Parental visit

[geniusmccoy]

After showing them around school, Henry had bitten the bullet and invited them back home. Told them about room mates they'd very probably not meet. Showed them around

*wanders in, cleaned up and grease free* Love? You in? *wanders through the flat towards the living room* I didn't know if you needed me to get anything from the shops but I picked up some of that fucking nasty oat stuff cos we ran o-... *finally notices that his parents are in the flat* Umm. Hi?

*crosses her arms*

You're the young lady from earlier today. I would offer you my hand for a proper introduction, but my hands are quite full. Harald, introduce us please.

[spinonmyturret]

*narrows her eyes for a second before she catches herself* *slips past and puts the food she'd bought away before stepping back* I'm Rebecca.

[zomaar_iemand]

You're Rebecca? The one who's Henry's room mate? Oh. Well. Look at that, Harald.

*turns back to the stove* Will you join us for dinner, Rebecca?

[spinonmyturret]

*smiles at Harald nicely before turning back to give her a less nice smile as she can't really say no now that the woman is cooking* If theres enough to go around...

[zomaar_iemand]

Dad: It's Philly cooking, of course there's -

Mum: Don't call me Philly, Harald. Not in front of the guests. take a seat, Rebecca.

*sits next to Frank for moral support and possibly to stab him in the leg if he needs it*

*smiles at Harald and gets a wicked glint in her eye* I think Philly is a lovely nickname.

[zomaar_iemand]

Thank you! And Philippa is just such a mouth full all the time.

*taps her glass* Do you want some iced tea? We brought some. Self-made.

[spinonmyturret]

Philippa. *smiles at him* It really is isn't it? You're right. *looks at his mum* Philly works just fine.

*wonders what the hell she's getting herself into* Okay?

[zomaar_iemand]

I don't know if a city girl like Rebecca would like anything self-made, Harald.

*cocks an eyebrow* She probably never prepared anything herself. Why else would Henry think he needs to cook?

[spinonmyturret]

*shakes her head and relaxes back in her chair* Not true. And i'm English. We know good tea. *looks at Harald, determined to drink the fucking stuff even if it's gross* I'd love some tea, thanks.

*smiles but it doesn't reach her eyes* He doesn't need to cook. He likes to cook. And I like helping him do the things he likes to do, not just the things he has to do. If I get a good meal out of it... *spreads her hands*

[zomaar_iemand]

English. You're a foreigner. Ah.

*presses her lips together* Henry likes science. Have you ever considered cooking classes?

[spinonmyturret]

*smartens up her accent just to rub it in* Yes. Born and bred. I came over to the States last year.

Henry likes lots of things. *smiles sweetly* I've considered them but honestly I already have plenty of knife skills.

[zomaar_iemand]

You are here legally though, I hope? I wouldn't want to call down any trouble on this household.

*wipes her hands on her apron* Picked those up in England? You know that you need more than knives to make a nice meal, don't you?"

[spinonmyturret]

Oh i'm very familiar with the law.

No those I got in Australia. *smiles* Well yes, but I find that knife skills will take you pretty far in whatever you're trying to achieve.

[zomaar_iemand]

Australia. Quite the globe trotter. Your parents are travellers?

Here
