[ 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.

[ blinks, honestly surprised. ]

Really?

[ gives him a half-grin, turning his attention back to the cakes, the speed of his eating suddenly doubling. ]

1/2

[prideofchange.livejournal.com]

[ looks thoughtfully down at his cake, frowning at it a bit as he thinks... ]

[prideofchange.livejournal.com]

[ --and then just shrugs and noms one down, letting his thoughts go for now. ]

[ eats for a little longer before he suddenly freezes, followed by a hand lifting itself to point at a table at the other end of the room. ]

COFFEE SPOTTED.

[prideofchange.livejournal.com]

[ is in mid-chew when he turns his head around quickly. ]

COFFEE!?

[prideofunity.livejournal.com]

COFFEE. CHARGE!!

[prideofchange.livejournal.com]

[ can only let out a muffled noise of victory, running over in that direction so that he can get there first. ]

[prideofunity.livejournal.com]

[ is darting toward it too as well, taking larger steps to help with his haste in reaching the prize. ]

[prideofchange.livejournal.com]

[ gets there first, quickly making himself a cup. is about to chug it down but suddenly remembers that it's really hot-- sputters when the first few drops hits his tongue. ]

DAMNIT.

[prideofunity.livejournal.com]

[ pauses in where he is leisurely sipping at own share of the drink to snicker. ]

Real smart. S'what my little bro is.

[prideofchange.livejournal.com]

[ blows on his own coffee and stops at damon's words, sort of puffing his chest out proudly, a stupid looking grin on his face. ]

You're damn right I'm smart!

[prideofunity.livejournal.com]

[ just gives nathan's head a few pats upon realizing that his sarcasm was misplaced, too content with the caffeine to argue. ]

[prideofchange.livejournal.com]

[ sips at his happily, totally thinking that was a huge compliment. pauses in his caffeinated bliss to lightly chide, per usual. ]

How's your farm doing?

[prideofunity.livejournal.com]

[ whaps lightly. ]

Veterinary Hospital, midget. S'goin' fine, though, thanks for asking.

[prideofchange.livejournal.com]

[ ignores the whap as best as possible, sighing as he leans a hand on the table next to them. ]

Saved any rabbits lately? Hamsters? Squirrels? Maybe a bat or two?

[prideofunity.livejournal.com]

[ snorts & whaps again for good measure. ]

All of the above 'cept the squirrels.

[prideofchange.livejournal.com]

[ okay, can't help but wince at that one. slowly raises an eyebrow nonetheless. ]

Do you deny their squirrely needs or something? That's not cool.

[prideofunity.livejournal.com]

More like them denyin' any need for us docs.

[prideofchange.livejournal.com]

Whatever! So, what other kind of animals do you treat on that farm of yours?

[prideofunity.livejournal.com]

[ another, harder whap. ] Hospital, midget. S'not mine yet.

[ then takes another sip as he considers the answer to the question, ticking off the animals in his head. ]

Hell, prolly too many to list. All kinda pets. Sometimes gotta move my own ass when called out to farms and zoos too.

[prideofchange.livejournal.com]

[ lets out an 'OW!' and rubs the spot, though collects himself easily enough. ]

You have to move to another location temporarily? Tough stuff. Gotta be hard when you're fat.

[prideofunity.livejournal.com]

[ giving him a long stare & an exaggerated sigh of disappointment. ]

New insults, midget. Let's hear 'em.

[prideofchange.livejournal.com]

[ munches on the last cake he had in his hand, pausing in taking a sip of his coffee. looks up at damon with a pathetic look on his face. ]

But I don't wanna.

[prideofunity.livejournal.com]

[ gives him another long look, but lets it drop with a simple roll of the eyes. sips at his own coffee, looking pretty content where he stands. ]

You stayin' for the entire thing?
