The four entered the cozy little diner, immediately being entranced by the savory aroma that lingered in the diner.

The diner was not too barren but also not too busy, creating a much more peaceful and calm atmosphere compared to the other diners they passed.

"Hello there!" A waitress approached them with a energetic smile "Welcome to PrimRose's diner and cafè!" The waitress welcomed them, keeping her positive attitude.

"Hello, table for four please"

The waitress lead them to a booth at the other side. She handed them four menus before leaving and letting them choose what they wanted to get.

"Aaah- I'm so hungry" Phil laughed slightly at his youngest.

"Yeah yeah, that's why we're here, remember?" Phil replied, as if he was talking to a 5 year old. Tommy huffed at this but said nothing and continued to scan over the menu.

After a while, the waiter had came back and took their orders.

"Great! Should be served in about 20 minutes or so!" Was the last thing the waiter had said to them before leaving.

The four had started to talk about random stuff, unaware of the newcomers that had come in.

"By the way, Dad, why didn't you use your necklace to look for him back then?" Wilbur suddenly asked, grabbing Phil's attention.

The other two stayed quiet, as they were also curious on as to why Phil didn't use the necklace way before.

"Well, I did. It was the first thing I did but when I had used it, it had suddenly started glitching and would not give me the proper coords." Phil explained, taking off the necklace and placing it on the table.

"Huh, Why?" Tommy asked, tilting his head slightly in confusion.

Phil gave him an awkward smile "To be honest, I'm not entirely sure. I have a couple of theories as to why but there isn't actual concrete evidence to support the claims"

Techno propped his arms on the table, leaning forward slightly "Oh? What are your theories?" He asked, interest lacing his usual monotone voice.

Phil made a thinking pose "Well one of them is that he or the necklace must've been in a different dimension. This thing is pretty old-school so it can't actually track the other person when they are in a world other than the overworld." He explained.

"Huh, I guess that kinda makes sense.." Wilbur muttered, staring down at the necklace.

"Yeah, because like it started working again when he was in the overworld- so it's probably the most logical reason we can come conclusion to" Wilbur added, connecting the possible dots together.

"Exactly- but still, we can always just ask him as soon as we meet him again" Phil chimed, grinning at the thought of meeting Grian again.

"Hey Phil?" Techno started, looking at Phil with some slight hesitance.

Phil hummed in question, non-verbally telling Techno to continue.

"Aside from our uncle, do you know any other surviving Avians from your clan?" He asked.

Phil pondered the question for a moment "Uh, no, atleast not that I know of- as far as I'm concerned, it's only me and him who survived." The other three looked a bit sullen, probably must have felt bad for the other fallen avians. Phil offered them a small smile.

"But still, I'm not entirely sure so..." he trailed off, hoping that would cheer up his sons.

And so all 4 of them fell into casual conversation, talking about everything and nothing at the same time.

At some point, the waitress had returned with their food and Technoblade looked at Tommy betrayed as Tommy happily munched on his ordered pork curry (Wilbur payed him to order the pork special)

"How could you, Toms, I trusted you" Came Technoblade's betrayed voice, Wilbur grinned evily at that.

"Well then, atleast now we know who Tommy's favorite brother is" for dramatic effect, he evily laughed afterwards. Phil rolled his eyes fondly at their antics.

"Pff, Tommy's taste is goin' bland if you're his favourite brother" Techno replied, the monotone in his voice making Tommy snicker.

"Wh- hey! Don't laugh!" Wilbur huffed out while Techno smirked smugly.

"Phiiiiil they're bullying meeee~" Wilbur whined, acting like as if they were still only young child rather than a 20 year old teen.

Phil snickered at that "Stop fighting you two, let's try to atleast have dinner in peace, yeah?" Wilbur pouted a bit at that, nevertheless he continued eating his dinner in peace.

The family was like they were in their own bubble, paying no mind to the other people in their surroundings, they know nobody's going to try and harm them due to the fact that this part of the town was pretty peaceful.

So they let their guards down temporarily, enjoying the relaxing atmosphere of this nice restaurant.

At first glance, you might just think that they were a normal family with normal lives and does normal everyday stuff.

But don't let that deceive you. They might seem all nice and warm on the outside but they have seen and done things no avid human could bear.

Yet they continued to eat, seemingly like a normal family, the sounds of the people chatters accompanied the occasional ring from the front door.

"So anyways I told Ranboob that his name is now Boob boy." Tommy rambled on as he explained to Techno why he kept calling him boob boy.

"Uhuh 's that so?" Came his monotone response. Tommy nodded proudly as if calling his friend such a vulgar nickname was so accomplishing.

Philza laughed slightly at the story before a fond smile rested on his face. He looked out the window, staring at his reflection for a while, taking in the wings that rested on his back.

His smile softened as he remembered how much Grian lived to hide in his wings in the past as he played hide and seek with the other kids.

He wonders how his reunion with his brother will go. Would it be awkward? He hopes not.

"-il, Phil! Dad!" The sound of Wilbur calling his name finally registered in his head.

"Huh? Oh sorry, what's up?" He turned his attention to them.

"Your necklace is acting really weird."

Phil looked over to his necklace and paused. It was shining brightly, flickering. A memory comes to him.

A memory of him cheating on their game of hide and seek, using the necklace to track Grian. He stiffled his laugh as the necklace blinked quickly upon approaching the closet. It indicated that Grian was very near.
