[Hey, don't look at her! Daisy's not her goat! She just goatsits from time to time and allows her to cuddle when no one is looking once in a while, but it's not a big deal. She has no emotional attachment to this goat. Well, much. Whether it was an excuse on Noel and Serah's parts or not, Lightning did feel bad for Daisy when they brought her home and over time, she's grown to care about the little goat far more than she cares to admit, which is why she never does.
She's hell in a handbasket, though.
His question makes her pause though, and through another drawn out sip of her drink, she's hard-pressed to find a good excuse or even a witty comeback to throw the ball back in his court. She could say that she's been busy which is partly true, but she's no busier than she normally is and it shouldn't change anything. She still makes an effort to see him and the others as much as she can! More people in the house, maybe? Doesn't want to be caught in the act of holding his hand (god forbid!) or giving him a smooch? No, that wouldn't work either – one more person in the house doesn't make a lick of difference and it's not like she kissed him when they weren't alone much in the first place.
Plus, there's no real reason to lie about it, and Lightning doesn't want to lie to him. So, she swirls the neck of her bottle between her fingers, a nervous laugh covering up a sigh.]

So, your dad's here... met him last week.
[There it is!]
