That's... that's actually kind of brilliant, dad.

*reaches out to touch his face* Much better... *small smile* Sometimes I forget how big you really are.

*He chuckles softly, covering her small hand with his own* I'm always this big, sweetheart. I think you've just got a lot on your mind.

*He chuckles softly, covering her small hand with his own* I'm always this big, sweetheart. I think you've just got a lot on your mind.

*fidgets with her dress* I... I'm scared he will think I'm crazy for changing everything last minute.

*He chuckles softly, his eyes crinkling* Oh, sweetheart, don't you worry about that. He'll understand. Besides, a little spontaneity is good for the soul, don't you think?

*fidgets nervously*

*someone enters the room with a floating tablet alongside a cloud shaped robot*

*eyes lighting up with wicked glee* The budget's no object! Tell Cher to spare no expense - I want diamonds made from human tears, silk woven from lies, and feathers plucked from fallen angels! *gestures wildly* Make it so extra that heaven gets jealous!

*types rapidly* She also suggested adding a laser show *robot projects colorful lights* Each sin gets its own color - lust is hot pink, greed is gold, wrath is blood red

Charlie: *Schaut auf Vaggies Mutter und Vater* Ton visage a l'air d'être un cul

*frantically waves hands* Nichts! Nichts wichtig!

*he adjusts the lock with the key so she doesn't move it to much*

*I gently wipe her tears with my thumb, my expression softening completely.* There now. It's okay. *I pick up the remote and point to the TV.* How about we find a nice movie to watch together?

*grinning* his reputation and that stupid radio show of his

*My gaze softens as I look at her, the cold fury from moments ago replaced by pure paternal worry.* She will be. *My voice is low, protective.* I won't let anyone hurt her again.

*nods* good. nobody messes with your kid

*tenses, pulling her slightly closer* Ah, the elite... *voice drops to barely audible* Let's just get through the paperwork, sweetheart.

*stiffens* They might.

*the daughters of Sage Leona Libby Scarlet Adora Clover Cassie Gemma Piper Astra Vega Tessa look at his daughter*

*grips her shoulder protectively* Stand tall, sweetheart. *voice barely steady* They can smell fear.
