[OTA] You So Fine You Blow My Mind

[uncutclarity]

There's a yoga studio in Diamond Castle, of course. Silas is a devotee, and that means that yoga has a higher profile than it did before he became King and she became Ace (and Jack, before that). She's not using it today, though. It's become the kind of place where people look for her.

So instead she's in one of the few remaining empty rooms in Diamond Castle, in Pincha Mayurasana. She's simultaneously singing, though, which is probably not the most zen-like thing to do. Especially when it's Mickey.

She probably doesn't care, though.

Sitara doesn't tug on her father's arm and ask to join Avery like she might have - instead, she just nods softly before leaning her head on his shoulder.

"As long as you're finding some much needed peace. We could all use some of that."

[uncutclarity]

"Mmhm. It's not easy to come by," she says. "We've got to do things we'd normally do."

Though, really, at this point? What was normal.

[denythyfather]

"Just because it isn't easy doesn't mean we won't try our hardest. Isn't that right, Sitara?" Her reaction is muted at best, and he presses an affectionate kiss to her hairline before looking back at Avery. "How are you doing? How's Cadogan doing?" Not that the latter is more important, but. Avery will give a more honest answer.

I SAW THAT ICON.

[uncutclarity]

"He's working constantly," she tells Adrien. "I'd appreciate it if you reminded him that he has an apartment and is still required to sleep on occasion."

She stretches, smiling at Sitara. "He probably could use a reminder to play."

I'M NOT SURE WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT

[denythyfather]

"We'll make sure he gets sleep. He can't not get sleep if we tackle him and frogmarch him to a bed, right?"

Sitara giggles just a little at that, nodding. "I can... play." It's more than she's said in public for a while.

NOTHING AT ALL OF COURSE.

[uncutclarity]

"Exactly." Of course, no one was making Avery sleep, but she didn't have the same workaholic tendencies, did she?

And the Ace was supposed to take care of the rest of the Faces, to the extent that they'd let her.

"You're the only woman for the job, Miss Sitara. Your papa wouldn't do nearly as well."

[denythyfather]

Well, how's a girl supposed to not look pleased as punch at that? She'll squirm and laugh a little before Adrien changes the subject. "Is there any other way I can help? With, you know... what's going on."

[uncutclarity]

"I don't know." She doesn't really like having to say that. She wants to know exactly what everyone needs to be doing but she doesn't, really. "There's a lot of...complaints. And ruffled feathers. I think if anything, we need someone who can help smooth out arguments, sometimes."

[denythyfather]

"Well, if I don't have anything else, I have to money to convince people to sit down and shut their mouths." He gives her a quiet smile. "I'll see what I can do, Avery. Promise."

And of course, Sitara has to pipe up, "and I'll make sure Papa doesn't make fun of Sophie Aunty."

[uncutclarity]

"Thanks." She breathes out. "Cadogan probably needs the help as much as I do. He's getting a lot of...people." As was Silas. Säde wasn't.

But then, most of the Diamonds knew better than to expect help from Säde, it seems.

[denythyfather]

"People can be silly. We'll take care of them for you. I'll... tell Sophie too." He nods with a bright beam.

[uncutclarity]

Her lips twitch. Sophie and Adrien together would be unstoppable. "Thanks, Adrien," she says. "I really appreciate it."

[denythyfather]

They are unstoppable. Always. "You know I live to serve, Milady." He grins with a salute that Sitara immediately copies. "That'll be all?"

[uncutclarity]

"Go forth, good soldiers," she says with an impish grin and a matching salute. "Troops are dismissed."
