Things We Leave Behind (open to Titans)
It wasn't exactly the sort of thing Dolphin enjoyed doing, or ever wanted to do, but someone had to gather up Caitria's belongings and give them to Arthur. The Titans wouldn't keep her things forever and Dolphin didn't want to see them get thrown out. They were what was left of Princess Little Fish as Cerdian liked to call Cait.

Arthur was in no shape to do it. To say that Dolphin was worried about her long time friend, her king and the man who was once a lover, was an understatement. Arthur had lost his son, his wife and his daughter and looked like a man about to fall into the abyss. Dolphin knew that if given the chance Arthur would follow them into the grave.

Dolphin placed the last of the books in one of the three boxes. Cait hadn't been one to have many possessions and all of hers from her time on the surface had fit into three boxes. Her clothes had been bagged up and donated to Goodwill. The books and other small items would be stored until Arthur decided what to do with them. If he ever did.

Dolphin wasn't surprised to find that most of Cait's possessions were books. She was more like Arthur than the two of them cared to admit. Both loved to read and learn, which is why Dolphin understood Cait's desire to be on the surface. There was so much more to see, do and learn than in Atlantis. Arthur never understood and it caused so many problems between father and daughter.

Dolphin looked around. The room was bare and all clothes and possessions had been bagged and boxed up. Except for the one item Dolphin didn't know what to do with.

It was a statue of a dolphin playing on the waves. Dolphin had initially thought it had been made out of crystal, but when she took a closer look at it she discovered it had been made out of ice. Somehow it was not melting. The craftsmanship was exquisite and the details were amazing. It was so life like that she almost expected the thing to start moving. It was a very Cait item and Dolphin guessed it had been a gift.

Maybe one of the Titans had given it to her and would like it back to remember Cait by. Dolphin went to see who was around.

Ash peered into the room. Seeing it packed up was..... harder than she thought it would be. She hadn't thought anyone would want to do it. Not for a long time. She lowers her gaze and clears her throat.

"Thank you. For doing that. I'm not sure the others would have felt ready to do it," she begins. She has no idea where she is going with this. Not a single clue but it was a start.

"It was time," Dolphin said. "Do you know who gave Cait this dolphin statue? I'd like to find out and see if they would like it to remember her by."

"I wonder if it was Ty," Ash muses out loud with a frown. "I haven't spoken to him. I... did not know if he would be comfortable around me."

She sure doesn't feel like she would be comfortable around him.

"I can't imagine Ty would be comfortable around anyone right now. From what I know they really loved each other and it's never easy losing someone you love."

"Arthur asked me to check on you while I was here and see how you were doing."

"That's..... I understand. I don't think he will be 'okay' for a very long time. He and Cait loved each other quite deeply," she says with a sad shake of her head. She knew Cait loved Ty a great deal at least, she had not truly met Ty or spoken to him one on one.

"I'm doing okay. I... find I am stammering less around everyone here." She gives an embarrassed smile. "I've pretty much always had a stutter. It seems to be going away."

But she still doesn't quite feel like she fits in.

Dolphin nodded. "I wish Arthur could have seen how much Cait cared for Ty and supported it. But Arthur is Arthur."

"I'm glad to hear you're settling in and doing well. Arthur will be glad to hear it as well."

Dolphin offered her a smile. "If you ever need anything, don't hesitate to ask."

"I... honestly can't picture Daddy... I. I mean Arthur being okay with any of his children dating." She blushes because it was hard to not think of Arthur as Daddy.

"I.... Admit I have a hard time asking for help. But I am getting help in the areas I need," she offers up that tid bit. "I'm working on my skills as a mage. I want to be able to help people."

"Arthur needed to realize that Cait was no longer a little girl."

Dolphin nodded. "There are a lot of people who will be happy to help. Me included. Just let me know if you need anything."
