See Me After Class

[ngm_adults]

It was their usual study session. Audhild was coming along well. Right now, she was slowly reading aloud from one of the Leonora Hornblow nature books and asking questions.

Sometimes problematic questions.

"I assure you, Audhild, the kiwi is still a bird."

Comments

Vincent lets out a noise that is somewhere between a huff and a snarl.

"..." He has a false start at saying something, before another pause, and looking away from Kristoff.

"Audhild still needs me." He simply says.

[ngm_adults]

"Indeed," Kristoff agrees blandly.

[vincent_amora]

"..what did you do when you were dumped?"

[ngm_adults]

"One glass of brandy, I will admit. One complete overhaul of the Doomstadt Hospital. And then I put the fear of Doom into the Ambassador of Croatia, but that was in the national interest as well as cathartic. And then I kept going. Forward momentum; that's how one finds one's life again"

[vincent_amora]

Vincent goes quiet again.

"I do have a lot on my plate to throw myself into...

And Audhild has been asking if you'd like to accompany us to an amusement park."

[ngm_adults]

A pause. "...I wish to accompany the two of you, yes."

[vincent_amora]

"I'll let you know when I work out a schedule." And, unless he's stopped by Kristoff, Vincent will turn off the radio and go see how Audhild is doing so far.
