“Hmmm… nope. I’m sorry, I can’t. But I’ll kiss your cheek!” She said with a laugh as she stood on her toes to do just that. “God! No of course I didn’t! She’s just napping at home with Will, I can go get her if you’d like!”

"Sutton, my cheek is reserved for Will's lips only, you know that! Ugh." He sighed and wiped his cheek, only after smiling softly at the girl. "That's alright, I have plenty of time to see our child. I have rights to that demon, you know. What's her name again? Peach Jam?"

“If you expect me to kiss your feet in my own home you certainly don’t know who I am.” She said with a laugh as she crossed her arms. “You’re blood lucky I don’t slap you.”

"Slap me? You bloody fucking bitch!" He snapped, before he placed his hands on Kheri's stomach. He leaned down and spoke as if speaking to the baby. "Ew. You got fat. And fat people don't speak to me like that, Rhodes."

Tarryn walked away and instantly looked to find her liquor. "Was it the liquor? I bet it was the liquor." He found a bottle of expensive scotch and flicked his wand, glad to see it pour into a crystalline glass. Nice.

Nina gasped as she was initially lifted up, giggling as they hugged, “Gee wow, I feel so special! Yes, yes people have been wonderful, don’t worry. The war is over now, things can finally settle down again.” 

“I haven’t seen you in ages, Tarryn! Where have you been, anyways?”

Adorable giggles. Tarryn could almost throw up at the sound of them. "You're my princess, of course you're special." He set her down and ruffled her hair, offering his arm for her to take soon after. "Nice to hear I don't need to bury anyone for you. C'mon now, adventures await."

"Ah, you know. Here, there, hiding, escaping the authorities..." He winked. "The usual. And you, Nina?"

“Tarryn?! I’m glad to see you but I will not kiss your feet you’ve been gone for ages!!!” 

[holymanis-blog]

"Wah wah. Kiss my feet, Sutton. Do it. Do it so I can laugh in the face of your despicable husband." He grinned. "So... Where's the vagina demon? Did you kill it? Oh my god, you monster!"

[queenanina]

“Ha ha, very funny,” she rolled her eyes, laughing, “Do you think a hug will do? Or is that totally unacceptable compared to the whole ‘kissing of the feet’ thing?”

"Hugs? Do you take me for a simpleton?" Tarryn feigned offense for a moment, before letting out a laugh. He lifted Nina into a hug and spun the girl around. "My little princess, of course I want a hug from you. Tell me, have the people been nice? Do I have to cut anyone?"

“No, actually, it wouldn’t be. You disappeared and had all of us who care about you live in wonder if you were alive or not.”

"Boo hoo hoo. Shut your noise hole, it would be a fucking honor and you know it." He pulled his cigarette from his lips and laid his left arm lazily around her shoulders. "So. Anyone die while I was gone? Are James and Midas and Hugo dead? Please say yes. That means Niles' band of merry men won't be around to start anymore bloody wars."

[holymanis-blog]

"Y'know, I've been back for a bloody hour and no one's kissed my feet yet." He let out a sarcastic sigh and looked to the person beside him. "Want to be the first? I know-- it's an honor."
