<span style="font-style: italic">"Er...um...Stella...is that your dad? Or perhaps a lawyer?"</span>Dusk had said with a tone of nervousness in it as she turned to see what he was talking about. And as she turned and realized who now stood there watching them it was an un-welcomed guest if she had ever seen one. A tall dark haired man stood there they same cold blue eyes starred back at her. Which now her gaze was one of irritation as she looked at the over confident Ladon he was one of her fathers friends sons. Also one of the many who had tried there hand at courting her but still had yet to give up. Before she could answer Dusk Ladon spoke "Ah my dear dear Estella how I have missed your flowery grace" he said his voice soft and gentle. Stella made a face of slight disgust she did not care for this man's company not now not any time but being her fathers daughter she did her duty. "Why Ladon what an unexpected surprise what do I owe the honor?" she said gently trying to hide her unhappiness. Lado walked further into the kitchen ignoring Dusk's presence  "yes yes I know forgive me i just arrived in the area and thought of you and just had to see you" he claimed but Stella knew what had happened. Her father was what had happened he had cancelled with her and so called Ladon to check in on her not out of concern but to mack sure she was staying in line. she let out a sigh taking in the patience she needed "Well Ladon as much as it is a pleasure I am with a guest and I do not wish to be rude but could you come by another time?" she asked trying her hardest to be polite to the snake in the grass.
