Kate could've argued against Lionel's normality, with his shock of bleached hair and outrageously bright clothes, but yeah. It was obviously a good, normal day in the kitchen. Tara was looking over some papers on one side of the table, while Marshall (in his buttonup shirt, tie, and apron) and Lionel were on the other side, the former working on a fresh pan of muffins while the latter... lazed about next to him.

And they were all looking at Luke, now.

"Ooh," Lionel said, quietly. Kate rolled her eyes at him. "I'm pretty sure Char already ratted me out or whatever, so... Guys, this is Luke, Luke... Guys."

It was Tara's turn to roll her eyes at Kate's version of an introduction. "Hi, I'm Tara, Kate's mom," she said with a smile. "Nice to meet you, Luke."
