“For a sacred duty you’re a bit rubbish at it.”

“Yeah well, I’m adopted. It’s not a gift that comes naturally."

“Your reputation and personality?”

“I didn’t come over here to be roasted, Ants, I just wanted some advice.”

“No, you don’t have to do that. I’m just saying, we don’t have to make a big deal out of it, if you don’t want to, or if it would be weird.”

“It wouldn’t be weird. I know you don’t like advertising our relationship, so it was quiet dinner. At the restaurant we had our first date in. Too much?”

“This is my first Valentine’s Day in like three years where I haven’t been single.”

“If you want we can just pretend it’s any normal day.” She’s only half joking.

[herckinnon]

“I mean we can. Would you prefer that? I can cancel plans.”

[herckinnon]

antheamckinncn‌:

“I’m preparing– preparing you for the worst.”

“I’m not really that horrible of a choice for boyfriend for her, am I? I’m a good-looking, financially stable, employed guy that’s madly in love with their daughter. What’s there to hate?”

“Really? I didn’t think dogs would go for broccoli so much. Or any vegetable, really. Maybe she’ll eat them if I tell her that your dog like them. She loves dogs.”

“He’s a weird dog, he’ll eat just about anything. Cauliflower is his favorite.” Hercules chuckles. “That’s an interesting technique to get a kid to eat broccoli, but I  approve.”

[herckinnon]

antheamckinncn‌:

“It’s true! That’s not my fault.”

“It’s mean, though. You’re bullying me.”

[herckinnon]

marxcusbletchley‌:

“Why not?  I’d say I’m a pretty honest bloke.”  He said dryly, though smirked and proceeded to clutch at his chest, feigning hurt. 

“You’re a pretty something bloke. I have yet to decide what exactly.”

[herckinnon]

“Can’t argue with solid logic like that. I stand corrected.” 

[marxcusbletchley]

“Everything I say is true.  I promise.”

[herckinnon]

“That’s a lie, but I’ll concede on this point. As a whole, I can’t say I trust your judgment.”

[herckinnon]

andromedastella‌:

“Well, she is six, so a broccoli floating about and tapping her mother on the head is the height of wit. So I think she wouldn’t have given it to a pet even if we had one.”

“I mean she’s not wrong, that is pretty funny. Ah, don’t let her meet my dumbass dog, then. Galileo loves broccoli.” 

[herckinnon]

antheamckinncn‌:

“Because you’ve been dating her for two seconds and her parents don’t like you.”

“Harsh, Ants, jeez.”

[cordellaearline-archive]

“Yikes.”

[herckinnon]

“I thought you liked this shirt.”

[herckinnon]

antheamckinncn‌:

“I mean yeah, but really?” They shake their head. “Claire and David won’t be happy.”

“They love Cordella, why would they be mad?”

[herckinnon]

“Can’t argue with solid logic like that. I stand corrected.” 

[veritaslilyebba-archive]

“You should never argue with me, period. And yet you always do.”

[herckinnon]

“Hey, I’m a big brother, it’s my  natural instinct to try and prove everyone younger than me wrong. It’s my sacred duty.”

[andromedastella]

herckinnon‌:

“Can’t argue with solid logic like that. I stand corrected.” 

“It really is unassailable, isn’t it? I said her plate had to be devoid of vegetables before she got dessert. Unfortunately I didn’t say she had to eat them.”

[herckinnon]

“Probably would’ve been  a more foolproof  plan if you had  a pet  to eat it off the floor, instead of just rogue broccoli floating around, but still. That kid’s a genius.”

[antheamckinncn]

“Are you– are you serious?”

[herckinnon]

He snorts. “I can be serious if I wanna’ be.”
