He was stroking the head of a golden retriever.
The retriever yapped.

[i]Ah, his second favourite kind... The Exo started smiling again as he pet the dog, kind eyes focused on it as he gently scratched and stroked the adorable thing.[/i]

Mason sighed, "If anyone wants to express thanks for anything, please do so now."
-
[i]Shade cleared his mechanical throat, his attention finally leaving the dog. He folded his hands together, not really in prayer but just out of comfort.[/i] "I'm thankful for my Ghost, my Light, and the chance to share this meal with y'all."

Sarah smiled, "I am thankful for my Ghost, Lunar, my family, and my friends." Mia sighed, "I am thankful for my Ghost, Lush, my rifles, and the they weren't stolen," she said, glancing at Shade, "And for my sister, and my father. And for the fact he hasn't made a Dad Joke." "You better not have jinxed us, Mia," Sarah muttered. Mason decided, "I'm thankful for Topaz, for my girls, and this meal."

[i]Ooooh... the Exo saw a chance, his eyes lighting up with devious intent, his fingers intertwining. He cleared his throat again, lightly speaking up with a tentative voice, his gaze focused on his hands as he set his meme power into overdrive.[/i] "I'm thankful of the sidewalks for always keeping me off the streets," [i]He spoke with a grin, his eyes darting over Mia, Mason, and Sarah all, only to come resting back on Mia. The sly bаstаrd had seen his chance and had taken it with stride.[/i]

The twin sisters, groaned, "No... not a Dad joke..." Mason sighed, "Only I can make those."

[i]If metal was even a bit more expressive, the Exo would've had a big, wide, shit-eating grin on his face.[/i] "Aye, Sir, but the more dad jokes, the better, no?"
-
"No," Sarah and Mia said at the same time. "I can't argue with that logic, Shade," Mason said. "Can we eat? I'm hungry," Sarah begged. "Hi Hungry," Mason said. "Sarah you made a mistake," Mia whispered. "I'm Dad," Mason finished.

[i]A mechanical, robotic chuckle came from the speakers in Shade's mouth, his hands eagerly clapping together just ones, fingers intertwining after. He smirked, nodding towards Mason, clearly pleased with the man and his amazing, legendary dad joke.[/i] "Yeah, y'all eat," [i]He agreed with another nod, clearly not planning on eating himself because, well... he was an Exo, and therefore couldn't eat -- probably.[/i]
