67th Devotion: Domestic…. Bliss?

[favoritetraitor]

Luke, honestly… would it be so hard to come visit every now and then? It would mean so much to your mother… And besides, your Uncle Stork and your sister-in-law are currently both in town so it’s the perfect opportunity for the family to get together for dinner.

I'm sure Luke visits as much as he can, Mr. Goldsmith.

[She's just here, keeping peace in the family.]

[favoritetraitor]

Please, Saya... we're family! You don't have to be so formal... Let's see, which would you prefer?

Father Goldsmith?
Papa Goldsmith?
Father?
Papa?
Dad?
... Solomon?

[Saya flusters at the last choice.]

I couldn't call you by just your first name, Mr. Goldsm-- I... I mean...
Ah... Father?

[He smiled warmly at the newest member of the family. It couldn't have been easy for the poor girl to be alone with the in-laws so soon after she had married their son. Still, business was business, and with Solomon busy tending to ARTEMIS, someone had to represent their interests.]

That's better... Father is fine... even if it does make me sound like a priest. Heh...

[is_paranoid]

In town, funny you should mention that...

[voice]

[favoritetraitor]

Stork... I hadn't realized you'd left the apartment~. You will be back in time for dinner, yes?

[voice]

[is_paranoid]

The apartment. Uhh. About that.

[favoritetraitor]

... yes. Is there a problem, Stork? I hadn't been aware that you were going to run out...

[same filter]

[so_devilish]

Eh?

[ourdenouement]

Do you know this guy, Hikaru~?

[private]

[so_devilish]

I don't. Maybe he's familiar with LSD... or something, anyway~

[private]

[ourdenouement]

I wonder what he wants~

[horrible_penny]

The gang's all here? Seriously?

I'll be home soon, I promise! Things got a little crazy at work--sorry!

[favoritetraitor]

Penny, dear...

Yes, please hurry home. It looks like your uncle might be staying for awhile... so, we'll have to find somewhere for him to sleep.

[horrible_penny]

He can have my room, if all of the technicolor wildlife pictures don't freak him out? I'll have to find somewhere else to hide the ducks...

I'm leaving right now!

[ooc: Forgot to... uh. Yeah. Forgot to mention that Penny comes with eight adolescent ducks. ^^; Solomon has likely not been told about them, so he might be rather surprised if he happens to open a closet door.]

[favoritetraitor]

Wonderful.... perhaps you can room then with your sister?

[ooc: oh dear. I can just imagine Stork's surprise being mauled by ducks when he opens the closet... *evil laughter*]

[valentineluke]

This again.

Yes...father?

[favoritetraitor]

Well? Will you be coming over? Or shall I tell your mother that you're... busy once again?

[valentineluke]

I can spare an hour or two for family.

[favoritetraitor]

That's better... I know that you like your 'freedom', Luke. But I think you're forgetting about the importance of family.
