"It's pretty great," Ade agrees. "Where'd you catch a chicken though?"

"My husband thinks he's funny. He might catch us dinner occasionally, but that's usually duck or venison. This only took hunting for a good price."

"A worthy quest nonetheless."

"You went shopping for groceries?"

"I do that sometimes."

"I'm guessing that's where the new dress came from, then?"

"If you're going to be this rude about it, I might have to return yours."

"Did I say anything, Scott?"

"No rudeness that I can see."

"Well done. You barely offended anyone, so you're starting off on the right foot."

Nom nom don't draw attention.

"It's a beautiful dress, I'm sure she meant no rudeness."

"What a nice girl. Maybe I'll give her the gift."

"Victoria, I think you've made your point. Allison, since you're just about done, could you help me get the dessert?"

"Sure."

She stands, and they disappear into the kitchen. 

Scott, no more than halfway done, blinks.

Stiles refrains from a second helping.

"Oh, do enjoy. My husband just believes in efficiency, it'll be some time before they're back." 

Ade doesn't really eat much so it's alright. She does, however, happen to have preternatural hearing.

She'll be privy to a whispered conversation, then.

"Allison, what were you trying to prove tonight?"

"Mom was here the whole time. I just wanted to have some fun."

"I thought things were going well with that girl, Lydia."

"We're not that close. We're friendly, but we can't really hang out like this. Scott and Stiles are easier."

"You understand why we're concerned, Allison."

"I'm not aunt Kate. It'll be fine, I promise. We haven't even done anything, okay?"
