    Today was a momentous occasion. It would mark the first time since Petra's arrest that Nils was leaving the safe haven of Nadar. It also happened to be the day that Paisley was introducing him to her family. Both counts were making him slightly nervous, and Paisley felt bad watching him. He'd come so far in the last few months and had gotten so comfortable around her, it made her feel bad seeing him get nervous. But she knew that was exactly why she'd asked him to come with her to Earalas.

    Nils couldn't keep himself trapped in his comfort zone forever. Paisley had let him open up slowly to her, and had helped him slowly ease himself out of the estate. She knew now, since the organization had been brought down and brought to justice, that it was the right time to push him a little more.

    When her parents had asked Paisley to dinner she'd coaxed Nils into coming with her. So here they were, in Earalas.

    "It's gonna be great," Paisley said reassuringly to Nils, before kissing his cheek. They were standing on her parents' porch, where Paisley had paused to make sure Nils had a moment to breathe. "They're going to love you." And it was true--her parents already did. They were so excited when Paisley had said she had met someone, and had been so thrilled when she'd agreed to bring him. Paisley hadn't told Nils how eager they were though, because she didn't want to make him think he had to live up to any higher expectations than he already thought.

    While Paisley was under the impression that Nils was slightly nervous about going to Earalas to meet her family, the reality was that he was very nervous. Nadar had become this little bubble of safety for him, a place where nothing bad ever happened. But the rest of Amelia was still full of unknowns. Even with the organization gone, Nils still felt like he had to be on guard from the moment they reached the mainland. It was just ingrained in him.

    Meeting Paisley's family was another story altogether. Being with Paisley had always been almost like a fantasy. It was like there was no one else but the two of them sometimes, in their own little world. But recently he'd had to accept that this wasn't a fantasy and it wasn't just the two of them. In reality, Paisley had a family who was going to wonder why their daughter was seeing a man with no job, no skills and a shady past.

    She had assured him, of course, that he was worrying over nothing and that of course her family would love him and everything would be great. He wasn't so sure, but he knew he couldn't keep hiding in his fantasy world on Nadar if he wanted to have a real relationship with Paisley.

    So here they were, right outside the door to Paisley's parents house. Now that it was absolutely too late to do anything about it, Nils was of course starting to feel like maybe this wasn't such a good idea. What if they thought he wasn't good enough for their daughter? What if he screwed something up? He was slightly comforted by Paisley's last-minute reassurances, but his heart was still pounding as she knocked on the door and, after a moment, it opened.

    "Paisley!" screamed Paydon, Paisley's fourteen year old younger brother, as he whipped the door open and flung himself into her arms.

    "Holy--Jeeze, Pay, you can't just go around bulldozing into clio!" Paisley laughed, wrapping her arms around him. He pulled away like an excited puppy, eager to get a look at Nils.

    "Hi, Nils, I'm Paydon," he said, holding out his hand for his sister's boyfriend to take. He was smiling brightly, his blonde curls identical to Paisley's.

    Paisley watched over Pay's shoulder, smiling at Nils. She knew the burst of excitement had probably set him back, and she wanted to make sure she was there with him so he didn't have to be too nervous.

    As she was watching, someone came up and put their arm around Paisley's shoulders. She turned to look. "Dad!" she said happily, turning and giving her father a hug.

    "Hey baby girl," her dad said, hugging her back. "It's good to see you!" They hadn't seen each other in a few months and Bowen didn't like it. He was used to Paisley coming to visit as often as possible, or vice versa, but everyone had been busy lately.

    Nils was a little taken aback when the door opened and one of Paisley's little brothers burst out of it with a shriek. While the boy hugged Paisley, Nils took a second to collect himself and take a deep breath. He managed a smile when the brother, Paydon, introduced himself. "Hi Paydon," he said, shaking his hand.

    Next to appear was Paisley's father. Nils stood there awkwardly while he and Paisley hugged, until a third clio who must be Paisley's step-mother appeared. "You must be Nils," she said, taking his hand and patting it. "We're so excited to finally meet you. I'm Miranda and this is my husband, Bowen." She let go of Nils' hand and put her hand on Bowen's shoulder.

    "It's nice to meet you all," Nils said in the polite yet quiet voice he used when he was feeling particularly shy. So, basically anytime he was talking to someone other than Paisley and Henri.

    "It's good to meet ya, Nils," Bowen said, walking over and shaking Nils' hand as well.

    "Okay, okay," Paisley said with a light laugh as she walked over to hug her mama. "Let's get outta the doorway!"

    Nils was acting very quiet and polite, but Paisley knew he was still nervous. She walked over and slipped her hand into his. She gave it three reassuring squeezes (I and love and you) and smiled at him. He was doing great.

    "We can't wait for dinner," she said to her parents as they walked into the dining area that was separated from the kitchen by a long counter. Her parents both loved cooking, and it was something that did together every night. "I told Nils all about how spoiled I was with your cooking growing up." It didn't matter how many professional cooks she had at the estate--she still preferred a meal cooked by her family.

    "She's exaggerating, Nils," Miranda told him with a light laugh as they all took their seats at the table. Nils of course sat next to Paisley, and Paydon took the seat on the other side of them.

    To most clio, sitting down at the table for a family dinner was probably one of the most normal things to do in the entire world. Paisley was probably the only other clio at the table who understood just how unusual it was for Nils, though. The polite banter, the friendly chatter, the care-free atmosphere. It was all completely foreign to Nils, who hadn't had a family dinner in over fourteen years.

    "It looks really good," Nils said, mostly just because he felt like he should say something. Not that the food laid out on the table didn't look good. Honestly Nils wasn't picky, he'd eat pretty much anything. "Um, thank you for having me over, by the way."

    "Don't be modest," Paisley said, brushing off her mom's comment. Then, to Nils, "Just wait till you taste this--you're never going to want to eat anything ever again."

    "Anytime, Nils," Bowen said, readjusting his chair a little. "Next time maybe Paisley's other brother, Max, can join us. He made it onto the travelling team for eilemaidenball, and he had to stay at Redfern to practice this weekend." He moved a napkin to his lap. "Maybe you can come with Paisley next weekend to Ughdarras for his first match?"

    Bowen held out his hands to Miranda and Paisley who were sitting on either side of him. "Shall we pray?" he asked, looking around the table with a smile. The Sommers weren't terribly religious, but they did give thanks to the Gods of Amelia over meals and on Sundays.

    Bowen wrote:"Maybe you can come with Paisley next weekend to Ughdarras for his first match?"

    "What? Really?" Nils asked. He wasn't sure if Bowen was just offering to be polite, or if he genuinely wanted Nils there. Going to Redfern and playing sports had been one of those things Nils used to think about a lot, back when he used to imagine what a normal life would be like to escape his harsh reality. Obviously he'd never gotten to do those things, but getting to go watch a game? With Paisley? "That...that'd be great, actually," he said sincerely. "I've never seen an eilemaidenball game before."

    Bowen wrote:"Shall we pray?"

    Nils looked around the table in mild surprise as the Sommers family joined hands. He hadn't had any idea that they were religious. Paisley had never mentioned religion, anyways. He wasn't sure if he should join in or not. Would it be disrespectful, since he wasn't spiritual himself? Or would it be more disrespectful not to?

    Paisley might've noticed his dilemma, because she (sort of) answered his question by taking his hand and giving him a slight nod with a smile. So he let Paydon take his other hand and sat there feeling kind of weird while Bowen thanked the Amelian gods for their meal. It just seemed strange to him.

    Paisley felt a warmness in her chest when Nils accepted the invitation to go to Ughdarras. He even looked a little excited about it, which brought a giant smile to Paisley's face. This was great news--and it meant a lot to Paisley that Nils was trying so actively to be involved in her life.

    The little family prayed, and then started passing food around. The Sommerses made small talk as they passed the food (a delicious looking meal of spaghetti, garlic bread, and salad), asking about life in Nadar, or how school was going for Paydon. It was a normal dinner, just like every meal Paisley had shared with her family over the years. Except this time, Nils, someone she loved just as much as the other clio surrounding her, was here too. She couldn't help but realize that this was probably the first family meal Nils had had in over ten years. It was a big deal, and she was beyond happy to see how easily her family had accepted him as just another member of the family at dinner.

    "The Earalas class is just so boring. I don't even know why anyone would want to control fire when you could fly," Paydon said, answering a question Paisley had asked about school. "I don't understand why we have to take classes on all the eilemaiden if you already know what you want to do!"

    "Hey now," Bowen laughed, wiping his mouth with his napkin. "Earalas isn't so bad!" He narrowed his eyes at his son in fake irritation. He'd chosen Earalas for himself when he was seventeen and had never regretted it.

    "What did you settle as, Nils?" Paydon asked, turning to Nils and shoving his slice of garlic bread in his mouth.

    To anyone else, family small talk about work and school would probably be incredibly boring. Nils, on the other hand, was completely enthralled. Especially about school. He wondered what it would have been like, going to Redfern with Henri. Henri would have been the popular one who didn't have to try hard to get good grades, while Nils would have been the one shut up in his room all day studying. In fact, Henri had actually been less than a year away from enrolling when...well, the point was, hearing about it first hand from someone who was there now made it all the more easy to imagine.

    "Adhbhar," he said, answering Paydon's question. He had chosen Adhbhar because something about the element of earth just seemed strong to him, and he'd thought if he chose it, maybe he'd feel stronger too. Funnily enough, now he tended to use his eilemaiden to help Paisley garden, which required being very gentle.

    Paydon wrinkled his nose. "Really?" he asked, clearly unimpressed. "Max just chose Adhbhar too, but I don't know why. Why would you care about dirt that much?"

    Paisley laughed. "Some clio like working with dirt," she said with raised eyebrows. Herself included, obviously. "Who needs to fly when you have whole jungles to explore and creations to make?" Somehow she and Nils had just fit together perfectly--Nadar and Adhbhar were sibling eilemaidens when it came to working in the gardens, and they'd developed a steady rhythm while working together.

    "Crazy clio," Paydon teased. "And when I settle I'll be able to just fly over your jungles and not have to cut myself all up going through them. I'll save lotsa time." He slurped up some spaghetti, getting sauce all the way over on his cheek.

    "Well, Mr. Saving Time," Bowen said with a shake of his head, "maybe you should focus on learning how to eat more neatly before you start practicing your flying." He winked across the table, a smile on his face.

    "Paydon," Miranda said, half-amused and half-exasperated, when her son voiced his distaste for their guest's eilemaiden. She shook her head. "The point of exploring a jungle is to take your time and enjoy it, not fly over it as fast as clioly possible!" Of course she knew that Paydon was never the type to just take his time to enjoy things. He was always on the move, jumping from one activity to the next. She'd hardly been able to keep up with him when he and Max were little.

    Nils was glad the rest of the family had cut in so quickly, because he hadn't known how to respond at first. His knee-jerk reaction had been to take Paydon's comments personally, despite the fact that he was a kid and his tone was good-natured. But once the rest of the family started chiming in and teasing each other, he relaxed.

    "I'm glad I chose Adhbhar," he said. "I don't think I'd be as helpful to Paisley in the garden if I'd chosen Cuir."

    "Don't be silly," Paisley said, turning to look at Nils. She put a hand on his knee, under the table. "Plants don't need a specific eilemaiden--they just need someone who has patience and is caring." Nils fit that to a T. "You're an amazing gardener." Her voice was just as sincere as Nils'. He'd been an incredible pupil, and now they worked together so flawlessly. Sure, being Adhbhar helped, but everything Nils did for the plants was because of his own talents and personality. She loved that about him.

    Bowen watched his daughter and Nils and his heart softened a little. Paisley hadn't dated much in her life, and the few guys she'd been in relationships with had never been serious enough to bring home, so this was a new experience for him. But as he watched the way the two looked at each other, he suddenly felt really glad that this was who Paisley had decided on bringing. The happiness was plain on both of their faces, despite the fact that Paisley had told him and Miranda that they'd only been dating for a few months.

    Bowen may have been content to keep his happiness about their daughter's relationship to himself, but Miranda was not. "Oh, it is just too sweet how you and Paisley garden together," she said. She knew she was being the embarrassing mom, but she didn't care. "She's always been so passionate about plants and flowers, even before she settled. It's nice to see her sharing that with someone."

    Nils flushed slightly. Like Paisley herself, her family was just so unbelievably nice. He'd been so worried about meeting their expectations, and yet they just seemed so happy that Paisley was with him. They were welcoming him like he was one of the family.

    Paisley wrinkled her nose with a smile when Nils blushed. She wanted to lean over to kiss him, but her mom was already so embarrassing.

    "You guys are gross," Paydon said, taking a drink of lemonade. "Like Max and Lydia--they're always looking at each other like that. It's gross." Lydia was Max's new girlfriend. He was a popular jock, and seemed to be "in love" with a new girl every week. It made Paydon gag.

    Paisley stuck her tongue out at her brother while Bowen erupted into laughter.

    Nils even laughed a little bit along with everyone else. For nearly his entire life, he'd wished more than anything that he could someday just have a normal life. One where he sat at a dinner table with a family who loved and teased each other without a care in the world. And now he was here. He took Paisley's hand under the table and squeezed.

    "You won't think it's so gross when you find a nice, pretty girl to bring home," Miranda said to Paydon teasingly.

    "Yeah, right, Mom," Paydon said, rolling his eyes and reaching across the table for another piece of garlic bread. "Girls are lame."

    "That's not what Max told me you said when you had a crush on that girl in your math class," Paisley teased. "What was her name...? Olivia?" She winked over at Nils. "Something about you not being able to stop talking about her? I bet you had some googly eyes looking at herrrr."

    "Oh, and who is this Olivia?" Miranda asked immediately, launching into a conversation with Paydon. Well, maybe it wasn't so much a conversation as it was her dragging reluctant answers out of him while he looked increasingly mad and embarrassed.

    Nils smiled, imagining if he'd had a mom and dad at that age, if they would've teased and embarrassed him. He imagined sitting around a table with them and Henri, talking about school and girls and other mundane things. He may have zoned out a bit while conversations went on around him, because the next thing he knew Miranda was up collecting their plates and Bowen had gone into the kitchen to get dessert.

    "We asked Paisley what your favorite was, and she didn't know, so we made my favorite instead," Miranda told him with a grin as Bowen brought out an apple pie and served out slices. "I hope you like apple."

    "Thanks," Nils said quietly. "This means a lot to me...inviting me over and everything." Being nice to me. Treating me like family.

    Bowen laid a hand on Nils' shoulder as he set his piece of pie in front of him. "Don't mention it, Nils. It's obvious Paisley here is quite fond of you; it was only natural we would feel the same." He squeezed his shoulder before removing his hand and moving on to place Paisley's pie in front of her.

    Paisley's hand returned to Nils' knee under the table, where she rubbed back and forth. It meant so much to her that it seemed Nils was having a good time. She sighed, looking at him with a smile. This was what Nils deserved--a loving family, somewhere to feel safe and happy.

    "Thank you guys so much for dinner," she said, turning back to her parents who were sitting by each other at the table once again. "Maybe next time you can come over to Nadar for a few days--I'd love to show you all the new fall arrangements Nils and I have been working on around the estate." She turned to Pay, "And maybe you'd be interested too, even if is just dirt." She winked at him.

    Nils had to smile when Bowen put his hand on his shoulder. It was only natural. Not many clio had found Nils so naturally likable throughout his life, so this kind of affection still felt foreign to him. It felt wonderful. "Thanks," he said again, even though he had already said it twice. It was becoming his new 'sorry.'

    Paydon rolled his eyes at his sister. "I guess," he sighed melodramatically, although there was a smile on his face.

    "We'd love to!" Miranda replied. "How are you liking Nadar, Nils? Paisley told us you moved there pretty recently."

    Moved there. Like he'd packed his bags and taken a ferry. He hadn't wanted Paisley to tell her family too much about his past, so she must have just given them a vague, brief story. "Oh--yeah, I love it there," he said, which was the truth.

    Paisley smiled for what seemed like the millionth time that day. It wasn't lost on Bowen, whose smile reflected his daughter's. "Glad to hear it, Nils," Bowen said. "If all of Miranda's family didn't live here in Earalas, we probably would have made the move long ago. Nadar does have the best overloridian, you know."

    "Yeah, I know," Nils agreed, with half a glance in Paisley's direction. He actually didn't really know anything at all about the other overloridians, but there was no way they could be as great as Paisley. In addition to just being an amazing clio in general, she had made it possible for the criminal organization to be taken down for good.

    "Oh, stop," Paisley said modestly. Of course she ran her eilemaiden as best as she thought possible, but she wouldn't call herself the best.

    She took a bite into her pie. "Gods, this is amazing!" she said, trying to keep the spotlight off herself. "I have no idea how you guys do this." Despite being able to grow fruits and vegetables, Paisley had never mastered the talent of cooking like her parents could, even with their guidance.

    "We'll give you the recipe," Miranda offered. Even if Paisley didn't consider herself much of a cook, she did have professional chefs who could hopefully handle an apple pie recipe. She turned to Nils. "Do you cook at all?"

    "Uh, no, I've never really cooked before," Nils answered.
