When: Late Afternoon
What: Hilarity, naturally
Credits: Lyrics are from "I Found a Loophole" by The Whomping Willows

Iris was having a pretty listless day. The party had put her in the mood to socialize and be around people and Corner had walked out the door maybe an hour ago because of an emergency. It was times like these that she wondered why he and her mum didn't have more children, at least then she'd have something to do during the summer besides homework. Ugh, she wasn't even in the mood for painting!

So, as a last resort, Iris was sitting upside down on the couch, her head hanging just off the edge and her feet wiggling in the air to the Hobgoblins music she'd turned up to an obnoxious level (thank Merlin for the silencing charms on the home, otherwise she'd probably have her neighbors over, complaining at her for the racket). She had a copy of Witch Weekly cracked in front of her but wasn't really reading t as she was singing at the top of her lungs: "Five years it’s been since I first set my lonely eyes upon you, Now I’m finally breaking through, So what do you say? Let’s run away, leave everything behind we’ll rock until the end of time."

The things she did to entertain herself.

"Well, you do have a pretty good mean face. I'd be afraid to see it, too," she responded offhandedly with a smile. She'd seen him in action, and he was not a bloke that you wanted to mess with, that was for sure.

She tried not to laugh when he made a move to be comforting, despite all awkwardness in it. Hey, he was making a pretty good effort here! It was appreciated. "I guess we'll have to get to know each other then," she said reluctantly. Maybe it wouldn't be so bad. It'd be nice to have someone to talk to that--well, that didn't get all awkward and puffed up and angry father-like when she brought up boys or other things. And she wasn't even going to think about trying to shop with her Da.

Okay, she was agreeing to get to know Charlotte. That was a step-up from the death threats he had been at least somewhat anticipating from her. And yes, he had been thinking Charlotte could do ... girly things with his daughter. It wasn't something that Corner excelled at, knowing the right colour of dress or skirt or ... whatever.

"Good. I'm ... well, I'm glad that you're willing to try."

He wasn't even close to mediocrity when it came to clothes shopping. And really, she'd been considering death threats. But they'd been together for a year, and--if he couldn't find anything wrong with her after that long, she couldn't be horrible. She was going to give Charlotte a try but...if she didn't like her, Iris was going to make sure that Corner heard it. "I'll try," she said slowly. "I don't know if I can make too many promises but I'll try."
