He smiled at Miyu graciously.

"Miss Chen, the pleasure is all mine." He turned to Victor and smiled. "She's a lovely lady, Mister Steele. You are a very lucky man."

Victor smiled softly. "You have no idea... thank you."

The twins didn't even pause. As the song they were singing and playing ended, they started into another song, this one much more recognizable than the first. They were grinning when they started playing. This one, people would know.

Orie chose that moment to walk up to the little group with a different tray in her hand. This one had tumbler glasses, a brown liquid inside.

"For those who don't want tea, it appears that Jamie has decided whiskey is in order." She smiled and handed a glass of whiskey to Erik because meeting your woman's father, especially an old one like Joseph, was nerve wracking.

"Here you go, love. You look like you could use it, Magic Man."

Joseph smirked a bit at Orie.

"She's a grown woman, lass," he said mildly to Oriella. "I'm no going to bite or hurt him." His tone said 'much' but that was the father that was still within him. Time and space between them or no, Griselda was still his baby girl.

He turned to Matieu, Tris and Erik, then smiled. "My apologies, lady and gentlemen. Some people," he said, giving Oriella a look that said 'some people' was Orie, "...tell me that I look very intimidating when I'm really just not."

Guinevere quietly made it to the whiskey, then quietly to Jaime, a small bag in hand for Griselda's gift, softly to Jaime :Good eve: but not enough to pull him from festivities if he didn't want to be pulled.

"Nice to meet you sir, but I would like to say" with a creepy smile that was just his natural one "you didin't intimidate me." pause "No offense."

"Your tall I'm not so you loom very nicely sir." wiht a raise of ehr glass to him.

Erik shot his companion's a look, after all it was obvious he was sleeping with Griselda, and no matter what, well he was still her Dad. "nice to meet you sir, it's nice to meet you and I am honored your Daughter even looked twice my direction." very honestly stated while he hugged her to him.

"Good evenin', lass," he said affectionately.

She grinned at Erik as he hugged her to him, taking a sip of her tea. She also gave his arm around her a reassuring squeeze, just to ground him a little. She doubted that he was doing much better than she was, at the moment.

Joseph laughed, obviously delighted by Matieu's honesty. "None taken, lad, none taken. I never wanted to be intimidating anyway, to anyone other than my children." He winked at Griselda, reaching out to pat her shoulder affectionately.

He raised a glass to Tris and winked at her in a parental way, not creepy at all. "Well, thank ye, lass. I'll be mindful to no loom very much, if I can help it."

And now for the big one.

He had intentionally saved his commentary for Erik for the last, since, well, this was the man who was sleeping with his child. He fixed Erik with a blue stare for a full minute, as if judging his sincerity, his brow rising at the way the boy was hugging Griselda. Finally, he tilted his head. "Ye should be. I've no come across anything in the last several centuries that can hold her attention for more than a few minutes." He grinned. "I'll be nice and no tell him the story about your broken arm, Buttons." He winked at his daughter, then held out a had to Erik to shake. "It's a pleasure to meet you, Erik. I hope we will have some time to get to know each other a wee bit better soon."

"Tá sé an- dathúil," he said to Griselda with a smirk.

Matieu laughed at the buttons, then Erik's face at her father's words then the look of relief. His laughter made most poeple feel like nails had just gone over the chaulk board.

Erik prepared for the punch, then it didn't come, and whew - shake hand now, hug Griselda - note - fuck her brains out later - and down drink.

hug Griselda again,plant big kiss o her, and hide in her hair for a moment and then whisper "How'd I do?"

"Good evenin', lass," he said affectionately.

"I think lass I think young girl. I've not been one for a long time." with a gentle smile at him.

She grimaced at her father. "Ugh, Daddy, how is it possible for you to even remember that?" she asked, shaking her head. "And don't call me Buttons. I'm the Sheriff, for the love of Saint Bridget."

She blushed, then hugged Erik when he hugged her and oh, look! Kisses! She liked those! She kissed him, then laughed softly as he hid in her hair. "You are perfect, love. He likes you."

Joseph smirked again.

"Well, when your beloved daughter scares the daylights out of you by not coming home at night, it tends to stick with you." He winked at her, taking Erik's empty glass and putting a full one into his hand, all without interrupting his hugging or kissing of Griselda.

He stepped closer, putting one hand on Erik's shoulder, whispering quietly to him while he hid in Griselda's hair. "Ye need not be afraid of me. But I should tell you this. I raised my daughter to be innocent. As much as others have tried to change that over her years, she's still very much a child in some things. I hope you understand and respect that."

With a squeeze of Erik's shoulder, Joseph moved off, putting an arm around Oriella's waist and leading her away from the little group.

"Would ye prefer 'Lady'?"

She wrinkled her nose at her father, though she didn't hear his whisper to Erik. She did, however, grimace when Joseph put his arm around Oriella and there was a brief flash of jealousy on her face. Just a brief flash, then it was gone and she was trying to draw Erik out of hiding again.

"You okay? Big, scary daddy didn't upset you too much, did he?" she asked. And no, she wasn't mocking him or being condescending at all. She was honestly concerned.

he hugged her tightly, "nothing like that just more people then expected." wtih a smile at her. Then leaning in "And you make bodice rippers make so much more sense now." kissing her cheek.

Methuselah Posts : 42120 Join date : 2010-08-25

She smiled.

"Tell me about it. I was expecting four people. Not all...this." Then he got a blush from her as he kissed her cheek and she leaned against him so she could whisper in his ear. "Then I'm looking forward to having my bodice ripped. Later tonight or do we need a rain check? I'm stuck here until presents are opened."

It was very strange, actually, for the twins to do anything like this. But it was Matthew, the more forward of the two, who came up and gave Matieu a slight bow.

"Good evening. My name is Matthew MacFarlan. I was wondering if you would mind me asking your lady for a dance?"

George, the other twin, continued to play guitar and sing for the group.

Abigail did find a time to wish Griselda a happy birthday, taking to the whiskey herseld. She still kept towards the back but seemed rather comfortable there

Methuselah Posts : 42120 Join date : 2010-08-25

She leaned against Erik, her own form of safety net, and gave Abigail hugs. She also gave her a kiss on the cheek and held her cup of tea in her hands as she started toward the larger gathering.

"Guess I have to open presents," she shrugged and was hoping that Erik, Matieu and Tris followed her. Because, comfort.
