Nikki covers her mouth trying not to squeal with joy. She then takes a few deep breaths to regain her composure and carefully closes back up the box and wraps it up.

Unfortunately for her, she wasnt as quiet as she hoped. "Honey? Is something wrong?"

"N-nothing! Just-just stubbed my toe is all! Be out in a minute!" She calls out to me before whispering some swears to herself. After finishing the gift, she gently places it back in her purse like it was a newborn Ashie in her crib all over again. She wipes away a small tear before shaking off her over excitement and straightening up her dress and combing up her hair.

"Aaanyways, moving on. I'm in acquisitions," I guide the conversation back on track. "Real estate, family heirlooms and other rare items."

''Not really a lie, but it does sound nicer than "Government Sanctioned Interdimensional space pirate/murder hobo, Bounty Hunter, smuggler, arms dealer, and wetworks agent!" But, my mother is here, and Nikki told me not to make the rest of her family think I'm some kind of lowlife thug. I just hope Noodle and Har haven't already said anything!''

"I do also have some interplanetary connections, so I have taken on work as an impromptu diplomat of sorts."

My mother simply hums and goes back to talking about my sister. "Yes she has some rather crazy war stories. Like about four years ago, she had to settle this dispute between two neighboring families of vampires and vampire mosquitoes."

Did she really just dismiss me like that?

"They actually got into a brawl halfway through the hearing and she accidentally got dragged in! She did end up with a very humble apology and a hefty settlement from the vampire who bit her!"

Nicole calmly walked back into the dining room and sat back down in her chair. "Wow! Everything looks great Dawn!" She hands the precious cargo that was hidden in her purse back to Harley under the table and breifly squeezes the paws of her little sister while complementing her older.
