Taylor was beyond upset about what had happened, after all, she'd invited Liam and Ai out of the deepest love and affection for them (mostly Ai - Liam she barely tolerated at the most) and she had expected the family dinner to go off without a hitch, not to go off - then the Nightray's had left because apparently whilst she had raise all ten of her children she'd neglected to mention to at least one of them that we don't talk about family issues around the dinner table, and when Ru had kicked off, it had all gone down hill from there. She was going to have to beg Ai, once again, for a favour she was not even sure her son deserved. She had been ever so happy when the dinner had begun and it had fizzled all up so quickly that Taylor almost had whiplash from it all. She was not happy about it and after she had torn her son a nice new strip she had turned her attentions back to the already mostly ended dinner to try and salvage what she could of it. Jai and Elsa were still locked away somewhere in one of the rooms and she had no idea whether they were going to join them again - not that she could blame them at all. She wasn't entirely sure she wanted to sit through this dinner herself after her idiot of a child decided to speak of things he had no understanding on.
She was about to turn to Conan and ask him something else, as her children went about salvaging what they could of the rest of her work, for Corey to then turn around and announce to the entire table that he and his live in boyfriend were actually not just boyfriends anymore, they were getting married. Taylor didn't have much of a leg to stand on in the sudden urge of anger she felt, because she couldn't exactly call out her son for getting married at such a young age when by his age she already had him, but what she was upset about was that a) Ai was not here to celebrate what should have been such happy news with them, and b) this was most definitely not the time to have announced it. Taylor whipped her head around to look at the table, and immediately flicked her wand at the doors, indicating to her children that each and every single one of them should now be exiting the dining room and she held her hand to Corey's chest to let him know that he would be staying. Once the rest of the family had left, leaving she with Conan, Corey and Roxas, Taylor breathed in a very deep breath.
"Corey, darling," she said, sucking on her teeth. "I am very, very happy for you, truly I am, however, did you really think that after everything we have just gone through tonight, now was the best time to make known such an announcement?" Taylor was annoyed, she wanted to be terribly excited for something like this, she couldn't have been happier that her son was engaged, even more so that he was engaged to a decent man like Roxas (after all, she knew her son could often fall under another's persuasion and she knew Roxas would look after him the way she believed he should be looked after) but this, of all moments, did not seem appropriate. Elsa and Jai had been intending to announce their own news, she was sure, and she'd have expected that Roxas and Corey would be doing the same, she just thought that after everything had happened, they might have decided the news was better put off until they could at least send their apologies to the Nightray's formally. Ai wouldn't care how it came, but Liam was from a very formal sort of family, there were rules and expectations in place for this sort of thing. Taylor would need to follow them if she expected Liam to ever set foot in their home again.
She wondered now if he might feel slighted. After all these years, she still did not know the man well.
