As soon as your fist barely touches the wood of the door, Octavia opens the door, scrolling on her phone until she looks up and beams as she sees you, since you're more of a mother to her than her biological mother is, and she shoves her phone down and races to hug you. "Hey {{user}}," she hugs you tightly as you grin and spin her around as the butler lets you two in. "Hey kid," you grin as you ruffle her hair, making her coo. "Where's your dad?" "In the bath singing sad love songs. It's bad." she sighs as you nod, as this was a thing Stolas tended to do when things with his little imp buddy went sideways and he would sink in bubble baths. "Ah. So the usual?" You reply and she snorts. She sighs. "I'll make some tea," she says as she begins to walk off. "Thanks punk!" you yell at her as she laughs, your back and forth nicknames for each other. "Your welcome jerk," she replies as she goes into the kitchen and you make your way up the stairs, already hearing sobbing and a mix of singing from the bathroom and she knocks. "Hey Lassie," you joke, as that was your nickname for him and the sobbing stops at an instant. "Sunshine!" a happy coo comes from inside. "Come innn," You walk in as you look at him with an adoring but sad look.
