Dinner And Conversation
Of course it had to be one of those days where Sydney was running late for everything. Zoey was late getting to school because of some issues finding her sneakers this morning. Then Syd's car had issues and wouldn't start right away. She finally got Zoey to school thirty minutes late.

Which made Syd late for her karate class. She had things to discuss with the instructors after class, which made her late for lunch with her sister. Lunch ran late which meant she was late for a conference call with Mr. Stark and the board. The universe was just out to get her today.

The one thing she was on time for was picking Zoey up from school, but then Bryn was late picking Zoey up, which made her late for dinner with Avery on top of traffic.

Syd walked into the Thai restaurant twenty minutes late.

	Syd chuckled. "Scary thing is I could probably arrange to get you one." Syd nodded. "May be a good idea. Company for you an Zoey is used to having animals around. Svalin has taught her how to train them." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Avery nods. "Then that will be an activity for our next weekend together. She can find a puppy she likes, and we'll bring it home. Do you think she'd like a puppy or a bigger dog?" he asks. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"May I suggest a rescue dog? There's enough unwanted animals out there and I'm sure Zoey will find one she loves." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Avery considers this. "You're right. There's got to be a dog or cat we can agree on. And once we're all really settled in, I'll talk to you about that tiger." he grins. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I'd love to go with you two, unless of course you just want it to be some quality time together." Syd laughed. "Next time we find a tiger cub, it's yours." Though she was still wondering exactly how they found the first one. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	word_of_law 2010-06-07 12:40 am UTC (link)
	"Oh, by all means. I'd love it if you came with us. You'll probably keep Zoey and I from getting more than one." he jokes. "Maybe, I'll just check with the zoo and see if they've got one they don't mind letting go of." he smiles. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sydney_ashcroft 2010-06-07 01:50 am UTC (link)
	"I'm looking forward to it." Syd blinked and then shook her head. "Just don't ever say anything about pet tigers out loud in front of Zoey. You will be held to getting her one if you do." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	word_of_law 2010-06-07 02:31 am UTC (link)
	"No mention of tigers. Check." he says. "Oh, what are some of Zoey's favorite toys? I'd like her to have a some of them at my place so that she can play with them." he says. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sydney_ashcroft 2010-06-07 05:12 am UTC (link)
	"No mention of anything you don't want to buy her." Syd shrugged. "You know, it's hard to say. I swear it changes from day to day. You may want to take her shopping and let her pick out a /few/ toys. It's the only way to know what she wants." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	word_of_law 2010-06-08 03:21 am UTC (link)
	"Nothing like the fickle nature of toy-buying for a six year-old girl." he jokes. "She's already so big. Soon, she'll be asking about prom dresses and other such things." Avery smiles. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sydney_ashcroft 2010-06-08 03:22 am UTC (link)
	"Tell me about it," Syd grumbled half-heartedly. "I know. Time flies with kids. Which you will find out soon enough." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	word_of_law 2010-06-08 12:53 pm UTC (link)
	"And soon I'll be giving some young man 'The Talk' and waiting on the porch with my shotgun, rocking chair and fern." he chuckles. "I don't really own a shotgun, just so you know." he says quickly. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sydney_ashcroft 2010-06-08 08:02 pm UTC (link)
	Syd had to laugh. It was just too funny picturing it. "You may have to get in line for that. There are a few godlings who would want to do the same." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	word_of_law 2010-06-10 11:04 pm UTC (link)
	"With all due respect, the line starts behind Dad." he grins. "Though, I might be willing to let Halbjorn go in my stead. That guy looks scary when he smiles so anything to help said boy understand that Zoey is to be treated like a queen is good with me." he laughs. "I'm glad she has a lot of people to count on, though." he says. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sydney_ashcroft 2010-06-10 11:18 pm UTC (link)
	"Agreed. Hal can be pretty scary just by standing there. He'd be a great deterrent for wannabe boyfriends." Syd smiled. "She does and I am too. It's like having a large extended family." Syd finished the last bite of her meal and placed her fork on her plate. "That was really good." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	word_of_law 2010-06-10 11:24 pm UTC (link)
	"It was." Avery says, finishing the last of his food as well. "What are your plans for the rest of the night?" Avery asks. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sydney_ashcroft 2010-06-10 11:43 pm UTC (link)
	"Going home and curling up with a book and a glass of wine," she answered. She pulled out her wallet and a credit card. "You?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	word_of_law 2010-06-10 11:58 pm UTC (link)
	"Going home to work on a new song. I've been playing every night, nearly until I pass out. You and Zoey picked a great gift." he says, pulling his own wallet and card. "Okay, Syd. I'd like to pay for dinner tonight. I don't have any other logic than I'm a guy, and I'd feel weird if you did." he tells her. He's not trying to be sexist, but it was how he was raised.

	sydney_ashcroft 2010-06-11 12:00 am UTC (link)
	"I'm glad. I wasn't sure about it when I bought it." She thought about it for a moment. There was no sense in starting an argument or even a heated discussion over it. "Fine, but only if I can pay the next time." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	word_of_law 2010-06-11 12:12 am UTC (link)
	"Okay, deal. I pay this time, and you pay next time. In fact, you choose the restaurant, too." he says. "I enjoy your company, Sydney. I had a great time, like usual." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sydney_ashcroft 2010-06-11 12:19 am UTC (link)
	Syd smiled. "It's a deal." She turned a little red. "Thanks. I enjoy your company as well. It's nice to have some normal once and awhile." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	word_of_law 2010-06-11 01:23 am UTC (link)
	"Or some really strange and out of this world, too." he smiles. "Or some Really Awesome, as Zoey has described before." he says, paying the tab for both of them. "Can I walk you to your car?" he asks. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sydney_ashcroft 2010-06-11 01:33 am UTC (link)
	Syd chuckled. "Something like that." "That'd be nice," she told him and stood up. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	word_of_law 2010-06-11 01:43 am UTC (link)
	Avery stands and waits for Syd to collect herself, then walks her out to her car. "Thank you for coming tonight, Sydney. Let's do this again, soon." he tells her. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sydney_ashcroft 2010-06-11 01:50 am UTC (link)
	"You're welcome and thank you for dinner." She smiled and kissed his cheek. "We will. See you soon." She climbed into her car and drove home. (Reply to this)(Parent)
