Picking up the pieces (Cerdian)
The first thing Lian had did once the Suicide Squad had gotten her safely home? Flop down on her bed. She then made calls to everyone who probably noticed that she was missing to tell them that she was fine, and needed a couple of days to herself, but people could stop over if they felt so inclined.

Though she was kind of hoping that they wouldn't. She needed some time to think about things. About what happened. Damien. Cerdian.

Thinking of Cerdian just made a huge hole in her stomach. They had damaged their relationship beyond repair, and Lian wasn't sure if they could fix things this time. She wanted to...she really did. But she wasn't sure if they could.

A couple of days after she had returned home, Lian was lying on her bed, staring up and the ceiling and still mulling over everything in her head when she heard a knock on her door.

"It's open," she called from down the hall.

It was probably Tim. He called several times, and he was probably there with J'anna. Tim would ask her to go over what happened in exact detail while J'anna went through her cupboards, asking Lian if she had any real food.

Lian sat up on her bed, pulling her bathrobe on over her pajamas. She might as well make herself decent.

	"Maybe they had to move quickly? If there was real trouble, he might not have had time." Cerdian says. "I shouldn't have brought it up." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"You're right," she said. "There probably wasn't enough time to call." "It's okay," she said. "I guess I just worry about him since...since I wasn't able to be there for him when he got shot, last time" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Lian, your dad was getting into situations like this before either of us were born. He lives his life on his terms." Cerdian says. "He's got back-up. He'll be fine." he assures her. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Cerdian nods. "You two, make sure to take care of your mother. She needs to be reminded at times to do so." Cerdian says, speaking to Lian's stomach. He'd read that babies could hear it when they were spoken to, even in the womb. Why not speak to them now? "Oh, and please convince your mother to eat something other than take-out or boxed food." he says. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Bacon is not boxed food," Lian said, smirking a little. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	violettidemage 2011-04-08 12:21 pm UTC (link)
	"Or bacon." Cerdian amends with a smirk of his own. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I eat things that are good for me. Fruits, vegetables, grains, proteins. Oh and bacon is a protein, in case you were wondering." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Why don't we agree on less bacon, then?" he asks. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Less bacon, more ice cream?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Cerdian shakes his head. "I knew you'd do that. Are you craving ice cream now?" he asks. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I was craving ice cream before I was pregnant," she said. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	violettidemage 2011-04-08 02:24 pm UTC (link)
	"Which means no place that holds ice cream is safe. Maybe I should be working on a spell to keep you in." he teases. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"It's not strength I'm underestimating. It's height and reach. And flexibility." Cerdian says. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Lian Harper. Do /not/ confuse me for some petty conjurer of tricks!" Cerdian says as his eyes glow and the walls begin to shake. Then they stop and he chuckles. "I /finally/ figured out how Gandalf did that." he grins. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
