PREMISE

All the stories are true. Years ago, the Fae came out because technology was making it harder and harder for them to hide, and it's been a couple of years since the werewolves did the same. The world is changing day by day. Humans and the paranormal live side by side, but it's not easy nor is it simple. While the Marrok has taken great lengths and care to preserve the werewolves' PR front, everyone - wolf, fae, vampire and other - know that it's only a matter of time before the humans start thinking that perhaps the other stories meant to warn of the dark are true.

This is an open post set in the universe of Patricia Briggs' Mercy Thompson series. The books are amazing and you should definitely check them out. More information via this Wiki link. The rules are simple: Drop a prompt, leave a tag, and let's play!

I'll pick good places. I had a few in mind last night anyway.

[Her father gives a nod of agreement before using the tongs he stole back from Eun to flip the steaks. They sizzle on the grill as Eun's mother uses oven mitts to take some of the vegetables off the grill and put other foil-wrapped portions on instead. It doesn't take them long to finish cooking dinner, and with four werewolves at the table it similarly does not take long for them to finish consuming dinner either.

It's by far one of the best meals she's had at home, and Eun feels confident that it has nothing to do with missing home cooking. It's just that delicious.

The food isn't the only highlight of the evening, at least. With everyone settled down to eat, Eun's parents feel freer to ask their guests more questions about werewolves, Eun's old back, her new pack, life in Montana, and any number of things that curious parents would want to know.

Eun is relieved that they get through the night without them asking embarrassing questions of Asil, or trotting out embarrassing childhood memories to share with her pack. As the evening winds down, Anna and Charles make their farewells and head back to the hotel with the intention of sight-seeing the next day. Eun's parents offer Asil space in the downstairs guest room if he'd like to stay overnight instead of at the hotel, but leave him to think about what he'd prefer and inform Eun when he's come to a decision. Sitting on the couch by his side, she lifts a hand to stroke through his hair, idly touching him in the quiet of the house. Her parents are preparing for bed, leaving Eun and Asil to discuss sleeping arrangements.]

Do you want to stay here or go back to the hotel?

late reply 4ever but huhu hello

[nosco]

I am happy to do either. [ He leans into her touch, relaxed and content to defer to her preferences. ]

It would make your parents happy to see you here in the morning.

[ He does not mind staying over if that is what Eun wishes. ]
