[ 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.

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?

[prideofchange.livejournal.com]

Eh, maybe. [ moves his cup of coffee around a bit to watch it swirl, shrugging. ] I've got work to do, but I guess it can wait.

[prideofunity.livejournal.com]

Work, huh. You ever gonna tell me what you do?

[prideofchange.livejournal.com]

[ grins, holding his head up high. ]

Haven't I told you this before? I save the world, of course!

[prideofunity.livejournal.com]

[ shakes his head with a snort. ]

Right. Forgot that you save the ladies in your undies.

[prideofchange.livejournal.com]

[ snickers and comes down from his high, lifting a shoulder to half-shrug. even if his next words are said lightly, there's something more truthful behind it. ]

Ladies, gentlemen, children; whatever the job calls for, I'm there.

[prideofunity.livejournal.com]

[ grins wide. ]

Shit, with you on the job, N? Me and Diane don't ever gotta worry 'bout my brats' safety, eh?

[prideofchange.livejournal.com]

[ expression goes flat, an eyebrow rising, like he's questioning damon's sanity. ]

... I think they can take care of themselves.

[prideofunity.livejournal.com]

[ ditto on his own face, brows furrowing a tad. ]

The hell? Oi, they're hyper, but nowhere near superhero level.

1/2

[prideofchange.livejournal.com]

Yeah okay you keep telling yourself that.

[prideofchange.livejournal.com]

Besides, they don't need strength. They can petrify anyone without even having to do anything since they're so adorable.

[prideofunity.livejournal.com]

[ rolls his eyes as he barks out loud (but pleased) laughter. gives nathan a light punch to the shoulder when he's calmed down, eyebrow raised. ]

When they're back on their feet? Come see 'em, then.

[prideofchange.livejournal.com]

[ falters a bit from the punch, grinning once he steadies. ]

I plan on it. I've got a backlog of stuff for them!

[prideofunity.livejournal.com]

Yeah? But lay off the candy, N.

[prideofchange.livejournal.com]

... but... that's their favorite...

[prideofunity.livejournal.com]

I AIN'T DEALIN' WITH THEIR SUGAR HIGH.

[prideofchange.livejournal.com]

I'LL GIVE THEM SUGAR-FREE CANDY THIS TIME I PROMISE.

[prideofunity.livejournal.com]

What?! What do you take 'em for, idiots? No way in hell they ain't not gonna notice that!

[prideofchange.livejournal.com]

B-but... they love the candy. Not even one piece each?

[prideofunity.livejournal.com]

... you deal with 'em.
