I13DT - Surprise Party

Previously the lodgings of the late Lady Braddock, grandmother to Brian and Elizabeth, the Dower House fell into disuse for a number of years, particularly after Braddock Manor passed to Brian himself. Since the arrival of the University, it has been renovated into housing for faculty, staff, and students with special lodging needs.

"OK..." Will said, taking a deep breath, and letting out again. "OK..."

"OK."


"....thank you."

"You don't need to thank us, Will. It just feels like you're a lot more uncomfortable with yourself than we'll ever be."

"Well, let's not go TOO far. If I wanted to, I could make you SUPER uncomfortable...

But I won't. And...and you'd tell me, right?"

"If you ever go too far, you know I'll tell you... though probably via pop culture reference," Kevin said.

"Alright. Alright, I'll...give it a shot," he said, still only partially convinced. Partial is better than nothing, though!

"Let's..let's eat."

"And then, perhaps, we can play a game.

You still play games here, yes? Or are you too old and whatnot now?"
she asked, honestly.

"If you want to stand any chance of winning against Will don't ever pick charades." Sara chuckles, having finally dislodged Robin from under the couch.

Or, um, poker?"

Meanwhile, Will was staring off into space, as if having a long conversation with his brain.

"A card game that's not from around here.

If you don't like cards, we could do a Pinata or something. Or Twister."

Sara would hear a voice in her head.

Stop me now so we don't verbally fight if you don't like this idea, but I want Will to be the chips.

"Technically only one of them would be." she answers somewhat jokingly, but aside from the need to nitpick she seems okay with the idea.

Will and MIra were involved in a complicated conversation in the corner while the others would prep for the game.

Sara comes back once she tucked in Robin and after they ate dinner and the table is cleared up it's time to bust out the poker cards.

"But I can't do that," Will protested, mid-conversation. "I don't have any id..."

"Of course you can do it. Legion could do it, and you're better than he was. You just need training. Think of me as Mister Miyagi, except, you know, good looking."

"Let me introduce the rules," Mira said, half-dragging a still-abashed Will over.

"Welcome to the first annual Will Invitational Tournament, or at least half of one. We shall call it...the Half-WIT."

Will rolled his eyes at that.

"Dealer's choice, rotating around the table.

We'll each start with the same number of chips, courtesy of our good friend Will Stanton here. At the end of the time limit, you keep whatever you've won.

For a day,"
she said, nodding over at Sara.
