Paulie grinned when she finally responded to that. Yes. Him, too.

FROG being the key word there. He was still grinning in amusement, mind you. That little hair flip gave him a nice, little whiff of that perfume again, too. Mmmmmm. "Exactly! Was lucky I got a reeeaaal princess to actually kiss me," he smiled. Now, Tori was being all secretive about whether or not he was her first kiss, but he thought maybe yes. He was. Why ELSE would she mention that she had been home-schooled/not expooooosed to as many school boys by that point? He simply laughed when she even added, slightly defensively, the whole 'Plus I'm younger than you!' remark. Heeeeeh. She was cute, really. "Your kiss was the first that meant anythin', and that's what counts." He ate some more popcorn himself. "'Course you were quite lucky to lock lips with me that day, though! With such a hunky dreamboat of a knight an' all."

Yes, he liked this snuggling closer business. Oh yes. But... BUT! Caught by a 'studly' Auror? As if! "First! I've got an undershirt beneath my sweater." He wasn't a savage here. "And secondly, no laaaaame Auror's gonna keep me away from my very attraaaactive date here." Griiiin.

It was a compliment, but Tori couldn't be super-honest with Paulie on their first date in Merlin knew how long. She had to hold back at least a little.

"SUPER lucky," Tori flirted back. Aww, hey, Paulie was actually being sweet to her! She wasn't used to it, but she definitely liked it. "Yeah, gosh, what would have happened if I'd locked lips with some OTHER random guy in Diagon Alley?" She looked around the park, as though they were there now. "Maybe I should try to kiss someone else, just in case, like, you never know, and because you get at least one re-do, right?" Tori smirked a little bit, but really... Paulie calling himself a dreamboat.... he was such a goober!

She laughed as he ticked off a FIRST! "Well congratulations, you've got good hygiene habits," Tori giggled. And there was a SECOND, huh? "Oh, is that a sure thing?" She snuggled a little closer. "What WOULD you do if a big bad Auror showed up here?" Huh? What kind of a knight WAS he?

What would have happened if she had locked lips with some OTHER guy that day? Well! "Wouldn'ta been good, I can tell ya that," he stated grimly. Mm. Yep, good thing it had been him. Good thing. Pffffffffffffffffft. He gave her a nice, little shove when she suggested she kiss someone else and something about re-dos and blah blah blah. "Oh, ya can't do thaaat. 'Cause I'm doin' my re-do! And my re-do can't work if you're doin' another re-do with someone else!" Because she was a major part of his re-do. Didn't she SEE? Now, of course she was joking ~~right?~~, but Paulie Foster couldn't just let her say something about kissing someone else without protesting.

He DID have good hygiene habits, yes. He smelled good and his hair, though often somehow mussed up, was in fact regularly washed. Now, the Auror, though. What would he do if one actually showed up to whisk away his main squeeze? "I'd first prolly try 'n talk the talk and shoo him away that way. But if that didn't work, welp, I guess I'd have to fight him." And hopefully the former would indeed work because fighting an Auror, probably magically OR physically, would result in a loss for the Paulie Foster team. He grinned over at her. "But REALLY, it'd all come down to who the Princess picked."

Wouldn't have been good for whom, Tori nearly added, but refrained, because Paulie was looking so uncharacteristically serious. He had broken her heart once, after all. What if he did that again? She looked up at the shove and let out a lighthearted giggle. No need to get ahead of herself by overanalyzing things that weren't there. "Fine fine, I'll wait til you're redo's done before I do my redo. Cheerio, pip pip!" Did they have any champagne glasses in his bag to toast to their redos? Eh?

Shoo an Auror away with talking. Tori snorted at the very picture of it. "Oooh, fight him how?" She leaned back on her hands a bit, encouraging him to go on. "Muggle style, with fists, or wizard style? I hear Aurors are accomplished wizarding duelers. They can use any means necessary to take down a target." Rawr, right? "Well us Princesses can be awfully picky." She hummed a bit. "But if a true knight is willing to fight for his princess, well, he deserves at least a small token of award for that, ESPECIALLY if he gets a little banged-up in the process." Everyone knew scars were smexy.

THERE, he'd gotten his way. See? All it took was a bit of his smooth radio voice. But since she would do her redo after his, apparently, this meant one thing: he had to do this redo RIGHT! And so he would. He SO would.

"Well, in thaaaaaaaaat case, I s'pose I'll let ya have some explodin' lemonade with me," he grinned as he shifted to retrieve it. Maybe champagne for the second date.

Fight him how? How would he fight that stupid Auror? "Well, I'd fight him any way I had to, 'course! An' I'd win, at that!" His chest may have puffed out an inch or two with that declaration.

Eliora had sky high expectations of her dog as soon as she took him off the leash, especially as he was donning his best pink tutu and tiara. Rockwell was the prettiest princess in all of the land. He probably didn't feel entirely masculine in his pink get up, but the kids dressed him every morning and Eli didn't have the heart to remind them that Rocky probably didn't like the whole pink vibe. And she was never caffeinated enough to deal with Briar's squabbles and Levi's crying.

CHILDREN WERE SO DIFFICULT.

Absent fathers of children were even more difficult.

Luckily, Nate had both of them today and Eli wasn't in any place to question his motives or whatever. She was keeping things civil with him and they were going to raise their children how she saw fit. If he wanted to live on a different continent, then that showed just how much he valued his kids. At least SHE was a good parent.

"RockYYYYYY NO!" Why did he think peeing like that was oKAY in a tutu?!

It felt good to be back on native soil again, even if she had fallen in love with the lush forests of France where she spent the majority of her time. The unicorn sanctuary was very peaceful and tranquil, even when there was a sense of emergency, but recently her heart strings had been pulling her back home.

For various reasons.

Cheeks flushed as she strolled, Kiera paused to look for her compact in her purse to apply a bit more pale rose lip gloss. The summer weather was not kind to her pale features, especially given how she spent the majority of her time shrouded by sunlight - save for the glimpses of it through the trees. She had just finished blowing herself a kiss and was dropping everything back into her bag when...

"Galloping gargoyles!" she squeaked, jumping back a tiny bit to avoid the rest of the yellow stream that had stained her shoe.

"You'll ruin your TUTU, ROCKWELL!" Yes, that was her biggest concern right now. Because the other concern, that of this woman's attire...was a little bit amusing. "I'm sure you'll be searching high and low for gargoyles that habitually gallop. There's none in the park. Are you sure you aren't seeing things...?" Oh ho ho. This was going to be fun. Eliora crouched down to check on Rocky's tutu and found that the good little beautiful cherub of a dog had missed all fabric on his little furbod and he was as dry as...something dry??

Now to deal with the matter of her shoes. "A number one is much easier to get out than a number two, doll." And Eliora was sure she could fix the shoe up if she wasn't in public blah blah blah. More like she'd offer to take it to a cleaners and really use her wand on it when she was home.

Public issue number one.

Witching was difficult.

And Rockwell was...now doing a number two nearby. GRIEF.

Ella had been wandering the park for ages trying to calm Cecelia, who after eating hadn't settled down like she'd hoped. Motion, she'd learned, seemed to be the one other trick up her sleeve that had a calming effect and so she'd taken to walking when the baby got finicky. Today's stroll having been the longest yet, though the new mom was enjoying the fresh air.

Once the newest Summers had been lulled to sleep, the former badger pushed her stroller towards the nearest park bench and flopped there. This was good. This was nice. She'd just rest here for a while and enjoy the silence.

Looking up, Kiera lamented the fact that she had not noticed the woman earlier...but she also supposed that was to be expected given how all attention had been diverted to the doggie.

"Oh no, I'm not fussed about my shoe," she assured the stranger, finding some comfort in the fact that there was a precious little furbaby present. "I was just startled is all. Startled by your charming dog." Smiling, and not yet bothering to clean her shoe off, she approached the dog as it went about relieving itself and crouched down a little bit away from him to give him just a tiny bit more...er...privacy? "Rockwell, you said?" she smiled, glancing back up at the woman. "It's a lovely name for a lovely dog."

And now she was back to just watching the dog. Poop.

He need fresh air. His apartment felt so stuffy. He remembered there's a park nearby so he decided to go there.

The park was not too crowded. He thought it'd be crawling with children but there's only a few people there. Oh and look there's a mother with a baby stroller. Huh? Wait. She look familiar. "Ella?" No way. Messer slowly walked toward the bench. "Ella Summers. Hey!" Wow. He's glad that he decided to go to this park. His attention went from Ella to the stroller. "Is this the little Summers." He heard that she already giving a birth but he hasn't had a chance to visit the Summers.

"Messy, hi!" Ella's greeting wasn't loud but the enthusiasm was there. It'd been ages, did he know? The blonde got up and wasted no time wrapping her arms around her friend, giving him a squeeze before pulling away to nod enthusiastically.

Carefully moving the blanket that was draped over the hood of the stroller, Ella revealed the tiny baby sleeping soundly, totally at peace with the world. "This is Cecelia."

... She wasn't fussed about her shoe? Who was this woman and where had she been all of Eliora's dog-walking life?! No one approved when Rockwell went to the toilet on their footwear or one of her children got a chocolate hand print on something or someone. "I suppose charming could desrcibe him, yes." And just for the nice words, Eliora blew Rockwell (and his business over there) a kiss.

"Yes. Rockwell. Rocky, or Princess." Her children.... and she, were always interested in dressing their male dog up as a princess. Halloween was always fun. Eliora whistled to get the small dog to come back over to her, and their new friend. "Say hello, Rocky."

"Do you have one? She looked around for another dog nearby.

He thought she'd stopped calling him with that nickname after they got older but no, that nickname still stick. Not that he's complaining of course. "How are you?" He asked before he returned her hug.

OH! Look at that cute beautiful little tiny person. So this why Ella lowering her voice earlier. Her baby was sleeping. Booooooooo...!! This mean he didn't get a chance to play with the tiny person. "She's pretty like her mother." He hoped Alec already know how to use beater bat because he might need it to scare away some boys someday in the future. "How old is she now?" Two months? Three months?

"Tired but good. Really good, actually." Her smile was evidence enough of that. She was over the moon with being a mom but it did take a toll, as she was sure it would. Sleep seemed like a luxury these days.

Blushing happened as it always did when Ella received a compliment and her smile turned sheepish. "Thanks, Mess. I actually think she looks a lot like Alec." The hair would be hers, though. The little that C had was light already. "Nearly two months now, which is crazy to me. She's already so much bigger than she was." Her dad really hadn't been joking when he said that she'd grown up too fast for his liking.

Glancing up at her former housemate, the blonde nudged him gently and then gestured for him to join her on the bench. "What about you? How's life?" Did he have a girlfriend yet? Ella wasn't opposed to setting him up with someone.

Laughing softly, Kiera waited until the dog had finished before scooting a little closer and extending her hand for him to sniff and get to know her better. "I think it is a perfectly lovely way to describe him," she cooed, looking into his big soft doggy eyes.

"Princess? That would explain the tutu, I suppose." Following the dog to his master, Kiera nervously tucked a few strands of her blonde hair behind her ear and blushed. There had been a sufficient creature barrier until now, something she had not considered when she had so eagerly followed the dog just now to offer him a few good scratches behind the ear, so she now found herself more than a little tongue tied.

Eyes on the dog, she knelt down and offered her hand once more to the precious thing and shook her head in reply. No, no dog of her own.

He wasn't even going to dignify that with a response ~~despite the fact that it was likely true~~.

He wore a cheeky grin and his eyes may have dropped to her lips for a split second. "Aaaand what sorta reward might that be?"

EXPLODIN' LEMONADE?!!!!!!!

Sign her up, by Merlin! "Geesh, I never thought you were going to ask!" Tori laughed. Finally, the drink that brought them together!

She settled in closer to Paulie, as though preparing for adult!story!time about how he'd take down a big bad Auror to capture her heart. "I'm sure you would, dear, I'm sure you would, with that... wonderfully vague answer!"...he would try, hehe, she didn't doubt that.

But enough teasing of Paulie, the poor lad. Look at him trying to get closer to her for what he wanted. Yes, she could read your mind, Paulie Foster. The two had only known each other for... what, a decade now? Plus his eyes were focused on one place on her body....

"A kiss." She leaned in to him, as though her strawberry-smacked lips were going for his, but at the very last second, mere millimeters from his face, Tori's mouth took a detour and left him a big, wet ol' kiss right on the cheek. "A kiss on the cheek, just for you!" What, didn't he believe her when she said they should take things slowly? HAH.

And, like he promised, Paulie dutifully pulled a bottle of exploding lemonade from the bag and presented it like it was liquid gold. "And..." He even drew two fancy plastic flutes as well. "Voila." Not bad, huh? Not bad at all.

Oh, but look at her patronizing him! Pfft! He could totally take on an Auror and win. Without question. He'd just need a little Felix Felicis, that's all...

It turns out that Tori could indeed read his mind. Or at least, when she'd known him and his antics for so long now, his motives were pretty transparent. But gosh, they were getting so close and then she went and answered his question, and somehow 'a kiss' said in HER voice, like THAT, well it got him all too eager to get that kiss right now.

So much so that he leaned in, even closed his eyes and parted his lips..............

........................ONLY TO RECEIVE A KISS ON THE CHEEK?!

Her saliva still damp on his cheek, his eyelids sprang open and he gaped at her. "Victoria!" What a cruel thing to do to a ~~boy~~ man! In fact, he was so shocked that he actually started to laugh. "Get over here, ya tease!" And next thing he knew, he was pulling her sly little self BACK to him and meeting those lips with a PROPER kiss. Mm, and that strawberry taste came rushing back to him...

Oh yeah, Paulie didn't care one bit that he was stealing this kiss.

He understood the tired part. He's the one who babysit his sister when she's still newborn so he get that. But seeing Ella smiling like that he guess the good part beat the tired part.

Look like Alec? The little baby? Poor kid. "I hope you take after your mom when you grow up." He said in a very low voice to the sleeping baby. "Two months? Wow. That's fast." And the next thing you know this little baby will be of to Hogwarts. This Little Miss Summers need to stay baby forever. "So which one is more difficult, taking care of baby or dragon?"

Messer joined her former housemate on the bench after she nudged him. "I'm good. Life is good. I get to travel as much as I want to." So life is good.

"Princess? That would explain the tutu, I suppose." Following the dog to his master, Kiera nervously tucked a few strands of her blonde hair behind her ear and blushed. There had been a sufficient creature barrier until now, something she had not considered when she had so eagerly followed the dog just now to offer him a few good scratches behind the ear, so she now found herself more than a little tongue tied.

Eyes on the dog, she knelt down and offered her hand once more to the precious thing and shook her head in reply. No, no dog of her own.

"My kids want a girl dog, but Rockwell lets them dress him up." It was mainly Briar-Rose, but Levi was her little sidekick now that he was steady on his feet and could repeat words after her. For now, Eliora was probably just going to continue letting them dress Rocky up and paint his toenails pink. One day she'd let them get a second dog, and definitely get them a girl this time, just to please them. But for now: Rockwell would have to do.

She scooped her hair up into a ponytail on top of her head instead of trying to tame the windswept mess it had became on this walk and smiled as she watched her dog gently rub against the woman's hand.

"They're not for everyone. I think I should have gotten a cat sometimes."

Kiera had her own bias when it came to creatures, preferring those of the Equus genus variety, but there was no denying that looking into the big eager eyes of a dog that made you feel appreciated. Still, she preferred her unicorns to the enthusiastic temperament of dogs - they were lovely, but only in short spurts otherwise they were too overwhelming for her gentle spirit.

"Well, he is certainly is a good sport for indulging your children," she giggled as she scratched Rockwell behind the ears and made soft kissy faces at him. "I don't think a cat would appreciate your children's fashion sense as much as Rockwell seems too." Laughing softly, Kiera moved to the other ear and ignored the slight tingle that was beginning to form in her kneecaps from squatting for so long.

And all the kissy faces for you, you charming creature. Kissy kissy kissy.

Too fast for Ella, honestly. Cecelia was bigger and stronger and more active every day and while the blonde longed for the days when she'd be able to talk and walk and have adventures, she wished time would slow down a bit for the youngest Summers so she could take in every moment. That was probably selfish, she'd realized, but she couldn't help it.

Shaken from her reverie by her friend's question, the blonde smiled big. "I want to say dragons but my answer will probably change once she reaches the terrible twos." Not that this should be rushed because no thank you. "My dad still talks about what a terror Caleb was." And her brother was one of the kindest, most gentle people she knew so she couldn't imagine such a thing. It'd be interesting to see if her daughter was similar in that way.

The subject of traveling always excited Ella and thoughts of the trips her and Alec had gone on caused the corners of her mouth to turn upward. Messer was lucky he got to see the world as often as he wanted. "Been anywhere interesting lately?" She'd be living vicariously through him so she wanted to hear all about it if he had.

Of course, Rockwell was obsessed with the new burst of attention he was getting. Eliora was sure that he was thankful for hands that weren't caked in porridge or wielding make up for nails or lips or hair bows or a tutu and tiara. Honestly, thinking about it made her feel sorry for the woofer in her family and it definitely made her sure that getting a second dog was a bad idea and she shouldn't do it. "Mm, I doubt they see it as him indulging them." And she needed coffee. How long could a conversation continue before she needed another cup in her life? How long was it appropriate to leave her dog with a stranger so she could get coffee and flirt up a storm with some hotties.

She hadn't rated anyone really since Nate had left. She'd wanted to, oh she really had. But she had been hit by every sort of heartbreak possible for someone who didn't have feelings like that. It had included a few evenings in her house with ice cream and a few nights with friends and then an extensive amount of time at work, pretending that everything was okay.

Pretending.

But now it was okay. Now she wasn't going to let any man into her life. She didn't need them when she was doing so fine for herself. Briar would be going to school in a few years so it would just be Eli and Levi. No problems there.

"I'm not a cat person. At all.

Kiera found herself involuntarily, as was always the case, flushing at the thought of children. It was a thought she had not entertained much at all, being too wrapped up in her own career and stopping to smell the daisies every chance presented to her. But hearing how things were progressing with her brother, things she honestly never thought would happen to him and thus pleased her greatly, had initiated similar thoughts in her mind. But it was a topic of conversation not yet breached with Atticus, not to that extent at least. More at a passing glance of 'do you ever?' to which her answer had been an assertive 'of course!'

But then there was also the matter that Kiera was quite traditional in certain ways and before that could happen other things needed to. Which was why she happened a quick glance towards her left and and blushed further.

"Well, he is darling either way," she smiled, giving the pup an affectionate kiss on his furry forehead.

"Nor is my brother. Deathly afraid of them, actually," she said as she finally rose to her feet and...well...not what DID she do? The open spot on the bench beside the woman seemed like a quaint option, so Kiera timidly moved to sit beside her. With significant space between the two of them. She could use this opportunity to finally tend to her shoe. "You...don't mind, do you?" she inquired, her hand on the heel of her shoe as she moved to slip it off.

Oh, but look at her patronizing him! Pfft! He could totally take on an Auror and win. Without question. He'd just need a little Felix Felicis, that's all...

It turns out that Tori could indeed read his mind. Or at least, when she'd known him and his antics for so long now, his motives were pretty transparent. But gosh, they were getting so close and then she went and answered his question, and somehow 'a kiss' said in HER voice, like THAT, well it got him all too eager to get that kiss right now.

So much so that he leaned in, even closed his eyes and parted his lips..............

........................ONLY TO RECEIVE A KISS ON THE CHEEK?!

Her saliva still damp on his cheek, his eyelids sprang open and he gaped at her. "Victoria!" What a cruel thing to do to a ~~boy~~ man! In fact, he was so shocked that he actually started to laugh. "Get over here, ya tease!" And next thing he knew, he was pulling her sly little self BACK to him and meeting those lips with a PROPER kiss. Mm, and that strawberry taste came rushing back to him...

Oh yeah, Paulie didn't care one bit that he was stealing this kiss.

"Yaaaaaaaay!" Tori cheered and applauded a tiny bit at Paulie's preparation. He really was pulling out all the stops here, wasn't he? LOOKATTHELITTLEFLUTES. Aww, Paaaaaaaulieeeeeeee! She was getting so thirsty, too.

She started to laugh at the same time as him, not at all surprised he was pulling her in and giving her a proper kiss. And after only a half-second of hesitation, Tori actually did lean in and kiss him back, and not all minding that he was stealing away her lips ~~and her heart~~ again. Paulie was worth the risk.

Eli let Rockwell jump up to sit on her lap as that was their usual routine whilst in the park, although she did usually get out her magazine and catch up on the latest gossip and find out what all of her favourite former coworkers were up to. Always so candid, sordid and laughable. "Hear that, Rocky? You're darling!" And with that, she laughed and gave him a kiss as he settled into spot on her lap, head hanging off by her knee. He was a nosy dog. Nosy as much as he was darling.

Shaking her head, Eliora did look closer at the shoe of the other woman, thankful that she hadn't been one of those females to demand a shoe clean of the highest pricing - something which Eliora was at no liberty to afford, what with two kids and a house to pay for. Single parenting wasn't her favourite, but it was her life. "Licorice wand?"

Because she had a whole bag in her bag.
