The Princess and the Ice Dragon (Christmas Day)
Despite growing up not celebrating Christmas it had become one of Cait's favorite surface holidays. It wasn't because of the presents, though it was nice getting things, but it was because of the special tradition she had with Ty. They spent the morning exchanging gifts with the Titans and then the afternoon was theirs.

Ty made it snow outside as always and Cait formed an ice dragon. It was time for her knight to save the princess from the ice dragon.

	"Whenever you want," Cait said. "As far as I'm concerned I've already received my presents." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Alright, since it applies - and we do this fairly often, I signed us up for one of those movie services. Everything is all hooked up, just need the new remote to access it." he replies, fetching her her present - a remote with a bow on it. "So we're not limited to the collection anymore."

	Cait smiled and kissed him. "Thank you. Of course you know this just means many movie nights curled up on the couch, right?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Mine too. Good thing we have that in common. What did you get on the pizza?" Cait loved anything on pizza and really didn't care, but she was curious. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He returns the kiss, and moves to the couch. "I'll pop out to get the pizza when its ready. We can pause the movie. So, with almost anything open, what do you want for the second movie?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"I don't see him as nearly as much as I used to," Cait said. "He is my oldest and closest friend."

Cait tilted her head. "Did you have any close friends when you were a kid?" Usually Cait didn't ask questions about when he was a kid, but it just struck her that he never mentioned any close childhood friends. Cait couldn't imagine a life where she wasn't best friends with Cerdian.

	He shakes his head. "Not... really. Mom was always so worried the Society would come after her, or me. Or Ivo. Or all sorts of people. I also wasn't a very social kid anyway." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	young_swimmer 2013-01-06 01:40 am UTC (link)
	"I'm sorry," she said. "I shouldn't have pried." She was also sorry he didn't have a childhood best friend. Cerdian was like a brother to her and she had been closer to him than she had her own half-brother and her sister for that matter. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Its not prying, love, and its ok. Just not something I think about very often or anything. A lot of early childhood was pretty much spent with mom looking over her shoulder for the Society." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Well, I mean, obviously its unusual, but its not a big secret. And I don't intend to hide these things from you or anything. I just never really had much in the way of close friends. A few friends, sure, but no one close enough to have kept in touch with." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	young_swimmer 2013-01-06 02:23 am UTC (link)
	"I only had Cerdian and the fish of course." Cait shrugged. "I don't think you're hiding anything, but I noticed you don't talk much about the time before we met." A pause. "That's okay though. You don't have to if you don't want to." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"You never asked much, so it didn't come up a lot. Mom moved us around a lot for a while. She tried to make sure I had a childhood... but first priority was definitely keeping us safe." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I try to not ask questions," she admitted. One could learn just as much by keeping quiet and watching. Mother had taught her that. "I can understand that. Part of my issues with Arthur that a lot was done or prevented in the name of safety. Losing AJ had a big impact on him." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
