I bet you didn't know Daisy Adair could play the piano, did you?

... well, her mun didn't either, and had to check a couple of canon resources to be sure.

But, lo and behold, Daisy Adair can play the piano, and is currently doing so!

At some point, Megan wanders away - not too far away - from the family reunion, and over to the piano.

[reapsandcons]

Daisy offers her a smile, but doesn't sway from her lyrics.

The rain had me chilled to the bones
Just the three of us
Took flight that night
Uncle Richard, me,
And James Earl Jones.

She smiles back, shyly.

The F sharp chord makes itself known -- loudly -- and then Daisy stops.

"I'm Daisy," she says softly. "What's your name?"

Children do not get the same introduction at all. She likes them. Especially girls.

"Hi. Megan."

[reapsandcons]

"Megan. That's a pretty name -- and it really is, I'm not just some silly adult saying that to look for words. It's the name of a lot of important people, actually."

[littlest_pace]

"Gramma's name", she volunteers.

[reapsandcons]

"Like your grandmother. See! Important person. Right there."

[littlest_pace]

Megan beams at her.

[reapsandcons]

"Do you like liccorice? The black kind?"

... She won't give up until she finds someone who does.

[littlest_pace]

Megan likes all sweets.

She nods, eyes wide.

[reapsandcons]

And out of Daisy's purse? A stick of black liccorice.

"There you are, then, miss Megan."

[littlest_pace]

She takes it eagerly and puts it in her mouth.

A few minutes later, she remembers her manners.

"Fank you."

[reapsandcons]

"You're quite welcome, my dear."

[littlest_pace]

Another bright smile.

Megan's mouth might be a little... black, now.

"... do you have parents who are about to show up and yell at me for giving you candy?"

Please do not let that statement be prophetic.
