It's Tuesday in parts of Britain.

[unknownrival]

My loves - Father wants to speak to you. All of you. I believe he intended this to be at the same general time, though I may be able to persuade him to stagger it a little.

To everyone else... do you ever wish that you just had more time?

[Issei's harem includes Diarmuid, Louis, Retasu, Mag, Birkin, Cu Chulainn and - I don't know if Kurama ended up going to his or to Shinji's harem? those six are it.]

Comments

[action because]

[croibhristeoir]

Regarding what? He isn't upset about something, is he?

[starofchaos]

Should I dress appropriately, my dear? Which form would you prefer him to see?

[action because!]

[unknownrival]

I believe it might have been practical matters, actually.

[unknownrival]

Whichever one you like provided it isn't the child. That might leave the wrong impression.

[starofchaos]

Which do you believe would go over best?

[action]

[croibhristeoir]

Oh...that's good. I would hate to know I could have upset him somehow.

[unknownrival]

Well, you do cut a figure in a suit. The way you normally appear to me will do quite well.

[action]

[unknownrival]

You are the last person I would expect to upset anyone.

Action~

[starofchaos]

So be it.

[Guess who's standing behind you, Issei?]

[action]

[croibhristeoir]

Excellent. Gods forbid I make a bad impression upon him.

Action~

[unknownrival]

Stop doing that.

[He's smiling when he says it, though, as can be seen when Issei turns around.]

[action]

[unknownrival]

He's... certainly a character, but you should be able to manage.

[action]

[croibhristeoir]

Believe me, I know the feeling. My own father was a bit difficult in his own way.

Action~

[starofchaos]

But it's so entertaining! Although I suppose I could appear in different ways.

[He smiles back.]

Action~

[unknownrival]

Oh? What would be more entertaining than making me break something when you startle me?

[action]

[unknownrival]

Am I lucky not to have to deal with him when wooing his son?

Action~

[starofchaos]

[Issei, you just invited him. I hope you didn't mind being pushed into a chair by the sudden appearance of a demon king on your lap.]

Many, many things...

[action]

[croibhristeoir]

It's very likely, yes.

Action~

[unknownrival]

[Oh, well, um. Blushing now.]

I-I suppose that w-would be... more entertaining.

[action]

[unknownrival]

Then I'll be thankful for my blessings.

Action~

[starofchaos]

It would indeed~.

But it seems that we have no time for this sort of entertainment right now, is that not so? Your father awaits...

[action]

[croibhristeoir]

Should I perhaps go speak with him now, since I am already here?

Action~

[unknownrival]

Oh. Right. That was the purpose of inviting you here. Right.

...Not that you couldn't stay afterward. I-I'd like that.

[action]

[unknownrival]

Perhaps you should.

[action]

[croibhristeoir]

Very well. Where is he at the moment?
