Don't tempt me in taking credit for the chocolates, Mr. Turnout.

[Scott teases him lightly, feeling just comfortable enough to do so. He loves his own adopted father, of course, but he definitely wouldn't mind calling him 'dad' one day as well. Maybe when he's eating or drinking something, so he can startle the man, but it's all in good humor! Although, he first needs to ask his daughter's hand in marriage... that will be a day to remember for sure.

He's definitely getting ahead of himself now, but it's okay. Better to think about this than that weird memory all covered in red. Like the rose he's getting--]

...Are you okay? [He asks with visible concern. He noticed that strange reaction from Astralin, how his hand flinched from the stem, not to mention that his smile is shaky, less sincere than usual. ...Also, he doesn't see any thorns. He worries a lip between his teeth, wondering if he should point that out or not. It's probably rude, right?

But...]

Oh, um, if you have a snack, that would be great. [Some of Scott's energy has definitely disappeared.]
