Night Off

[go_between]

Richard's at the bar with a pint of lager and a distinct lack of children. He's leaning back on the barstool and toying with a red ring on his thumb.

{ooc: Must get some sleep now. Slowtime is love. ^_^ G'night!}

"Richard!" He has a B with him. A rather tanned B.

A B who is about seven months pregnant, too.

"I...forgot Joshua's birthday, didn't I?"

[go_between]

Richard grins and hugs her and rubs her belly.

"Bianca! You look stunning. And that's all right. The party was small and quiet, and he'll have many more to come. But you should visit soon. The boys would love to see their Aunty B."

"I should! Before Elshian is born, I think. But! I shall have to find him a present. I shall feel dreaful otherwise."

[go_between]

He laughs and rolls his eyes.

"Oh, no, he has enough toys and clothes for three small children. He's far from deprived."

[abotticellilady]

"A boomarang."

[go_between]

He blinks a bit.

"Well, he doesn't have one yet, but I'm not sure he'd know how to work it either. I'm not sure I know how to work one."

[abotticellilady]

Cheerfully,

"There you are, then. He can study it until either he grows bored or works out how, and I will have fulfilled my auntly duty."

[go_between]

He chuckles.

"You could do that by visiting more often. You know they adore you."

[abotticellilady]

"I know. I'll try, soon."

[go_between]

"Good, we'd love to see you."

He rubs her belly.

"How's your little one doing?"

[abotticellilady]

"She's fine, really. I think. Moving and all of that."

[go_between]

"Good. Sounds good. How are you taking the pregnancy?"

[abotticellilady]

A little shrug.

"It is...odd, yes?"
