I bet you didn't know Daisy Adair could play the piano, did you?

... well, her mun didn't either, and had to check a couple of canon resources to be sure.

But, lo and behold, Daisy Adair can play the piano, and is currently doing so!

To Ben Folds' 'Lullabye.'

Goodnight, goodnight,
Sweet baby
The world has more for you
Than it seems
Goodnight, goodnight
Let the moonlight take the lid
Off your dreams

We took a small flight
In the middle of the night
From one tiny place
To another
And my parents they remain
At the shack with Lorraine
And my aunt and my grandpa
And brother ...

She's very fond of the song -- even has her eyes closed as she plays it.

So you'd probably scare her to death (again) if you poked her.

And out of Daisy's purse? A stick of black liccorice.

"There you are, then, miss Megan."

[littlest-pace.livejournal.com]

She takes it eagerly and puts it in her mouth.

A few minutes later, she remembers her manners.

"Fank you."

[reapsandcons.livejournal.com]

"You're quite welcome, my dear."

[littlest-pace.livejournal.com]

Another bright smile.

Megan's mouth might be a little... black, now.

"... do you have parents who are about to show up and yell at me for giving you candy?"

Please do not let that statement be prophetic.

She looks around guiltily, then looks back at Daisy and shakes her head. It's more hopeful than actually true.

Daisy knows that concerned look.

But just in case she's wrong, she slips Megan another stick.

Shh.

It disappears into a pocket. Just in time for Liam to show up.

"Scamming people out of sweets again, Meggie?"

[reapsandcons.livejournal.com]

Oops.

"... No, I offered. I assume you're her father, then?"

[youalleverybody.livejournal.com]

"I am. Liam Pace."

He doesn't seem too annoyed, though.

"Daisy -- Daisy Adair. I was just talking to Megan, and I asked if she liked liccorice. I promise I'm not trying to kidnap her either -- I know some parents warn heavily against the 'candy from strangers' issue."

"You wouldn't get far with her if you were. People know us here. But Megan knows she's not supposed to do that anyway."

He shoots her a stern look, and she pouts.

"Never meant to cause any trouble, I promise. I just had some extra. It was a gift," she adds, "and there's no way I'd have eaten it all."

Megan looks up at her father appealingly, and he nods.

"No trouble. But that's only this time, Meggie", he warns.
