Liria's House

-I walk into the dining area and take a seat... I hadn't done this for a while...-

Food is taken out to everyone.-

Elizabeth: smiles at Crouch-

Domicio: Feeling better?

Liria: sits next to Crouch-

-Answers quickly and doesn't address Domicio with eye contact- Slightly.

Domicio: Good..I'll take a look at you after dinner and see what I can do...

Liria: pats Crouch's arm reasurringly-

Elizabeth: Go ahead and start eating.

-As I'm eating I accidentally knock my goblet off the table. It shatters to pieces and it triggers an natural reaction. I raise my arms up to my face in a defensive stance-

OOC I wanna hug Crouch.

IC Elizabeth: stands up and goes over and fixes the goblet and cleans the stain- Now worries.

Domicio: stands up and pats Crouch gently on the shoulder- We won't hurt you, son.

-I look up confused and surprised-

Elizabeth: Accidents happen..-smiles kindly as she straightens up-

Domcio: No one gets hurt in this household...in ANY way at all...-hand is still on Crouch's shoulder-

Liria: smiles at Crouch-

-I can't believe this... no punches in the face? Nothing? I feel this sense of relief and my muscles seem to decompress... was this what normal families were like?-

I... see...

All go back to their seats and finish eating-

Liria: I smile at Crouch-

-I finish eating, my mind still reeling with shock over what happened. This was what Liria grew up with as a child, I look back at her, trying to contain my surprise-

OOC Gonna foreshadow.

Liria: I smile at Crouch's expression-

Elizabeth: How was work?

Domicio: Fine. -but shoots a look at her-

Liria: Doesn't pay notice the exchange-

Elizabeth: looks worried but hides it-

-I notice the glances around them, something was wrong... but it isn't my business to ask them.-

Elizabeth: clears the places-

Domcio: Shall we go fix you up Crouch so you and Liria can leave tomorrow?

Liria: looks hopeful but tries to hide it-

Umm.. I'm not... sure... you really don't have to... sir...

No need to call me "sir" Domicio works just fine..or anything else...and I want to..Come...-stands up-


OOC Maybe my plan will work.

-I'm curious why he's being so kind... but I stand up and follow him-

goes into the room that Crouch has been occupying- Lie down...-says gently-

-I lay down- Why... why are you helping me?

Well...Why not help you? You've helped my daughter out... I'll forever be grateful for all you've done...Which brings me to ask you something..

Well... if Liria has told you about me, it should be fairly obvious why you would've been smart to leave me to rot...

And what is it?

chuckles- Your a good man Crouch.

And...do..do you think...She'll be safe and happy with Artemis- there was concern and a fierce protectiveness in his voice.

Trust me, there's a lot of things I am, a good man -shakes finger- isn't one of them...

And as for that, you were honest with me, so I'll be honest with you. While my disdain for him as a human being is too vast to express... he genuinely loves your daughter and has gone to great lengths to ensure her safety...

relaxes- Good. Now then let's take a look -checks Crouch's injuries and such-

-I stay quiet as he examines my injuries- You know.. I know several healing spells... -frowns- self taught from my... earlier days.
