[Locked from Cassel]


So say you're planning a trip to meet your boyfriend's family.

And said boyfriend's mom is complete and total psychopath who can fuck with your mind if she touches you.

And you think maybe you should actually try to get along with these complete strangers because maybe, someday in the far, far off future you might actually see yourself getting together with this fucking idiot with stupid hair.


What kind of gift do you bring?

...Do I need to wear gloves? This is going to make using chopsticks difficult.

That's a really suspicious tone of voice you have there, Iris.

[routemistress]

I would think so. Ask Cassel, 'e probably won't prank you if 'is family's involved.

Look, if you do drug anything, make sure you blame me, all right?

[mistconduct]

I can see that going over well.

"Sorry about your hangover, Cassel's Mom. My not-Aunt on the prison ship where I went after I died and was redeemed told me to do it."

[routemistress]

Just say your mad travelling aunt brought it back from abroad. Keep it simple, darling. Really, 'as Cassel taught you nowt?

[mistconduct]

I'm not good with talking to people who are super fucking adult assholes. I fuck it up.

[routemistress]

D'you want me to come along to draw the enemy's fire?

[mistconduct]

Nah. That'd just make it weirder. I have to find a way to get along with these people.

[routemistress]

I've never met anyone that didn't love you. Even 'ere. So just be yourself, my darling.

You got on with Barron all right, didn't you?

[mistconduct]

A little. We didn't really know each other too well. Mostly I just knew him in the context of "Cassel's weird big brother."
