It seems warm, fuzzy feelings are going around lately. Not that I expected differently from you- [non-magical peasants] -curious people. Is it merely something about this time of year? Some sort of holiday?

[She actually sounds rather relaxed for once.]

Issei, my dear. Can I take you out to dinner tonight? It would be so nice to spend time with you. If you come early, I can take you clothes shopping and we can see if we can't get you some decent clothing.

[...what do young non-magical peasant people even wear these days?]

...clothing that is far more suitable of you.

[Be afraid. Be very afraid.]

What colours do you prefer?

[unknownrival]

Blue and purple, generally. White as well.

[hyphenated]

Aha, to go with your hair... I see.

[unknownrival]

I just think they suit me.

[hyphenated]

They'll look rather cute on you, I'm sure.

[unknownrival]

Mother, I'm seventeen.

[hyphenated]

...I know, dear.

[unknownrival]

I don't want to be cute.

[hyphenated]

But it would suit you so!

[unknownrival]

I don't care. No.

[hyphenated]

Fine then. I will gather you more fitting clothes for a boy your age.

[unknownrival]

Thank you, Mother.

[hyphenated]

It's the least I can do.

[unknownrival]

Did you have a place in mind for dinner?

[hyphenated]

Not yet. I'll take a look around while I'm shopping. Fine somewhere nice.

Should we actionspam this hideousness...

[unknownrival]

I look forward to it.

If you want~

[hyphenated]

I'll message you with the name of the place and the directions.

Let's!

[unknownrival]

Thank you. I'll be sure to be prompt.

Lights... Camera... ACTION!

[If it had been anyone else but Sola-Ui, she would have simply disappeared for a while after the incidents with Diarmuid and Saber. It was only her memory of her son, whose tentative relationship with her was a new and bright existence in her life, that forced her up and out. That and dignity. Dignity must not be foiled. Dignity must be held high, no matter how much she felt angry or filled with despair.

So she waited outside the restauraunt, hands folded in front of her, the bags of clothing - as little as Issei might like them - at her feet.]

Action~

[unknownrival]

[Having paid no attention to the other responses to Sola's entry - although Diarmuid did give him a call expressing some concern - Issei arrived promptly.]

Hello, Mother. Did something happen?

Action~

[hyphenated]

No, I'm fine.

[She lied through her teeth, paying little attention to whether it sounded false or not.]

Nothing I cannot handle.

Action~

[unknownrival]

...You know I don't like seeing you upset. Please tell me about it.

Action~

[hyphenated]

...alright. But only because it's you.

[>A low sigh and she drops down to grasp the bag handles in one hand.]

Diarmuid and Saber did... not take kindly to knowing we were interacting. They claim they have the right to stop us. By force, if necessary.

There was an argument or two. I have no idea what will happen now.

Action~

[unknownrival]

It's that bad?

[He sighs.]

I will protect you from them. I can't raise a hand to either, but I won't let anyone hurt you.

Action~

[hyphenated]

...thank you. I appreciate it, Issei, dear. But don't damage your friendships for me.
