[ By and large there isn't much that Lily wants for. Her father isn't the wealthiest man in the world, but he brings in enough income to support his daughter and more than cover his share of the joint expenses he shares with his sister. He's an almost obnoxious doting father, and lavishes attention on her whenever Lily seems to want it.
But he's still her just her dad, and sometimes it seems like she wants some time with another girl.
Jason is eternally grateful to his younger sister for stepping in to fill the role in Lily's life that her own mother vehemently refused after finding out the true nature of Lily's dad. Sometimes it weighs heavy on his heart that a child as incredible as Lily (unbiased, objective fact) would have even one person in this world who would reject her, but with an aunt like Philippa he also has all the hope that Lily doesn't even recognize the loss.
It's enough for him that he won't even sigh dramatically over the fact that he's bound to be roped into the cleanup for a party he didn't even participate in.
Instead he laughs a little (quietly) at Phil still insisting on remaining in-character despite the fact that her playmate has knocked out for the night. Tuckered out or not, Jason is still just as slow and careful with his own movements as he reaches out to gently scoop his sleeping daughter out of her aunt's arms. ]
Ahhh... so it's true that the weight of the crown is heavy. Look how tired it's made her.
