[The voice change had her raising an eyebrow, and a slow smile at the more grandiose theatrics. Even a soft laugh, as it was more familiar to her from her own clan.]

And here I thought you were a shy young man...

[A soft tease in her words, eyes sparkling in amusement.]

I am married also, despite your charming words.

[Definitely still teasing him, with the playful smile.]

I had meant to help her as well, as neither of you needed to be upset. And I can't say I'm surprised by her mother's reaction, though it always puzzles me. Wouldn't a concerned mother recognize another concerned mother, after all?

[Ah well. A soft sigh, her free hand up to her cheek in thought and slight dismay.]

I am willing to provide you the funds to attempt so, if you wish to take that course. If not, we can always find my husband, Gomez. I am quite sure he could win a prize for a young lady in distress.

Whuh? Huh?! M-married?! No, I — That wasn't —

( HE'S GAY AS A PICNIC BASKET. He shakes his head, waving a hand in embarrassment before she's moving on to address his earlier sentiment. He's horrified, but as she's breezing past the marriage sentiment, so should he.

His face is notably heated, though. )

I ... I want to try! I'm not the best at this sort of thing myself, but I wouldn't want to trouble your ... Your husband ...

( He comes to look over one of the stalls and the one adjacent before deciding on the dart toss. )

I can do it! I will do it! A ... Are you the type to play these, though ... ?

( Just in case he or her husband, when he's located, cannot secure a prize. He's just that kind of anxious sometimes. )

[Morticia hadn't meant to get him so flustered, and it was actually rather adorable although she wouldn't tell him that. Her smile remained, and she reached her hand out to gently pat his shoulder reassuringly.]

Mr. Aimono, I apologize--I did not mean to tease you this badly.

[Her apology and then sailing on as if it had never happened.]

I have no doubt that you will. I'll enjoy the game for my own sake. Perhaps I'll win a prize for Gomez, after all. Or my children, or Lurch. Lurch does so much, and while we make sure he knows he is appreciated and he is properly compensated, he might like a new stuffed friend.

[fourteenthmoon]

I-it's alright! We can just ... !

( Move past it, but he doesn't say that, instead passing a hand over his face, as though to wipe away the embarrassment and continue.

Sometimes it really is that easy, especially if she's being kind ... )

... Lurch?

( Is it too familiar to ask? Either way, that's quite the name. )

I can ... try to win as much as I can ... As a thank you for saving Amanda.

( Tongue stuck out of his mouth, he throws a dart. It misses, but he's undeterred; lining up the second shot, he misses that too ... )

[mostdreadfulmother]

[At his continued upset, Morticia was ready to pull out a handkerchief, but... He seemed to be doing better? She smiled reassuringly.]

Lurch is our butler. A dear, though very soft spoken.

[Explaining, before she's standing right by him encouragingly.]

Consider these practice rounds! I know you'll get it~~
