"Thank you so much," Yuni said. "That's very thoughtful of you." He smiled appreciatively at Jace's offering. He put the jam on the table. Then proceeded to serve Jace and the others before taking a portion of good for himself. "Charlie is a good cook--well everyone here cooks really well," he hummed.
"Stray cat," Charlie laughed, "give him food and he'll come."
Yuni laughed good naturedly and poured some of the peach cider for Jace. Internally, his heart was pounding and he was panicking. He was so nervous. Were they too much for him? Did Jace like his family? Did he think it was weird? Most of them weren't related by blood, after all. Sure, there were a few married couples, but a majority of the people were basically strays like him; found family who all gathered together for a common cause. They were basically all aunts/uncles/cousins to the kiddos here and to each other.
