The Brink
Vincent woke up, and instinctively smiled, already knowing what day it was without having to think twice. It was his birthday. More than that, it was his eighteenth birthday. Perhaps not so great a deal in the Asgard of his birth ~~or the Latveria of his father~~, but here, in the country he had made his home, it meant a great deal. He had high hopes for the day.

There had been that miserable little worm of a thought that Kristoff was no longer legally expected to look after him, but that was routinely quashed each time it came up.

	Val grins, shifting the package in her arm to return the hug, giving him a peck on the cheek. "Hey there yourself," she says with a playful wink. "Great to be back, the life of a sixteen-year-old girl genius isn't easy, you know." She hands him the package, heaving a little sigh of relief to be rid of it's weight. "Like I'd miss your birthday." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Vincent catches the relief at the release of the package and holds it up gingerly with one hand, smiling and raising an eyebrow as he floats back to the floor.

"You might. If there was some eligible chess champion in a sweater-vest involved... or you were in the Negative Zone.. or the Microverse... or decided to go play hacky-sack with the Mole Man... I can go on."

He grins as he turns the package over in his hands before starting to unwrap it.

Val puts a hand on her heart in mock horror. "Me? Ditch you for a chess champion in a sweater-vest? I'm almost insulted. Now if he was wearing a lab-coat and holding the formula for the cure for cancer, then...maybe."

She grins, sitting down at the breakfast table and watching him open the package. He'll find a complete set of rare, hard to find, first edition spell books. "You have no idea how hard it was for me to get my hands on those," she says, pouring herself a glass of orange jucice, "Some lady was just selling them at her yard sale. I had Daddy triple-check with several sources to make sure they were authentic."

And at the bottom, folded neatly, is a nice Italian silk dress shirt.

Vincent chuckles as she doesn't so much object to the presumption as quantify it.

He then feels his teeth come into view as a grin pulls at his face uncontrollably. He'd almost swear his eyes are gleaming. "This... this is exquisite..." He looks Valeria in the eye. "Valeria Richards, if you were a woman, and I weren't deeply devoted to my girlfriend, and you weren't akin to a sister for me, I would have you in a manly fashion for this."

	Val wrinkles her nose. "Ew," she says, playfully sticking her tongue out at him, "Even if it were some weird, upside-down alternate universe, no. Just noooo." She takes a sip of her orange juice, grinning. "Glad you like it." (Reply to this)(Parent)
