Not that I don't 'preciate the complimentary words, ma'am, but them peppers been around long afore I ever got there, they're doing just fine on their own.
I think you're underestimating how much you mean to him.
He hasn't always felt as comfortable with his unit as he does these days. This is the best he has been doing in a long time, and you are a big part of the reason why.
I think it came out especially well this year, if I may toot my own horn!
[She leads her in the direction of the table, which is positively overflowing with holiday bounty. The centerpiece is a huge roast that looks like a beef wellington, already sliced, surrounded by all sorts of meat dishes that are fried, baked, or slathered in sauces. There's also an abundance of vegetables of all sorts, potatoes and lotus roots and exotic-looking greens, finger foods and snacks and desserts as far as the eye can see.]
Have as much as you like. And if you need a place to sit while you tuck in, there's probably a good spot in the den.
[Before you a chance to get busy with the food, she reaches out and wraps you in a hug. It's warm and fond, as if you were her very own daughter and she loves you very much.]
[With one hand, she smooths down your hair and puts a kiss to the top of your head.]

Re: Welcome
He hasn't remembered my name yet. Even when I say what it is, this place won't allow him to hear it.
Re: Welcome
Do ya know why my brother was here?
Re: Welcome
Probably because he's someone you love.
Or, at least, because Shen believes he is.
Re: Welcome
Colby, too, if you were wonderin' on it.
Re: Welcome
[She smiles, warm.]
Judging by the look on his face whenever he talks about you, I can tell it's mutual.
Thank you for taking such good care of my son, Moxie.

Re: Welcome
You're hearing it straight from his own subconscious, after all.

Re: Welcome
[she politely hides her laugh behind her hand, but you can see in her eyes that she's very charmed.]
Would you like something to eat, Moxie? We have plenty.
You're also welcome to the house. Please make yourself at home.

Re: Welcome
Re: Welcome
Or five plates, or ten plates. No limits! Try one of everything!
Re: Welcome
[She's gonna load up 2 plates and head into the Den, then.]

—Oh, one last thing.

I'm so glad I got to meet you, Moxie.
Re: Welcome
Er–– y-yeah. Glad to meetcha, too, Missus.
[What are you supposed to do with a mom, she's never had one... pats her amiably on the shoulder? She has to reach to do it.]
Re: Welcome
[She makes a small, pleased noise that might almost be a laugh, but it's not at you, she's just happy.
You make her happy.
--She lets you go and pats your head.]
Alright, I'll let you eat! Enjoy!
[You are now free to ravage the food table and head to the den when you're ready!]
