    Four score and seven hours ago, I changed my name to Sherlock Holmes.

    Looking at it now, I realize something.

    I really like that name.

    So, I'll throw narcissism to the wolves and stick with it for now.

    "The name is Sherlock Holmes, and the address is two-twenty-one Baker Street."

      Oh, you know me. I'll end up fighting at the top of one no matter how hard I try not to.

      ...try not to fall, Sherlock. I’ve heard it’s painful.

    Tena squinted at the guy who had just gotten here. She remembered something about him, didn't she? His name was Dusk... and that war a while ago had been between him and Hellbent, hadn't it? Her face went a little cold, and she set her hand protectively on Anthony's shoulder. She would not let him try to fight Dusk, if it came down to that.

    Tena grabbed Asa from Anthony before he could spill any food on their granddaughter, then smiled. “Honey, you’re just far too adorable to be formal. I prefer it that way, myself.” She leaned over and gave him a kiss on the cheek, then settled back down and smiled at Asa. “Hey, little girl. You’re pretty adorable too. Maybe even more adorable than your grandfather, eh? Yeah, probably. He belches too loud.” Asa was falling asleep, so Tena leaned back in her chair and relaxed.

    "Food," Tena said simply to Anthony, grabbing him by the arm and dragging him over to a buffet table. "I'm pregnant, so I can eat however much I want and nobody can complain about me getting fat. So I'm going to take advantage of that." She grabbed a plate and piled it high with fried chicken, then walked over to the table Lenare had sat at, and a took a moment to situate herself, then sat down with a wince. Everything was so much harder when you had a bowling ball attached to your stomach. She began to eat ravenously.

    "Yeah, of course," Tena said, and gently gave the little girl over to Anthony. "Her name is Asa, and her sister's name is Nectar, I think."

    "The old you was absolutely crazy," Tena said to Anthony, putting her hand on top of his and looking at him seriously. "You were really not nice before you pulled all your spikes out and forgot everything. I have no idea why you'd say that, since I only met you once or twice before you tried to kill yourself. But maybe you can make it up to her somehow. Say sorry." She looked around, recalling her surroundings, and shook her head. "Not right now, though, okay? We just got married, remember? So maybe we can focus on the bright side of things for a while. I think that your wedding day should be a very happy day, right?" She grinned at him. "Just forget all that for right now. Let's get some food, I'm starving. "Also," she added as she took her hand away from Anthony's to support Asa properly. "This is your granddaughter, and Ambrosia is carrying the other one." @#Voidapple

    Tena smiled at the small child she held in her arms. "Hey," she said quietly to Asa, "I'm your grandma. I don't look old, but I am. Sort of." She looked up to see her son and Ambrosia talking. It's good that they get along. That they can talk about things without shouting. She glanced over at Anthony and realized something. Hadn't he said, a long time ago, that he thought Harmony of all people had killed his wife and daughter? Oh my god. He thought she was dead. "Honey," she said to Anthony as she walked over to him, "you all right? You thought Ambrosia was dead, didn't you?" Asa started to cry, so Tena rocked the child a little, which thankfully made Asa stop, looking at Anthony. @#Voidapple

    ... Or the baby his mother is clearly pregnant with. "I'm screaming a lot in my head right now," Tena said, a little woozy. This day keeps getting better and better. Marriage, and grandkids?! It must be my birthday or something. Can I hold one of them?" she asked her son faintly. "Please?" @JacobClaessen

    That reminds me of someone... Darkstalker.

    I'm not going to lie: the formatting on this is absolutely beautiful.
  13. Sherlock Holmes
    "Oh, is this Ambrosia?" Tena asked Anthony, then turned to Ambrosia and cocked her head. "Wait. A. Sec. Do I have grandkids?" Her voice got a little bit excited as she said that. "You're Ambrosia, right?" she said to Ambrosia. @#Voidapple

    "Sheonar is probably a reference to Devaan Sheonar, a combat specialist who fought in the Seven Day War, like you did... Maybe you remember fighting him? I don't think you two liked each other very much." She looked at the slip of paper in her own hand and said, quietly, "And this one says the same thing, but it says it's from an old alias you used to have. I don't know what's going on." He was breathing a little too fast. "Anything wrong?" she asked him. @#Voidapple

    Tena let a man put a slip of paper and something else in a pouch on her belt (which she still couldn't bring herself to not wear), because she didn't really mind, and because it might've been a covert wedding gift or something like that. That man was obviously confident of his stealth, but Tena knew when someone was pick-pocketing her. She took the stuff out. A ring (that was some gall; she'd just gotten married, by the Sisters!) and that paper. It read: A wedding gift. -Hellbent. Hellbent? Was someone playing a trick on her, or just antagonizing her because they were mad at Anthony? She walked over to her husband (finally) and said to him, "Honey, did you recognize that blond guy, and what did he put in your pocket?" @#Voidapple
  17. Sherlock Holmes
    "Oh, right," Tena said, remembering an important part. "I haven't tried this myself, but make sure your husband also helps. He's important too, and he would be the child's father. Make sure the baby knows that it has two parents, not just its mother or father. Other than that, be strong and everything'll turn out alright." @Sorana
  18. Sherlock Holmes
    "Oh, you're just worried," Tena said with a slight grin on her face. "That's quite normal. Y'see, you're not supposed to know what you're doing when you have children. That ends bad sometimes, but other times it works out just fine. If you want to have kids, the two most important things are patience and discipline. No, I'm not talking about cruel discipline, but sometimes, you just have to... well, that's not important for the first years. You just have to remember to be there for your kid and not ignore them. Hold your baby if it starts crying, and don't try to teach it any lessons at that age. Ask for other people to come and take care of your baby if it gets to be too much, but just be as patient as you can. "Also, reflect on how your parents raised you. What mistakes they made, how you can improve on them. If there were things they did heinously wrong, keep those in mind. "But what really matters is that you are with your child as often as you can be, so they develop a closeness with you so that they know that you can rely on you later in life. Parenting changes as your kid grows up-- I happen to have experience raising a kid through the teenage years-- but early on you've just got to be with them." Tena took a few long breaths and smiled at Althea. "Sorry, I was rambling. But that's what I know about it. Anything else?" @Sorana

    *bravely runs away*
  20. Sherlock Holmes
    *waves arms wildly* That is not happening.
  21. Sherlock Holmes
    "Right now is fine," Tena said to Althea, detaching herself from Anthony and stepping away. "What do you need?" @Sorana
  22. Sherlock Holmes
    "It's fine," Tena said. "Personal issues come up all the time during emotional moments. Ani had a problem just a moment ago." She leaned on Anthony's arm and wrapped her arms around it. Having a man this big was primarily useful because he was like a giant stuffed animal sometimes, and like a raging bear when he got mad at other people other times. She smiled faintly and grunted as her baby kicked. Again. Gorramn it, just be still, she told the baby silently. This is important. It means that you'll be born inside of a marriage, so chill. The baby, of course, didn't listen, so Tena just closed her eyes.
  23. Sherlock Holmes
    Tena made a rueful face at Ani's back, then smiled slightly to herself, muttering, too quiet for Ani to hear, "I may love you, but are such a flighty guy." She didn't mind much. It wasn't a big deal. Sweetheart that he is, I can't be even remotely mad at him for very long. She walked at Ani's side back to Max and Althea's table, quietly humming to herself. Some woman had thrown up on the ground, but Lenare had Soulcast it into air, most likely. She nodded at Lenare. I owe you for that one. Lenare shook his head, understandingher meaning and dispelling her offer. It's fine. Wasn't a trouble.

    Dru followed this 'Anna', then put some food onto her own plate and walked back to the table she'd been at, going back to her seat and sitting down.
  25. Sherlock Holmes
    "It's alright," Dru said, helping the woman to her feet. "Well, since you're here, you might as well eat something." Dru gestured at the food tables. "What's your name, anyway?" @Le Sigh
