My usual routine is to dry off my hair before getting dressed, but Charlotte's still waiting in my room and I'd feel bad if I kept her waiting for me any longer than I already have. So instead, I throw a towel on my head to serve as a barrier between my wet hair and the rest of my body, quickly slip on my clothes, and head on out of the bathroom.

Ugh, the water from my hair's soaking through the towel and dripping on my glasses...

"...huh?"

Everything's blurry but I think that's my father coming up the stairs.

"Hey," my father says, waving to me as he hurries up the stairs. "Looks like I came up here just in time, huh."
"I guess," I mumble while continuing to try and dry my hair. "You wanted something?"
"Just to make sure my little girl's holding up alright," he replies, reaching over to pat me on the head with his giant man-hands.

And then he immediately reels it back in disgust since I wasn't exactly able to finish drying off by the time he got to me.

"Anyways..." he flashes a pained smile as he wipes his hand on his shirt, "...I'm really sorry about what happened last night. "Especially after that whole kidnapping thing, I know it couldn't have been easy on you."

Had this happened a few months ago, I'd probably have full confidence in my father's ability to track down and beat the living hell out of the asshole who broke into my room... but how that I'm knee-deep in all this Branch stuff, I know better. And though -I- know better, he sure as hell doesn't so I should probably try and avoid worrying him too much.

"I'm still upset about my cactus," I say, "but having everyone here does make it a little bit easier."

I try to force a smile while I say this, but judging from my father's reaction it seems to have had the exact opposite effect from what I was hoping for.

"Shit..."

With a heavy sigh, my father places a hand to his temples.

"Cecile." he takes off his sunglasses and looks me right in the eyes. "You know you don't have to try and put up a front for -me-, right?"
"Sorry," I stammer, "I just-"
"It's okay," he shakes his head. "I remember how depressed you got back when the garden you had outside died out. That cactus might've just been a plant, but it was -your- plant and I promise you that I'll do whatever I can to get it back."

He pats me on the shoulders with his heavy hands and pulls me into his arms.

"Irene gave me a couple of leads and I'm doing some digging of my own so it's only a matter of time," he says as he hugs me. "I'll find that guy, break every bone in his body, and get you back your cactus. So just you wait, okay?"

I think CC's mom might freak out but her dad would probably be cool with it. Telling him would also keep him from getting hurt investigating things himself.

>>44852600
It will be difficult to explain any other way after we laser the entire house.

"You don't have to do all that," I say, hugging him back.
"It's okay," he replies, "It's not like I'm only speaking from my duty as your father. I -want- to break every bone in his body."

Finally letting go of me, Daddy takes a step back and flexes his giant bear-arms while flashing a big grin.

"Unless I find him first," I say.

Faceless isn't going to get a chance to run away if I catch him in my room again.

"Hahaha, I knew you were the one who took after your old man!" he says with a hearty laugh. "You've got that same fire in your eyes!"

Crap, my eye color! Better change it before he notices...

"Don't tell me, -that's- why you're working out with Theresa?" he asks. "I dunno how I feel about the idea of my sweet little girl getting all huge like me though..." Daddy says, stroking his beard like they do in those kung-fu movies that he likes. "And between the two of us, I doubt Charlotte would be all that happy about it either."

He's known Theresa and Mina since they were toddlers so he sees them like his own daughters.

Charlotte's pretty but that's about it.

He does find Irene to be Super Hawt and was about to high-five Cecile for having amazing taste but in his eyes, his wife is the sexiest of all.
and has the same bust size as Lorelei and Allison

"......"

I grit my teeth and glare at my father, who is still smiling about his witty comment. I kind of want to hit him.

"Don't even joke like that," I growl. "I just want to get fit, that's all. So I can run for a decent distance without wanting to keel over."
"Hm." Daddy nods. "And I guess ending up with abs like Theresa's is the side-goal?"

it understands you all too well

While I try and come up with a comeback to my father's insinuations (and ignore the voice in my head's comments), he bursts out laughing.

"There we go," he says, winking at me. "That's the Cecile I know! Moping around and being miserable doesn't do you any good!"

I just continue to glare at him.

"Yup, the flustered look suits you much better," he nods to himself. "It brings out your inner cuteness when you blush like that."


>[1/?]

>>44853514
>[2/2]

Looking away from him, I stomp towards my door.

"What, you know I'm right!" he laughs.
"Bye," I reply as I grab my doorknob.
"You feel at least a -little- bit better now, don't you?"
"BYE."

I pull the sopping wet towel from my still-damp head and chuck it right in my father's face. Once I hear the wet smacking sound that announces that I hit my mark, I duck into my room and slam the door behind me.

And then I glance at my bed and find a very confused-looking Charlotte.

"Umm," Charlotte points at the door, "that was..."
"Nothing," I reply, shaking my head. "Completely unimportant."

I then walk over to her and give her a great big hug for not immediately following up on my father's teasing. With her senses being what they are, I'm sure she heard everything that was going on out in the hallway.

"Umm..." Charlotte hugs me back. "...if it helps any, I know exactly how you feel."
"Hm?"
"Getting teased by your father, I mean," she replies. "But hey, at least yours only did that to try and cheer you up," she smiles. "Mr. Gauthier only ever teases me because he thinks it's fun."

Yeah, I'm not about to claim that it's any different for me.

After I take a few minutes to finish drying my hair, me and Charlotte leave my room and make our way back downstairs. As we approach the living room, I also notice the sound of the TV coming from the kitchen. I guess this means that everyone else is up, too. That should probably be expected though, considering that it's already past the time of day where I would've left for school.

"We're back," I say, announcing the return of myself and my girlfriend. "Sorry for making you wait like that."
"It's fine," Theresa shakes her head. "So what now?"

"I guess we should tell Mina and Sun-Mi about what happened," I say.
"Umm, who's Sun-Mi?" Irene asks.

Oh yeah, I guess they never met.

"Mina's girlfriend," Theresa replies. "She helped us Find Mina during that giant mess last time."
"And she knows about Mina's Branch?" she asks.
"Yeah," I nod. "They actually have the same one."

After a long pause, Irene speaks up again.

"Really?" she asks in an incredulous tone. "Armored Heart isn't exactly an -uncommon- Branch but for two people to..." she trails off.
"Yup," I reply. "The voice in my head told me so and Sun-Mi conformed it herself."
"Wow."

It seems like Irene's as shocked about it as Sun-Mi was herself.

"If you could do that, I really would appreciate it," I say, turning to my ever-so-thoughtful girlfriend.
"Okay," she nods, "then I'll take care of that right now."

I watch Charlotte bring out her own phone and make her way into the hallway. After she's out of sight, I return my gaze to Theresa and Irene.

"So that's one thing out of the way," Theresa says. "so now what?"
"I guess we have a bunch of leads to work with?" I shrug. "I dunno, I'm not used to this kind of crap."
