Keeping it under his hat (open)
He had really hoped his Dad would be around on his birthday. He hadn't mentioned he was turning twenty to anyone and had gone home earlier than usual. All he got was a pizza he ended up ordering and a beer he had ended up grabbing from the refrigerator.

He hadn't wanted to act out of sorts. It just sucked that his old man just really wasn't around much anymore. Other adventures and other people had become far more important than Daniel. He wasn't going to let it get him down. Except it did matter.

So here he was almost a week latter still not having breathed a word of how nuts it was really driving him. He was trying his hand at a new potion in the area he had set aside on the Hydro base for magical experiments. He was also pretty firmly trying to ignore and avoid everyone since his mood had boiled from mildly disappointed to a male variant of PMS because he still hadn't heard anything from his old man and it was starting to really bother him.

"Daddy, you know what the doctor said about you and seafood. Don't think I won't tell on you," came Vernique's voice from the next room. "Yes, I'm allowed to get in on the nagging; who gets to worry about you if not me? You should eat more tomatoes, and olives, and greens...great, now I'm really getting hungry for Mediterranean. Going to round up some Avengers. Love you, Daddy. Bye."

There was a knock on the door.

He triggers a magical stasis field by triggering a ruin on his work bench. The bubbling liquid pauses and he can no longer smell rosemary and sage in the air. That's a shame the room had smelt rather nice and it was starting to settle his grumpy mood.

He pulls open the door. His face still is set firmly with a rather perturbed look on his face but it softens just a little. Vernique is a nice girl and doesn't deserve the Sherwood scowl. "Hey. Is something up?"

	He blinks and pushes at his glasses while thinking it over. He looks back at what he had been working on. It can hold for a few hours. He can start over if need be too. "Sure. I wasn't working with anything dangerous. Just a potion I can try again if the stasis goes down." And he can always get more of what he needs from the box garden he has been keeping.

	"Great!" A pause. "Okay to ask what it is?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Clarity of thought. I'm trying to recall some information. Rosemary for remembrance and sage to keep things clear," he say as if reciting it from a nursery rhyme. "It was in one of my family's tomes. I wanted to see if it would help." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Help with what?" Vernique says as they head out. No one else seems available for lunch. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Dreams. Since I'm a mystic I put more stock in what happens in my dreams. I jeep... getting a weird feeling. Wanna see where it leads," Daniel explains while making sure he has his wallet. "Do we want to take my car? It's that little Honda that would make a mechanic cringe." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Hey guys," Dani made her way down the stairs, magazine in hand, on her way to the kitchen. "Whatcha up to?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sammyfury 2010-01-31 03:54 am UTC (link)
	It was a Four Corners meeting. Sammy came in the front door with a bag of books over her shoulder and met the other three. "What's up? (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"It's always good to follow what fits with your expertise," Vernique agrees. "If we drive, I'd rather take mine. It's the brown one." Specifically, it's a brown Mercedes, albeit 'only' a compact variety five years old. Vernique grins. "Hey. We were going to get lunch. I have this craving for Mediterranean. How about you too?"

"Well magic is what I know. And I do know the more involved in the magical community you are the more stuff seems to follow you," he says with a shrug. He thinks it's probably nothing though but he needs to be sure. He gives a sharp whistle. " Sorry. I just keep forgetting that I'm pretty much blue collar. No offense. I'm just.... My budget is tiny."

"In general or are we going for Greek," Daniel asks suddenly glad he was in slacks and a decent shirt. He had no idea how everyone else rolled but he liked to dress well for what he could afford.

Plus he just had thing about keeping his arms covered and this shirt kept his arms covered well.

	Dani snickered. "You ain't the only blue collar around here, Daniel." She gave them a smile. "I'm in. Just let me go grab my purse really quick." Dani ran back up the stairs. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sammyfury 2010-01-31 04:29 am UTC (link)
	"No kidding," Sammy echoed. "Some of us don't get a car. Or a hover car." She grinned at Daniel and Vernique. "I'll put my books up. It'll take me a second." A second later she was standing there without her bag and with a different sweater draped over her arm. "Mediterranean sounds great to me." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Yeah but I got mine for six hundred. Set me back for a while but it's fine now," Daniel says with a shrug. "Sure it's sometimes scary and smells like an old man but it's mine."

He pauses then winks at Dani. "But you're actually cute. Guys will buy you nice things someday. Me and my ugly mug and elf ears? Pfffft. There's a reason I stick to magic."

He is chuckling and trying to smile. He still isn't in a good mood but he is surrounded by pretty girls so he can't stay in a terrible mood.

	"A lot of places do Greek, Lebanese, et cetera altogether. Including the place I'm thinking, which, since I'm picking, is on me." Vernique grins at Daniel. "Aw, you think elf ears are a drawback? You're out of your mind." Vernique waits patiently for Dani. One doesn't need patience with Sammy, really. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"You haven't met the right girls then," Sammy added. She bet Dani stopped to freshen her makeup, too. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	danielle_cage 2010-01-31 05:00 am UTC (link)
	That Dani did. And change out of her sweats and t-shirt, opting for jeans and fitted red t-shirt. "Ready," she said, grinning. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	weavingwizard 2010-01-31 05:04 am UTC (link)
	He nudges a tip of one ear. "Let's just say I learned to keep my hair long enough to comb it over my ears." Kids can be mean. And teenagers are worse. "Plus I was shy up until my senior year. Never really saw them as an advantage." He tries not to oggle Dani. She's pretty though and the shirt is eye catching because of the color. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"That's funny, I always heard it was the tail," Sammy murmured as they started for the garage. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Could be the blue skin," Dani said with a smirk, following them. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Right 'cause blue goes with everything," Daniel says wiggling his eyebrows again. He is a big kidder and means nothing by what he says really. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Not too long later, at a table for four with an attentive waiter, Sammy played with her straw and ice water. "Say, how old are you now, Daniel?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"It's your birthday?" Dani cocked an eyebrow. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	weavingwizard 2010-02-03 04:28 am UTC (link)
	"It was. On the twentieth." He glances at her then sighs. Not a big deal. "I tend to not do the whole... public celebration thing. I... was going to see if my Dad wanted to do something. He left town though." He's not going to let himself go back into his overly grumpy mood again. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Ech. That's too bad. My dad sometimse can't make it in for my birthday, but those years, the card's always a doozy. Happy Belated Birthday." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sammyfury 2010-02-03 04:40 pm UTC (link)
	Sammy laughed a little. "We're a club," she said to the table. "My parents are as likely to be working on my birthday as they are every other holiday. Some years I don't see them from Thanksgiving to Memorial Day. One year, Dad sent an LMD to take me to lunch on my birthday. Mom was SO mad." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	danielle_cage 2010-02-04 02:12 am UTC (link)
	Dani bit her lip. As busy as her parents often were, they always made time for her birthday and major holidays. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	weavingwizard 2010-02-04 04:36 am UTC (link)
	Daniel's eyes go big. "An LMD just for that? No wonder she was mad." He shakes his head. "Wish it was a club that didn't need to be founded but then again I get used to not having family around. No other Sherwoods. You make other ties. Ones that are as good as blood." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sammyfury 2010-02-04 09:46 am UTC (link)
	"He already has one," Sammy said with a shrug. This was family life in the Fury household. "And I scored big with the gifts that year. He forgot to have it programmed not to buy me everything I wanted at the gun shop." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Hoo boy. And I thought I got spoiled." (Reply to this)(Parent)
