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.

Opening his mouth, Tristan had absolutely not idea what to say or how to respond. He closed his mouth quickly, still fussing with the ring on his finger. What was he supposed to say? He didn't want to be rude, but he also didn't want to unintentionally intrude all because he couldn't keep his mouth shut about books. He licked his lips a little, hating that he felt entirely flustered for no good reason. Except that he really hadn't been invited out by many people, even if people was a little girl he suspected wanted to see more magic. And the last time he'd been to the ice cream parlour had been on Halloween with his brother and cousin. He swallowed and decided to try again.

"I do like ice cream," he said, directing his reply to the little girl. That, at least, was easy enough to respond to. "I don't want to intrude, though," he added, shifting his gaze from the little girl to her father. "I'm not especially busy at the moment, but, well, I mean, we've only just met, and we don't even know each other's names!"

Shut up, he scolded himself, pausing to take a breath.

"I'm Tristan, by the way." He stopped fidgeting a moment and extended a hand, taking a step closer to the man and his daughter.

Bryce couldn't quite hold in his small grin at the man's reaction, inexplicably pleased at the response. He couldn't quite get a word in edgewise, though that didn't stop Sophie from saying, "Ice cream is the best!"

Shifting his daughter's weight, Bryce offered a hand, saying, "And I'm Bryce. This is..."

"Sophie!" the little girl proclaimed, throwing both hands up in the air before immediately clapping her hands together to re-catch her newly acquired butterfly.

Chuckling, he said, "It's a pleasure, Tristan. And like I said, you're welcome to join us."
