There were a large number of tubs of icecream put out on just about every flat surface available with a spell to keep them cold. Coffee and tea ready and remaining warm. Cold drinks stuffed in the fridge. Onesies sorted by size at the door, for people who didn't have one.

"He really was. He teased his older sisters and loved us all so much." She sniffled again. "I never worried about talking to him. He'd always listen and then worry about his reaction later. He always took charge when it was needed, but he'd listen to anyone else that might have a better idea." She couldn't keep the tears back anymore. She had a feeling she'd be crying off and on quite a bit.

Darcy was really getting a sense of how fragmented everything here was. This Ashley clearly remembered growing up with her father in her life, but the younger version of her now wouldn't. There was a small part of him that wished for her sake that she could return to her own time as see him again - and then a more selfish voice that didn't want that at all. At least, not unless she could take him with her.

She started crying again, and Darcy held her tightly, making gentle 'sssh' noises at her as he ran his hands up and down her back. "I'm glad that you can never have any cause to doubt the love he had for you all," he said softly.

She hated that the little girl playing with her cousins would only know her father through stories. But she would make sure that she knew at least that.

"Not even once." She always knew her parents loved her, and each other. She stayed quiet for a moment and just let the tears come. A good cry helped sometimes. "I don't know if I could do this without you." She whispered. Yes, she had lost family before but never anyone as close to her as this time.

	"Well, you don't have to. I'm right here, my love," he assured her softly, pressing a little kiss to the top of her head. "I'm yours always." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Ashley smiled a little. She did like the little terms of endearment. "I'm getting you all wet." She chuckled softly, referring to the tears soaking his onesie. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Well, that's fine. It feels like quite an absorbent material," he told her. It was like he was currently designed to be a sponge for tears. "I'm very pleased that I was able to meet with your brother," he said after a moment's thought. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Ashley nodded. She sat up just enough to wipe her eyes but stay cuddled next to him. "He teased me endlessly after that." She chuckled. "Good natured, of course." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Of course he did," he smiled over at her. From what she'd told him about TK so far, it didn't surprise him at all. And of course he knew that she'd have teased him just as much if it had been the other way around. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"He liked you." She nodded. "Thought you needed to lighten up a bit but definitely liked you." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"I liked him very well, too," he told her. It was the truth - and while he wouldn't have told her right now if he hadn't, he wouldn't have lied about it either. He'd have just said nothing on the subject. "And I think you will help me greatly with that," he told her, pressing another little kiss to her cheek. It was true that he was already much more relaxed, at least around her and people he felt he knew a little. He didn't doubt that he was always going to be just a little uptight at large parties or other stressful social situations.

Ashley put a hand in the middle of his chest and lightly pulled at the onesie. "You're well on your way." She nodded. She wasn't always completely comfortable at parties, so she wouldn't expect him to be. But at least he could enjoy himself a bit more. She gave him a quick kiss on the lips.

"I need to powder my nose, do to speak, and with these things on it's a bit of an ordeal." She chuckled.

	“Oh, yes. If people from home could see me sporting this, they’d think I’d been partaking of the green tea, if you know what I mean,” he joked a little. Even that was lighter than his usual mode of conversing. But he was happy, and comfortable with her. He was very happy. “Yes, of course,” he nodded, giving her another little kiss before they disentangled. (Reply to this) (Parent)
