One.. by... one.
They only fall... a-part.
Can it be.. undone?

The reactions were... mixed, amongst those that were there.

Desiree had a knowing look, hidden behind a small smirk.

Darryl's eyes had widened a little, and he looked over towards Jaden to see what would happen.

Bast looked completely surprised by the sudden question, but shrugged.

"I wouldn't have any objections to that." he said.

Jaden had been taking a bit of dessert when that all transpired, and he'd almost choked on it, nearly spitting it back up before forcibly swallowing.

"ExCUSE me!?" he exclaimed.

Why can't I just be
The one
For once!?

Jordan just looked to Jaden.

"Excuse you!" She replied before looking to Bast, smirking.

"My room, tonight. Sound good?" She asked, knowing this was likely getting under Jaden's skin quite nicely. She was doing it because she acquired this meanstreak from her Nana, but also because she wanted to prove a point. That he could truist her with every aspect of her life.

If it even worked that way, of course. There was no way for her to know, really. But that's why she did it in the first place.

Plus she liked to watch him squirm.

Bast just leaned back in his chair.

"Yeah?" he asked.

"Mighty short notice." he commented.

"Buuuut I think that's doable." he told her.

Jaden, meanwhile, was practically beside himself with fury and disbelief, as he sputtered incoherently, and tried his best not to lash out with the knee-jerk reaction that was threatening to emerge.

And Darryl had just leaned forward, burying his face in his hands.

Desiree was laughing, as Jordan looked to Bast and continued the conversation they were having.

"Good to know. I mean we could bail now if you wanted. Find a nice private and secluded area." She commented, looking to Jaden.

"Is my room still sound proofed from when I had night terrors and kept waking you guys with my screams?" She asked. "I... never knew if that faded or stayed or what."

Jaden almost had no voice now.

He was trying very hard not to explode right now, and it showed.

Instead, he merely shoved himself away from the table, quickly got to his feet, and left the room.

Darryl was silent for another moment, and then sighed heavily.

"...it is." he told her.

"It was never undone. To answer your question."

"Really?" Jordan asked her brother.

"I thought it woulda faded by now."[b] She admitted before shrugging.

[b]"Good to know, though." She added before sighing.

"I'm gonna go talk to him." With that, she pushed away from the table, following her father.

They watched her go, an Bast shook his head slightly.

"Even -I- have to admit, that was cruel." he said.

"Mr. Sherwood's restraint WAS impressive, though." he then admitted further.

Jordan found her father outside, sitting in one of the lawn chairs, clutching at his hair and hat, head down near his knees.

It was clear he was struggling right now, and she could almost FEEL how he wanted to scream out.

Jordan made her way over and just got on her knees in front of him, sitting back on her heels.

"Hey... dad?" She greeted.

"I'm sorry, but... I was... I was just having some fun." She added. He could hear it in her voice. She was sorry, completely and utterly.

"..." Jaden was silent for a moment.

"...I know." he then said.

"I... I know." he repeated. "You're a lot like your grandmother that way." he said with a light laugh. "Guess her sense of humour rubbed off on you." he reasoned.

"Makes sense, you spent so much time with her." he went on.

"...regardless, I had a feeling you were doing that on purpose." he continued.

"Hence why I left so abruptly, and came out here. I didn't want to say anything I didn't mean, and I would regret later."

"I am sorry... I know I really shouldn't have pushed your buttons like that, but I also... didn't really think of it." Jordan commented.

"I ... you know I'm not one to think things through, exactly." She added with a light chuckle.

"But... are you ok with the future?" She asked him after a moment or two.

"I really like Bast... and I do think I want to pursue it."

Jaden shook his head some.

"I know." he said.

"Again, like your grandmother." he told her.

"...and am I okay with the future?" he then asked in response.

"Maybe." he said.

"Is your mother okay with you pursuing a future with Sebastien?" he asked her.

"If she is... then I am, too." he told her.

"I just want you to be happy, sweetie..." he then said with a small smile.

"Yeah... yeah she is." Jordan told him honestly.

"I checked with her first, before pulling my stunt tonight. I knew that if I didn't get at least one of your approvals... I wouldn't hear the end of it." She added.

"But I do really like him, and I know he's a good person. Darryl's his roommate and has been for years." She paused here, thinking.

"So... I really don't think you need to worry about him. And can't corrupt a vmapire, anyway."

Jaden just sighed, and she could hear the massive relief in it.

"Good." he said.

"Your mother's a good judge of character. And Lex and Llilm are trustworthy." he reasoned.

"And if you like Sebastien, and he likes you back, then go for it." he told her.

"But please... don't let me know about your private dealings." he then said.

"I'm sure nobody in the house wants to hear about it." he reasoned further, before pausing.

"...unless your mother and you have some sort of 'girl-talk' about it, I don't know that sort of dynamic." he admitted.

Jordan just laughed.

"Don't worry! I won't." She assured him.

"It's part of why I was wondering about the sound proofing, if it was still a thing." She continued.

"whether it be ... uhh... THAT... or just conversations and whatnot. I didn't think you and Mom, and Darryl when he's around, would want to hear anything of any sort through the walls and whatnot."

Jaden just sighed heavily again.

"Do me a favour." he said.

"Tell me you're not going to be doing anything with him in your room." he told her.

"I don't even care if it's a lie." he then admitted.

"I just need to hear the words come from your mouth. That's all." he said.

"My daughter can be doing things with boys, sure, but at least let me have the peace of mind to think that it won't be in her room, while we're still home." he continued, shaking his head.

"Again, even if it's a lie, just... just say it, okay?"

Jordan just laughed, but it was light.

"Don't worry Dad. There won't be anything you would disprove of happening in my room. ESPECIALLY if you guys are home!" she assured him, her words sounding true. Either she was telling the truth, or she was a very good liar - sometimes it was hard to tell.

"Please, don't fret. I won't do anything like that." she added. "Please, don't worry."

Jaden sighed in relief again.

"Thank you." he said.

"That's all I needed to hear." he told her.

And she could hear the relief and serenity in his tone. Just hearing that was enough to put his mind at ease.

"Anyway." he said further.

"Shall we head back in?" he asked.

Jordan nodded before getting to her feet and holding a hand out ot him.

"Please don't be weird with Bast. Things might already be weird enough with me springing that on him." She admitted.

"I hope not, I admit, but... I dunno."

Jaden took her hand and rose to his feet.

"So this is a surprise to him as well, is it?" he asked.

"I admit, he has a good poker face." he said.

"Seemed like you all were in on that little stunt. Save for Darryl." he commented. "Then again, he has a bad poker face." he admitted further.

"But hey, what happens with you and Sebastien right now, is your business." he continued.

"Here's hoping you know what you're doing."

"I think I do. But even then, honestly? You gotta let me make mistakes, Dad." Jordan commented.

"If I don't, how the hell am I to learn?" She asked after a moment or two.

"Now, of course, if you honestly fear for my life or whatever, then interfere, but try and differentiate between honest worry, and just being a worrywart, please?"
