Frank:"Well, I'm sure there are no shortage of those around...Common ground is good though."

Cryonix Tue Jul 26, 2011 1:24 pm

Ben: I'd go out there and mingle, Frank. I can introduce you to some people, if you like...

Jabberwocky Tue Jul 26, 2011 1:26 pm

Frank:"Sounds like a good idea. Lead the way."

Cryonix Tue Jul 26, 2011 1:28 pm

Ben: Do you think Cynthia is going to be alright?

Jabberwocky Tue Jul 26, 2011 1:33 pm

Frank:"Her and Moira have more in common then either might believe at the moment I think. I think if they stick to each other they'll enjoy this a bit...I hope..."

Hearing the news that her parents have arrived, Cynthia cringes slightly as she silently moves closer to Frank for support. Moira glances over at her.

Moira: 'Ey... you alroit?

Cynthia nervously shakes her head.

Cynthia: Not really... no....

Jabberwocky Tue Jul 26, 2011 3:08 pm

Frank silently holds Cynthia's hand, giving it a slight squeeze

Pockets Tue Jul 26, 2011 3:13 pm

Cynthia returns the slight squeeze and glances gratefully up at Frank, silently mouthing "thank you".

Jabberwocky Tue Jul 26, 2011 3:16 pm

He smiles, giving a slight nod

Cryonix Tue Jul 26, 2011 10:16 pm

Mr. and Mrs. Henshal walk into Ben's place and nods and some of the clients there. They see Ben and walk over...

Charles: Mr. Cryos. A pleasure to see you again. Your rate of return is...unbelievable. I'm very pleased.

Ben: Well, thank you very much. I...

Margret: .....C....Cynthia....?

Pockets Tue Jul 26, 2011 10:20 pm

Cynthia: M... mother.... I... ah... how have you been?

Cryonix Tue Jul 26, 2011 10:22 pm

Charles: Ben! What is the meaning of this?

Ben: She's a client.

Margret: My....baby...I....ahem....you look...well....

Pockets Tue Jul 26, 2011 10:27 pm

Cynthia tentatively moves forward a step.

Cynthia: As do you, mother.

Cryonix Tue Jul 26, 2011 10:30 pm

Margret: Wh....why did you run off, hon. I....I...

Charles: Margret! Pull yourself together.

Pockets Tue Jul 26, 2011 10:33 pm

Cynthia: After what happened with Sexton... father made it perfectly clear. Turn a blind eye and make it all seem perfect on the outside, or he has no daughter.... I'm sorry mother, but I couldn't any more....

Cryonix Tue Jul 26, 2011 10:36 pm

Margret: Cynthia....don't you understand we were trying to do what was...I just...miss you...

Charles: As I've explained to you a million times, wife...she wants to be on her own....fine. She's on her own.

Margret: I want my daughter, Charles!

Charles: ........

Pockets Tue Jul 26, 2011 10:41 pm

Cynthia suddenly runs over and hugs her mother.

Jabberwocky Tue Jul 26, 2011 10:46 pm

Frank can't help but smile as Cynthia hugs her mother for the first time in years. He glances over at Charles.

Frank:"A moment of your time, Mr.Henshal. Please, I insist."

Cryonix Tue Jul 26, 2011 10:47 pm

Charles: ...And you are?

Pockets Tue Jul 26, 2011 10:49 pm

Cynthia breaks the hug, but takes hold of her mother's hands.

Cynthia: I've met someone, mother. Someone I actually want to be with... we're getting married.

Jabberwocky Tue Jul 26, 2011 10:50 pm

Frank:"Frank Duffy. Friend of Ben's. Also co-owner of The Phoenix Lounge with him and co-owner and head bartender and manager of Breaking Kayfabe. More importantly, I'm engaged to your daughter. Now, please, allow me to fix you a stiff drink because you look like you need one and lets talk. You did come here to discuss business, did you not?"

Cryonix Tue Jul 26, 2011 10:57 pm

Charles: ....What? Marrying my daughter? My daughter IS married...

Margret: Really? Oh thank God....I hated Sexton...he came on to me...

Jabberwocky Tue Jul 26, 2011 10:59 pm

Frank:"No, your daughter was married, if you could even call it that. Married to a man who did not love her, and was caught cheating on her. THAT is the sort of man you want your daughter to be with? A man of no loyalty except to himself and his desires?"

Pockets Tue Jul 26, 2011 11:01 pm

Cynthia: You hated him?

She breathes a sigh of relief.

Cynthia: And here I thought it was him and everyone against me.

Cryonix Tue Jul 26, 2011 11:03 pm

Charles: You don't understand...Mr. Duffy....She HAD to marry Sexton...there are things...you don't know going on...

Margret: Not at all, love...not at all....
