Mother, father dad. I don't know if you got the memo, but I'm cooking tonight, okay?

Hey, I'm disappointed.

Late!visit is late

Marcus arrived at Paj-Tria more or less at nine and knocked on the door. "Heard someone here's having a birthday~?"

Khrista-muse says, "Finally! :D!!" <3

[quarkonium]

Khrista was grinning when she opened the door. "That's right, and she's expecting a visitor, too. Come right in."

[inmymothersname]

Marcus smiled as he slipped in. "How's it going?"

[quarkonium]

"Considering all that's happened lately? I have to say this is the best birthday yet." Because as much as Khrista seemed to be all rough and tough, but all she really wanted was to have a normal life - which included, among all other things, having a family, and having them together in the same place and time.

Feeling particularly happy with how her day turned out, she sat down on the couch and didn't ask for anything more. "How are you?" she asked instead. "I made cake, it's on the table."

[inmymothersname]

Marcus shrugged. "Things have been pretty quiet lately." He had no idea what was in store for him later. "It's nice to see you again."

[quarkonium]

"You make it sound like that's a bad thing." Khrista wanted more of the quiet, really. It was nice to just spend time with her family. "But, yeah. Nice to see you again, too."

She really wasn't sure why she invited Marcus over. It just seemed like the right thing to do, and she somehow found it relaxing to talk to him.

"Did I? I didn't mean to." Even if his sister was being quiet enough to make him nervous.

It might be worthy of note that there's a small box in his hand.

[quarkonium]

"You're nervous," Khrista noted, raising an eyebrow. She was half-tempted to make a joke about how it was probably because it was just the two of them in the room, but the part of her that channeled her mother decided otherwise.

[inmymothersname]

"Nausy's been very quiet lately. I'm afraid she's planning something." Marcus grinned ironically. "Her plans usually don't end so well for me."

[quarkonium]

"Oh." Khrista looked uneasy now, too. "Isn't there a way for you to find out? She's dating Nevelle, isn't she? Couldn't you ask him?"

[inmymothersname]

Marcus rolled his eyes. "You're assuming he'd tell me. He thinks she's funny."

[quarkonium]

"It looks like I'll have to see my dear cousin and get him to talk," Khrista said, frowning.

[inmymothersname]

"... You know, I keep forgetting about that part."

[quarkonium]

Khrista chuckled, reaching over to the nearby table and fumbling for something. She pulled open a drawer and closed it right back, satisfied that her blaster was still there. "Seriously. If it makes you so nervous, I'm going to talk to him about it first thing tomorrow. Your sister might be beyond my scope of control, but I know I can deal with Nevelle, at least." Although checking up on her blaster like that could only mean that she was thinking on the lines of a more... aggressive interrogation.

[inmymothersname]

"Try not to hurt him too badly. Nausy would kill me." Marcus laughed. "It's not that big a deal, Khrista."

[quarkonium]

Perhaps unexpectedly, Khrista laughed, too. "I know. I was joking." She seemed to be in a really good mood.
