My bunny slippers just ran for cover

[will_you_still]

Morgan doesn't strictly need to sleep. Even if she didn't want to put up with the annoyance of constantly having a caffeine buzz and having to ask for coffee on almost every summon, there are naps. Naps can keep a daeva going for quite a long time.

But there's something unutterably pleasant about curling up in a proper bed in pajamas and just sleeping. And then waking up and getting breakfast in those pajamas. So she does that, because immortality's a long unpleasant time if you don't enjoy the little things every now and then. Like adorable bunny slippers and soft pajamas and sleeping in.

She's midway through a fruity salad thing that counts as the standard fairy breakfast when she feels the summon. Showing up to a summon in pajamas? Eh. If they're proper summoners she bets they've seen worse, and she doesn't particularly care if they think she's unprofessional.

She puts her spoon down and accepts the summon.

"Thanks! I like you, too."

[mxglam]

"Yeah, what with being willing to put up with becoming my mom and all."

[will_you_still]

Snort.

"It's not all that bad. Though I've never been a mom before, so uh. Good luck!"

[mxglam]

"...I am doomed."

[will_you_still]

Morgan cackles.

[mxglam]

"That's not reassuring!"

[will_you_still]

"Sorry, it was funny. In all seriousness, I will try to be a decent mother, if you do in fact want me to actually mother you."

[mxglam]

"Um. I don't think we are actually close enough for that to be a reasonable dynamic, not to mention the fact that you look barely older than myself."

[will_you_still]

Yeaaaah she's several centuries old. But okay.

"Yeah, that's about my thoughts. Legal guardian that wants to make sure you don't spontaneously catch on fire or get bullied by people that think that until you are eighteen you are property, no actual mothering. But if you wanted it, I would try." Shrug.

[mxglam]

"Yeah, there are other reasons I don't want it. The catching-on-fire and bullying parts are okay, though."

[will_you_still]

"Sure. You will not get me awkwardly trying to mom where I'm not wanted," she assures. "That sounds like a terrible idea."

[mxglam]

"Yes, and therefore you will not do it, because you do not act on terrible ideas, because you are perfect, correct?"

[will_you_still]

"Exactly!"

[mxglam]

"How lucky I am."

[will_you_still]

"That is what everyone in my presence says," she agrees sagely.

[mxglam]

"Is it, now. Really. Everyone. In your presence. Says the thing."

[will_you_still]

"Yep. Sometimes it's just quietly, to themselves. Because they're too intimidated by my splendor."

[mxglam]

"I see. You may have an undiagnosed Master-Stranger power."

[will_you_still]

"I might! Shh, don't tell anyone."

[mxglam]

"I would never."

[will_you_still]

"Thank you." Pause. "Dad." Smirk.

[mxglam]

Snort.

[will_you_still]

Smug!

"Right then. So, anything else, or should I go interrogate them on your behalf?"

[mxglam]

"Nothing I can really think of."

[will_you_still]

"All right. You have my phone number if you need me, or if you'd like to talk."
