To the best guardian I've known,

You are cordially invited to a very fine dinner. My sister has picked out a recipe. We'd like to see you at your earliest convenience.

[She isn't sure if the filters are still broken or not, but if more people want to know about the dinner, she'll be happy to tell them.]

[Percy casually scratches in the v, f and d to make them more prominent. He sees what you did there]

I don't think he can resist an invite like that.

[signedlefthanded]

I would hope not.

[quadro_dent]

[Sunny is, meanwhile, very carefully scraping lemon zest off the lemons with her teeth. What?]

[waterproofed]

I finally met your sister, by the way. I'll need you as a translator if ever we're all in the same room.

[signedlefthanded]

[She laughs.] Yeah, she's still learning.

[signedlefthanded]

I'm not sure if that's sanitary.

[waterproofed]

Still pretty smart for a toddler.

[quadro_dent]

[really, Violet. Don't be cramping her style. Besides, it's hard to hold the lemon in one hand and the grater with the other when your hands are as small as hers.]

Colgate. [Or rather "Don't worry, Violet. I brushed my teeth first."]

[signedlefthanded]

You can still infect people. Typhoid Mary. [She reminds her.] I can hold the grater.

[signedlefthanded]

She really is.

[waterproofed]

Must be a family trait, huh? Being super-smart.

[signedlefthanded]

My brother is far smarter.

[waterproofed]

Heh. It's gonna be really intimidating when all three of you are together.

[theabjectauthor]

[he's flattered beyond words, and stares at the journal for a moment, trying to figure out the best way to respond. after a while:]

I am flattered beyond words, Violet... but of course I will come. I had heard that Sunny was becoming quite a versatile foodstuffs dynamo, and would be honored to sample whatever the two of you choose to offer.

[signedlefthanded]

I do not think so. I would never presume to be smarter than any of the company I keep. I may know a lot on building things, but you have knowledge of fighting and weapons that I don't. My sister knows cooking, and my brother is very good at etymology and reading as much as he can.

[signedlefthanded]

Oh, it is mostly on Sunny. She picked the recipe. I will only attempt to be a sous-chef.

[waterproofed]

But I bet you could do those things if you wanted.

[signedlefthanded]

I don't think I'd be as knowledgeable as you are.

[waterproofed]

Swinging a sword isn't that hard. I could teach you if you wanted to learn.

[signedlefthanded]

I do have a sword.

[waterproofed]

Yeah? Then my offer definitely stands.

[signedlefthanded]

Then whenever you want.

[theabjectauthor]

How very exciting. [he means it, too.... he will always, always encourage their passions. it is the very least he can do]

And when should I plan upon joining you?

[quadro_dent]

[Typhoid Mary? R.U.D.E.

Though she does have a point. Sunny nods and grabs a fresh lemon.]

Gracias. ["Thank you for the help. I want to make sure the meal is perfect."]

[signedlefthanded]

Whenever you are free. This is for you.
