"Just don't show any non-manly affection and you're fine."

"Eugh."

"I don't mean you have to be like, I don't know, all manly and rough and tough. Just. You know, don't act like you have a boner for me."

"… I mean, still eugh, but I can probably do it."

"I know I'm irresistible but I believe in you."

"I don't usually have – well, any of my acting ability tested."

"You don't need to win an Oscar merely convince my father."

"… Yeah. Okay."

Anthony's parents will arrive before Kaede's father.

It's his mother!

"Hi, darling," she greets him, smiling affectionately (but not moving to embrace him). "Shall we get your stuff? Did you have a fun time?"

"Um, yeah –" He turns to look at Kaede. "This is my mother – mom, this is Kaede."

"It's a pleasure to meet you."

"Likewise," she smiles. "Have you two been – co-counselors, or whatever they call it?"

"Yeah, we have."

"How were the kids? No… incidents?"

"… Incidents like what?"

"Oh, I don't know – kids will be kids."

She seems to be smirking.

She glances at Anthony and raises an eyebrow before looking at his mother again. "Nothing we couldn't handle."

Anthony raises an eyebrow at his mom. "Do you have something to say?"

"I wouldn't want to embarrass you."

"I am physically incapable of being embarrassed. Did he tell you or did you guess, because if you guessed that's kinda bad."

"… Guess?"

"Mom, seriously?"

"You – I just figured he had met someone else, you two seemed like – I did not I think guess what had actually happened."

"Oh no he has totally met me."
