[ 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.

[ barely gives brianna a passing glance as she moves in the direction he left from, too focused on his task at hand. wanders on over to damon, seeming as if he was rushed and excited to see him, and then: ]

... hey! What happened to all of my cookies?!

[prideofunity.livejournal.com]

[ had been making a playful face at brianna's back in response to the kiss when he hears nathan's exclamation, drawing his attention back to the midget-in-crisis. strolls around the table with a wide smirk, throwing an arm around nathan's neck while his other hand rubs at his own tummy to help make his point. ]

Don't worry 'bout 'em, N. They've all safely made their way into my stomach. Damn they were good.

[prideofchange.livejournal.com]

[ lets out a sound of utter distaste when damon's weight settles on his shoulders, grumbling something along the lines of 'ass' and 'jerk' at the end of his silent seething. ]

I know they're good, but they were mine, damnit-!

[prideofunity.livejournal.com]

Wrong. They were mine the moment you left 'em unguarded.

[prideofchange.livejournal.com]

[ sighs, lifting a hand to pat damon's stomach. ]

Yeah okay, but you should probably lay off the sweets, y'know. I think you've gained some weight.

[prideofunity.livejournal.com]

[ tightens the arm around nathan's neck, all but screaming in his ear. ]

WHAT WAS THAT?

[prideofchange.livejournal.com]

[ sputters and chokes, clamping his hands on damon's arms to try and push him off. ]

YOU HEARD ME! YOU'RE GONNA GET FAT.

[prideofunity.livejournal.com]

[ snorts, but does not let go, merely adding a rough hair-ruffle in emphasis. ]

Dunno if I can take the word of a guy that only get turned on by his laptop.

[prideofchange.livejournal.com]

[ pauses. thinks. ]

... at least I'm not gonna get fat and bald by the time I'm 40.

[prideofunity.livejournal.com]

[ also pauses. ]

The hell? That's all you got?

[prideofchange.livejournal.com]

[ snorts. ]

Hey, I'm not the one married with kids. Happens to all married men, you know.

[prideofunity.livejournal.com]

Sorry, but no go. Not possible for this sexy beast.

[prideofchange.livejournal.com]

... [ just starts laughing. ]

[prideofunity.livejournal.com]

[ means it's time for another noogie. ]

[prideofchange.livejournal.com]

[ can't help but still laugh anyway, too transfixed on how stupid that sounded to him. ]

[prideofunity.livejournal.com]

[ -- & that laughter ends up being contagious as he also grins & snickers a bit before finally letting go. gives nathan a light punch to the shoulder, cocking his head as he inspects nathan's attire. ]

Not bad. You cleaned a bit while I was busy with my brats?

[prideofchange.livejournal.com]

[ rubs his arm a bit, shrugging with what he considers a nonchalant grin. ]

Eh, I guess so.

[prideofunity.livejournal.com]

[ rolls his eyes halfheartedly, giving nathan's hair a lighter ruffle. ]

Means you ain't payin' me enough visits, N.

[prideofchange.livejournal.com]

[ gives him a softer smile in reply. ]

Hey, gotta give your adorable little family some alone time, don't I?

[prideofunity.livejournal.com]

[ shrugs, smirking a bit. ]

You sure it ain't 'cause my brats keep handin' your ass to you?

[ sputters, looking upset over this. ]

N-no!

[prideofchange.livejournal.com]

[ switches gears suddenly, shrugging his shoulders up as he pictures them in his mind. ]

I mean, they're so cute, so...

[prideofunity.livejournal.com]

[ shoves at nathan with a rather dorky grin. ]

'course they are.

[prideofchange.livejournal.com]

[ grins at his grin, then sighs deeply, a larger grin spreading across his face. ]

Yeah, but only 'cause they look more like their mom.

[prideofunity.livejournal.com]

Oi, hands off! Find your own girl!
