Grinning a bit at their embrace, Aoife pulled her bag along tentatively as she approached, smiling up at the other man with the little line in his face. She watched carefully as they interacted, and bit her lip a bit, before grinning. This was how children were supposed to be with their parents. Aoife envied Sim for a second, before bringing her attention back to the situation at hand. Declan had introduced himself and called her girly, and automatically she picked up on the accent as she shook his hand excitedly. Her heart jumped as her vocal chords stressed against the two accents that she had, before she slid easily into her American one, no matter how strong the urge to use her native accent was. Soon enough, she’d be speaking in it anyway, if he was going to be speaking like that. She picked up her old accent whenever someone who had a similar one decided to start speaking to her.
"It's good to finally meet you face to face, Declan." She smiled brightly at him. They had been on a first-name basis ever since their last phone call. Looking a little pointedly at Simeon, she held out his bag to him and rolled her eyes.
"Thank you for leaving me with the bags. Again." She punched him in the shoulder and gathered her own things, leaving his other bag on the floor, before smiling cutely at him. "You can take it back now, I have no need for cologne and men's clothing three sizes too big." She brushed her hair from her eyes and smiled up at Declan.
"Ah... I've been here once. My... caregivers and my brother and my caregivers children were here for a bit when I was younger, they were visiting family, so Henry and I just sort of wandered around the city for a bit. I liked it back then, but I suppose it'll be better now that I actually have someone to show me around." She laughed awkwardly, and ran her fingers through her hair. Henry and her had gotten lost in the middle of downtown and had to ask a police officer to drive them back home the last time they were here.
"Maybe you can give me a tour once we get settled?" She clasped her hands behind her and teetered slowly on the heels and toes of her feet, watching Declan and Simeon quietly. She didn’t know whether Sim would want his dad to come on a tour, but it would be a good plan to get them to spend some time together, as well as for Declan to get to know her.
