kitchen and pulling out filters to make coffee.

"Techno, shh."

"Sorry Phil."

Wilbur butted in.

"Your cranky, need a bottle?" He grinned, teasing his brother as he confined on. "Lil baby man-"

"Wilbur I will attack you-"

"Lil baby man wants to fight!" He cooed.

Phil watched the situation, not caring to step in since Wilbur knew Techno's limits. Hopefully he didn't push it though, he seemed slightly playful today. Bit too much but that's okay, as long as he didn't seriously go too far.

He focused his attention on Tommy.

Tommy, the kid was quiet and kept his head down but he did shake a bit.

"Boys, take this outside yeah?"

Phil smiled when Wilbur started accusing him of apparently "sending him to his death."

"You just want Techno to spar me as revenge!"

"That'd seem nice actually-"

"SEE?!"

Wilbur's pleas of mercy fell on deaf ears as Techno dragged him outside the house.

Phil sighed, looking at Tommy once again.

"Something botherin' you Tom's?" He asked, worry lacing his tone.

Tommy shook at that, as if he was surprised.

"Oh-" Coughing into his hand, he replied again. "I'm fine I'm fine, just sluggish. Got woken up early and all that. Y'know it's terrible, I can't even imagine being those people that wake at the ass crack of dawn. Shit's awful," He rambled. Phil was a bit surprised when he didn't gasp for air. Hell, he talked a bit fast he couldn't catch onto much of it.

But he nodded in understanding anyway.

"Sorry about that mate, I know how that is. Wilbur doesn't like waking up early too," He chuckled, remembering how Wilbur got when he woke up for school. Always ready with an insult or some sassy comment.

Tommy nodded.

"Since we got some time, I wanted to ask a few things," Phil started off carefully, watching Tommy's reaction.
