Mother Knows Best

Dash had thought their little luncheon together and real estate outing had gone pretty well. Aurora was quite pleased about it but he didn't dare tell her about her father's bet with him or the threat he had given him if failed and hurt Aurora in any way. He did his best to make him understand how he truely loved his daughter and was absolutely sincere about marrying her and taking care of her like she deserved to be happy and loved always no matter what. Someday they might have a family though Aurora didn't seem too keen on that right now and he was fine with that he was in no rush really he was just relieved their children would be sirens like her and not potentially dangerous djinns like he was. Most of them were rather mischievious and tricksters tricking people like him into becoming a Djinn after freeing them from their lamps. He never wanted his kids to face the life of being a creature like that. He'd expected to enjoy his sunday and relax while Aurora worked on some project and music of hers and didn't really expect to see her father again so early. He'd barely sat down after lunch to enjoy some show on Las Vegas magicians when Aurora got a call on her cell and then came out to inform him her mother wished to spend a little quality time with him and was sure Aurora's father would be present as well to keep an eye on his wife for safety reasons no doubt not that he had anything against it just seemed he was even more protective and cautious around his wife from the last time Aurora had brought him to meet her parents after their reunion beforehand. So here he was on his way up to meet her parents again this time with his better half by his side. He'd just have to keep his cool and calm around the two so he didn't give Aurora's father any reason to hate him or go back on their deal now last thing he really wanted to do was break Aurora's heart again by having himself sealed away by her father for wronging him. He just hoped he wasn't here too long and could get back to enjoying his own sunday as well with Aurora as he gave a knock on their front door now.

"Why do I have to wait until then if you don't honey?" Reshira asked pouting a little now. She knew he had met with Dash again already no doubt to give a deeper feel about the young man and how he really felt about their daughter. She was sure he had probably threatened him too what would happen if he ever laid a hand against Aurora or hurt her in any way really. She'd smile sheepishly as he then inquired if it had to do with the lack of underwear since she did occasionally walk around in her birthday suit under her clothes they just felt like a hassle sometimes. "Well today is our special time day so I'm not wearing any but that's not the surprise really. Now do you want a hint or should I just tell you what it is?" she replied with a smile on her face now and asked not sure if he was in the mood for a game like this or not so if he asked she would simply tell him then and not tease him any further about it. "I'm serious now soon as he is gone I'll make it up to you we can spend the rest of the day in bed together," she replied laying against him now and nuzzled him a little affectionately now. Then she could hear a knock at the door and moved to get up now straightening herself a little and her dress out more smoothly now. Then Bertram walked in followed by Dash now who looked a little nervous about meeting with both of them this time without Aurora here like the first time they had all met up again. "Just get us some juice and some snacks if you would be so kind Bertram," Reshira spoke up now sure that David would say the same thing as well they were connected after all through telepathy and could sense where each other were or how they were feeling and he didn't really feel like he was in the mood for any alcohol right now. "I'm so glad you could make it Dash please please take a seat," Reshira spoke again once Bertram had left the room again.

"Trust me I would be happy waiting right alongside you. you know that that wasn't my idea to go spend valuable time with him discussing things in a diner of all places. I'm a board room man I'm at my best in the boardroom not at a diner." He said looking at his wife. "I really wish you and Aurora would stop trying to force a connection between the two of us. This man is the reason I had to ship my daughter half way across the world I'd rather not be reminded of that day after day." He said reaching for a cigar that was no longer there. "Man I've never wanted to smoke so bad." He said then Bertram got up to answer the door. He looked at his wife who was halfway out of her seat. "I don't know why you even bother Bertram can hear litter in the next county there's no way you'd beat him to the door." David said as Dash entered and Bertram left to get refreshments. No doubt his daughter knew what kind of mood he'd be in and elected to stay our of it. David looked out the window thinking over the new magic he was intending to build something that at first would be only something he could use, but with a little tweaking maybe it could be used to fit any magi. He rubbed his chin as he thought of his new puppet Magic. This would be so much easier if I had someone to teach me Weapon smithing all I have are books. He thought to himself to anyone else he'd be dead to the world. Then again maybe I can substitute my lack of knowledge in that area with my technical expertise combining magic with science should be easy for me, but where to begin. He wondered looking at Bertram as he entered with three glasses of lemonade alongside a pitcher and some cookies. David grabbed the straw from his glass and began chewing it fervently this was a poor substitute for a cigar but it would have to do as he dove back into his puppet problem.
