Fathers and daughters
Mar'i needed to get away. Away from New Tamaran. Away from everything that had happened.

It had been a long time since she'd been to Earth, or seen her father, for that matter.

She'd told Alerron that she had wanted to spend some time with her father. Once she had gotten to Earth, she called Dick, asking if she could stay with him for a little while. She'd tell him what had happened to her once she got settled in.

Her bedroom in her father's apartment was still the same as it been the last time she was there, ten years ago, when she was six years old. She hadn't seen her father since she was six, before her mother's duties on New Tamaran made it hard for Mar'i to come and visit as often as she used to.

After she finished unpacking her things (and she didn't have many), Mar'i went to the kitchen to see what Dad was up to.

Dick was feeling...a bit awkward seemed the best way of completely oversimplifying the situation. So he was sublimating that into making some absolutely fantastic pancakes.

"Hey, chava," Dick sure had typed that term of endearment a lot more than he'd gotten a chance to say it in person. Wait... was it embarrassing to use a little-girl term on a grown woman? He hoped not.

	Not embarrassing to Mar'i. She smiled, sitting down on a stool at the counter. "Hi, Dad," she said. "The pancakes smell fantastic, by the way." "And thanks for letting me stay here for a little while, again." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Thank you. You're absolutely welcome here. Always." One last --admittedly over-flourished -- flip of the pancakes, and onto the plate they go. Dick sets it in front of her. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Mar'i bit eagerly into the pancakes, like she hadn't had a good meal in awhile. Well...she really hadn't. "These are great Dad," she said in-between bites. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Glad you like them." He pulls up a stool for himself. He doesn't want to ask too many questions too soon. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I forgot how good your pancakes are," she said with a grin, "Way better than Mom's. She never really got the whole cooking part down." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Dick chuckles. "But she tried her best." He searches her face just a little, concerned. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Yeah, she did. Even if she burned them every time." Mar'i finished her pancakes. "Something wrong, Dad?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	dc_parent 2010-08-13 07:37 pm UTC (link)
	"Nothing's wrong. I... I just want to be sure you're okay." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	nightstarrising 2010-08-24 02:07 am UTC (link)
	"I'm fine." Mar'i paused. "Actually, no, I'm not. Not fully, at least." (Reply to this)(Parent)
