Open Watching the kids

[Professor Conan Edogawa]

Conan didn't really like attending the school events. It's not that he didn't like them, it's more like he did when he was a student, and having a parent watch over you, he wasn't sure if it was ruining the experience. And it was also hard not to intervene with what was happening all around the dance. He could see Hina with her friend - he still did not understand how his sweet girl could have a Zhefarovich as a friend, but Corey had Kalif Styx - not the professor - as a friend so also not surprising. She'd brought Eli with her which made for an odd sight. He'd rather not look at Mikael and his boyfriend. He thought he'd seen Rose milling about with a Slytherin boy which made him narrow his eyes. And then Jonah was dragging another boy down to the snack table - one of James' twin demons. And then there was Eury and her own... did that kid just give her a kiss? Wasn't she too young for that? Should he tell Ai? Liam? He was getting too old for this, he decided as he stood at the edge of the hall, leaning on the wall and running a hand through his face.​

 

[Tiziano Edogawa]

One of the advantages of now being in the school - aside from being able to watch over Eury and keeping tabs on Mikael for his own sanity - was Uncle Conan not being able to escape him. Meandering over to the old man, he threw an arm around his Uncle, and leaned all his weight against him. “Yō, jiisan! Masaka urotsuiteru to wa omowanakatta ze.*” He said, grinning from ear to ear because it’s funny that they can’t escape him. They were essentially locked in a castle together, Tizi sort of had an office and everything. Not really because he supposed technically the library wasn’t an office, but it was close enough right? He snorted at the thought. “Rōse wa doresu ga kawaii kedo, Eury no wa chotto yoku wakaranai na,**" he frowned looking over at his infant sister in her dress. Mikael was doing whatever he did with his boyfriend and it did make Tizi miss Lille like crazy. “Also hi!”

*“Sup’ old man? Never thought I’d see you milling about.”
**“Rose looks cute in her dress, not sure I appreciate Eury’s though,”​

 

[Professor Conan Edogawa]

Conan had exactly four nephews and three nieces from his twin sister. While two of the kids were still infants and could hardly do any more than cry and babble, Conan was of the opinion that his nieces were spoiled and his nephews were unhinged. And he firmly, firmly believed, that Tiziano was the most unhinged of the lot, Ai and Liam must have dropped him as a baby. On his head. Multiple times. Each. "Chaperone," he said with a sigh. And then looked over to where Rose was hanging about, she did look cute in that dress, though he sort of wished she did not go with that boy. They were a little too young to have dates weren't they? When did he even start bringing Taylor to the Yule Ball? It wasn't at this age he was sure. "Eury-chan wa kawaī to omoukedo, kareshi o tsukuru ni wa chotto waka suginai?" he said with a snort because what else was he going to call the boy that she was holding on to and kissing her on the cheek.

*I think Eury-chan looks cute, but isn't she a little too young to have a boyfriend?​

 

[Tiziano Edogawa]

“I’d hardly consider him a boyfriend,” he said, though he wasn’t sure he was thrilled with how close they were. The less time he spent looking the better, probably. He would have to remind Lille that they were to not allow any future children, should they have any, to attend dances. He barely remembered his time at this school, he’d transferred fairly early on so hadn’t had to worry too much. “Did you come to many dances when you were here Uncle?” He imagined he probably had, Aunt Taylor was always very energetic whenever he saw her, and she definitely seemed the type that would have enjoyed a good dance. He knew they’d been together for a long time but wasn’t actually sure how long they’d been together.​

 

[Professor Conan Edogawa]

"Riiiiiight," Conan nodded because just as Tiziano said that it seemed that the young boy decided to kiss her again - on the lips this time. "What would you call him then?" he said as he pointed a finger towards the... well, he supposed they really would be a young couple now. This was definitely something to share with Taylor because Merlin, were their kids really at that age already where they would have dates for dance and get kisses? Little Eury was younger than the triplets. Nope, nope. They definitely shouldn't have boyfriends yet. Too young! They should be at least... well Corey got married at 25, so that was a good age to get a boyfriend right? He turned his attention back to Tizi when he asked about their school days. Conan and Taylor, and Tiziano's parents. He was pretty sure all of them didn't talk about their school days as much as the kids would like to hear about them. There just wasn't anything that would be good for them to hear. Especially with regards to Conan and Tiziano's mum. Oh yeah, did you know I disowned your mum for like... I don't know... 5 years? Good talk. Yeah, probably not. Best stick to... well edited stories he supposed. "I don't think I did really. Maybe in 6th or 7th year? We only had the Yule Ball back then," he said. That sounded about right. He and Taylor probably spent their school years broken up than together. But he was sure they'd attended at least one dance together so it was probably in their 7th Year, because that was when they started to be a little less... broken-uppy.​

 

[Professor Marigold Cooper]

“Never been to nuthin’ like this before, eh.” Marigold had noticed Conan when she headed in, and only noticed the man he was talking to - the new Librarian? - a little later, but she’d wanted to see it anyway. “Heard ’bout these dances before, yeah, but don’t always got time to come watch—busy preppin’ lessons an’ all that,” she said, looking over the whole thing. It was a little pink for her tastes, but she wasn’t going to let that stop her. There was something to be said about the way the kids seemed to love these dances, and she’d seen more than a couple of the students who seemed to be themselves in couples. There were at least five from what she could see, of varying degrees. “You went t’ school here, Conan? What ’bout you, Mr?” She asked, looking at the man he was speaking to.​
