>>10592352Just as her dad pulls out his phone, getting ready to text her, Sapphire comes down the stairs, finally haven gotten changed out of the black sweats & shirt and mask, opting to have just kept to wearing her PJ's. As she'd pass by the fridge, she'd open it and grab part of a sandwich before taking her seat at the table with Nicole and her parents.
>Mom: Oh how nice of you to join us! You friend here was just telling us about her recent medal placement!>Jen: They're called Championships mom, and Nicole here's the Intercontinental Champion.>Dad: Incontinence Champion? Maybe we should have the servant's fetch some towe->Jen: No Dad, Intercontinental. As in, more than one continent. Madame Divine, she's... kind of like the leader of our group. She won the World Championship. Or so Nikki says. But those photos... Sapphire takes a bite of her sandwich, her mom smiles as one of the servants finally arrived with a piece of peach pie.
>Mom: Thank you, Javier. I do hope peach pie is fine, Nicole?>Dad: If not we do have cake instead. Sapphire looks at Nikki, giving her mother the same googly eyes she herself gave Cassie, and Lucy more recently. She tries to hold back a grin as the servant brings out a pie and sets it on the table, as the four begin to dig in.
>Jen: Oh i'm sure she'll love your peach pie, mom! Although, I know for a fact she enjoys a good cream pie too!>Dad: Unfortunately I finished all of the cream pie last night after, you, uh... walked in on us.Sapphire's mind begins to drift back to last night, both the defeat at the hands of Onigiri, topped off by catching her mom and dad in the act, a look of terror on her face as bits of her sandwich fall from her mouth.
Mom: Oh, speaking of last night, You said you had a question for us, sweetie?
Sapphire snaps back to reality as she responds
>Jen: Oh, right. Um, this may sound weird, but, um... Do either of you know why I can, like, teleport?Sapphire's mom's fork hit the plate with a metallic clang.
