[BACKDATED TO SOME TIME THAT ISN'T A BOSS FIGHT like January 23 I guess] [video]

[So. Man. Out of nowhere, Kayneth's got all these feelings.

Feelings of familial devotion for people he's met like once. What are their names, even? There's that one guy who looks like he's never been out in the sun ever who he's currently assuming is his brother or something, he's got feelings of fatherly devotion for that one kid who made an ass of himself over magic and that other kid who... was not actually that bad, given that he gave him helpful information and didn't try to punch him in the face.

And he still feels like he's forgetting someone. Or maybe two someones. Man. What the hell kind of aristocrat can't remember his own family members' names? Get with the program, Kayneth.

Well, anyway, what... do you do with these feelings... quality family time, right? Or do you just completely ignore them until they do something praiseworthy.

...MAYBE HE COULD JUST TAKE THEM ALL OUT TO A REALLY EXPENSIVE DINNER...]

It's come to my attention that some of you suddenly feel like family to me, despite the fact that we've never met before and have only really had brief conversations. I don't see any good reason to let that get in the way of anything, of course, so I've decided to take you all out to dinner. I'll pay, of course.

[THIS IS THE MOST GENEROUS HE'LL EVER BE.]

Mother's dinner was better.

[Video]

[enjoymyatelier]

Yes, I distinctly remember this being a competition of some sort. That was absolutely my intent.

[Video]

[unknownrival]

I felt I should remind you.

[Video]

[enjoymyatelier]

Duly noted.

[yeah right.]

[Video]

[unknownrival]

Do not go near my mother.

[Video]

[enjoymyatelier]

I should be telling you that.

[Video]

[unknownrival]

Why can't I go near her? There is no reason I should stay away.

[chroimilis]

A feast?

[ A princess is used to this sort of treatment and all. ]

[enjoymyatelier]

[oh... does she expect, like... a whole roast pig... oh...]

...something along those lines, yes.

[chroimilis]

[ Yes, give her an entire roast pig. ]

Then where shall we meet? [ There may be a hint to her eagerness in her voice and gaze. ] And what time?

[enjoymyatelier]

[do any restaurants around here serve entire pigs tho...]

Outside the hotel at four thirty. [THAT... SHOULD GIVE HIM TIME RIGHT

WHATEVER, WIBBLY WOBBLY TIMEY WIMEY]

[breatheinthefog]

Dinner?

[enjoymyatelier]

[OH HEY IT'S THAT OTHER DAUGHTER HE DIDN'T EVEN REMEMBER HE HAD UNTIL RIGHT NOW jesus christ why]

Yes, dinner.

[breatheinthefog]

If you want. *shrug* Okay.

[enjoymyatelier]

Very well, then-meet me outside the hotel at five thirty.

[breatheinthefog]

Sure. Whatever.

*Despite that apathetic response, she's actually going to show up. Wonder of wonders.*

[enjoymyatelier]

[it's a... month after Christmas miracle.

which is better than if the miracle never happen, at least. but it's cold out, so her actually showing up was appreciated. ...now uh, the awkward thing is... how the hell... do you ask your kid her name...

Whatever. Act smooth. Act like you're in control. That is what you do when you are Kayneth Archibald El-Melloi.]

Are you ready, then?

[determinator]

[What... does he do with these strange feelings of devotion? He's never felt like this toward anyone. But! He'll just try to act like everything is perfectly normal! Despite the fact that he couldn't remember that this guy is... his... brother...?]

That sounds wonderful. Thanks for the invitation.

[And of course he'll show up right on time! ...Okay, maybe a little late because what is being fully human again and how do I do it.]

[ACTION]

[enjoymyatelier]

[man bro it is cold

you are testing the limits of his brotherly devotion]

...you're late.

[wweh]

About fuckin' time someone is treatin' me like the nobility that I am.

[enjoymyatelier]

...ah.

Are you?

[that...

wow, that almost makes things worse

normally it would make things better but kid can't even type and has some kind of problem with Ws and Vs

except instead of manifesting as some kind of rage it's just

what did your parents do to you, kid.]

[wweh]

Well a' course I am. I'm the second highest caste on the fuckin' hemospectrum.

[enjoymyatelier]

...ah, I see.

[not too hard to figure out, bizarre lingo aside. That's... practically royalty, then? well damn.

DAT PRESTIGE.]

I suppose you ought to pick the restaurant, then.

[wweh]

Bein' a seadweller I've always been quite fond a' seafood...

[enjoymyatelier]

Seafood shouldn't be too difficult to arrange.
