Aug. 25th, 2012 12:05 amshadowflower[Time has passed; Tucker Bailey had taken Monts to meet Jacob Randall and the demon Rathen to see if there was anything they can do to get rid of the Shadow Flower's bond to her body and to her blood. For now there was no immediate solution. There was still some mysteries to be solved, more research to be done. But for now there was still hope. Even if the problem wasn't solved yet, what was important to Marianna was that she was still with Tucker.
They returned to her home with mostly little incident, but now there were other things to think about: having the boyfriend meet the family for instance. Monts' grandparents and father were especially insistent after she dropped a few more hints and she finally relented. She would introduce him after the main celebrations of a young cousin's Quinceañera at a fancy hotel.
Things mostly went well. There were some questions and remarks ("I didn't know you liked British men!"), some friendly teasing from the younger cousins, and curiosity, but everyone was genuinely surprised that Monts spoke so well of him. It was a surprise that she cared so much about him. It seemed like everything would be fine.
At least until her brother Nicolas showed up.
It only takes one attempt at friendly conversation to make her want to avoid her older brother for the rest of the evening. He doesn't feel happy for her, he doesn't intend to. Fine. What she doesn't count on is Tucker talking to Nicolas one on one and before she knew it, one hit to the face and a full brawl was about to ensue if her father and grandpa hadn't broken it up.
Now Monts has led Tucker back up to their hotel room and she's uncharacteristically brooding and upset. She closes the door and turns to him.]
You didn't have to do that!
