Weekend Away
Roy's checked the brakes, and the tires, and the spare tire on the vehicle. He made sure all the packs had basic medical kits, that the tents were really good tents, and the flashlights were all new, with batteries to spare. He's made Lian go over the lists of essentials twice, and he's lost count of how many times he's lectured her about being in charge, and the responsibility that goes with it.

Because it's making him feel like Ollie, he'll be done now. Really. There's no more he could possibly check with her.

"You have the numbers to all the local ranger stations and the hospital, right?"

	"And you're still responsible for his daughter on this trip, and a lot of other people's kids. You're the adult." Wait, he's doing it again. He sighs and smiles. "Let me handle the good doctor. You worry about the kids." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"And remember," Dr. Zukov says, exiting the tower with his daughter beside him, "You'll encounter many auras you've never been exposed to before. Strange ... mesmerizing, even. Just, uh ... ju-j-just remember that the bears aren't friendly, alright?"

She's barely been out of range of his own supernatural senses since the day they killed his wife, and tried to kill them too. Caleb is overwhelmed with how nervous the prospect of this trip makes him, but she can't live her life if she's forever bound to the house, now can she?"

"And if anything goes wrong, Lian Harper here has all the emergency information, the radios, the medical supplies..."

	Jeannie is way too excited to hear her father. She lacks the superspeed to vibrate, but the enthusiasm is there. She nods along just so he thinks she's listening. A little picture pops up next to her of a small child in a carseat, and she casts a big, red "X" over it. Kissing her father's cheek, she breaks off to load her bag in the van.

	Caleb crosses his arm and stands there, quietly watching his daughter. He isn't cross with her in the slightest, but his own anxiety is a match for her enthusiasm. "It gets easier, I hope?" He inquires towards Roy. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"What, are you kidding?" Roy chuckles. "They'll be fine. Jeannie's in good hands, trust me." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"If I didn't, she wouldn't be going." He snaps in recognition of a lost thought. "I need to run back inside," he says. "I left the silver bullets on the table." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Roy catches him with a gentle hand on the shoulder. "Breathe." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Father." Jeannie's voice is low and thin. She doesn't speak much, but her eyes say it all. Lycanthropes, really. Her pack now loaded, it is time to go. She walks back to give her father a winning smile and a hug. A little halo appears over her head and she holds up three fingers-- 3 days. She's back to near-vibrating excitement as she loads herself in the van. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

He wants to protest. It never hurts to be prepared. After all, who would have expected a hell assassin, a damned soul, and two disgusting excuses for human beings to kick in the front door one afternoon?

Instead of protesting, he just nods, and hugs her back.

"She'll be fine," he says, turning to Roy momentarily before heading back into the tower. "It's just a camping trip. Most of them have been through far worse."
