First impressions
It had taken her awhile, but Grace had managed to locate Defenders HQ. Granted, she got lost a couple of times on the way there....but she was there now.

Her heart was beating loudly and felt like it would fall out of her stomach. Her palms were sweaty and her feet felt like blocks of cement.

She could do this. She wanted to do this for seventeen years. Well...granted, she didn't know who her father was until recently, but she'd still wanted to meet him just the same.

Inhaling and gathering her courage, Grace walked up to the door and pressed down on the buzzer.

	"What is it, Zoey?" Syd asked as she made her way to the front door. Then she spotted the young woman. "Can I help you?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Hi," Grace said, regaining some of the color in her face and managing a small smile. "I'm Grace Danvers. I'm here to see Simon Williams...is he in?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Hi. I'm Sydney. Simon's not here right now. Is there something I can help you with?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Umm...do you know when he'll be back? It's kind of important that I see him." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	team_mascot 2010-01-27 08:02 am UTC (link)
	"Are you his girlfriend?" Zoey asked. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sydney_ashcroft 2010-01-27 08:04 am UTC (link)
	"Zoey!" Syd admonished. The girl was obviously too young to be Simon's girlfriend. Right? "I'm sorry. I don't know when he'll be back, but you're welcome to come in and wait for him." Just don't mind the child asking questions and the gods running around. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Grace turned a lovely shade of tomato red. "No!" she exclaimed, "I'm....a friend of a friend." There. That sounded about right. "And that would be...nice, thanks." She managed a small smile. At least she could get to know her sister and step-mother (if that's what they were), while she waited. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Why was she so relieved at that answer? Syd shook her head. "Come in. The other residents are about and you'll probably see a few, but there's no reason to be nervous. They're mostly harmless." Most of the time. How weird was it that she had adjusted to life with gods that she thought they were mostly harmless. "Where are you coming from?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Want to see my horse?!" Zoey asked. "He's in the stables. I can take you down there." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	shessomarvelous 2010-01-27 08:13 am UTC (link)
	Grace nodded, following Sydney and Zoey in. "Boston," she said, before turning to Zoey, smiling at her. "And I'd love to, if that's okay with your Mom." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"That's quite the trip. Can I get you something to eat or drink while you wait? Sarah and I just made some fresh chocolate chip cookies." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	team_mascot 2010-01-27 08:16 am UTC (link)
	"Can I, Mom? Please? Svalin's down there right now." Zoey was practically bouncing. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I'm fine," Grace said, "I don't want to impose or anything." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sydney_ashcroft 2010-01-27 08:28 am UTC (link)
	"You wouldn't be imposing. We always have food available. There are some pretty big appetites around here." Syd lead her toward the kitchen. "In a little while, Zoey. Let Miss Danvers get comfortable." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	shessomarvelous 2010-01-27 08:29 am UTC (link)
	"I guess I could have a couple of cookies, then." She really was hungry, truthfully. "And please, call me Grace." She followed Sydney into the kitchen. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Den Mother Syd wondered if this was going to be a new recruit to the team. She lead her into the kitchen. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	team_mascot 2010-01-27 08:36 am UTC (link)
	"Sarah makes the best chocolate chip cookies. But you have to get them right when they come out of the over otherwise Ohu and Halbjorn eat them all." Zoey nodded sagely. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"You speak from experience, huh?" Grace laughed. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	team_mascot 2010-01-27 08:44 am UTC (link)
	"Yup!" Zoey confirmed. "They eat a LOT and Ohu loves sweets. We ate a lot of cookies when we saved Christmas and delivered presents for Santa." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	shessomarvelous 2010-01-27 08:46 am UTC (link)
	"Delivered presents for Santa, huh? That must have been very exciting. It sounds like you have a lot of fun around here." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	team_mascot 2010-01-27 08:52 am UTC (link)
	"We did! It was Ohu, me and Simon! We delivered presents and didn't get caught by the Anti-Santa. It was a lot of fun." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Syd busied herself with getting some cookies for Zoey and Grace. "What would you like to drink?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	shessomarvelous 2010-01-27 08:59 am UTC (link)
	"I bet it was, I only wish stuff that cool happened to me when I was your age," Grace gave her smile before turning to Sydney, "Water's fine, thank you." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Milk please," Zoey said. "All of the other kids at school are jealous. They always want to come over." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	marlow 2010-01-27 05:11 pm UTC (link)
	Marlow wandered into the kitchen in her usual vague state, smiled at Sydney and Zoey, picked up one of the delicious cookies, smiled at the new person, and wandered back out. She knew if she didn't get one early, they would be gone before dinner. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
