Family Reunion (open to Atlanteans)
Arthur walked through the ruins of Poseidonis. The jewel of Atlantis lay mostly in ruins and was now floating on the surface of the ocean. Her sister city of Tritonis was in ruins on the ocean floor. Arthur's kingdom was in ruins, but the people were alive. They would rebuild and Atlantis would flourish again. Arthur would spend the rest of his life making sure of that.

He looked around at the ruins of the city and the people moving about. Arthur already had the council on his back for a meeting, but he told them it could wait. He had to make sure his people were provided for first. A good majority of the newly resurrected citizens had been evacuated to Cerdia, but even Cerdia couldn't hold all of the citizens of Poseidonis. Personnel essential to rebuilding were here now and ready to get started.

Arthur looked over at Mera and smiled. No matter what happened they'd get through it together. His gaze wandered and fell on Ash. Arthur had heard she had assumed the throne and with Garth's help led the surviving people of Atlantis to safety in a remote area away from the two ruined cities. When word that the dead had been restored to life, Garth and Ash led the people back to Poseidonis and they had just arrived.

Mera. Garth. Dolphin. Cerdian. Ash. Just one person was missing from his family. Cait. Thoughts of his daughter added some weight to his shoulders. He had to find her and see if she had been brought back. He couldn't imagine having to go through the rest of his life without her in it.

"The council will never accept a surface dweller for the husband of the princess," Arthur told him. "Garth, had Ash not been here, Atlantis would have followed you without hesitation. There will be no objections to Cerdian marrying Caitria."

"I know they think of each other as siblings, but they both have duties to their people and I believe they would carry out those duties."

Garth did /not/ like where this was going. Caitria would be angry and Cerdian would not be happy with him for bargaining away his future.

Dolphin would be overjoyed.

Everyone had to make sacrifices for the kingdom, especially those of the nobility. This was the way of things; Garth's personal views on the matter were of no concern.

"How and when do you wish to tell them?" he asks, simply looking out at the ruins of the city.

"I suggest you do so where items are either too heavy to lift or bolted down and not in the presence of Caitria's lover." Garth advises.

	"In the middle of a desert?" Arthur half joked. His face visibly darkened at the mention of Caitria's lover. Arthur did not want to think his daughter was sleeping with That Boy. Or any boy for that matter. "Soon," he said. "We should tell them soon." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Garth notes the look on Arthur's face and goes silent. He shouldn't have said that. "The sooner the better. The longer you wait, the worse it will be. Though...I suggest we allow them to have today." Garth says. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Arthur nodded. "Yes, they can have today. Tomorrow we will tell them." Arthur looked at Cait. He would enjoy today and enjoy having his daughter not mad him. Tomorrow that would change. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Garth simply hoped his son would understand. He would ask Dolphin to talk to him, too. They have always been close. (Reply to this)(Parent)
