Alone time
One thing about living with so many people that Cait didn't like was that there was always someone around. It felt like it had been ages since she had some quiet time alone with Ty. Every time she tried to spend some time alone with Ty, someone showed up. It was frustrating to say the least.

Back in their apartment it had been just the two of them and quiet alone time was in abundance. They could sit for hours and play chess and never see another living soul. They could read book after book or just talk quietly to each other and no one would interrupt.

Cait appreciated having a place to live that wasn't Atlantis, but she did wish that on occasion not so many people were around. It felt like she was living in the royal palace in Poseidonis again.

Determined to spend some alone time with her boyfriend and keeping a promise to let him see her in a bikini, Cait went looking for him. A nice relaxing swim in the Pacific would do nicely.

	"Only when it comes to dolphins, which you've always been pretty predictable with. I'm ok with that though." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Cait blushed and bowed her head. "I can't help it. Some were my closest friends when I was younger." Princess Caitria didn't have many friends her age, so dolphins filled in just nicely. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I'm not sorry, just a little embarrassed about my obsession." The pink dolphin was still out there. One day she would get the chance to meet it. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Nothing to be embarassed about, dolphins are a good thing. And we can always go meet your favorite dolphin any time you like, you know." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	She eyed him. "Are you reading my mind?" On the distance dark shapes could be seen breaking the surface. Cait smiled. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Not intentionally, but ever since you contacted me telepathically, I pick up on your surface thoughts sometimes, like when I was looking for the dolphins. And, of course, the pink Dolphin is one of your favorite topics." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Oh," she said. She loved Ty, but wasn't totally comfortable with someone reading her thoughts. Even surface ones. She kissed his cheek. "It is and I want to meet him or her. Maybe some day." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"We can do that whenever you like, you know." he replies, picking up on the concern in her face and voice. "Its not a constant thing, when I was scanning for the dolphins, I picked up you too. Your brain patterns are similar to some of the higher aquatic life forms in some ways. I try to be very careful with my telepathy. I'm sorry." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"You don't need to be sorry," she assured him. "It was an accident and not your fault. It was my fault for linking with you in the first place." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I know, I just feel bad. I don't like making you uncomfortable, but getting proper finesse with all these powers is tricky, even aside from the big control issue. Some days I still just feel like the best thing for everyone would be if I disappeared into deep space for a couple years to practice where I can't hurt anyone." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	young_swimmer 2009-12-11 08:51 pm UTC (link)
	Cait's eyes narrowed. "Don't ever, ever, say that again. You being here is the best thing for me. If we have to go somewhere else so you don't hurt anyone, then so be it. I. Will. Not. Lose. You." The water under them began to churn in response to Cait's emotions. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He reaches out to try and help calm the waters. "Cait, you're the only reason I'm still here. I love you more than I fear myself." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	young_swimmer 2009-12-11 09:00 pm UTC (link)
	"Then don't ever say that again," she said and took a deep breath. She gave him a firm kiss. "I love you too and I never want to lose you. I am always here for you and will help you keep control." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	all_powerfull 2009-12-11 09:02 pm UTC (link)
	He kisses her back deeply. "Ok, I'm sorry. I know it upsets you, I just worry. I know you're here for me." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"It was a surprise," she said. "But I'm okay with you picking up occasional thoughts." She smiled. "As long as you're the only one. Let's go for that swim." The dolphins had arrived and Cait lowered them back into the water. She was all smiles as she greeted the dolphins. (Reply to this)(Parent)
