"Yeah, sad I couldn't kill you again!" Cue a small raspberry.She'd swear to her grave she wouldn't miss him one lick if something happened, even if there were tears and tears and tears coming down her face.
But yay free shampoo and conditioner! And maybe some make up and a few other bits and bobs if she snuck them in carefully . . .
"Howlison was okay," Piper protested as they walked. "He was . . . not so book smart, sure, but that's from all those bruteball tackles his coach put him in. Poor boil couldn't tell the different between pumpkins and oranges after practice." She laughed a little, but it sounded wistful. "We lasted . . . twenty-three days, I think. That's probably a record."

"Sure. Sure. You say that now," he raspberried her right back.
He just held onto her hand, seeming to relish in it as a big brother would when holding a smaller sibling's hand. Kettil hummed a bit as he glanced over at her, "One of these days you'll meet someone that you'll want to stay with forever and then you'll be all 'Cousin Teapot! I don't know what I am going to do! I think I am in love~~~,'" his voice had reached a playful falsetto as he imitated his cousin's speech.
"Then I'll demand to meet this person because I want to see who managed get you to fall like that~," he chuckled a little bit. Kettil was fiercely protective of Piper, he didn't want her heart to get broken.
Though right now it seemed that Piper was the one breaking all of the hearts in her wake.

Piper wouldn't ever admit how much her date life bothered her (even to Kettil), but her cousin's teases soothed her. Well, until the falsetto came in. "Forever sounds so long," she complained, giving a dramatic sigh. "And boring. That's the problem, I get bored fast."
Or she kept dating cute boils with not so much substance past that. Hmm.
"Maybe I should give ghouls a try instead," Piper mumbled thoughtfully as they reached the maul, playing up the woe is me card. "Clearly we're smarter and more interesting..."

He cleared his throat a bit and shook his head, "It isn't too long when you find someone that you actually connect with, Piper. You find that someone and they never bore you and they make you happy to be around them. When you find that one being that always surprises you... Then maybe you found that missing piece of yourself." The boil looked skyward thoughtfully, "At least that is how it is for me."
Kettil moved to pull open the door for his cousin, "Yeah maybe a ghoul wo--WHAT?" There was a small smack sound as Kettil moved to follow Piper and met with the door instead because he had let it go too early.
Quickly he opened the door and stumbled after Piper, "Wait, wait, wait, are you actually even attracted to ghouls? I don't think it works like an on and off switch, Piper." There was an actual note of concern to his voice.

Piper rolled her eyes. "You sound like a bad romance novel," she noted, nudging him with her shoulder before entering. "I mean I guess if I ever find someone, it'll be all bats and twilight magic, but eh...I'm getting a little jaded. I mean, what's a ghoul gotta do--"
It was here that she heard the smack and turned around, snickering as Kettil quickly recovered and scurried to her. "Who says?" she challenged with a shrug, making them wall once he caught up. "I'm sixteen, Teapot, the only things I know are that I wanna be a star and I wanna get married and I wanna be rich. The details are kinda sketchy beyond that." She was surprised to hear the concerned tone.

"I might sound like a bad romance novel but it's true," Kettil returned simply with a shrug. "You're too damn young to already be jaded. It's like you already went through three divorces and had at least five ungrateful scarelings that never call or write," he stuck his tongue out at his cousin.
Kettil just shook his head, "It's true some don't figure out their preferences until they are a little older or through experimentation, but I just don't agree with just doin' it on a whim. I mean what if you start gettin' all kissy faced on a ghoul but discover that you ain't into it? What if she takes it personal and starts s**t and stuff. I dunno. I just don't want you gettin' in unneeded hurt or trouble."
He was probably more concerned about his cousin than he was about the imaginary future ghoul whose heart she'd be breaking.

She raised her brows at the mental image. Her, a housewife! A homemaker with scarelings! How boringggggg. "Stop worrying," Piper pouted, sticking her tongue out in return. "Yeesh, it's not like anything's happened yet. I'm complaining! Speculating! Talking out loud!" She poked his arm with a smirk. "You know, that's what thinking people sometimes do. Now are you gonna buy me things or not? I haven't even been to this maul before!" She lived far enough out that they had a strip maul at best.

Kettil's brow furrowed a little bit even as she poked his arm and teased him about her speculation and that it was 'what thinking people do', what was he going to do when someone hurt Piper?
What was he going to do when someone complained that they were hurt by Piper just because she thought all was fun and games. The boil shifted his shoulders into a quiet shrug, "I just don't want anythin' bad to happen that's all. Now Auntie and Uncle can't make sure you behave so ..."
The boil felt uncomfortable with the conversation and thus he just grabbed her by the arm and dragged her to the nearest store that had hair products for her. "Yeah, yeah," he said gruffly.

"Nothing bad's gonna happen here, Teapot, gosh," Piper assured him, poking his arm again but allowing him to grab hers without resistance. Huffy Kettil might be huffy, but that wasn't going to ruin her first real maul experience!
Awww yeah, the good stuff.
She practically bounced from aisle to aisle, dragging Kettil along into the adventure. "So how've things been?" she asked as she perused. "You know, with like . . . her and stuff." That her.

"SAYS YOUUUU~," he singsonged louder than he meant to but there was no anger to it - just random singsonging because it was the thing to do and because he was tired of beleaguering heavy topics on their first get together in a while.
The boil just wandered toward the hair products after getting a small shopping basket with a free hand, "Everything is ... going very well. I just... I really am sorry I didn't write to you sooner and stuff, is all."
Kettil's brow furrowed a little as he stared at hair products for ghouls, "I am also sorry that I'm a rotten cousin."

Two could play at that game. "Totallyyyy sorryyyyyy~♪" she sangsong back. "That's why you're buying me all these great things to make up for it. Oh! Make up! They prolly got some here, hold up . . ."
Ten seconds later, like magic, Piper returned with several items, namely new lipstick and several colors of eyeshadow. "And of course you're gonna talk about it right now. Like that whole fake wedding thingamajig at prom, the hell was up with that?"

He acted like she just dumped lead into the basket and his whole body slumped to show the hard work she's making him do by carting all of this evil around. Kettil started selecting out hair products for Piper unless she interjected with other things.
"Mmmm? Ooo...h..." He sort of wore a goofy smile for a moment, "It was just funning around. Nothin' serious at all...Promise. We'd invite family for the real one, y'know!"

Piper was completely and purposefully oblivious to her cousin's suffering and added to the pile. "Yeah, bet it'll be great," she remarked with a deadpan tone before checking her nails. Maybe she should get something for them while they were at it . . . Blue? Yellow? Maybe spice things up a bit this time with a new color . . . Or, ooo, a design!
"You gonna gush about her or what?" Not that it'd change Piper's stance, no sir: Teapot was an idiot, but he couldn't just go and marry some stranger! And without her explicit permission too!

Kettil just sort of made a small hurt expression at her disinterest at his personal life and future wedding plans, "C'mon Piper, I'd even be more excited than this if you said you were getting married, after I recovered from my heart attack that is."
Then she asked him if he was going to gush and he just raised an eyebrow at her, "...Normally I'd enjoy doin' that, but I doubt you'd listen or give her a chance if I did gush...So..."
Basically Kettil wasn't too thrilled with Piper's mannerisms.
