*is approaching at speed, all smiles, still trying to pin an errant lock of hair back as she speaks into her phone* ...uh-huh. Yes! ... No, don't antagonize them. ...I mean it. ... Really really. Stop it. And leave the bouncy ball in the drawer. *chipperly* Okay then! Love you, see you later!
*hangs up and beams, first at Beren and then at you, heading straight for your father* Hi, sorry, I meant to be down earlier but I got caught up in this planning thing and then I checked on Alexander and I always forget the rest of the world when I'm watching him sleep, but hi!
*pulls Beren in for a hug (which isn't very manly, but neither is she, these days)* Beren, where've you been hiding? *grinning knowingly* And who's this handsome young man?
