[ the door slides open quietly under his push, greeting him with the sight of the mansion interior bathed in a golden yellow light -- a welcoming atmosphere. smiles, allowing himself to feel mildly impressed that the decorations were not as atrocious or in excess as the (semi-)disastrous party-meeting in their shared past. the first goal of his evening long-since decided, he gives alyssa a kiss to the forehead, brianna a silent look to communicate his intention & a final murmur of departure to his little brothers before he gently detaches himself from them -- but not for long, he hopes, for they are who he wishes to be around the most tonight -- in search of a certain boy-turned-man (mentally, at least).

is rather glad that there seems to be a distinct lack of them running around, making his search very short & effortless. gives anna a small bow & a polite (but well-meant) smile. ]

Good evening.

Like hell it is.

[prideofbeauty.livejournal.com]

You only think that because you're a big tough manly-man.

[prideofunity.livejournal.com]

[ quirks a smirk at this, looking childishly proud at the words. ]

Damn straight I am!

[prideofbeauty.livejournal.com]

[ looks away, as if second guessing her previous statement. ]

But you still have a big potty mouth.

[prideofunity.livejournal.com]

Dunno, still think it's part of my charm.

[prideofbeauty.livejournal.com]

Oh? And do you let your little angels talk like their daddy?

[prideofunity.livejournal.com]

'course not! Diane would have my head if they did.

[prideofbeauty.livejournal.com]

[ lets out an amused chuckle, reaching for a glass of wine when one of the waiters passes her by. ]

Smart woman.

[prideofunity.livejournal.com]

[ looks genuinely proud this time, also grabbing a glass of wine for himself. ]

Duh. My girl, yeah?

[prideofbeauty.livejournal.com]

[ looks at his glass for a moment in thought. raises hers, an attempt at a toast. ]

To your girl, then.

[prideofunity.livejournal.com]

[ raises it as well, a fond smile spreading across his face. ]

And my sis.

[prideofbeauty.livejournal.com]

[ blinks in surprise for a split second, having not expected that. expression eventually turns warm and fond, lightly clinks her glass up against his before taking a drink to finalize it. ]

[prideofunity.livejournal.com]

[ grins at her expression & drinks deeply, everything from his glass, raising the cup again when finished. ]

[ raises an eyebrow at him, lips still curled up into a smile. shakes her head and sighs, looking elsewhere when she's had her fill. ]

My baby is all grown up with his own family now. How time flies.

[prideofbeauty.livejournal.com]

[ pauses for a moment. murmurs her next words, almost inaudibly. takes another drink of her wine. ]

I almost feel old.

[prideofunity.livejournal.com]

You shittin' me?

[prideofbeauty.livejournal.com]

[ tilts her head slightly. ]

Hm?

[prideofunity.livejournal.com]

[ snorts & waves a hand in a dismissive manner. ]

You know you ain't ever gonna look your age, sis.

[prideofbeauty.livejournal.com]

[ chuckles at that, her next words taking on a more mysterious tone. ]

Oh yes, it's a terrible curse that will be passed on to you and your children as well.

[prideofunity.livejournal.com]

Just half for my brats. And I'm goin' when my girl's goin'.

[prideofbeauty.livejournal.com]

Oh? How romantic.

[prideofunity.livejournal.com]

[ snorts, giving her a wide grin. ]

Look who's talking.

[prideofbeauty.livejournal.com]

[ turns her nose up slightly in the air. ]

I have no idea what you're suggesting.

[prideofunity.livejournal.com]

[ still grinning even when he raises his hands in mock yield. ]

Okay, okay. One of those not-so-secret secrets. Girls always gotta have those.

[ shakes her head fondly, putting down her empty glass of wine on the nearby table. ]

No, I'm just simply glad to know that you are happy.
