Family Dinner
"Manny? Kelly?" Bea asked over the comms. "Could you meet me in the den?"

	Okay, Kelly was definitely not helping, which was likely the point. He then listened to what Bea told him. "That..that makes sense." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"It makes sense up until you hear about every story about fathers, daughters and boyfriends in the history of ever. But ok, since you asked nicely, Sis... sure, no more panic loops, probably. And I'll come along. It would be good to see Mom again too." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Bea smiled. "Thanks, Kelly." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	soft_inside 2013-04-06 10:34 pm UTC (link)
	"Maybe I should just think about puppies the whole time." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	goesbothways 2013-04-06 11:20 pm UTC (link)
	"Just to we're clear, that's puppies like young, fluffy junior attack dogs, as opposed to puppies, the euphemism for tits, right?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	soft_inside 2013-04-06 11:28 pm UTC (link)
	Manny just gave Kelly a flat, unamused look. "Baby dogs." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	charmedlife 2013-04-06 11:29 pm UTC (link)
	Bea laughs. "Everything is going to be fine. We'll teleport out tomorrow afternoon." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	goesbothways 2013-04-06 11:33 pm UTC (link)
	"You'll do much better around this family if you get a sense of humor. Well, except with Bea's Dad. His scowl is welded on. Don't let it unnerve you or make it seem like he knows what you're thinking. He probably doesn't.... anyway... tomorrow! See you then!" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	soft_inside 2013-04-06 11:35 pm UTC (link)
	"I, do so have a sense of humor," Manny said indignantly. "I just don't want to anger a man who could filet my mind." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	goesbothways 2013-04-06 11:38 pm UTC (link)
	"Don't worry about that part. He's always angry to begin with. Just stay away from any of the multitude of subjects he gets touchy about and you'll be mostly ok." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	soft_inside 2013-04-06 11:51 pm UTC (link)
	"..do I need a list?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	charmedlife 2013-04-07 12:02 am UTC (link)
	"You do not need a list. Besides, some of them can't be avoided. Mom and Dad are going to want to discuss the attack. Just because it's a birthday dinner doesn't mean we don't talk about fighting." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	goesbothways 2013-04-07 12:07 am UTC (link)
	"Very kind of you to be so reassuring, like usual, sister dear. You still really might want to consider making him that list. Just in case. Then he can think about you naked, puppies, and the things he shouldn't be talking about." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	charmedlife 2013-04-07 12:09 am UTC (link)
	"My dad is not going to filet anyone's mind at the dinner table. There's no need to obsess over precautions against it, because it won't happen." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	soft_inside 2013-04-07 12:16 am UTC (link)
	"Does that mean he'll wait until after dinner?" Manny wasn't afraid of getting beat up, but losing his mind? Oh hell yes. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	charmedlife 2013-04-07 12:17 am UTC (link)
	"After dinner, we'll all just go to the range or something. It'll be fine." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	goesbothways 2013-04-07 12:19 am UTC (link)
	"Its true, definite family activity. You do know something about guns, right, Manny? Because if you don't, you'll probably miss out on a lot of the conversation. And get some of those suspicious looks I was talking about." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	soft_inside 2013-04-07 12:23 am UTC (link)
	And Manny will outright frown. He glances at his monstrous hands, even sheathed as far as they could go, he couldn't hold a gun. Manny just sat in his chair, crestfallen. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	charmedlife 2013-04-07 12:30 am UTC (link)
	"Manny, you're familiar with Kelly's sense of humor. It's not for taking seriously. There will be plenty of other things to talk about." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	goesbothways 2013-04-07 12:33 am UTC (link)
	"Don't mind her. You should always take me seriously. Things work out better that way. Don't worry though, I can build a shotgun for your hands and grip before we go." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	soft_inside 2013-04-07 12:37 am UTC (link)
	"That's a nice offer, Kelly, but I still wouldn't be able to use it that well." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	goesbothways 2013-04-07 12:44 am UTC (link)
	"Of course not. With a total lack of practice, odds are you'd accidentally blow someone's head off - but at least you wouldn't feel so left out." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	soft_inside 2013-04-07 12:48 am UTC (link)
	"Oh yes, that'll win people over." Manny at this point is past the point of thinking this will go well so he's just going with whatever's said. (Reply to this)(Parent)
