[ being totally normal and not at all nervous about this and that's why there are a bunch of camera drones orbiting the perimeter of peony so he doesn't miss anyone showing up ]

[quarantotto]

...you okay there, chief?

[hardpity]

I'm fine. I'm normal. I invited Lily over.

[quarantotto]

Why? Did their barn burn down?

[hardpity]

Not... that I know of?

[audacity]

[ showing up with shower-damp hair and a smattering of fresh bruises after certain recent demigod slapfights, but also a friendly smile ]

Hey. Charon said you guys have a quest, or something?

[hardpity]

Y-yeah... we're hosting a sleepover where we tell stories we like... a-are you doing okay?

[quarantotto]

So they're coming over here by choice?

[audacity]

[ eyebrow lift ]

Yeah? A sleepover sounds fun.

[hardpity]

Just, I mean... you're bruised and stuff...

[hardpity]

W-well, they think they're helping with a quest...

[audacity]

Oh, yeah, Kevin and I were sparring earlier. [ kind of proud actually, ] He got me pretty good.

[ HOLDING UP A HAND FOR A HIGH FIVE TO KEVIN wherever he is probably around ]

[hardpity]

Jock to jock communication... I see...

[quarantotto]

What quest? Are we getting new equipment?

[hardpity]

A kotatsu! You know, those tables with the heaters? I asked Naythan to give me an excuse to trick Lily into taking a night off so that's what we're getting.

[quarantotto]

.....if we're getting a kotatsu out of the deal, I can manage.

[hardpity]

You can get first dibs on it even.

[abandon_hope]

[ he's not paying any attention, but demigod instincts result in a high five ]

[quarantotto]

Acceptable.

[hardpity]

We're also gonna have to tell some stories.

[audacity]

[ yesss ]

[audacity]

Uh, yeah, something like that. You said we're telling stories?

[hardpity]

Yeah, um... the criteria for storytelling is pretty loose so I figured it could be, like, u-um. Like your favorite fictional story o-or a personal anecdote that makes you happy or something.

[quarantotto]

Unacceptable.

[hardpity]

That's the rite. They can be made up stories if you wanna talk about a movie you saw.
