Adrien Fitzgerald is usually seen dressed in only the latest styles. Whether it's jeans, slacks, dress shirts, shoes, he always looks good. Presentable. Not so much the case right now

He vanishes for one day, and this is what becomes of Adrien. Alas. Thank goodness Sitara seems to be the one in charge. And thank goodness Sitara knows what's what in the world--Legos rank high above looking 'appropriately snazzy.'
And, well. Adrien does look snazzy. That's why he's getting kicked in the foot as the Ten passes.
"No, it's me. And this? Is because Sitara thinks they look better on me than on her. I think I'll try to convince her next time that they look best on Uncle Cadogan." All the smirks, Cadogan. All of them.
"Oh, she's got plenty. You can get her little bling-y rings too, for all she cares. I'm getting close to admitting it's a lost case, Cadogan. She just won't dress up if it's not a special day."
"Pretty perfect? I think you mean there's no one better than her, Cadogan." He smiles, a little smaller than usual, shrugging a shoulder. "To think that some people thought I wouldn't be able to take care of her."
His breath comes in his version of a pleased hum, corners of his eyes crinkling just a little as he ducks his head. There's a beat before he nudges Adrien's foot with his again.
/There's no one better than her, but you're a close second. Of course you're doing well./
And, well, there were also quite a few people who loved them both dearly helping. That couldn't hurt.
"Hah. I'm okay, Cadogan. You and Sophie are definitely better than me. I'd be hopeless at this without you." And you know, if you keep kicking Adrien, Adrien will kick back. Albeit lightly.
“I’m fairly sure this is cheating of the highest magnitude, my good sir. But between you and me Sitara would love a train set. I think that’s what she’s looking at in there right now.” He gestures at the store. “If you could get that message to Santa, it’d be greatly appreciated.”
And, well. Adrien does look snazzy. That's why he's getting kicked in the foot as the Ten passes.

/It's impressive. Making sure you were really you and not some crazed look-alike./

/Your hair is a hell of a lot better for such things. Let me know if she's got any sparkly necklaces that will clash nicely with my ties./
Hate to be left out of the fun.

/Takes a village./ And, actually. /You have hints for Christmas for her?/
Or himself, actually.

And Adrien can handle the crapshoot in the dark his own present will be.
Now have a nose-poke before the Ten has to go back to being a properly broody person, good sir.
