When Life Just Goes Right

"Well... I need someone to balance the panic and paranoia from me." Rowena commented with a laugh.

"Much like how Hollie needs someone to counter the seriousness of her life." She added.

"But I am happy for both of you." She then said, and he could hear the sincerity in her voice.

---

It was a bit later before Hollie sighed.

"Vincent, here. Would you mind setting the table?" She said as she set some plates down on the counter, after having taken them out of the dishwasher.

"Because it's about the time to dish out the food."

Hal just smiled in response.

"Thank you." he said to her.

Vincent nodded when Hollie said what she did.

"Of course." he replied, picking them up. As he did, he noticed something.

"Hollie?" he addressed his sister. "Why are there 4 plates?" he asked.

"I mean, there's yourself, me, Rowena..." he went on, before trailing off some.

"...wait..." he muttered.

"Don't tell me..." he mumbled, looking over towards Hollie.

Hollie was silent.

"It does not matter." She stated.

"how about you just go set the table." She then said as she started to pull the casserole out of the oven.

"..........." Vincent was silent in response.

"Mm." he mumbled.

"Very well." he said.

He then grabbed the dishes, cutlery, and glasses, and began to set the table.

"...should have known." he mumbled to himself.

"Was too good to be true." he muttered further.

Hollie was silent as he went and did as she asked, before doing what she needed to. After about fifteen minutes, Hollie had taken the dish out and set everything on the table as was needed. She sighed lightly before heading to the den.

"Hey you two, dinner is ready." She told the two in there.

Hal and Rowena looked over at Hollie when she made the announcement.

"Smells divine." he commented.

"Let's go." he told Rowena.

"...." he was then silent, before sighing.

"I assume Vincent knows." he said to Hollie. "Is probably taking it as expected." he muttered further.

"Where is he?" he then asked her. "He at the table, or elsewhere?" he asked further.

Hollie knew where he was. Sitting at the table. Waiting. Waiting for... a couple of things. And his expression was a blank one, with disapproval behind his eyes.

"He's at the table,, waiting for this." Holliue answered.

"I really hope this goes well..." Rowena said with light sigh.

"You and I both, Rowena." Hollie then said.

"Anyway, come on. Food is cooked, and it's definitely something I'm looking forward to." She then said with a light laugh.

"I don't think I've ever had this one." Rowena commented.

"No, you haven't. So enjoy." Hollie thens aid before heading back to the table. She wasn't sure about it all, after all.

Hal and Rowena looked at each other, before they made their way to the table as well.

When they sat down, Vincent seemed to shoot a glare at the djinn, before looking towards Rowena.

"Well, then." Hal commented.

"Shall we begin?" he asked.

"......." Vincent was just silent, seeming to be holding his tongue.

But his eyes were judgemental.

Hollie was silent as she made sure that everything that was needed to be out there, was out there, and she saw down between her brother and Hal.

"Anyway, dig in, guys." She said with a smile. She glanced to Hal for a second.

"Hollie, I think you went all out, seriously." Rowena said as they started to dish some for themselves.

"If only just because of the fact that this... I dunno. I find it a surprise you're willing to share it with me, considering... one wouldn't really expect it... considering my history." She said after a moment.

"So... thank you. Seriously." She added with a light smile.

Hal just smiled as the food was dished out.

Vincent was silent as Rowena said what she did.

"Well, Hollie doesn't care about histories." he said.

"For better or for worse, for wiser or for more foolish." he went on.

"She trusts very easily." he continued.

"...sometimes TOO easily." he added.

Rowena didn't seem to miss a beat.

"Much like yourself, in some instances." She stated calmly b efore looking to Hollie after taking a bite.

"You said oyu haven't altered the receipe?" She asked.

"Nahh, I loved the original, so I haven't altered it. It's still the same, even the bread is fresh from Mother's recipe as well." Hollie answered with a smile.

"Why?" She then asked.

"Heh, because this is freaking delicious. The only time I've had anything anywhere near as tasty, would be with my son's food." Rowena answered, which net a chuckle from Hollie.

Vincent was silent, but then nodded.

"Mother's casserole was... certainly something special." he said.

"She rarely made it, and it was usually reserved for special occasions." he went on.

"Understandable." Hal chimed in.

"This is truly some of the best I've ever tasted." he said.

"...mm." Vincent mumbled in response.

Quiet! Lady Luna is speaking!- - - -

"And I'm sure you've had plenty." Hollie commented.

"So quite an achievement to be 'the best' you've had." She then added.

"But I can't take credit for it. Mother's recipe and all." She said with a smile.

- - - -All right, she is finished. You may speak again.

Hal just chuckled.

"She certainly knew how to cook, then." he said.

"She knew how to do more than just that." Vincent interjected quickly.

"She was a wonderful woman, and her talents dwarf a great many people I know and have known." he said further.

"I do not doubt that." Hal responded.

"Mm." Vincent mumbled.

Quiet! Lady Luna is speaking!- - - -

"It's rather shocking how much of a woman she was." Hollie then said.

"And she is missed by ... few, since most people who knew her aren't around anymore. But when she was alive, she was greatly missed." She was silent for a moment before sighing.

"Shall we move onto happier topics though? I'd rather not spend the evening missing my mother." She commented with a light laugh.

- - - -All right, she is finished. You may speak again.

"But of course." Hal replied.

"..." Vincent was silent.

"So, Rowena." Hal then said, addressing Rowena.

"How's your sister?" he asked her.

"Haven't heard from her in a bit. She all right?" he asked further. "Or is she caught up in finding ingredients for new teas?" he inquired.

Amber Lynne

Quiet! Lady Luna is speaking!- - - -

Rowena just laughed lightly as Hal asked his question.

"Yeah... she tends to be caught up doing things." She said.

"What is she currently looking for? Do you know?" Hollie then asked.

"Oh, I think... bloody hell, I can't rightly recall. I think it's a type of strawberry that tastes more like mint.... unless that's what she'd been looking for previously and found that. I ... can't really keep up with what she's after day to day." Rowena answered with a laugh.

- - - -All right, she is finished. You may speak again.

Colin

Friend PM Trade

Vincent was silent as that was said.

"Perhaps the Purple Barbed Strawberry?" he asked.

"Might be handy." he said.

The strawberry in question DID taste more like mint... but there was a big issue with it. It was known to be poisonous to specific species on the planet.

Notably, ones that were born of mana.

Like djinns.

Rowena shook her head.

"No, not that. Rocky wants to make sure that her teas are available to anyone and anything." She commented before sighing.

"Plus, Lindsay would likely be in trouble if he were to have anything with any of that in there, considering what he is." She added.

"Oh! Is she looking for the Speared Strawberry?" Hollie asked. Rowena looked to her, thought for a moment, and nodded.

"Yeah! That's exactly it." She answered.

"Good to know. I think I have some. I'll try and track her down to give her some then. They're... notoriously difficult to find."

- - - -All right, she is finished. You may speak again.

"Hmmm." Vincent muttered, thinking a bit.

"True. Very true." he said.

"But I know she makes private blends for those she's close to." he went on.

"And she's close to you, Hollie." he continued.

"Maybe she can make some tea with the barbed berry in it." he went on.

"Like I said, could be handy." he added.

Hal was silent. He knew what Vincent was saying here.
