Dragon on the Roof (Open)

Vic was standing on top of Titan’s tower standing at the edge of the roof doing Tai Chi. He had been up there since sunrise like he was every morning. He felt it was a great way to get ready for the new day and he had been doing this since a far back as he could remember.

He went through the motions of his current sequence of Tai Chi with such slowness that at times it was hard to tell he was moving.

With all that had happened it was nice to get back into some semblance of routine though nothing could ever be truly the same again. Not that any day was every possibly the same.

	"I guess it's different on the surface. I grew up in the Atlantean court." She rolls her shoulders as she looks back towards the water suddenly feeling more relaxed. "In the court people are more.... closed off. They only show what they feel is safe to. But here? People are... Free." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	“Then I understand why people here must seem more open to you,” Vic said, “ A lot must seem different to you.” (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I enjoy it. There is more honesty. I think people hide less here. Even with secret identities," she admits with a small smile. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	“The secret identity thing is new to me Dad and his friends never really hid theirs though,” Vic said. His dad had shortened their last name for standard use but that was all. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Really?" She never really thought about her father or mother. "My parents... Well. Father just responded to what the surface dwellers called him." For everyone else it was always Your Majesty. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	“I suppose neither of our fathers had any reason to have to hid their identities,” Vic said. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Not truly." She gives him a close look. "I honestly did not expect to have that in common with anyone here." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	dragonfist 2010-11-08 01:39 am UTC (link)
	“Hadn’t really thought about what I might have in common with people here,” Vic said. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	seasiren 2010-11-08 01:43 am UTC (link)
	"Really?" She gives him a surprised look. "I would think it would be one of the first things you would do. It is.... Pleasant to know what you have in common with others." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	“I guess it might have to do with that I never really interacted with a lot of people my own age or many people in general,” Vic said thinking about it, “But it is nice to know that there are people I do have stuff in common with here.” (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	seasiren 2010-11-08 01:55 am UTC (link)
	She gives him a look. Then just giggles softly. "I even know that people here aren't so different and I was a shut in. You should try talking to the others. I.... haven't really. But I know they're good people that's why my s... Why the Princess stayed here." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	“I have talked to Cait and Iris. Cait was really nice and Iris made me sit though a Disney movie marathon,” Vic said, “The rest do seem really nice.” (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	seasiren 2010-11-08 02:06 am UTC (link)
	Ash finds herself sniffing. She misses Cait. They hadn't interacted much but Ash had really liked having a sister. "I d-don't really know Irish yet. H-Haven't felt com-comfortable talking to her. She was Cait's f-friend. Ya know?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	dragonfist 2010-11-08 02:12 am UTC (link)
	“Iris is really nice, I’m sure she would like talking to you,” Vic said noticing how she had gotten when he had mentioned Cait. “If you want we could go inside and I can make some green tea with honey and you can tell me about how you’re handling what happened to Cait.” (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	seasiren 2010-11-08 02:19 am UTC (link)
	She peaks up at him through her hair then nods. "T-Tea sounds lovely." She isn't really handling it well. She keeps getting nerved up, but that is pretty obvious. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	“Let’s head down to the kitchen,” Vic said. After getting down there Vic put a kettle of water on the stove and started looking for the green tea and honey he had picked up. “The Tea shouldn’t take too long to make.” (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	seasiren 2010-11-08 02:42 am UTC (link)
	She just agrees with a small smile. Then because it is still early and she's hungry Ash gets an apple and starts to slice it up. Somehow she always prefers apples that are sliced up. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	dragonfist 2010-11-08 02:59 am UTC (link)
	There was a hiss of steam signaling the water was ready. Vic then set up the tea and brought it over with the honey and placed a cup in front of Ash. “Here you go,” Vic said. Vic then put his cup down in front of him and put in a bunch of honey probably more than he should but he did like it sweet. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	seasiren 2010-11-08 03:09 am UTC (link)
	She decided to opt out of honey. She had apple slices after all. "Cait was my sister." She stares at the tea. "I wasn't... Sure. How I felt about that. I was proud of her, though. She was everything I wish I could've been." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	dragonfist 2010-11-08 03:15 am UTC (link)
	Vic nodded and took a sip of tea. It really reminded him of home. “What do you mean by everything you wish you could be,” Vic asked. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"She was brave. Outgoing. And she knew how to be a leader, no matter how much she did... didn't want it. I'm noth-nothing like her. I'm not v-very brave. People sca-scare me. And I don't think I'm a leader," she explains. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	dragonfist 2010-11-08 03:29 am UTC (link)
	“A brave person isn’t unafraid but rather someone who is can do what they need to do in spite of their fears,” Vic says, “and I’m sure if time you could prove to be a capable leader.” (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	seasiren 2010-11-08 03:37 am UTC (link)
	"T-That. That w-would involve people paying attention to me you realize. And I stammer. A lot." At least she is smiling about it. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	dragonfist 2010-11-08 03:49 am UTC (link)
	“Once you start getting more use to the attention I’m sure your nerves with steady and it will become just like talking to someone as normal,” Vic said noticing that she was smiling. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	seasiren 2010-11-08 03:54 am UTC (link)
	"Possibly." She shrugs and tests the tea to see if it cooled enough for drinking. "W-won't count on it yet though. People are.... Complicated." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
