[b]Gratia Mindaro - VGGB Dorm[/b]

"[color=66cd00]A café?[/color]"

The question was one that Gratia Mindaro immediately answered for herself by flipping open her device to check her unread messages. As she had correctly assumed, this supposed café trip was a proposal by Nuit, which just had to fucking coincide with her parents' visit. There was so much shit she needed to do with them and talk about, and drinking overpriced coffee with the other Mistralese girl was far lower on her priorities list than engaging with her family.

Said family, however, had opposing opinions.

"[color=ADFF2F]Friends?[/color]" asked Valentinian, her father immediately cluing onto Beryl's use of the plural form. "[color=ADFF2F]Gratia veux aller prendre un café with friends?[/color]"

The Mindaro patriarch's onyx eyes immediately met his wife's. She smiled, and he nodded in return. The message was received.

"[color=9ACD32]I believe that is a [i]wonderful[/i] idea,[/color]" said Severa happily, glancing down at her daughter and placing a soft hand against the younger Mindaro's shoulder. "[color=9ACD32]But you should change out of those clothes first, Gratia. You shouldn't go out all the time in that garb.[/color]"

"[color=66cd00]I don't, and-.[/color]"

"[color=9ACD32]It's been far too long since I've assisted you with your clothing,[/color]" continued the Mindaro matriarch, cutting off any chance of her stoic daughter protesting (not that she would), "[color=9ACD32]I want to meet your friends, Gratia, but let's get you into something more comfortable for coffee![/color]"

"[color=ADFF2F]We'll be going ahead then, yeah?[/color]" Valentinian said, looking over at the rest of the room's occupants. "[color=ADFF2F]It'll be nice meeting her pals, and-[/color]"

He nodded towards Geni.

"[color=ADFF2F]- you'd be able to make some nouveaus amis too if you come along.[/color]"

Meanwhile, Severa was already pulling Gratia towards the girl's wardrobe. Their conversation was growing more distant.

"[color=9ACD32]Do you still have that old scarf of yours?[/color]"

"[color=66cd00]Yes, but that's a shitty choice for coffee, mama.[/color]"
