The sencha order is second nature. John adds a coffee for himself. Shaw's a carnivore, so John gets her pastrami on rye: double mustard, no mayo. Minestrone, because Root may be the avatar of a god, but she's been living on airline peanuts this week.

"Dog muffin?" The server has recognised him. That's bad, but Bear loves those muffins. John kids himself bran is good for dogs and adds one to the collection. No puppuccino, though; he's got limits.

"Okay!" says the server. "There's the whole family fed."

John starts at the word, but she's right. This is his family.

*hearts you back* They are such a great family, Team Machine.

[kore]

Aww. I do miss them all.

[st_aurafina]

ME TOO. Show of my heart.

(Thanks!)

[sholio]

Awwwww! :)

I love them so much! (Thanks, also.)

I don't know the characters but I like drabbles.

[st_aurafina]

Thank you! Yes, drabbles are lots of fun. Tricky! But they make you get to the bones of the idea really well.

[heartonsnow]

Yeah they do - I am writing another one now and I have to re-write the whole thing!

[batmarg]

I'm loving your happy Person of Interest drabbles. Just the kind of thing I need after the series finale.

[st_aurafina]

Thank you! I love writing them, and it is a balm to think of them happy, after that finale.

[grimorie]

Awww... I love this. I love this family and of course all John wants to do is feed and take care of them!

[st_aurafina]

Thank you! Yes, I do think, deep down, John is actually a family kind of person. He loves his safe places and making sure people feel good there.
