Quest 278

I've heard it mentioned, you know, that today is Father's Day, along with being the second day of all the visitors stopping by to pay a call.

It does all line up rather neatly that way, doesn't it? We spent a whole week popping around to other worlds and acting like visitors ourselves, and now we're back here where we started and it's our turn to play the hosts instead. Though I imagine that even our poorest reception is still better than some of the other ones extended in the past few days.

I think everyone always wants to see the people they know and miss on days like this, and I'm certainly no exception. But at the same time...well, if they don't come, then I hope that's a sign that they're happy where they are, and free, and doing well. I think I could take that as ample consolation.

...But Daddy, if you're here, this is your day! It's meant just for you. And there's nothing I'd like more than to spend it with you.


[Canonically, she's from just after the end of Perils of Rosella, and with some very disjointed and vague knowledge of Absence Makes the Heart Go Yonder. If something comes up that I don't want her to know, I'll just have her forget it, so have a party--anything goes! HIT HER WITH EVERYTHING YOU'VE GOT. Troll, threadjack, have a ball!

And of course, I am totally okay with backdating. ♥]

[He stirs and his sheet shifts and

OH LOOK

A PENIS

IT'S SAYING HI ROSELLA]

[NO.

SHE REFUSES.

IT IS A NON-THING.

THERE IS NOTHING THERE BECAUSE THE ONLY THING SHE IS LOOKING AT RIGHT NOW IS THE WALL.

THE WALL WHICH IS DECIDEDLY NOT A CLOTHING-OPTIONAL MAN ON HER COUCH.]

[He snorts and then turns and....

falls

facedown onto the floor]


What?

action;

[identity profile] primrosella.livejournal.com 2011-06-19 11:27 pm (UTC)(link)
Excuse me.

[Her voice is strained, her eyes locked on that wall.]

[He looks confused and then up at Rosella.

Still confused]


....wait. Who are you?

action;

[identity profile] primrosella.livejournal.com 2011-06-19 11:28 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm terribly sorry, but I think the more pertinent question is who are you. And, if you'll pardon my asking, why are you napping on my couch?

action;

[He grabs the sheet and scratches his head.]

My sister wouldn't give me a room.

Your sist--

[...Wait.]

...You don't mean Miss Saya?

action;

[identity profile] acongressofone.livejournal.com 2011-06-20 02:05 am (UTC)(link)
Yes, Saya's my sister. Sorry, I'm her brother Reynold.

You can call me Ray.

[OFFER HAND 8D]

[NO SHAKING HANDS WITH CLOTHING-OPTIONAL PEOPLE. She'll curtsey instead.]

Oh, I see. I'm very sorry for, er...my surprise a minute ago, but I really wasn't expecting anyone to, um, be in here.

action;

[identity profile] acongressofone.livejournal.com 2011-06-20 02:15 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, right, Princess. Sorry about the naked. Pass my my pants?

[He points to where they are folded on the chair.]

action;

[identity profile] primrosella.livejournal.com 2011-06-20 02:22 am (UTC)(link)
...Er. Yes, um, of course.

[So gingerly retrieving them. So politely averting her eyes as she offers them.]

action;

[identity profile] acongressofone.livejournal.com 2011-06-20 02:39 am (UTC)(link)
[He slips them on, then over the head goes his shirt]

So how's it going, princess?

action;

[identity profile] primrosella.livejournal.com 2011-06-20 02:42 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, um, just fine, thank you. I do like these visiting days very much, and it's always very nice to meet new people! Especially when they're friends of people I know. And how are you today, yourself?

action;

[identity profile] acongressofone.livejournal.com 2011-06-20 02:46 am (UTC)(link)
Stiff. My sister, no sense of hospitality.

[He cracks his neck]

action;

[identity profile] primrosella.livejournal.com 2011-06-20 03:08 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, well...I suppose she is rather particular about having things a certain way, yes. But would you like a proper room to nap in? It's no trouble at all to make one up for you.

action;

[identity profile] acongressofone.livejournal.com 2011-06-20 03:10 am (UTC)(link)
No no, don't worry about it. I'm only here for another few hours, right?

action;

[identity profile] primrosella.livejournal.com 2011-06-20 03:14 am (UTC)(link)
I would imagine so, yes. Er, that is, if you really are only visiting for the weekend, and not here for a more prolonged stay the way that Miss Saya is.

action;

[identity profile] acongressofone.livejournal.com 2011-06-20 03:15 am (UTC)(link)
If I'm here for longer I'll caw until I get a room of my own.

[He smiles at her, he's got a nice smile]

She didn't tell me you were so pretty.

[It's a genuine compliment]

action;

[identity profile] primrosella.livejournal.com 2011-06-20 03:17 am (UTC)(link)
[It is a very nice smile. The kind she's rather susceptible to, even despite the previous optional clothes-ality.]

Oh! Er, thank you, I'm very flattered you think so.

[A pause.]

Is there anything I can get you, though?

action;

[identity profile] acongressofone.livejournal.com 2011-06-20 03:18 am (UTC)(link)
Just a drink would tide me over. Juice?

action;

[identity profile] primrosella.livejournal.com 2011-06-20 03:19 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, yes, that's quite easy. Orange, apple, or cranberry?

action;

[identity profile] primrosella.livejournal.com 2011-06-20 03:32 am (UTC)(link)
It's my pleasure, really.

[And off she goes to fetch it.]
