"Yep," Nahm said, amused. "You're definitely a Scythe. Would you like to go yell at him in person?" It might be easier to get her to come with him than he'd thought.

"SI!" she bellowed. "I will tell him to his face that he is an a**!" Ohhhh, she really WAS pissed, using such language! She started storming forward--obviously intent on going to yell at Vegas--
And was going exactly the wrong direction.

"Wrong way," Nahm called after her. "I can show you."

The back of her neck turned red as she turned back to the grue. "I knew that, si," she said quietly, bright red under her makeup as she started storming forward in the... somewhat right direction.
"If he has a grandson... and he is my padre... does that make me una tía?" she asked, getting distracted. "How old is my sobrino?" If he was going to school, did that mean-- "Is he older than I am?"

Nahm matched Terra's pace and courteously offered her his arm. Sobrino must mean nephew, he thought; he had a few words of Spanish, but this one he had to guess. "Roch is a coupla years older than you," he said. "About my age."
He guided her in the right direction, heading for the gates and down the hill.

She took the arm, looking at him with a strangely lost gaze. "But.. I do not understand this world," she admitted. "It was mi madre y--my madre and me, and yet here I find I am--related to a womanizer and the aunt of a boil older than I am--the third one," she said as they started down the path to town, "who is he?"

"Roch's dad - must be your brother," Nahm said thoughtfully. Then he slanted a look sideways at her. "Sorry if I seem kinda not weirded out," he said. "Grues got tangled up family trees. I think I got something like thirty cousins, and that's not counting clan-cousins, and one of my sisters was askin the Council for space for a pumpkin with her ghoulfriend, so I might be an uncle, hell if I know."

"Oh! Un bebé!" she said, getting excited. "I love the little babies, they are so cute! I would very much like to meet your sobrino--or your sobrina someday!" Easily distracted by other things, it seemed. "But I have a brother? I... no, you have not met him, you say. But he is old enough to have a son," she said, trying to picture him in her mind. "He is a reaper--they all are reapers, as well, si?" she asked.
"Oh! Por favor, your skelephone number?" she asked, pulling out her new phone and holding it up to him. "I can call people!" She seemed quite proud of this fact. "Is it not beautiful?"
The phone. It was beautiful emotion_kirakira

"Grue kids bite," Nahm said, and grinned. "Gonna have to watch your fingers. Yeah, all reapers. Weirdoes. Oh, wait, sorry," he said lightly, teasing.
"Nice phone," he nodded, and fished his own out of his robe. "Here's my number." Oh yes. Later he would be informing Roch that his aunt had asked for Nahm's phone number after knowing him for only five minutes.

Terra happily accepted the number--only to fight with her phone to figure out how to add it. She spent the entire walk to Casino Royale completely oblivious to the dangers that lurked in the shadows. "I did it!" she bragged as they entered the door. "See? I just need to push this.... and this... and then this and I have--"
"Tell me you didn't steal the phone, too," Vegas drawled, looking at the little blonde ghoul that had just walked into his place. THIS was his daughter? He was still claiming fraud, jackdammit.

Nahm nodded respectfully to Vegas; his eyes flicked to his grandfather. He said nothing. He'd held up his end of the deal, and was now respectfully shutting up.
"Hello, ghoulie," Chank chuckled.

"You--you--YOU have no right to lecture me on things such as stealing!" Terra burst out, her mind not quite taking in the fact that the man in front of her was HUGE and far older, and most likely, far more dangerous than she was-- "You have no right to say anything, you--you mujeriego!"
Vegas stared at her a bit blankly. There was a hint of confusion in his steel gray eyes as she started ranting. When she was out of breath, he took his time blowing another smoke ring before speaking. "Chank, boil," he said, nodding to the grues in turn, "this is my kid."
Because even he wasn't stupid enough to keep denying it when she was wielding a perfectly formed violin that doubled as a two headed axe. She hadn't even noticed that she had summoned it, he noticed as she blinked in confusion at him. "Who needs a job to pay off the three hundred seeds worth of stolen merchandise that she's sporting," he added.

Chank burst into laughter, slapping the table and doubling over in his chair. "Takes after you, Vegas," he wheezed.
Nahm stifled a laugh. He wasn't dumb enough to snort audibly, but he hid a grin behind his scarf.

"EEEEE!!!" Monica squealed, coming out of the kitchen in nothing more than a thong and two sparkling tassels. "SHE'S SO BEAUTIFUL!!" she yelled, throwing herself at the fourteen year old ghoul and kissing her on both cheeks as she hugged her tightly.
Terra... had not expected a mostly naked woman to throw herself at her, to say the least. "Pardon?" she finally squeaked out.
"You will NOT make my new baby go out and work for things you should have bought in the first place!" the sparkly, bouncy undead woman said rudely, turning on Vegas. "Nahmy!! Screechy, how have you been? You haven't been over to chat in so long!" she added, completely distracted as she saw the teenage boil.

"Hi Monica," Nahm said cheerfully. "Always nice to see you. I've been studying hard."
Chank snorted.
Nahm blinked innocently.
