~68th Dance~

[donttelldaddy]

First day of NEWTs is down, then. I don't think I'll do any more studying, there comes a point where trying to cram more information into your head is more harmful than anything else.

Good luck, everyone.

[Looooooong pause.]

Father's day is the weekend of our release. I haven't decided yet what I should do for it. I should.

Have you talked to him yet?

Filtered

[donttelldaddy.livejournal.com]

I have a letter.

Filtered

[redwhiteandhero.livejournal.com]

Are you gonna send it?

Filtered

[donttelldaddy.livejournal.com]

Oh, no, it's from him.

Filtered

[redwhiteandhero.livejournal.com]

What does it say?

Filtered

[donttelldaddy.livejournal.com]

I haven't opened it.

Filtered

[redwhiteandhero.livejournal.com]

You're gonna have to open it.

Filtered

[donttelldaddy.livejournal.com]

I don't have to open it today.

Filtered

[redwhiteandhero.livejournal.com]

Do you want me to do it?

Filtered

[donttelldaddy.livejournal.com]

No.

Filtered

[redwhiteandhero.livejournal.com]

Why not?

Filtered

[donttelldaddy.livejournal.com]

Because then I can't ignore it any longer.

Filtered

[redwhiteandhero.livejournal.com]

You don't even know what he's said yet. It might not even be all that bad.

Filtered

[donttelldaddy.livejournal.com]

If I don't look, I won't know either way.

Filtered

[redwhiteandhero.livejournal.com]

So what are you going to do? Not go home?

Filtered

[donttelldaddy.livejournal.com]

I don't know. I have other places to go, if I wanted.

Filtered

[redwhiteandhero.livejournal.com]

[Oh, she's serious.]

You could come stay at my place. If you had to.

Filtered

[donttelldaddy.livejournal.com]

With Fin? That's...fine, Alfred, I know plenty of people in Paris.

Filtered

[redwhiteandhero.livejournal.com]

[Yeah, and he doesn't trust any of those people :|] No really, I mean it.

Filtered

[donttelldaddy.livejournal.com]

I know you do. I'll go if you want me to.

Filtered

[redwhiteandhero.livejournal.com]

But I think you should read the letter first.

Filtered

[donttelldaddy.livejournal.com]

Oh, certainly, certainly. After exams.

Filtered

[redwhiteandhero.livejournal.com]

Fair enough.

[filtered]

[dofaye.livejournal.com]

You should. Decide, I mean, not study.

[filtered]

[donttelldaddy.livejournal.com]

You're right. I might not be at home at all, though.

[filtered]

[dofaye.livejournal.com]

And risk giving your entire household a collective heart attack?

[filtered]

[donttelldaddy.livejournal.com]

My entire household consists of myself and my father.

[filtered]

[dofaye.livejournal.com]

It would be a very small heart attack, relatively speaking. Besides, I thought that your father was the one who you cared about the most?

[filtered]

[donttelldaddy.livejournal.com]

Of course he is. But when I see him, it will require a talk that I am very far from prepared for, and you know that.

[filtered]

[dofaye.livejournal.com]

Lili, you still don't even know what he's found out about you. You ought to at least make sure that he's even upset before you run away from him.

[filtered]

[donttelldaddy.livejournal.com]

I know he's upset, I'm not an idiot, Jules.

[filtered]

[dofaye.livejournal.com]

Fine then, you ought to make sure that he's upset to the degree that it would be better to avoid him for an indefinite amount of time.

[filtered]

[donttelldaddy.livejournal.com]

It's not indefinite. After exams.

[filtered]

[dofaye.livejournal.com]

Are you certain about that?

[Because right now he's still thinking that she's going to disappear for years or something like that.]

[filtered]

[donttelldaddy.livejournal.com]

That's what I told Alfred.

[filtered]

[dofaye.livejournal.com]

That doesn't necessarily mean that it's true.

[filtered]

[donttelldaddy.livejournal.com]

Yes it does.

[filtered]

[dofaye.livejournal.com]

You've never lied to him?

[filtered]

[donttelldaddy.livejournal.com]

Not recently.

[filtered]

[dofaye.livejournal.com]

That's still not much of a guarantee, but I know I'll have to take your word on it for now. Until exams are over seems the right amount of time, I think.

[filtered]

[donttelldaddy.livejournal.com]

That's right. It's perfect.

[filtered]

[dofaye.livejournal.com]

Would it be too much to request for you to inform me of what happens?

[filtered]

[donttelldaddy.livejournal.com]

...no, it wouldn't.

[filtered]

[dofaye.livejournal.com]

[That's a relief. And hey, it sounds like she'll even tell the truth.]

All right. That's really all I have the right to ask of you.
