"Hey." he gave her a small smile & nudged her upright, kissing her shoulder softly. "Take it easy. Just because we got off lucky with Ana doesn't mean that girl's aren't supposed to wake up one morning & decide they hate their parents." he jostled his wife a little, before kissing behind her ear softly to try to make her smile.
Persy, who had finished washing her hands for the umpteenth time, headed downstairs & into the living room with TJ & Ana, slumping down into the corner couch & pulling her knees up to her chest, watching them play chess without a word to either of them.

Ashley did not look comforted by this at all "that does not make me feel any better" she stuck out her lip sadly and sighed deeply " I just..I-I was never I mean I didn't...I don't know what I am supposed to say to her when I was 12 all I wanted to was sit in my room and read if a boy spoke to me I'd pretty much run away...."
Tj glared at Ana when she took his king and softly chimed out checkmate "again?!" he growled playfully at the blonde who widened her eyes innocently shrugging "sorry" she mumbled softly. Tj shook his head "nope it's not ok" he grinned playfully nudging her.

"Ashley." he turned her on his lap & kissed her forehead. "It's alright. Just let her come around. It's probably.. hormones." he shuddered at the word.
Persy leaned over curiously to look, chewing on her lip & watching the pieces on the board smashing each other up until Ana won the round, sinking back into her seat quietly. She didn't really want to apologize. She just wanted things to immediately be better.

Ana completely oblivious to everyone else smiled when her sister came in the room and instantly took a seat beside her "hey did you want a turn?" she nodded at the chess board. Tj cocked an eyebrow at his younger sister his head tilting to the side obviously offering to play a game with her.
Ashley stepped into the living room after dinner was cooking her hand in Thorfinn's, smiling faintly at Persy she shook her head "could we speak with you in the kitchen for a moment sweetheart" she nodded at Persy.

Persy was about to (politely) decline before her head snapped up to Ashley in the doorway. Wanting to avoid a talking-to more than anything, she pointed at the board & protested, but Thorfinn poked his head up around Ashley & doubled the gesture of beckoning her over, making her sigh quietly, defeated, & pad across the floor over to her parents. Hanging her head a little, she avoided eye contact as she walked.

Ashley smiled at Persy watching as she moved towards them and offered for her to sit down at the table "your father and I have been talking and have come to an agreement" she nodded encouragingly at her daughter a sweet smile on her face.

Persy's entire face lit up, she wasn't one for the poker face, but Thorfinn looked momentarily horrified.
"We what." he stared at his wife unblinkingly, though her eyes were on their youngest daughter, instead, who was squirming in her seat as she awaited the update impatiently.
"Agreement on what?" the little brunette snapped - but it wasn't cruel or rude in any way, simply impatient, giddy.
"Yeah, agreement on what?" Thorfinn repeated, still staring at Ashley, one eyebrow raised questioningly at her.

Ashley gently patted Thorfinn on the shoulder in a loving but still dismissive manor " you are allowed to go out with the boy /IF/ you bring your sister I would recommend you make it a group thing so it doesn't look like your older sister baby sitting you" Ashley flashes an innocent smile at her daughter.
TJ who was obviously eves dropping cackled from in the living room while poor Ana was emerssed in a book only Looking up at TJ's obnoxious laughter "hm?"

Persephone's jaw dropped slightly.
"Mom." She breathed in protest, eyes widening. "That's not - that isn't fair. She's - she doesn't even like going out. It's not fair to her." As if that was her main concern.

Ashley crossed her arms " I'm sorry sweetheart but that is the deal, you either take your sister or you are not going and if I find out you went behind my back and trust me" she eyed her youngest sternly "I will find out, you will be grounded and not going to Paris with the rest of the family Over spring break you can stay home with your uncle Alex"

She pouted a little more.
"I'm not even - I'm not even arguing about taking her, I just know she doesn't want to."
Thorfinn hummed, liking the sound of this a lot more - even a group thing didn't sound so bad, all things considered.

Anna upon realizing that she was the one who was being discussed she smiled weakly "I don't mind going...it could be fun" she instantly sunk into her shoulders at the look her younger sister gave her then turned to her mom with big eyes "I mean I don't have to - I uh unless you want me to" she trailed off unsure of who she should be trying to please here.
Ashley looked at Ana guiltily the last thing she wanted was to upset Anna who was innocent in the situation "Anna if you would like to go then you absolutely should but if you are not comfortable with going that is just fine....TJ will just have to-"
TJ instantly interupted " I WILL DO THIS. FOR THE GOOD OF THIS FAMILY" he stepped in with his nose in the air hand to his heart at if taking an Oath.

"No." Persephone snapped sharply, turning to glare at TJ before turning back to Ana with a syrupy-sweet smile. "You can come. It'll be fun." she gritted her teeth a little - it wasn't that she was so opposed to spending time with her sister, she just didn't want her to be uncomfortable - and then have to take care of her to avoid being in trouble with her mother later on. Still, Ana was definitely a better choice than TJ.

TJ Sighed in disappointment then side stepped leaning in to whisper to his father "don't worry I will run survallience ...even if they don't know it" he brought his finger tips together slowly finger tenting like a boss
Ana smiled at Persy genuinely flattered that she seemed so happy that she wanted her to go and so she agreed "I would love to come I will ask Nate to go with us too" she scooted in closer and whispered to her sister "don't worry we will sit a little bit away from you guys" she grinned with wide eyes nodding this is probably the most rebellious thing she has ever done in her life.
Ashley totally heard Ana but it was too cute for her to say anything she simply smiled at her children adoringly "so it's settled"

Thorfinn smirked, slowly raising one fist expectantly to him.
Persephone beamed. "Perfect." Flashing both of her parents a little grin, she scooted in to kiss them each on the cheek. "Call me when dinner's ready, I have an owl to send." And with that, she scampered off to her room.
Thorfinn sighed, watching her leave, and then turned to Ana, saying genuinely, "Please keep an eye on her."
