Masquerade - These Masks We Wear

[Channelknight Fadran]

"Kay." Wendy's gaze became a little distant as her hand reached down to her stomach. "I think she'll be a girl."

[Zephrun’s Imperium they/he]

"Oh! 'at's why you's askin'! Stars, Oi's stupid, Oi am."

Wendy looked up. "What? Did you think I was asking about something else?"

[Zephrun’s Imperium they/he]

"Well, Oi, Oi..." He bit his lip. "It's nuffin', it's fine."

[Channelknight Fadran]

She let out a huff. "Oh, come on, Nico. Maybe I don't know you that well but I know that when you say something's fine that it probably is not."

Also I've decided that I'd like Ivian, Riva, Nico, Fischer, and Wendy all in one room so I'm gonna have the king get home at the same time as Nico >:)

Heheheheheheh, perfect

"Well, i's jus'... Oi feel bad, Oi do. Thinkin' 'ow many chil'ren I mus' 'ave fathered over the years..."

[Channelknight Fadran]

"O--oh." Wendy swallowed and set her spoon down.

[Zephrun’s Imperium they/he]

"Really do wish Oi was a girl sometimes. Then 'Livia couldna pushed me 'round the way she did."

[Channelknight Fadran]

Wendy looked up. "If you were a girl, Nico, then you'd be in my situation right now." Her hand was still on her stomach.

[Zephrun’s Imperium they/he]

"Fair, Oi'm supposin'... Awww, Wendy, Oi's so sorry."

[Channelknight Fadran]

"No, Nico, it's..." She let out a breath. "Y'know? Maybe we should stop talking about the nasty tragic stuff that's happened to the two of us. It's really... awkward."

[Zephrun’s Imperium they/he]

He smiled. "The weather's sure nice, hmm?"

[Channelknight Fadran]

"And the ice cream's amazing."

[Zephrun’s Imperium they/he]

"Mmm." He smiled, staring fondly at her. "Um... Got anythin' coming up? Anythin' to do?"

[Channelknight Fadran]

"Well..." She pushed her hair back. "I mean, first of all I have to get back and make sure that Arabella and Katie are at least pretending to be asleep, then figure out who's going to do this massive load of laundry some drunks dropped on us, assign someone to wait the King's 'welcome home' feast that he really doesn't need to have, go make sure that Ingrid didn't break her leg too badly, and eventually get some sleep."

[Zephrun’s Imperium they/he]

"geez, I ain't got nuttin' tuh do. Wish I could be helpin' you."

[Channelknight Fadran]

"Can you wash dishes?"

[Zephrun’s Imperium they/he]

"Oi can, yeah. Although tuh be fair, Ivian migh' 'ave me be doin' stuff when 'e comes back."

[Channelknight Fadran]

The corner of Wendy's mouth perked up. "If he doesn't, though, then you'll have a lot of scrubbing to do."

[Zephrun’s Imperium they/he]

"Oi can do that. Oi will do that. For you."

[Channelknight Fadran]

"Aw!" She blushed. "Nico, you sweetie."

[Zephrun’s Imperium they/he]

"You deserve it, miss, an' don' let nob'dy tell you otherwise."

[Channelknight Fadran]

Wendy reached her hand across the table and patted his. "Thanks."

[Zephrun’s Imperium they/he]

Nico grinned. "Do we want to do anythin' else after ice cream?"

[Channelknight Fadran]

"I'd love to." Wendy replied, a little sadly. "But y'know... work and all that."
