Luckily Haruo was able to be appeased by River or Tatsuyoshi's life could have very well been in peril. As it was the next morning, Yasunobu decided to make a lovely racket by playing the drums. And well...after breakfast, River decided to make sure that Haruo's mind was on other things.
Let's just say that she had her ways and means of doing that...keeping her husband's attention on her.
By that time, he'd already pretty much forgotten about what he was ticked off about. So he went ahead and made some dinner. Whatever it had been that had annoyed him hadn't probably been all that much of a problem. If it had been, he probably would have remembered it. Either that or he was getting old and forgetful...just like the Watcher.
It appeared as though Tatsuyoshi and Brianna were having quite the animated conversation while eating deep-fried cheese sticks. Evidently they were as enamored of the conversation as they were with the food that they were eating. Haruo had a slight fleeting reminder of what it was that he was annoyed about yesterday but that fleeting thought didn't even stick around. Between the time he had stuck the food in the oven, watched it...and pulled it out...that thought had vanished like it hadn't been there in the first place. Lucky for Tatsuyoshi, though.
As Brianna and Tatsuyoshi took care of the dishes, they flirted with each other.
Then suddenly, Tatsuyoshi...got down on one knee...pulled out a felt covered box and opened it to show Brianna. Bri gasped in surprise, nodding yes...to his silent query...and he extended the box so that she could see the ring more clearly. Dam, they're fast...
...and so the two were betrothed. Haruo was upstairs before the two had even came into the kitchen so...he didn't even know about it.
Bri and Tatsuyoshi couldn't keep their hands off each other.
Luckily though...Braden put the fear of the Watcher into Tatsuyoshi by clearing his throat right behind Brianna.
"Hurt my sis...and I'll set you up as my qualifying range target. Understand?" Braden growled ominously as the blood drained out of Tatsuyoshi's face as he nodded his understanding of the situation. Her brother was just as scary.
"...and I'll enjoy EVERY single second of it... too." Braden gave him a crazy psychopathic grin (all feigned; but Tatsuyoshi didn't know that).
"Stop it!" Brianna growled back at him. "You're scaring him."
"Just being the big brother, sis...and making sure he toes the line. You don't want Dad to have a talk with him, do you?"
"Oh...hell no..."
