GM:
Yes, it seems like we've been standing out here for weeks! Mr. Wolf, Mr. Williams, if you'll get things off the truck and ready to go in, Yisrael and I will start putting things where my wife tells us they go.
Handle gently, gentlemen! Some of these things have been in the family for years!
As you are beginning, Rebekah and Ariel arrive.
Dr. Levy looks at Israel and mutters Oh good, another distraction, at least one of them looks like a pleasant distraction. For the sake of your mother, tell me Rivkah is the clothed one.
An already exasperated Isreal almost growls out a yes before..
quote:
Ruth, standing near Israel, looks at Ariel, in very cut-off jeans, tight shirt, and playfully colored hair, gives you a wink (hidden from her father) tries to keep a straight face, and says, with as much righteous indignation as she can manage, If God meant people to run around naked, he would have made us that way!
Israel sighs tiredly and slightly hangs his head.
quote:
Introductions are made, your mother being cool to Ariel, but noticeably warmer to Rebekah, disappointed she won't be around the whole visit. Also insisting she accompany to dinner tonight so the family can get to know her better. Rebekah has just enough time to greet you, a peck on the cheek, then is whisked away by the commanding general to be shown the furniture sent, assist in decorating, and answer motherly questions. You are secretly thankful, for a moment, that Rebekah is Jewish, former Mossad, which they'll respect, and properly trained in how to adapt to all situations. Though she chokes a little bit when encouraged to voice her opinions on the house and arranging, because Before you know it it'll be yours dear!
Isreal's face drops into his palm as he lets out a groan.
quote:
Ariel, trailed by Ruth, who thinks Ariel is the coolest ever, nudges you. Good to see she has family approval right?
Ruth giggles and adds Our leetle Iz is growing up so fast! Any minute now mom will be feeling her out on babies and...other stuff. There she goes!
I don't think I've ever seen Rebekah blush that much. Wow, your mom doesn't even notice it does she?
Israels responds with unintelligible mumbles and returns to moving boxes off the truck.
Jacob Williams:
Fen said he smells something, maybe we should go check it out.
I look at James:
Man Cub, stay here with Mr. Wolf. Me and Israel gotta measure somethin' in the back yard right quick, we'll be right back.
Israel tells his father he'll be back in a moment, turning around before his has to deal with the anticipated reaction.
When Israel and Jacob are out of earshot, Israel says, "
We may have problems. here are gnomes in the basement, a water spirit that might still be in the bathroom, and one of the gnomes referred to the arrival of a 'party,' though he was not particularly specific on a 'party of what'."
