Kettil had gotten the call from Piper as soon as she was school bound. He'd mentioned it to Freya in a offhanded sense of someone that wasn't sure what to do about his feels on this particular subject. Not in a million years had he expected his own darling cousin was going to be attending the school while he was still there. For some reason Kettil had it in his head that he would be graduating before anyone in his family could catch up to him.
Not that he hated his family. He loved them all.
He just didn't expect to still be in school and ...
These thoughts were starting to twirl into a weird vicious cycle as he got out his phone and sent Piper a text. Quote: TO: Afro-Queen FROM: Kettil Hey. Wanna meet up and poke around campus or something? Seems a damn shame that my cousin came to school and I wasn't the first one to greet her. Unless you're already popular and busy~.

Piper was meeting with her old nemeses: empty shampoo and conditioner bottles. There was a price to pay for beauty, of course, but the ghoul didn't have a great budget to work with; her parents were of the notion that she ought to work to get her seeds, sent her off with a small bag as a started point, and wished her luck in her job search.
Ugh.
She was tossing the bottles out of her shower with various noises of frustration and grumbling when she heard her phone go off. Her cousin's name was the highpoint of her day thus far; he ought to feel honored somehow.Quote: Text to Kettilyou know im popular teapot but i GUESS i can come find you~ i need to get out anyway

Slowfro? Slowfro? SLOWFRO?
She would have laughed if she wasn't indignant at such an accusation. Why, she practically rushed over right then and there, an angry bob of blue hair heralding her approach as she pointed one finger to jab at her cousin's chest.
"You are slowfro!" Piper retorted with the poutiest of pouts. And then that was quickly erased by the grin splitting her face as she launched herself at Kettil with a hug. "Teapooooooot, what did you do to your haaaiiiirrrrrr? It's all smooth!"

He saw her hair long before he saw her. Kettil was used to this.
He prepared himself for a very indignant Piper and to get poked into oblivion. The boil laughed as he reached over and patted her hair, "BUT I HAVE NO FROOOOO. IT WOULD BE A LIIIEEEE."
Then she launched herself at him for a hug. He caught her up and spun about with her once, "Pip-per~," he chimed out back at her with a laugh. "Yeah! You like it? My ghoulfriend and I un-dreaded it a while back."
Pause, "Fiancée. She's my fiancée now."

"Your hair isn't hair anymore, it's just...limp!" she announced with an aghast look, shaking her head both to emphasize the point and to try and undo Kettil's probably oily-fingered meddling. "I liked it better with dreads--"
And then he went and said the F word.
Piper stared up at him, her arms slowly sliding off his body.
"Who's what now?"

He gave her a look of amusement, "It is not limp! It is relaxed. Also I can do more stuff with it now! Also? It looks awesome when I do headbanging," he announced rather matter-of-fact, "doesn't hurt as much when I whip my head back."
Honestly, it felt like he was trying to whip himself.
"Oh. Uh. Right you prolly don't know this yet," Kettil scratched at his jaw before he went on, "I'm datin' a ghoul named Freya and I proposed to her. She said yes."
Kettil made jazz-hand motions at Piper as if to wordlessly say, 'tada!'

Most of what Kettil said went over her head after the F word . . . up until he said another F word. No, these weren't F words but F bombs.
Piper stared at him some more.
"When did this happen?" she demanded, hands now on her hips. "I thought you were going to let her meet me first! I have to approve before you marry anyone!" Bypassing her obvious authority ruffled her feathers like nobody's business, and no amount of jazz hands would fix that.

Kettil sort of stared at Piper and reached up to scratch at his jaw, "Couple weeks back or so? Been goin' through some things so I don't keep real good track of time!" He was trying to make a case for himself and it was flimsy at best.
"W..Well! I love her, Piper! I wanted to ask her and it felt right. I think you'd like her, though. She's pretty feisty and fun!" Kettil continued on.

A couple of weeks ago oh my Jack you're kidding.
Piper was judging so hard a gavel was bound to just spontaneously appear in her hand. Like magic.
"So?" she scoffed, because now by law she was bound to dislike the ghoul on principle. The principle being to annoy Kettil for annoying her for not saying anything about it. "Maybe I'll think she's ugly and smells bad and needs a haircut." A hand left her hip to rub her temple as if to ward of a headache. "Teeeaaaapooooooot. I want to be happy, but married? Does the family even know?"

Kettil's response was to whine pathetically at Piper as he suddenly draped his arms around her and began to sway with her. He was now being twice as obnoxious and invading her personal space to boot.
"Piperrrrrrrr. I have told them over the phone. Mom was pretty happy and so was Dad. They really liked her when they met her, isn't that enough? I just," Kettil then rested his chin on top of her curly mass of hair. "I'm sorry, okay. You know I get caught up easy with stuff when I get excited. But I'm so happy you're here~~~."
Either he was being sincere or changing the subject.
...Probably a little of both.

What no stop stahp this was her space stahpppppppp--
"You better be, 'cause no-one's keeping you in line!" Piper pouted, swaying even harder to convey both her frustration over this and to possibly try and throw Kettil off. Sure, he could call his family and left her in the dark . . . Bleh.
"So I'm going to meet her soon, right?" she prompted with a brow raise, tilting her head up to try and look at him . . . over her puffball of hair . . . somehow . . . "Because I don't care if you got their permission already, I have to meet her and bother her and see if she can make it hanging out with the Blackes."Pales I HAVE BEEN INSPIRED AGAIN

He then began to just nuzzle her cheek as affectionate and obnoxious as possible because that is what cousins are for. "You're my favorite cousin that keeps me in line~." Her swaying didn't seem to throw him off if anything he took it as her dancing with him.
"Of course you get to meet her soon! Just let me know when you're ready and we'll set something up," he chattered happily as he swung his cousin around in his arms.
Why Piper even dealt with him was a mystery to everyone. "I really do hope you'll grow to like her, Piper," he went still this time and gave her a serious look.
Ol-j-man Why do you even RP with me. idek.

Piper did as any younger sister would and scowled and pushed at him until she was finally extricated form his arms and allowed her personal bubble of space again. Even though the cheek nuzzle was totally nice. "Your favorite cousin's gonna kill you if you mess with her hair like that," she grumbled, running her hand through her hair several times to get it back to its fluffed glory.
Maybe she'd like this Freya, maybe she wouldn't. She wasn't going to amek a guarentee this way or that until she knew how the ghoul influenced her cousin (much less make him fall in love ew gross).
"So, here's what we're going to do. You're going to take me some place I can buy some hair products, and you're going to be an awesome host and pay for me," Piper stated, poking his chest with a look. "Because Mama took away my allowance again. She didn't like me sneaking around with Russell Howlison apparently."

He made grabby hands at her and pouted but he didn't pounce on her again after she achieved her personal bubble again. Kettil smiled warmly at her, "You wouldn't kill me, Pip. You'd be sad."
Kettil liked calling her bluff.
As she poked his chest and made her demands he just sort of stared at her and flatly said, "No one likes you sneaking around him, he's a scumlord." He then reached and took her hand. "Let's go then!"
Apparently he agreed to the whole buying his cousin things idea without much protest.
