[He nods] That's understandable. You're her dad - you'll always be her dad. But support is the best thing you can give her. And, I mean, keep in mind - she doesn't have to stay with the same theater for 80 years, yanno? There's a lot of 'em out there, big and small alike.

( His gaze lifted to meet Jer's and there's another sigh ) I guess .. I mean— she already made her decision, so.. there's no much I can do other than support her. I hope you are right Jer.. for I would destroy the world if she sheds a single tear.

[He frowns slightly, touched and pained by Louis's concern, and gently brushes his thumb against his hand.] It is complicated. And you're right, humans can be real shitty. But, you gotta trust that she can stand on her own and make good decisions about what's best for her, and just be there ;

ˢᵃⁱⁿᵗ 𝑳𝒐𝒖𝒊𝒔ᝰ.ᐟ@mercifulfeath.bsky.social · last yr.

What will she say when they notice she doesn't age? Or what if she's asked to work in the morning? .. it's complicated in many ways..

[Reaching forward, he takes Louis's hand and holds it in a way that he hopes is comforting] It 𝘸𝘪𝘭𝘭 be different, yeah? I gotta assume she's not joinin' up with another troupe'a vampires. That'd be wild if there was more than one'a those, heh. They're just humans. They can't hurt her.

ˢᵃⁱⁿᵗ 𝑳𝒐𝒖𝒊𝒔ᝰ.ᐟ@mercifulfeath.bsky.social · last yr.

... I don't know, I'm pretty sure it's going to be different. I know it.. but— I can't help it.. it didn't end well before. ( He sighed, there was concern all over his face. )

Well, yanno what they say. 'Rubbin' alcohol for outside ouchies, drinkin' alcohol for inside ouchies.' That embarrassment should be fuckin' off at any moment. [Wink]

So good, you are by far the only one who knows how to make a proper lemonade, no one can take that title away from you. ( Sipping it super fast. )

Oh, nah, I'd wanna drink it the way you're s'posed to. [He nods at the glass] Good?

𝑷𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐜𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝑴𝐚𝐞𝐝𝐚𝐥𝐲𝐧.@maedemoiselle.bsky.social · last yr.

It's usually served hot, but I could find a way to serve it cold? ( Taking the lemonade happily, doing a little dance as she sips. ) Ahh; thank you.

That...sounds amazin', actually. Is it served warm or cold? [Handing her the lemonade]

𝑷𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐜𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝑴𝐚𝐞𝐝𝐚𝐥𝐲𝐧.@maedemoiselle.bsky.social · last yr.

You boil it in water, and add ginger, lime juice, cinnamon stick.

How's it made? D'you, like...blend up the sugarcane in water or somethin'?

𝑷𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐜𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝑴𝐚𝐞𝐝𝐚𝐥𝐲𝐧.@maedemoiselle.bsky.social · last yr.

It is absolutely delicious! ( Watching him make the drink. ) Grew up drinking it.

Oh? [He's mixing her drink] I've never heard'a that before. I've had sugarcane before, though.

𝑷𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐜𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝑴𝐚𝐞𝐝𝐚𝐥𝐲𝐧.@maedemoiselle.bsky.social · last yr.

Aguapanela, a sugarcane juice.

Goodness, you're pretty.

𝑝𝚊𝚗𝚍𝚘𝚛𝚊.@amigrantsoul.bsky.social · last yr.

Do you make special juice drinks?

𝑷𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐜𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝑴𝐚𝐞𝐝𝐚𝐥𝐲𝐧.@maedemoiselle.bsky.social · last yr.

( She jumps off from the counter, and leans her elbows on it, holding her head up. ) I ought to make you a juice drink as well, one day.

[Placing the bandaid, then gently patting higher up on her knee, avoiding the scrape] You're welcome. C'mon, I'll make you that lemonade now.

𝑷𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐜𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝑴𝐚𝐞𝐝𝐚𝐥𝐲𝐧.@maedemoiselle.bsky.social · last yr.

( She nearly feels dizzy from being oh so brave, it's so exhausting.. ) .. Thank you.

Life is suffering. [Sage nod, and he goes about putting some Neosporin on a bandaid] But this part won't hurt.

𝑷𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐜𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝑴𝐚𝐞𝐝𝐚𝐥𝐲𝐧.@maedemoiselle.bsky.social · last yr.

( Breathing out a laugh at that, oh that was good, no more puffed cheeks. ) I'm free from my suffering?

[He sits across from him, giving his full attention. His eyes widen slightly at the news.] Does she, really? That's...pretty surprisin', actually. What's got you worried, specifically?

ˢᵃⁱⁿᵗ 𝑳𝒐𝒖𝒊𝒔ᝰ.ᐟ@mercifulfeath.bsky.social · last yr.

( he softly smiled and sat down in the chair. ) I'm .. worried, for Claudia. She wants to act again.

I've never had a woman scream my name before. [He chuckles at his little joke, then moves the towel to wipe the scrape.] There. All clean.

𝑷𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐜𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝑴𝐚𝐞𝐝𝐚𝐥𝐲𝐧.@maedemoiselle.bsky.social · last yr.

Jeremiah! ( Closing her eyes shut, holding her breath once more, her cheeks puffing out. )

Nope. Gotta breathe through the pain. [He's not moving it. The sting will subside shortly.]

𝑷𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐜𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝑴𝐚𝐞𝐝𝐚𝐥𝐲𝐧.@maedemoiselle.bsky.social · last yr.

( Letting out a yelp! shaking her head side to side. ) Off! Off!! Off!

@honeypineapple.bsky.social [Cuddling up against Armand, waiting for him to wake up]

[Good, because that's coming next. He wets the towel with alcohol] Alright, 3, 2, 1 - [He presses it against the scrape, just holding it in place for now]

𝑷𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐜𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝑴𝐚𝐞𝐝𝐚𝐥𝐲𝐧.@maedemoiselle.bsky.social · last yr.

Oh my god, that's going to be even worse. ( She's holding her breath, squeezing her eyes shut as if preparing for the alcohol already. )

Don't be a baby. [He smirks, very gently tending to the scrape.] I haven't even pulled out the alcohol yet.

𝑷𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐜𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝑴𝐚𝐞𝐝𝐚𝐥𝐲𝐧.@maedemoiselle.bsky.social · last yr.

( Suuuuuucking in a breath, gripping whatever she can. Oh! NOW she's feeling the pain. ) Owowowow. ( Dramatic queen. )

[Taking his time pressing a damp towel to the scrape for a few moments to stop the bleeding] Hate when that happens. Once I get you cleaned up, I'll make you a lemonade.

𝑷𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐜𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝑴𝐚𝐞𝐝𝐚𝐥𝐲𝐧.@maedemoiselle.bsky.social · last yr.

( She's lowering her head, cheeks are so red right now. ) .. I didn't see the ledge.

A'course I got time for you. [Gesturing to a nearby chair, an offer for Louis to make himself comfortable]

ˢᵃⁱⁿᵗ 𝑳𝒐𝒖𝒊𝒔ᝰ.ᐟ@mercifulfeath.bsky.social · last yr.

Well... I don't know. D'ya have time?

[He's gathering up supplies, then coming to sit beside her.] How'd you fall?

𝑷𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐜𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝑴𝐚𝐞𝐝𝐚𝐥𝐲𝐧.@maedemoiselle.bsky.social · last yr.

( Sulking right over, her head hanging low. It's bleeding .. )

Wanna talk about it?

ˢᵃⁱⁿᵗ 𝑳𝒐𝒖𝒊𝒔ᝰ.ᐟ@mercifulfeath.bsky.social · last yr.

What an evening today.. ( sigh )

The embarrassment isn't in danger'a gettin' infected. Come sit. I'll get a bandaid.

𝑷𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐜𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝑴𝐚𝐞𝐝𝐚𝐥𝐲𝐧.@maedemoiselle.bsky.social · last yr.

scraped my knee, but the embarrassment of falling hurts more than the knee scrape.
