I don't know how I expected to fully enjoy a vacation like this. It's fun, and all, but there's just so much to worry about. Sneaking out of bed in the middle of the night, scouring lists, it's ridiculous, I'll wake up Matthew and I have no excuse for this.

...I should just tell him. At least then, if it goes wrong, he'll have seen it coming.

[Private to Jules - hackable for Matthew/Peter]

If your invitation is still open, I'd still like to make a stop by your house before I go off to the States. It's about time to make amends, wouldn't you say?

[/Private]

France is beautiful. There may have been a setback or two, but we're all having a good time now. In the morning we're going on the move again...I feel like visiting Bordeaux. And then, hopefully, Normandy.

((ooc: The first part is hackable if you know about her Death Eater hunt. Which I think is just Jules and Regene, but I could be wrong.))

Alright then. Have you any requests?

I'm sorry to hear that, I would have liked to properly send him off...

[donttelldaddy.livejournal.com]

No, you make what you want, and I'm sure it'll be lovely.

There's no need to be sorry, it's his job. He'll see me off before I go to the summer camp. And he promised to tell me all about it, so it's just fine~

[invisicanuck.livejournal.com]

Still fond of blueberries?

I imagine his line of work must be fascinating to hear about.

[donttelldaddy.livejournal.com]

Always ♥

Well, not really, but...he works with some interesting people.

[invisicanuck.livejournal.com]

Perhaps I could bring it up to bed.

Politicians are always an interesting bunch, yes. ...it would be odd if my dad ever worked with your father.

-- oh and I meant breakfast

[donttelldaddy.livejournal.com]

I know you meant breakfast. Oh dear, Matthew, how will we get anything accomplished if your mind's gotten dirtier than mine is~?

It's entirely possible, given his foreign relations background. What does your father do?

[invisicanuck.livejournal.com]

We've gotten plenty accomplished with my mind as it is.

He was an Auror, but he was in the Department of International Magical Cooperation for some time. None too sure he worked with erm, ...Francophone nations though.

[donttelldaddy.livejournal.com]

I wasn't complaining~

He could have been the Minister. If your father worked with France at all, they might have had at least some brief contact.

[invisicanuck.livejournal.com]

Though if you have any suggestions, I'd be happy to comply.

I'll have to ask him next time I see him. That would be... interesting.

[donttelldaddy.livejournal.com]

...are we still talking about breakfast?

He didn't mention anything to me about being acquainted with any Kirklands, though.

[ ink splatter ] Perhaps.

Well I'm sure they'd get along if Dad is g, if they were to ever meet.

My dad gets along with everyone.

SHH let me sit here with my fake gold medal

[invisicanuck.livejournal.com]

The offer always stands.

My dad gets along with people. ...selectively.

[donttelldaddy.livejournal.com]

Uh huh...what are you doing right now?

Selectively?

[invisicanuck.livejournal.com]

...writing at you?

Excuse me, I didn't mean to sound critical, but ah - Dad is old fashioned.

[donttelldaddy.livejournal.com]

Well, I'm bored. And Kazama seems to have forgotten that speaking is unacceptable, again, so I'm going over there so I won't have to deal with her.

So is mine, but he still tries to get along with everyone.

[invisicanuck.livejournal.com]

She seems to have wh-- [ never mind, not going to continue that line of thought ] -- Of course. Door's open.

... Dad would probably get along with you at least.

[Lili slips through the door, and leans back against it until it closes.]

What was that supposed to mean?

[ Matthew sits up from his lazy position on the bed with a smile, journal resting on his lap. Time to act like he doesn't what she's talking about! ]

Excuse me?

[Action]

[donttelldaddy.livejournal.com]

The way you said it, it didn't sound like it was a good thing.

[You can't play dumb with her, Matty. She goes ahead and invites herself over, sitting next to him.]

What did you mean?

[Action]

[invisicanuck.livejournal.com]

[ Matthew rubs the back of his neck. ]

... Sorry, uh - are you talking about I said about my father?

[Action]

[donttelldaddy.livejournal.com]

Yes...

[Maybe she was just thinking too hard about it. Anything to take her mind off the tangled web of drama and worrying that had become her life, lately. She sighs, shaking her head.]

Nevermind. I'm exhausted. My body doesn't have enough energy to keep up with my brain, I'm afraid. [Lili lays her head against Matthew's chest, her eyes closing and opening again half-lidded.]

[Action]

[invisicanuck.livejournal.com]

I'm sorry, Lili. I didn't mean to imply anything bad.

[ Her obvious lack of energy came to Matthew as a surprise. After all, they had shared a bed since the start of vacation and kept similar sleeping schedules because of it. Unlike her, he felt perfectly rested (naps aside) despite the level of activity they subscribed to during the day. Lili was an athlete like him as well, if not a much better one, anyway. Why would she be... ]

...exhausted? What's wrong?

[ Eyebrows furrowed, Matthew wrapped an arm around her shoulders and settled them both back down onto to mattress. ]

Do I snore?
