Thirty-third snapshot [Video]

[brig_gen_maes]

[Maes is seated on his couch behind a coffee table. The table is full of what can be taken as books at first, but are actually photo albums.]Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, I would like to tell you about someone who just turned five. It is your greatest honor to have a chance to get to know the wonderful and adorable and perfect Elysia

[The video clicks on his device and he saw the strangest thing. A person bragging about is daughter? Okay, maybe not so strange but it did get his attention and chuckles.]

Boy, someone is proud.

[Not that he would want to be a father himself. Maybe he would be the same way....or not.]

She's cute.

...Until I found the stuffed lion...

Why hello there! Of course I'm proud! I'm the father of the most adorable little bundle of perfection!

[He didn't really seem all that excited to see the pictures but any father that was proud was pretty much the types that would spoil their children. He only hoped that she wouldn't come out like Veruca Salt.]

Oh! I'm glad you think so. I'm not a father so I can't really share your feelings though I must admit that you're quite the attentive one.

{Please tell me that she's not a tantrum throwing brat.}

So she's 5 now? How long have you been stuck here?

A Daddy has to be attentive, especially of his little girl.

I've been here for almost a year and a half. Baby has been here almost a year. How about you?

[Lee laughs, and smiles brightly.]

She is very cute. Tell her happy birthday for me?

[brig_gen_maes]

[By now he's finally, at last reached the end of his monologue.]

I will, Lee! And thank you. Though she's more than very cute. She's the most cute!

[That grin grows even brighter.]

She is. Do you have any more albums?

[Adorable little girl is adorable, and it's obvious that Maes loves talking about her, so!]

[Have a look of utter surprised joy as Maes reaches for another stack of albums.]

Do I? DO I? What would you like? Storytime? Playtime? Greenhouse? Picnic? Party? I take a lot of pictures.

Oh, are you organizing a birthday party, Maes-san ?

[brig_gen_maes]

I wasn't organizing one, since everyone could really use the time to restock on supplies and deal with the snow that's still all around, but do you think it would be a good idea, Miss Unohana?

[bunny_flower]

It does not need to be big, but maybe Elysia would like one, wouldn't she ?

[brig_gen_maes]

I'll have to ask Baby!

[grabbyhandsthx]

[Grins a wide, sinister grin, is it his happy grin? Maybe. He often looks like this anyway.]

What a pretty little offspring.

[brig_gen_maes]

[Gives a calm smile back, aware but not showing wariness.]

My daughter is perfection itself. And she's much too young for you.

[grabbyhandsthx]

[Greed laughs darkly.]
Too young for me? Age doesn't matter to me when it comes to trinkets. Would you rather be collected with her? I could make an exception and have two targets at once.

[brig_gen_maes]

You said money, women, and immortality. Neither of us could give you either of those.

[fightingvirtue]

Congratulations to the birthday girl!

[brig_gen_maes]

Thank you!
