After having known Gideon for over three years now, it was no surprise that he knew exactly where to tickle her to make her spazz. Especially since Gideon had been using tickling as a defense mechanism since they had become friends. All of the progress she had made today with his own tickle spot had been negated when he tickled her. She was not pleased, but at least now she knew a tickle spot that she could use on him. Except- she could not use it right now; she was a little distracted.

When the tickling stopped, though, she was extremely confused. Her eyes refocused into the situation at hand and that was when she saw her father who was holding a spoon. Why a spoon, she had no idea, but the bigger question was why her father was home and what he was doing in their house? He was supposed to be Ireland training for his upcoming season, not back home with a bloody spoon.

"Daddy..." she said sweetly, "What are you doing home?" And what was he doing interrupting this surprise visit from her boyfriend.

Taking in the scene at hand, Jake finally noticed that he was holding a spoon in his hand. Of all the things he could have grabbed this was the least intimidating and now he felt extremely foolish. But someone once told him that he could turn anything into a weapon and the verdict was no yet out if he had to use it or not. What was the boy doing in his house and with his daughter? It was bad enough that he knew she was dating someone. They had to shove it in his face?

He cleared his throat before curtly saying, "Gideon..." Then he turned to his daughter and cocked an eyebrow of his own, Selina. Better question... what are you doing... alone... with a boy?" He did not owe her an explanation as to why he was home. This was his house.
