[ It's the thought that counts, indeed - which is why Lucian merely folds his arms loosely, a gesture without any sign of anger. His expression has gone to a certain level of neutrality that deepens as to almost be unreadable; his thinking face.

This is a mess. And it's not a mess easily solved by facts. ]

Do you think I should explain to them in person?

[ Said when she has a moment to breathe away from the phone. ]

[caelestialis]

[ do you hear that noise ainsley made at the back of her throat.

it may sound like a dying animal struggling to fight for its last breath but its actually ainsley balking at the idea. last thing she wants to do is scare poor lucian with her parents... excitement over this technical misunderstanding. ]

I think- I think we should give them some time first. Just so they're not as wrapped up by this and no dad we don't have any announcements to make! [ siiiigh. really?? ] They're, um, mistaking this arrangement for something else.

[accordance]

[ It's not hard to tell what.

Lucian merely closes his eyes for a few moments, pondering his options. ]

That sounds wise. Will you be alright going home tonight?

[ He hardly wants Ainsley to face this alone, but at the same time.... ]

[caelestialis]

I...

[ she looks away, clearly torn. she liked spending time with her friend but she also didn't want to have him troubled by her parents.

especially after this. ] I don't want to be a bother. Last thing I want you to deal with is my mother pestering you through text or something. You know how they are!

[accordance]

{ He knows how they are, but he can also use his work as a reason to ignore them (politely, of course). ]

You aren't a bother. I'll figure out something.

[ It will take a while, but it should not be something impossible to untangle. ]

[caelestialis]

I'm sure you will.

[ she smiles at the assurance, feeling less anxious now.

lucian would find a way to deal with the forces of nature she called 'mom' and 'dad' because if anyone could do it then it would be him. she has to trust him on this and she does. ] In advance I'm sorry for my mother. And I'm very, very sorry for my father.

[accordance]

[ With how things have unfolded, he can guess. This will be a test of his patience against their enthusiasm. ]

Don't worry about it.

[ He's survived war zones, but this is a different type of test altogether. Nevertheless: ]

Let's take it one step at a time.

I'M LATE BUY HEEEEY I'LL HAVE ANOTHER THING RUNNING SOON WHOOOO

[caelestialis]

Yeah. You're right. One step at a time.

[ she just wishes the next step wasn't 'ainsley's dad trying to suss out lucian and trying to give a talk if anything is happening' because um. that's a step she'll like to avoid but here they are. ] ... But thank you. Really. For letting me stay the night with you.

I think that was the first time I had a real proper rest since all of this began.

HEEEY......

[accordance]

Your health is the most important, Ainsley.

[ There may be no running away from The Talk but at least she needs to be in the prime state of mind for it. And that requires recuperation. ]

UR SUPPOED TO REST I SEE THAT TIMESTAMP ON MY NOTIF

[caelestialis]

[ she smiles at him, touched that, even now, he's looking out for her. ]

Always the gentleman! Your health is important too. [ doubly so between the two of them. he's always had the more fragile constitution between the two of them. ] But if it helps your health, I promise to be extra careful today. I definitely don't want anymore awful weapons on my doorstep.

[ not her best joke but it's a joke. it's a direction to something. ]
