[ 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.

[ 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.

[ 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!

[prideofchange.livejournal.com]

Huh? I don't want your wife! I don't want anyone and you know it!
