Cait and the God of the Sea
Cait was out in the Pacific saving a dolphin from a fisherman's net. The dolphin was one of Hope's pod and Hope's mother had come to Cait for help. Cait had made it out to the boat as fast as she could and had made it in time to rescue the dolphin.

The dolphin swam free of the net and Cait smiled.

	"He and your mom seem to make things work..." Ruth mentions as they walk along back towards the tower. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"It depends," she said as they walked. "They've done a lot of the on and off again through out the years. I think they were divorced at some point. They don't like to talk about their personal lives. At least to me." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Oh," Ruth says simply. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	young_swimmer 2010-10-11 06:24 am UTC (link)
	"Yeah," she said. "Though their issues go way back. One is that they had a son, Arthur Jr., and he died when he was an infant. They've really haven't forgiven each other." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I'm so sorry to hear it." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	young_swimmer 2010-10-11 06:35 am UTC (link)
	"Thanks," Cait said. "It explains a lot about Arthur and why he's like he is. I guess." Cait could feel the pull and call of the ocean. She pushed it back. There would plenty of time later. "What are your parents like?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"They're great. Happily married for twenty years. Mom's...probably what most people expect when they think of kindergarten teachers, in some ways. She's got a cheerful voice and she pays attention to lots of little practical everyday details all the time, you know? Dad's a little more serious, and gets into the more abstract standards a lot. But they both have a great sense of humor."

	Cait smiled. "That sounds wonderful," she said wistfully. "Sounds like a great environment to grow up in." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"It's really worked out well for the four of us." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	young_swimmer 2010-10-11 06:56 am UTC (link)
	"Four? Do you have a sibling?" she asked. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	whydowescream 2010-10-11 06:58 am UTC (link)
	"I have three sisters: Gail, Jane, and Clara. So as a family, actually, we're the six of us, seven if you count Jay." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	young_swimmer 2010-10-11 07:01 am UTC (link)
	"Wow. I can't imagine having that many siblings or people in one house. Do all get along well?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	whydowescream 2010-10-11 07:07 am UTC (link)
	"Pretty well. There's all the usual little squabbles, sure, but whoever took the book without asking or ate someone else's muffin usually owns up and apologizes pretty quickly." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	young_swimmer 2010-10-11 07:13 am UTC (link)
	"It sounds like a great way to grow up," Cait said. "It sounds like it sure beats growing up in the royal court in Atlantis. I envy you." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	whydowescream 2010-10-11 07:15 am UTC (link)
	Ruth, not being stupid, is not going to point out that most people think growing up royalty is enviable. While technically true, it's very unhelpful to Cait. "We're lucky. But you've done a lot to make something of yourself on your own. It's really impressive." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	young_swimmer 2010-10-11 07:21 am UTC (link)
	"Thanks," she said. "I'm just too stubborn to give up." Cait shrugged. "I didn't do it alone though. Ty has helped a lot." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	whydowescream 2010-10-11 07:23 am UTC (link)
	"He's a great guy." A pause. "Have he and you been handling things okay since the ... stuff... in Atlantis, if you don't mind my asking?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	young_swimmer 2010-10-11 07:27 am UTC (link)
	"He is," Cait said with a small smile. "We're good. We talked." Cait left it at that. She didn't want to go into how Ty asked her to see a shrink and get some help. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	whydowescream 2010-10-11 07:29 am UTC (link)
	"I'm glad." And Ruth will leave it at that. "So, whom do we call first as we get stuff coordinated again?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	young_swimmer 2010-10-11 07:35 am UTC (link)
	"My guess would be Jon Kent. He seems to be Mr. Organized," Cait said. "He led the last one and seemed to be good at it." (Reply to this)(Parent)
