Dawn: I don't think that's too much of a surprise...
Vernon: Course, we got some experience with that sorta thang between both Alice and Trevor...*Chuckles* Alice is still strugglin' with admittin' she likes dance more than sports...and Trev...well, lookin' at him now no one would expect the boy to be writin' the kinda stuff he does...though I get a sneakin' suspicion once he starts goin' through puberty the dark clothes and hoofnail polish will start showin' up like with Ully's goth phase...
Yuri: Everythin' he grew out of except the hair...Ully's still got that saggy drape o' messy fur over his eye...I dunno why he thinks that looks good...
Zach: I don't think Ully 'thinks' in them sorta terms. *Chuckles*
Dawn: The overall point I'm trying to get to though is that lambs, especially in their teenage years, can sort of...well, they're figuring themselves out...so really, nothing should be too shocking...
Dorian: There's also the simple life lesson o' never judge a book by its cover.
Dawn: *Giggles* Exactly. Whether it's a phase or not remains to be seen, but Marcus seems to enjoy it for now, and it isn't hurting anyone...
Vanna: I will admit, it is quite a contrast to his classical music interests. *Vanna is bouncing Rose on her knee as the little hybrid babbles away happily* But I wasn't all that surprised upon discovering it. Marcus is sensitive, but also very passionate. And I think Punk-rock allows him to vent those passions and maybe even traumas from his past in a very visceral and cathartic way.
Zach: Sometimes y'all need to get a scream er' too out to cleanse the soul. *Chuckles*
Vanna: We're just glad it makes him happy...
Zach: And glad he ain't leanin' into the idea of becomin' a professional baseball player. *Chuckles*
Dorian: As fer the recent recording of Marcus and Aiko...I wasn't aware that Ully bein' the one to record it was the story we was goin' with now...*Flashes a judgemental glare at Zach*
Zach: H-Hey, I didn't! *Huffs* I admitted and apologized fer it...
Yuri: We know you did, so where exactly did this change to the story come from?
Zach: *Twiddling his fingers nervously* W-well...I mean...I...may have been workin' on a cover story just...in case Marcus finds out...
Audrey: *Shakes her head* Oh Zach...
Zach: What!? I can't have him know I-I mean Rose-I mean...look, it was Ully's trail cam! *Whines* It's just easier to say he was filmin' fer catsquatches and caught them by accident....iffin' it comes up I mean...
Dorian: Fer shame son...*Shakes head* Fer shame...
Zach: It would be embarassin' enough fer the boy iffin' he found out that was taped, and his family saw it fer that matter! Imagine how much that might hurt our relationship if he finds out it's my fault it got recorded in the first place!
Yuri: *Crosses his arms* He'd probably never trust you again...
Zach: *Whines*
Dorian: As much as I'm loathed to go along with this...I'll admit I don't want to take a chance of that boy losin' trust in his Pa considerin' how fragile that sorta bond might be fer him right now...so I think it's a half decent cover I suppose...provided Ully will go along with it.
Zach: Fingers crossed...*Whimper*
Dorian: That said, you pull a stunt like this again, and you ain't gonna get any backup from the rest of us. I'll see to that myself...
Zach: *Ears flatten* I told y'all, I didn't do it on purpose! I wasn't tryin' ta-!
Yuri: Would you give it a rest already?! Just keep yer head down and accept yer blame. Sweet Sawgrass! You not filmin' that boy on purpose is a harder to swallow pill than it bein' Ully accidentally doin' it.
Zach: *Crosses his arms and huffs* F-fine, fine...Ugh, where's the trust in this family...?
Yuri: *Snorts* Iffin' that ain't the pot callin' the kettle if I ever heard it...*Laughs*
