THE BABY PARTY

[afineknight]

WHO: everyone!!
WHERE: The Rec Room
WHEN: Day 33, around lunchtime

[ Since it is a Daffodil rite, the Daffodils (at least, the ones that are not children who have no idea what they're doing and therefore aren't Tart, the best baby shepherd ever) have set up a little party in the rec room for all the kids and their poor beleaguered adults!

They've set up snacks and pulled out a few games as well as some pillows from the library for naptime and books — including picture books — nearby before putting the word out to others to stop by the rec room around lunchtime. And hey, if they have anything they can bring along, all the better! ]

[ He wrinkles up his nose. ]

I am going to be in DC? . . . I suppose there are worse things in life.

[leonheartedly]

[. . . wait does he think -

Oh.

. . .]

It's quiet where I live, at least.

[afineknight]

[ don't think you're getting away. ]

What was that, eh?

[leonheartedly]

What was what?

[afineknight]

There was a little pause. Don't think I did not notice it.

[leonheartedly]

. . . I don't think that far ahead, so I didn't really realize that you'd be coming to live with me.

Which is - I'm okay with it! I just - [he trails off and just. Gestures]

[afineknight]

Ah, but you see, you have to take responsibility for what you have done.

[leonheartedly]

[like five different emotions cross his face and all of them are good for once.

This is it, this is actually the worst bullying]

And that means you're following me home?

[afineknight]

That means . . . that I am following you home.

[leonheartedly]

[god, he's overwhelmed in the best way possible. He stares at Crois, very obviously just completely at a loss of what to say.

He swallows hard and finally manages to get out]

Holding you to that.

[afineknight]

[ lewd, tyr just got emotionally laid in public.

But he gives him a lopsided smile as well. ]

What can I say? You wore me down.

[leonheartedly]

[this is rude, you could have done this somewhere he could react PROPERLY.

Crois gets an actual smile back]

Knew I would eventually.

[afineknight]

And that is why you need to take responsibility.

[leonheartedly]

You're not giving me a choice.

Not that I wasn't going to in the first place.

[afineknight]

Hope you have some good black market connections.

[ he knows he does not. ]

[leonheartedly]

. . .

[he has none]

[afineknight]

Yeah, that's what I thought.

[leonheartedly]

I've never needed any.

I have other connections I can use.

[afineknight]

I hope they are not government connections.

[leonheartedly]

[he rolls his eyes]

They're not. What do you take me for?

[afineknight]

Someone with a lot of government connections.

[leonheartedly]

[he stares.

And then he snorts, crossing his arms] What kind of agent do you think I am that I would have connections?

[afineknight]

The kind that they would send after the president's daughter?

[leonheartedly]

[he shakes his head a little]

He sent me because he trusts me.

[afineknight]

Oh. [ a beat. ] I guess that's nice.
