[027] OOM - Meet the Parents

As every good traveler knows, there must be a destination for which to head towards - otherwise, there is aimless wandering which makes for wasted time, wasted resources, and a more or less miserable time.

But as any good observer knows, Tristran and Yvaine do not follow rules whatsoever.

So the two companions - still terribly (and pathetically) in love - are doing exactly what good travelers do not: they are wandering aimlessly, wasting time and resources. Whether they are having a miserable time remains to be seen, though it is unlikely that they are even able to follow that part of the rule, anyway.

"You know," Tristran starts thoughtfully, turning to glance at the star, "it has come to my attention that you haven't met my family yet."

Why this thought suddenly springs up in the young man's mind is a mystery, but now that it has taken precedence in the forefront of his thoughts, he believes it important not to let it go.

"Before we left, I told my father about you," he continues. "And I am positive that my mother - my other mother - and my sister want to meet you too. What do you think?"

"Fine, fine," she laughs again, grinning and slanting her gaze up at him. "You win. It will be perfectly wonderful and I will refrain from complaining until you leave me all on my lonesome again to fetch your family."

There was no complaining in there at all.

Not even cleverly disguised.

"I know," she agrees, pressing a brief kiss to the back of his hand. "If it didn't I would make this all a lot more difficult for you, dear."

And she likely wouldn't be half as nervous either.

I mean - nervous? No one is nervous here. Moving right along.
