rp: a whole new world Who: Tristan and Bryce (and Sophie) What: Eating and exploring Where: The Corner, Finnigan's When: Saturday, April 4, early afternoon Rating: Probably SFW
As part of his attempt to introduce his daughter - and reacquaint himself - with the magical world and all that that entailed, Bryce had brought Sophie out to Finnigan's for lunch. There was nothing overly obvious to him that would indicate the pub was any different from others he'd eaten in over the last few years, but Sophie was well aware that the people filling it were wizards and witches, and it showed. The little girl's curious stares at nearly every person had Bryce constantly reminding her that it wasn't polite, but it seemed that the only thing truly capable of distracting her was the bookshelf standing the room they'd chosen a table in. No matter what happened around her, her eyes kept returning it, blonde curls bouncing every time she turned her head.
He'd hoped that food would provide something entertaining enough to keep Sophie's attention, but in between bites, he could still see her glancing over, and Bryce couldn't help but smile softly to himself every time he caught his daughter doing it. About halfway through lunch, Sophie looked up at him and said, "Hey, Daddy?"
With a chuckle, Bryce answered, "Yes, princess, you can go look at the bookshelf - after you finish lunch." Sophie's wide eyes at his apparent mind-reading skills made him laugh again, and he reached out to tug lightly on one of the curls next to her face as he instructed, "Eat your fish." The second half of Sophie's fish and chips disappeared quite a bit faster than the first, and just a few minutes later she was hopping own from her chair, as he reminded her to stay in sight. Bryce could see her hair flapping around a little wildly as she nodded absentmindedly, already entranced by the books she was making her way towards, and he made sure to keep an eye on her as he finished his own food at a more leisurely pace.
