[Paperwork paperwork paperwork OH MY GOD NO. Grell slams her hands on her writing desk and flips the journal open.]

WILLIAM. We're going out. Now. No, don't argue. We're going.

To the rest of you, is there nowhere in this little bubble for a girl to find a proper hairdresser? Honestly, what have you all been doing?

[She blushes a little at the mention of a boyfriend. She's hardly surprised, however. A woman with that much confidence must have someone wrapped around her finger.]

Really? What's his name?

[deadlyjuliet]

Smoker. [Said in the dreamiest, corniest way possible.] He's such a catch.

[seakingbait]

Smo...ker?

[She blinks a couple times, looking down at her lap.]

You... know Daddy?

[deadlyjuliet]

....Daddy?

[What.

What?!]

He has a daughter?!

[seakingbait]

[Oh.

Oh my.

Should she have said that?

Maybe she shouldn't have said that.]

U-um... yes? Sorry...

[deadlyjuliet]

[oh my god he has a daughter. what hussy does she have to kill --- wait. wait. this girl is way too old to have been born in the gap between him going home and him coming back here and her returning.]

.....Okay. Explain.

[seakingbait]

[She bites her lip softly.]

Th-there was a shift, that made us see each other like family. He was my father... [She huffs softly.] We had grown so close during that time, then when the shift ended, we decided to stay a family.

[deadlyjuliet]

[....Oh. Well. Grell listens for a moment, then lets out an amused huff. Her tone returns to the pleasant one from before.]

Ahn, I see. Well, that certainly makes more sense. Isn't he lucky to have such an adorable daughter then? And one who can make such lovely clothes and designs. You really should make something for him. I just know he'd wear it.

[seakingbait]

[And the awkward blush on her face only grows bigger. She's... okay with it, now?]

A-adorable!?

[deadlyjuliet]

But of course! It's so nice to have someone else to talk to about fashion, even better that she's cute. Oh, we simply must meet.

[seakingbait]

R-really? [She's not mad? At all?]

Okay! That sounds great!

[deadlyjuliet]

Oh, and if I do manage to get this hair salon started, I'll promote your store. As a favor from one lady in his life to another.

[seakingbait]

You would do that? I bet that would really drive up business! [She beams, a light giggle to her voice.]

[deadlyjuliet]

But of course~! For Smoker's little girl, I'd do anything.
