I blame @wagonfruit for instilling in me the need to check on Arthur’s family again. I wanted to give them one last family vacation in GF before the kids leave the nest. However, it was a disaster. Arthur nearly incinerated himself upon arrival and everyone was utterly miserable (IDK why, maybe the lodging wasn’t up to Stiles high standards or something). So I had them pack up and return home the same day.
Just look at the face. Vacation does him no good. Not in Granite Falls. I should have sent them to Sulani instead.
After return Arthur immediately jumped in the pool. Not bothered by the cold weather at all. (We know you’re the iron man, Arthur.)
Lounging improved his mood a lot. It was good for the burns too, I suppose.
I think luxurious is the key word here.
Pocahontas Tara is currently the only YA in this household (Hakor moved out to make space for Nathan’s dog.😏) She doesn’t have a job yet as she’s considering applying to uni.
Arthur’s been giving her some important advice. (I’m not sure if she was taking him seriously. He was practically naked during the conversation. Nudity tends to ruin the seriousness, everyone knows that).
Athur: “What do you think, Hattie? What university would be best for our daughter?”
Hattie: *pretends she’s just a random guest in this house* (She may be going through a midlife crisis).
Arthur had no choice but to resort to talking to the family dog in the bathroom. Didn’t seem to help much. Dog that goes by the name of Luna missed Nathan who was in school.
When nobody listens to him, a man can always fire up the grill and glare the food down...
At least the kids have something to munch on after they returned from school...
...if they aren’t busy throwing tantrums...
Definitely a midlife crisis...
And then Nate had the gall to insult his father... (I think it was another Did I raise this? moment for Arthur).
Arthur: “You’re seriously not trying this on me, son.”
For a brief moment Arthur debated with himself if he should introduce Nathan to a certain room in the basement of the military base he works at.
He may have even said something along those lines because when the conversation was over, Nathan watched his father with renewed respect.
Well done, Arthur!
