[ 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.

[ -- & 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!

[prideofunity.livejournal.com]

[ puts up his fists, even if it's obvious of his lack of seriousness by his expression. ]

Put 'em up, Romeo! You ain't even gettin' a look of my girl without a fight to the death!

[prideofchange.livejournal.com]

[ reaches a hand up, shoving him away. ]

Pfffft you're so full of yourself.

[prideofunity.livejournal.com]

No reason not to be.

[prideofchange.livejournal.com]

Uh-huh, whatever you say.

[prideofunity.livejournal.com]

You doubtin' me? [ shoves at playfully, but with more force. ] Prove me wrong then, tough guy.

[ was reaching for one of the leftover tarts when he's shoved, turning to look at damon again. ]

Huh? What's that? Couldn't hear anything over your whining.

[prideofunity.livejournal.com]

[ takes the moment of nathan's distraction to swipe at the tart. ]

[prideofchange.livejournal.com]

[ gasps, looking utterly appalled. ]

YOU ASS!

[prideofunity.livejournal.com]

[ & into his mouth & stomach it goes. ]

Fast bird, worm, etc. Got nothing but your slowness to blame, N!

[prideofchange.livejournal.com]

[ looks longingly at the empty plate of tarts. ]

Aw, man...

[prideofunity.livejournal.com]

[ already making his way to the cake table. ]

Stop your mourning and come try these.

[prideofchange.livejournal.com]

[ perks up instantly, trotting along behind him quickly so that he can follow side-by-side. ]

I'm surprised you didn't eat everything already.

[prideofunity.livejournal.com]

I'm workin' on it.

[ points to some of the cakes near the edge of the table while grabbing one himself. ] Try those.

[prideofchange.livejournal.com]

[ eyes widen a tad at the food, reaching out to snatch and start chewing on one. can't help himself when he belatedly mutters underneath his breath: ]

Fatty.
