WHO: Mairead [NPC] and Saint George
WHAT: Being cuties
WHEN: Tuesday, late afternoonish
WHERE: Their house

Mairead had settled into her new home with her new family with hardly even a hiccup. By the time she rid herself of her birth parents, she had been well ready to move on, and it helped that she had moved on to the home of her very best friends in all the world. Now when she thought of her parents, she thought of Patrick and Clio. Her birth parents were just that. They had never openly cared for her the way Patrick and Clio did anyway. In a way, since joining her new family, Mairead had blossomed into a more outgoing person. She definitely benefited from the care and affection they lavished upon her.

She returned from school and, as always, she hung her jacket up nearly inside the door before searching out someone to talk to. She found George in the kitchen preparing tea and instead of saying hello, she simply walked straight up to him and wrapped her arms around his waist in a hug.

	George was deeply involved in the process of making his tea, so involved that he didn't hear Mairead come in. He let out a surprised "oof!" when she wrapped her arms around him. "Hey, kiddo," he said with a grin, wrapping an arm around her shoulders to return the hug. "Want some tea?" (Reply to this) (Thread)

	"Apple tea!" she exclaimed, still clinging for a moment longer before letting go. Then she added a, "please," because she was nothing if not polite. "I love the apple cinnamon stuff because if you add enough sugar it tastes like apple pie and apple pie is my very favourite. Do you like apple pie?" Another thing Mairead did more of now, was talk. A lot. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Apple pie is the superior pie," George said, nodding sagely and pouring a cup for her. Although shy at first, Mairead was starting to open up more and more to him, and it was something he appreciated very much. "How was school?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Mairead took the cup and then she carried it over to the little kitchen table/breakfast nook where she settled down. Once she was no longer carrying hot liquid, she bounced around and grinned.

"OH, George! So there's this Halloween party coming up right? I mean, duh, it's on Halloween. Anyway I thought I wouldn't get asked because like no one used to know me because I didn't say anything and I was hiding all bruises and stuff, but now I talk and the like me more and so I got told I can go!" Then she opened her mouth wide to show how surprised she was and how very exciting this news happened to me.

	George giggled into his cup of tea and sat down across from her. "Oooh, what are you going to be? I'm dressing up as Thor for Comic-con, we could go shopping for costume stuff?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	shamrocked_ 2013-09-23 11:07 pm UTC (link)
	Mairead's mouth dropped when he said that. "Holy potatoes, you're going to Comic-con?! I want to go! I could be Valkyrie! Uhm...but anyway, I don't know yet because I want to be something awesome. Costume shopping would be fun! I don't want to be something totally stupid like a princess or a fairy. I want to be like...Captain Hook!" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"Yes I am!" George said, doing a bit of bouncing himself. "And awesome, awesome, definitely be Valkyrie." Visions of being the best coplayers in the whole city danced in his head. "My girlfriend might be coming too, I haven't asked yet, but I think she'd want to dress up as a Frost Giant or something equally big and punch-y. And I bet we can find you a Captain Hook costume. Are you thinking the Disney version?"

"Oooh, Wrath would make a good Frost Giant," Mairead nodded. "She's scowly too." Mairead had really only met her briefly a few times while she was at Patrick's work, but Wrath had pretty much always been scowly. She accepted that there must be a softer side to the Sin though, since both George and Patrick seemed fond of her. "I totally wanna come too it'll be amazing."

Mairead screwed up her face a little, thinking about costumes for the party. "Maybe! I think most of the girls will be thinking about being all cute for the boys but like forget that because all the boys my age are so ridiculous."

	"We could get her platform shoes to make her tall," George said, considering. He took costumes seriously. "And yes, they really are," George said, shaking his head. "I remember being that age. Teenage boys have been dumb since ancient Rome." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Mairead grinned at that and she took another sip of tea. "You know, it's probably for the best she isn't all that tall because she'd be terrifying!"

Tracing invisible patterns against the wood of the table with her fingers, she said, "I don't understand the big deal. I don't even know if I like boys. I might like girls! I'll figure it out," she nodded. "But I want to go to the party and dance! And my new friend Lacey will be there. She's really nice."

	George smiled into his tea. "And you've still got plenty of time to figure it out. Your whole life, really. You should bring Lacey over for dinner sometime, you know how the dogs love new people." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	shamrocked_ 2013-09-24 12:31 am UTC (link)
	"I should!" she said happily. "It's weird I never wanted to bring anyone over before, but now I have an awesome house and family and I'll totally share. Did you go to parties when you were young?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	monster_slayer 2013-09-25 07:14 pm UTC (link)
	"I did," George said with a smile. "Although parties in those days were mostly 'someone kills a goat and then everyone stands in the street and drinks.' Good times, good times." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	shamrocked_ 2013-09-25 07:20 pm UTC (link)
	She wrinkled her nose up cutely as she laughed and waved her arms around. "Ew!" she managed to get out through the giggles, "you're super icky! I hope no one kills a goat at this party! I think it's mostly going to be scary movies and eating a load of sugar which I really like. Lacey and I are going to learn the Thriller dance before it and do it there!"

	George reached out and ruffled her hair. "Sounds like a good time. I remember when the Thriller video first premiered, it was amazing." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"I forget you're so old sometimes. Goat parties and Thriller. You're awesome." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	monster_slayer 2013-09-29 08:49 pm UTC (link)
	"Old as dirt," George said with a smile. "Older than some dirt, really. And you're awesome. Patrick and Clio are so happy to have you here." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Just realised this is in Patrick's journal so I'll move it later :D shamrocked_ 2013-09-29 10:41 pm UTC (link)
	Mairead blushed then and she looked up at him, her ice blue eyes suddenly filled with slight trepidation. "I hope so," she whispered. "I don't want them to get tired of me. You know. Like my parents did?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Hoshit, it is! I didn't notice either XD monster_slayer 2013-10-01 02:11 pm UTC (link)
	"Hey," George said very seriously, "Clio is protective like a mother bear, okay? And you're definitely her cub now. And Patrick...Patrick is the most loyal person I have ever met. Some people in your life might abandon you, but never those two." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

I AM SO SMIRT! I think I'll leave a link to this in the thing I post though. For icons.

That made her bit her lip and blush a bit more. "They really are so wonderful." They didn't have to care, but they did. Mairead didn't really understand why, but she didn't want to question it. "Uhm...what about you?" she asked, not daring to look at him. Perhaps it wasn't fair to put him on the spot, but she was fifteen and she had just lost her birth family in a terrible way.

	He reached out and tilted her chin up gently. "I'm the most annoyingly persistent person in the world, or so I've been told. You're never getting rid of me." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Her face split into a grin and then she jumped forward to pull him into a tight hug. "Thank you," she whispered. (Reply to this) (Parent)
