[ how is this possibly a good time for him to show up, his daughter is half-naked and covered in chocolate and no one has offered her a sweater or anything ]

[ but he's here now. he's here. with a coat. ]

[foodporn]

[wth man. covers boobs with arms and glares down at him]

Dad! Don't be a killjoy.

[go away. let me dance in chocolate and make childhood mistakes in my 20s]

[andtrue]

[ holds out the coat with a little eye-shielding going on. ]

Where did your shirt go?

[foodporn]

[looks over at sergei]

[it's hanging off his ear]

[angrily takes jacket and stuffs it on]

I just wanted to have some fun. Unwind.

[andtrue]

You were having fun. Appreciate the memory.

[ just like how every person who was watching is going to appreciate it. in their own ways. priest. ]

[inenochian]

[ appreciated. ]


[ also those breasts are really familiar too. ]

[foodporn]

[val character threesome coming up after this plot. shoots a sorry-ish glance at groom to be before stomping out in a daaaaaaad huff]

[andtrue]

[ turns to sergei ]

Could I get that back?

[ the shirt hanging from your ear. if you don't mind. ]

[inenochian]

[ coughs into his cider and carefully peels the frilly lady clothing off of his ear..... ..

holds it out to him. ]

She. Is a very talented dancer. [ much more graceful at dancing than running. ]

[andtrue]

She is. I'm very proud.

[ and he folds the shirt over his arm. ]

Maybe if you ask nice, she'll dance at your wedding.

[inenochian]

Not... [ downs half of the glass. ] Not necessary.

[ shifts in his chair and tries to remember why it is he thinks this guy's untrustworthy. ]

[andtrue]

[ good answer. ]

Married life isn't so bad, Sergei. You'll get used to it.

[ time to try catching up to amber before she tries dancing in the town fountain ]

[foodporn]

[rude. she's going to take a bath. she has chocolate in her hair. and none of it is from fun times. interrupting cow]

[folds arms over chest to keep jacket closed tight as she huffwalks back to the shop]

[andtrue]

Amber, I was worried about you.

[foodporn]

[you're not even my real daaaaaad]

I know. But I'm an adult. I'm allowed to do adult things. Without my dad busting in and making it awkward city.

[andtrue]

There's nothing wrong with stripping down at a bachelor party and dancing in the chocolate fountain, but-- I don't trust those guys. And I was right not to.

[foodporn]

What are you talking about?

[still squeezing jacket tight defensively but looks over at him. she's listening]

[andtrue]

You said your guy, John Smith, he treats you like you're smart? The people back there were treating you like a piece of meat, Amber.

[ and he knows that look. he doesn't remember how. ]

You're the prettiest girl in town, and there are a lot of people in loveless marriages. I don't want anyone thinking they can take advantage just 'cause there's some alcohol involved.

[foodporn]

That's sweet. But you know I can take care of myself.

[not that she's ever had cause to. maybe it's just young adult brashness that makes her so confident. she's pretty certain she wouldn't have any trouble though. like xena certain.]

[andtrue]

I know. But hey, it's my job.

[ speaking of jobs ]

Didn't you get some part-time work at the bakery?

[foodporn]

[perks up]

Yeah, he said he just needs an assistant for a few days. I thought we could use the money, what with...

[the glorious duke being a glorious overruler but an expensive one]

[andtrue]

... Yeah. Hell, anything that keeps us going another day's more than appreciated.

[foodporn]

You should have told me we were so broke. I would have done more to help out before.

[now she feels guilty. and has chocolate hair.]
