Yellowstone - John Duttons daughter

No kindness for the coward

"Is there, uh... specific seating, or... ?" Rip trailed off as everyone walked into the dining room for dinner, Rip, Beth and Carter had moved back into the main house.

"Wherever you want." John reassured, "Carter, you grab a seat right here."

Tessa new she was going to be kicked out her set next to Beth, so Rip could sit next to her so the girl sat besides Carter.

"You sit next to me, baby." Sure enough Beth patted the set where Tessa would normally sit.

"Okay." Rip nods walking to the seat, pulling his hat off his head, "Sir?" He asked

"On the table's fine." John tells him, "It looks formal, Rip. But it's not. It's just supper.

"Here." Beth handed over bowl of salad to Rip.

"There's fruit in the salad." Rip muttered, "I don't want that. Yeah, I'm all right."

"It's good for the prostate. I have Gator make it for Daddy." Beth tried, "No?" Rip shakes his head, "Doctor says he needs to eat fruit with every meal."

"Yes, it is good for the prostate. Lots of things are good for the prostate." John says taking the salad bowl and placing some on his plate, "We just don't talk about them at the dinner table.

"You know, there's this holistic doctor at the Deerfield Club." Beth continued, "He specializes in... in Tantric healing. Now that, that is good for the prostate."

"Tantric, what's that?" Rip asked

"Don't encourage her." John tries

"It focuses on the erogenous zones." Beth goes on

"E-what?" Rip questioned, "Erogenous zones?"

"Areolas, vulva, phallus, sphincter." Beth explained

"Is that Latin?" Carter asked confused

"And you've done this?" Rip asks

"You're just pouring gas on the fire, Rip." Tessa attempts to shut him up, "Just dumping it right on the damn fire."

"I love it, but I don't think it's for you, baby." Beth adds, "I think you're wound a little tight. But it is a good idea for you, Daddy. And he is good. He made my knees wobble for a fucking week."

"Jesus Christ." John muttered

"He recommends that you see him monthly, but after my first session with him, I was like, a month? I'm seeing your ass tomorrow."

"Are we still talking about the salad?" Asked Carter cluelessly.

"No, Carter. We're well past salad." Tessa shakes her head.

"Can I have some?" He asked

"Have all you want." John handed the bowl over to him.

"That's good." Beth nods, "Start young. Keep those pipes clean."

"This is every meal, Rip." John tells him, "This is where she gets her revenge."

"Revenge?" Beth chuckled, "How is me trying to prevent you from getting prostate cancer revenge?"

"Revenge for what?" Carter asked

"I don't know." John sighed, "I cannot figure it out."

"Why don't you just ask her?" Carter stated the obvious.

"Why don't you ask me, Daddy?" Beth turned to face him. "Ask me how me being the only one making conversation at this table is somehow vengeful.

"Well it's a bit hard to make conversation when no one can get a word in." Tessa states
