First Day of Summer

[mostteeth]

Iana loves her kids and she knows Bolly suggestion comes from a good place, but one day's notice to book out enough space at Adrienne's for all the kids, family, and friends is really pushing it. Fortunately, there is space, and willingness, and while nothing fancy has been done specifically, Adrienne's café is always lovely on its own. She's given

Iana loves her family, she does, but there's so many of them. Honestly, she understands Auggie's impossible to take a book and hide in a corner. Her version of that is that she's snuck outside to 'check on Cromwell', which mostly involves drinking a glass of wine in the evening sunshine.

Ah, and Dae thought he was being so clever coming out for a few minutes away from overlapping conversation. And now he can't go back inside without being weird, but he doesn't want to interrupt, so he just stands at the entrance and waves.

[mostteeth]

Iana signs a hello, and waves him over.

[gaenari]

"Sorry, I didn't think anyone was out here," he comes over and so, of course, has to say hello to the good dog.

Luc, coming from an unexpected crisis at the hospital, is perhaps the last to arrive. He manages to order a beer through virtue of pointing at the drinks menu and nodding when the waitress gets it.

[gaenari]

Adrienne's is crowded, it takes Dae-Jung several minutes to even notice his dad made it but when he does he beelines over, grinning broadly. Yay, everyone's here!

[doc_hands]

Favourite number one son gets a tight hug and also informed that he’s gotten taller.

[gaenari]

That doesn't sound right, people don't just get taller out of nowhere. Perhaps Luc has shrunk? The hospital is experimenting with portable healers?

Sofie has been going around showing off prom photos, "Look at this one! The flowers were so pretty!"

[gaenari]

"I know, I was there!" Dae laughs and is enjoying looking at the photos, though, "You got really good shots."

[packprincess]

Sofie giggles, "Oh, yeah, I know. Sorry, she scrolls to the next one. Blue dancing with Sylvie. She's not making a face, shut up. "That's a nice picture."

[gaenari]

"That's a really nice picture. You should get it printed," it's very cute, and he's not jealous because that would be really unreasonable and make him feel bad.

Holden isn't eating. He has a cup of coffee. There's a lot of people here, he's a little nervous. He's tried go meet people but he doesn't know what to say and he still has heard from the DMLE so his mind isn't really where it should be

[lottawolf]

Lottie is where she should be though, plastered to his side and at this point willing to growl at anyone who tries to bother him. Oh dear. She really threw him in the deep end on this one and she feels kinda bad. Her voice drops like she's telling him state secrets, "Wanna go outside? There's a dog."

[not_who_uthink]

Holden hesitates. A dog? Sounds good to him. But..."that would be rude."

[lottawolf]

"Nah, babe, it's my family so we can ditch them if I say so," so she takes his arm and starts making their exit, "His name's Cromwell, he's the twins'. Pops got him the same year he got Woof and them, so they're like, basically also cousins."
