[You know what was one good thing about having a house full of drones. Arranging to get home schooled and skipping out on the actual school with the "dad" before he got droned. Life was good man okay it was arranged during summer but she had been counting on it carrying through to fall. Now with a house full of actual

It's your birthday, Miss Alucard? We have to do something for it!

[queenofscarlet]

Yes, it will be soon. What would you have in mind though? [Since she would scream at having a big noisy party...]

[kinships]

We could throw you a party! How old are you going to be?

[queenofscarlet]

It is quite rude to ask a lady her age, you know. [Not to mention she probably hasn't cared to keep track of how old she is...] While the sentiment is appreciated, I am not terribly fond of parties.

[kinships]

Hmmm.

If you don't like parties, then what about a special meal?

[queenofscarlet]

Hm... I suppose that would not be entirely bad. However, can anyone in this household even cook?

[kinships]

I think Miss Esther can, although... she's not acting herself at the moment.

[Sob. Droned.]

[queenofscarlet]

[Alas, poor not!mom...] I do believe that is the condition I once informed you all of--"droning". At this point it may be safe to say that it is permanent.

[kinships]

No! Surely not, that's a horrible thing to think about, there must be a way to help her.

[queenofscarlet]

If there is, I've yet to hear of one.

[kinships]

Then we have to keep looking!

[queenofscarlet]

What a fruitless search that would be.

[kinships]

Even if we don't find anything, we owe it to Miss Esther to keep looking.

[queenofscarlet]

You seem rather fond of a girl I assume you had only known for the last month or so.

[kinships]

She's important to Abel.

[And so important to him.]

[queenofscarlet]

And just that is good enough for you?
