Theo- Forward dated to Saturday, 3 pm
Julian had arranged with the parents of one of Michel's playmates for one to watch Michel while the other accompanied Julian on his call. So with Madeline Macen, Julian showed up at the hotel, promptly at 3pm. He'd brushed his hair, had his hands slapped away by Madeline every time he'd tried to put his fingers into it. He hadn't been able to be talked out of bringing a potted plant, however.

Despite having done this before, he wasn't very good at it. Twelve years out of practice too. He sent word with a maid for Theo that he was at the hotel and went to a sitting room to wait, sitting and talking with Madeline. When the door opened, he stood immediately, sketching a half-bow.

	Theo grinned, slipping his arm through Julian's again. "Yes, but very true. She has some very exacting ideas on what's appropriate and what is not. My brothers and sisters that chose Ascendent were taught some very rigid rules." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Theo laughed softly and nodded, "Oh my yes." He rolled his eyes a little, "I didn't really mind. I think I knew by the time I was five that I was a Beloved. What about you? When did you know?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
