Dinner with Ty's Mom
Don't be nervous Cait told Ty (and herself) and reassuringly squeezed his hand as they entered the restaurant. Cait was a little nervous, but she had to push it back and be Ty's anchor. She reminded herself it wasn't as bad as court functions in Atlantis. Those were horrible and unbearable. She knew Ty's mom wasn't horrible and time with her wouldn't be unbearable.

It could always be worse, she told herself.

She put on a smile and walked in with Ty.

	"I'm sure other travel arrangements can be made," Deb said with a smile. "I wouldn't want you to be uncomfortable." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Not a problem, I can teleport. I just usually don't, since I prefer flying." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Not that I like teleporting any better, but I threw up on Batman my first time in a plane. I guess I'm just too used to being in the water than the air." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Deb laughed. "I'm sorry, Cait." But the look on Batman's face was fun to imagine. "So tell me Cait, are you thinking of going to school at all?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"It is... though personally, I kind of prefer to avoid Batman." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Me? Oh goodness no. I've never been to school. I had a private education." It was true sort of. She had a tutor in Atlantis and then her mother. Grandfather encouraged reading and discussion. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Is he really that bad?" "So your parents homeschooled you, then?" Deb said, "That doesn't mean that you still can't go to college." She wasn't trying to force anything on Cait, though a higher level of education was never a bad thing to have. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Yeah, he's... bad." Ty agrees. "Not exactly her parents. And, well, she might be able to, but that'd probably cause more problems with her family." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"He was really good about it," Cait explained. "He didn't seem that upset." "I had private tutors for awhile, then my mother and grandfather took over my education." Cait shrugged. "It's hard to say what the reactions would be. I'm sure Mother would encourage it. Father...yeah." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"You don't really get along with your parents, Cait?" Deb said, a slightly concerned look on her face. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Its complicated. Her mom is wonderful. Her dad... doesn't like me much, and... well, don't know how much Cait wants to go into it." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Arthur can be difficult on the best of days," Cait said. "He wants to keep me safe and see me accept my responsibilities. Unfortunately I'm stubborn like him, so we kind of clash on things." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	dc_parent 2010-09-12 11:09 pm UTC (link)
	Deb nodded. "You don't have to talk about it, if you don't want to. I don't want to pry." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"She's Aquaman's daughter, mom. Princess of Atlantis... but she doesn't really want to leave the surface, the Titans... yeah." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Arthur thinks I should be in Atlantis and in my proper place," she said. "And of course not have a boyfriend." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"You want one thing for you, and your father wants another." Deb said with a smile, "Child-parent disagreements are perfectly normal." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Yeah, but in the case of him wanting her to be the princess, live in Atlantis... he hasn't quite gotten to the point of demanding, but its been close a time or two." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	young_swimmer 2010-09-13 03:13 am UTC (link)
	"I don't know. The summons I received could be classified as the point of demanding," Cait said. "Okay. Enough about my issues with Arthur. Please." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Still working at the same place? And no trouble from any of your former co-workers?" Always good to make sure, and its a change of subject, anyway. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	young_swimmer 2010-09-14 06:31 pm UTC (link)
	Cait was glad for the change of subject. Atlantis and her father were not her favorite subjects at the moment. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	dc_parent 2010-09-14 10:02 pm UTC (link)
	"I am," Deb said with a nod, "And no one's given me any trouble. Besides if they did, I'd just have to kick their butts, now wouldn't I?" She grinned. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I suppose. If something does come up, you'd let me know, right?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Of course I will." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"What do you do, Ms. Darnell, if I may ask?" Ty never talked about his mom much and Cait found herself liking the woman already. She wanted to know more about her. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
