How did Daniel Parker get stuck with an idiot as a family member? Who the bloody hell knew. Honestly, Dan didn’t know what kind of bullsh!t voodoo Dorian did on Jess to convince her to marry him, because really, let’s be honest, it’s not like he had really anything going for him. And the sex couldn’t be that good, Dorian gave “I can last a minute” vibes so really, what the actual fck was it? Maybe Daniel would never know the answer to that question - all he did know was DeLoughrey were… sigh family now - the only one he didn’t mind was Elodie, but that was another situation altogether since she wasn’t exactly happy about him coming to her house and giving her divorce papers for that whole Riker situation. Anyways: Dorian DeLoughrey… related to Daniel Parker…Yeah… that thought still made him shudder. Thank god those kids of his had Jess’ genes too - it really was the only saving grace in this situation. After putting the man’s own kid in his arms, Daniel had to roll his eyes at the purely idiotic question that left Dorian’s mouth. “Well, clearly I was trying to teach the kid how to tell between a good bottle of scotch and a bad bottle. At least one of you has to have taste, and my bet’s on the kid,” Dan responded with an annoyed glare.
As Dorian started saying random BS clearly directed at him even though he was talking to his kid, for a split second, Dan was distracted by the other faces in the room. Specifically yet another individual he disliked: Maverick Weston. God, why would anyone willingly choose to be friends with pure sh!t individuals who were truly wastes of space - like Weston? Dori, of course, getting the highest honor but still - Weston? Really? Who knew why Yara married him. Over the years, he and Yara had gotten back to an okay place… ever since that incident in the hospital. That didn’t mean he thought she was making a good choice in marrying Maverick Weston - the idiot. Before any crude words could leave his mouth towards the other man, however, Dan was distracted by the other idiot in the room still talking to himself. Though in response to his sentiment, the man told him that’s not how it works which was honestly upsetting. Dan really thought this superpower could do anything, and clearly, there was one thing it couldn’t get him. Props on him for trying though. In any case, the hilarity of the situation came soon afterward as Dorian cursed him out, only to be followed by Ethan saying “fck”. Suffice to say, Daniel Parker burst out laughing. Looking over to the videographer in the room, Dan smiled “Please tell me you got that,” Dan asked, making a note to send the lovely video to his cousin. Though if they missed it once, they wouldn’t miss it again because a second later, Ethan said “fck” again and Dan knew it was a word that was going to stay. “Tell me, DeLoughrey, does it take practice to be such a bloody terrible parent? I mean, I wouldn’t know because I’m spectacular but I really would love to talk to you about the steps you take to really embrace the role,” Dan questioned with a smile. “Thank god there are no more kids coming, I don’t think the world needs to be populated by any more DeLoughrey’s, especially not your kids, Dorian.”
