Glamour moved, pulsing into the world and Sealing the kid's agreement with the Wyrd. It wasn't the amped-up Sealing; that wasn't the point. What mattered was her knowing if the Pledge shattered.
"Thank you. Your trust means a lot to me." She looked to the pair of them, each to each, and smiled. "I'm on dish duty. Thanks for dinner. Holler if you need anything."
A nod.
"Cartwrights."
They had a lot to work through. With any luck, tonight was a start.

Ivory granted Kai a nod as she elected to do the dishes. The dragon certainly wasn't going to stop her.
"Thank you, Kai," she offered, her relief clear that she at least didn't need to deal with the cleanup. Making the dinner had been something new and difficult.
Ivory gathered her dishes and brought them to the Wizened before returning tableside to rest a hand on her son's shoulder, giving it a gentle squeeze as she lowered herself so that they might speak quietly.
"Is there anything right now that you want to discuss and try to understand?" she asked, "As I said, I'm limited on what I can say, but... you're thoughts matter, honey. I want you to feel secure in all of this."
"Or do you need time alone? I know this has been a lot and I don't want you to feel overwhelmed," the dragon continued, "Although I do got some mint chocolate chip ice cream in the freezer if you want something sweet after all the spice."

Anthony watched the exchange carefully. From what Ivory could tell, he seemed distracted and was just trying to slam the reset button.
As Ivory reassured him, he blinked a few times. "I guess I just want to know what I can do help you feel like you can trust me? Or, I guess, just feel better overall where you're not having to navigate me. I can move out? So you and Kai don't have to hide? Things can be chill with Evelyn again."
He offered a smile, "Thanks again for cooking."

There was a soft smile at the mention of trust, the dragon's hand remaining where it was upon her son's child.
"Anthony, I do trust you," she offered, "More than you know. We've been through a lot together and I know how strong you can be."
"You don't have to change anything you are doing to make me feel better. Live your life, go to school, or don't if you want to try something else," Ivory continued, "I have no objections to you staying here at all. This is your home too, but, if you decide you'd like to be somewhere else, we can make some calls and try to find you a good apartment. We... haven't really hidden things from you? Aside from the obvious I mean. It's like Kai said, aside from a few things, we're just people living life for the most part. I'm pretty much the same to our people as I am to you. Sometimes they think I'm pretty okay. Sometimes they think I'm a bit of a bitch."
The last statement was said with an air of jest to lighten the seriousness of it all with a wink and a smile.
"Not really that different from your dad's friends, am I right?"
People often hated or loved Ivory. Sure, occasionally there was always a few in the gray, but overall the dragon felt people either leaned to one extreme or the other. At least as far as she was concerned.
"I'm glad you liked it," Ivory said, a hint of pride in her voice at the success of the dish, "Thank you for talking to me. You want some dessert or are you okay?"

The jest illicitness a dry laugh. When she floats that she deals with shades of sexism on both sides of the tracks, he mutters a sarcastic 'oh, awesome.'
"Yeah, same." The younger agrees to the offer of ice cream, assuring himself out loud that it was his cheat day with a more genuine laugh.
