"...Maybe you're a pedo then." Taini purred, rubbing against him jokingly.
"Take it to the bedroom." Ai pointed out as she turned her head to Irvine. "So that's what's up about me? Heh... you know that really isn't what my personality is like... Remember? I had to change when I came from Mizuho." She tapped Irvine's hand. "Sorry that we haven't seen you both very often in awhile... what have you both done in the past couple of years?"

"Actually," Derrick started, shaking his head at both his wife and Ai, though hugging his wife back at least. "We haven't really been doing much, just... Raising Glenn and teaching him about the world." He said. "I mean, we've just been... Well, parents."
Irvine chuckled a little at the comment. "I suppose the same can be said about Ai and myself." He said. "And Ai... You became that change though, and that's who she is like... Maybe it's just standards you were held to you that made you... Not that way."

Ai blinked, understanding a little. "I get what you mean..." She chuckled. "Well, how about a game of poker?"
"I could go for a few rounds. It feels nice. I thought I couldn't be tamed to keep still, but I'm not doing too bad. We have been taking Glenn many places. Well, sort of... he's been very sick in his first couple of years. Has been sick for over a year now." Taini admitted before standing up and going over to retrieve some cards.

"Oh..." Irvine said. "Have you found out what it is that's been making him sick?" He asked. "I don't want you to have to go through losing another child." He sighed. "You know what I mean? It just... Wouldn't be right..."
Derrick sighed. "I hear you... Ela was painful enough..."

"Oh, he just had a weakened immune system. It's a lot stronger now." Taini replied as she cuddled with Derrick. "We took him to the doctor's constantly. Check ups, medicine, you name it. Apparently the cause... it was technically my fault. Apparently he was born with dark mana poisoning which weakened the immune system and made him sick all the time. But he's better now. Thank Yulia." Sitting down, she then laid out the cards. "Hey, how about we make our birthdays interesting brother? I call strip poker! :3"
Ai blinked. "Whoa! You serious!? ..." I would be game for it... For the laughs.

"You and I have different ideas of what's interesting." Irvine said, while Derrick facepalmed.
'I have really been married to this woman for almost 6 years now? Really?' He thought to himself, shaking his head.
"How about we just play a regular game. Losing couple buys dinner at winning couple's restaurant of choice tonight." Irvine said.

Taini's head drooped low as her tail just limped, disappointed. "You guys are so not fun."
"I didn't say anything..." Ai mentioned as she flushed and dealt the cards.
"Wait, I thought we were playing in singles! How the heck can you play doubles in poker?" Taini asked.

"Tokens." Irvine said, pulling out tokens. "We all play for ourselves, but whichever pair has more tokens after 10 hands wins. How's that?" He asked. "If you run out of tokens, you can no longer play, but you can still win if your partner has more tokens combined than the other two. How's that?"
"... Um..." Derrick pretended to be hesitant, mostly because he didn't want his wife calling him boring as well as old and a pedo. "It... Works... I guess."

Taini shook her head, heaving a great sigh as they began to play. By the end of it, Taini was literally rolling around on the floor in the tokens, grinning wildly. "We won the gaaaame. Guess who pays for the fooood?" She teased as she continued to roll around in the plastic.
"Oh Yulia I didn't want to do this..." Ai groaned. "She's going to tap out everything..."

"... Indian buffet." Derrick suggested.
"Works for us." Irvine said. "Come on, let's wake the kids." He spoke before Taini could get a word of interruption in. The man simply walked out to the bedroom, gently shaking Mai-Fei. "Come on, kiddo, time to wake up." He said.

"Dammit..." Taini rolled onto her feet. "Wanted to go somewhere fancy..." She mumbled before walking inside the room as well, shaking her son awake gently. "Glenny, we're going to go out to eat. You get to have whatever you want at this place." She told him with a soft smile as Glenn rubbed his eyes. "Mmm... yay! Can sis come!?" Ela then looked to Taini, having been sitting beside Glenn. "Can I come Mommy?" She asked, though Taini could not hear her.
"Of course she can. She's family after all." Taini ruffled the boy's head as she picked him up.

So, they all soon arrived at the fanciest Indian restaurant on Carleon. "So, let's take our seats." Derrick said, walking ahead.
10000 gald a head, 2000 gald per child. So, even with everything, it was still going to be pricey for Irvine and Ai. Poor them.
"I thought of this place because of the children's meals." Derrick said.
'And not the price?' Irvine thought to himself.

Yay! Fancy! ^^ Taini was too busy grinning to herself, feeling like an obnoxious child. Oh, and acting like it. Glenn pretty much squealed at the sight. "Whoa! Lotsa food! Can we go eat now?" The boy asked. "Well?" Taini asked as Ai shrugged. "Go for it. Eat your heart out." Better than what it would cost to feed Taini overall... Sheesh. Freaking bottomless pit.
"Alright! Come along Glenn!" She said, grasping his hand. "You too Mai-Fei!" She called over to the girl.

"... This food is scary looking..." Mai-Fei said.
"It's okay, it will be good, and we can always give you your favorite chicken tenders and fish nuggets." Irvine said.
"They have that here?" Mai-Fei asked, shocked.
"She's pretty much excitable by anything, isn't she?" Derrick asked.

"Yeah, pretty much. But let's try some of the new food okay? I promise you that some of it tastes much better than your nuggets." Ai replied as she patted the girl's back. Taini already helped Glenn with a plate, since he was too small to get a plate for himself, before helping herself. "Derrick, want me to fix you a plate?" She called from the serving area. "Wish you could eat, Ela..." Glenn looked behind him. "Don't worry Brother! I'm very happy to be here anyway!"

"I can fix my own plate." Derrick said. "Sheesh." He laughed, "But I think someone should help the other person who can." He said, looking at Mai-Fei, who was standing near Glenn.
"So, why can't anyone see you?" She asked Ela.
Irvine got his food and sat down, shrugging. "Well, it's expensive, but it isn't so bad." He laughed. "At least we aren't buying a la carte."

"Alright!" Taini then set Glenn's and her plates down, then retrieved a plate for Mai-Fei, piling it with items that she would like, full of children's items as she listened to the children.
"...I don't know... maybe because I'm not here... it might be because I left Mommy..." Ela replied as she frowned. "But you're right here! You didn't leave Mommy!" Glenn piped up, stamping his foot onto the ground.
"No... I did. I can't be with Mommy ever..."

"But why? And how come you can fly? And why are you all see through and stuff? And why does everyone else ignore you?" Mai-Fei asked a lot of questions, ignoring food for now.
Irvine sighed, seeing the girl asking all the difficult questions to the air. "Hey, Mai-Fei, kiddo, let's eat." He said.
Derrick merely ate his food, trying to avoid the situation for now.

Taini also sat down, forcing Glenn to sit as well, though his eyes were still on his older sister. Taini began to eat, trying to ignore everything at this point. Ai did as well, though she gazed out of the corner of her eye once in awhile. Ela on the other hand, landed onto her feet and answered the girl's questions. "I... I don't know... Mommy and Daddy keep saying I died... I think it's when you go to sleep forever... that's what they told Glenny."
"Really? So you're like that because you're... dead?" The boy squeaked. "But you're not sleeping..."
"My body is! And I can fly because I have nothing to me now! But I think they just can't reach me... like there's a giant wall... and no one can hear or see me because of that wall." The young girl deducted.

"Wow... But then why could I see you?" Mai-Fei asked, blinking at the whole situation. Her tummy then grumbled. "Uhhh... I'm hungry now..." She mumbled. "Alright, I'm gonna go eat!" She said, taking a bite of the food.
Irvine sighed, glad that the girl was finally eating. "So, did you have fun?" He asked his daughter.
