Sidestory:
Worse Than
In-Laws
by the usual gang of idiots
"Livia." Julius nodded formally to the tiny turtle. "Thank you for meeting with me. I have something important to discuss with you."
"Ohf course, Julius," she replied, just as proper and formal. "In fact, Ai have something to speak with yoo about as well."
Julius paused, a piggy frown of concern appearing on his face. "Very well," he conceded. "I suppose it's only manners to let ladies go first."
"Whai, thank you." Nervously, Livia cleared her throat in an unnecessarily fussy manner. "Well, Julius," she began carefully, "it's about yo'h girl."
"That's funny," Julius remarked, even though the look on his face belied the notion that he actually saw humor in the situation. "I wanted to speak to you about your boy." He drew himself upright, towering over the turtle. "I was going to ask that you keep him away from Rayya."
Livia's little turtle eyes went huge in amazed insult. "Keep him away from her?" she screeched. "Yoo must be joking indeed. She should be kept from him. Whai, she's going to break his po'or little heart!"
Julius snorted. "Your hulk of a charge is more likely to break my Rayya. I've seen how he looks at her." His eyes darkened. "He's going to try something on her, I just know it. And she's completely taken in by that sweet, dumb guy routine."
"And what about how she looks at him?" Livia's voice rose to operatic levels. "Like he's a piece of meat! He's just a poor innocent in all this." In her anger, the accent suspiciously disappeared. "She's going to get him into trouble. With her partying and drinking and flirting and those little outfits. Why, she's, she's just a tease!"
"You take that back, turtle," Julius growled. "She is none of those things. If anything, she's a saint to put up with that Wade. Thick as the proverbial brick, he is. My girl is far too sweet on him. She needs more. She deserves more. More than that teenage hulk."
"She's a tramp."
"He's a child."
"Easy!"
"Dumb!"
"I don't know why I bother talking to you," Julius snapped. "You're worse than he is."
"And you actually make her look like an angel," Livia retorted.
"Fine, whatever." Julius ground his teeth in aggravation and then hissed between them, "But it's agreed that you will keep your senshi away from my senshi?"
"Yes."
"Good."
"Good."
"Fine."
"Fine."
"... See you later, Livvy..."
