The grins on the faces of the D'Oiravere-Liu family were contagious, especially as Bezine and Eirene stepped forward to hug Caden and Daniil both. "We no would let you celebrate your nameday alone," Eirene confirmed. "You are too much alone already." "And I know Fyadorian cooking non is easy,"...

Eirene shrugged at Tanya's inquiry. "Caden no is much one for formality; dat is more Lieutenant Ryalor, at least on duty. I tink appaws is good enough." "Applause, Mum," Morgan called from near the window, looking back to her. "No, is appaws," Eirene stated, adamant. "You do it wit' your...

Eirene braced herself before following after Caden, mimicking him as best she could - his walk, his stance, everything. He'd been here before, he'd practically grown up in this building, so it stood to reason that he would understand its norms and traditions more deeply than he could even...

Eirene chuckled as the hare made mention of the Smudgies. "After my wife was fired from Misantropy for her being wit' me," she recalled, "she and de Minister goed to de Smudgies. I tink she was wanting to be one first, but her minister goed to Misantropy and no to Niceties. She always says in...

Eirene chuckled at the hare's enthusiastic response. "Dank you," she replied, glancing over from her cleaning. "We dis autumn are married twenty-five years. I no know yet what we do to celebrate. Maybe we go see dat place togetter." She finished brushing away the rest of the rust, blowing once...

Eirene laughed as she stumbled slightly as well, the world swimming. "I should ask you de same ting." --- Bezine, Eirene, and Morgan showed up at the Freemonts' door well before Daniil. Bezine and Eirene had brought a covered pan each, as well as a bag of groceries each with which to complete...

Eirene chuckled gently as Caden settled in against her. He was a bit old to be treating her as a mother figure, but she supposed that her current age couldn't be that different from what his mother's would have been if she'd survived. Besides, if she was to be the "mom friend" to him and Daniil...

Eirene nodded in understanding of Caden's point, and his fears. It was easy to believe oneself cursed, to withdraw from the affection of others rather than risk having one's heart broken again, or hurting others in the process. Bezine had been in much the same place when she and Eirene had met...

Eirene was quiet for a moment, then slid down to sit next to Caden. "Maybe," she suggested slowly, "de first step is let him know you care. Is clear you love him, if use dat word no scares you. Maybe show dat first, den tell him later." A spark of an idea entered her mind, and she began to draw...

Eirene listened as Caden confessed in her, somehow managing to keep her expression... well, reasonably straight. She considered admitting to him that she'd figured out the situation weeks ago, really almost as soon as they'd met, but that seemed like the exact thing that Caden didn't need to...

Eirene nodded her understanding, fetching her coin purse and, after fumbling with this strange Vulpinsulan money, finally fetched out a ten gilder piece that seemed sufficient to cover her drinks and a tip. Once they'd paid the bill, they stumbled out a side door into a nicely kept alley, both...

Eirene winced in unison with Caden as the alcohol hit the back of her throat. "Dat burns," she grumbled, setting the shot down. "Sorry, you are very generous. I no am often drinker," she admitted. "I would like visiting you dough. Our families are friends is good." She hesitated before asking...

"No no no!" Eirene hurried to put a paw on his shoulder, leaning across the table and inadvertently knocking over her empty mug. "Is okay! I am happy learning your toughts." She gave him a friendly, sympathetic smile as she commented, "Is hard our age beasts make friends. I am glad being yours."

Eirene smiled at the hare's antics, finding herself surprisingly relaxed around the woodlander. It was surprisingly easy to talk to him; he seemed quite earnest and eager, good-natured as well. Eirene decided that she liked him, or at least what she'd seen so far. She bit her lip as she...

Eirene nodded slowly, trying to fight down the urge to find a corner and vomit all of the alcohol she'd consumed that evening, to purge herself of the shock and disgust that were at war in her gut. "I no have... dat experience," she stated quietly, looking down at her mug. "I no know have dat...
