Sorting Things Out (open)
Cait was at her favorite place down by the lake. There was a lot to mull over and she needed some quiet to work it all out in her head. The mansion was generally a noisy and busy place and not good for getting some quiet to think. A prank war was starting up and Cait didn't want to get caught up in it. Maybe if Corey had been here....

A new dimensionally challenged family member. It was a lot to process and a lot think about. Arthur seemed nice enough, but there were a lot of unspoken issues and history. Cait wanted to ask him more about his home world and his life, but was unsure of how to do it without upsetting him. She wanted to understand him and the situation better. He was family and she wanted to help.

She thought about asking Misha or Rachel how they dealt with dimensionally challenged siblings showing up, but she wasn't sure they'd be able to help. Different situations and Cait didn't think their siblings came with a background like Arthur's.

Cait stared out over the water as she tried to figure out what to do.

	"That's pretty cool. Tradition is pretty cool. Do you have brothers or sisters here with you, besides the new one?" he asks. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I've heard New Orleans is fun. I used to live near there, but I didn't get to see it." Cassidy says. "Do you get along with your brothers? It must be fun being the only girl, right?" Cassidy jokes. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I've only been there once. It was Corey's birthday and I didn't get much of a chance to look around." "We pick on each other and fight like siblings, but we're family. I do love and care about the two Twerps." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Sisters are special, or that's how the old adage goes." Cassidy says. He wonders what it would be like to have a brother of his own for a moment, but the thought passes. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I'd love to see you tell that to the two Twerps," Cait said with a chuckle. "They'd never believe you." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Oh, I don't have to tell them. I bet they already know. It comes installed in Guy Code." Cassidy laughs. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"That's the big one I guess. The rest is inconsequential. The only other thing I'm trying to figure out is what to do on my next date with my boyfriend." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"What about ice cream? Or a movie?" Cassidy suggests. He doesn't know anything about dating or girls, but he's pretty sure everyone likes ice cream and movies. He does, at least. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Those are good suggestions," Cait said with a smile. "I'm really new to this whole dating thing. Thankfully Aaron's a really great guy and patient." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Well, practice makes perfect." he smiles. "Have you two know each other a long time or did you meet here?" he asks. He is very interested in his new friend now. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Four or five years now," she said. "I first met him when he first came to Xavier's. We were just friends until we recently found out we liked each other." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"That's awesome." Cassidy says. "Does he get along with your brothers? Do your parents like him?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	_tsunami_ 2010-08-03 02:41 am UTC (link)
	"He gets along well with Corey. They've known each other for two years. Rufus just met him. Mom and Dad know him and think he's nice, but they just learned we're dating so I don't know if anything will change." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sound_and_fury 2010-08-03 02:51 am UTC (link)
	"Well, if he's as cool as you make him sound, then things should be fine." Cassidy nods. "Everyone at this school seems like family. They've all known each other for years and years. I wish I had friends like that." he says. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	_tsunami_ 2010-08-03 02:53 am UTC (link)
	"He is cool," Cait said as heat touched her cheeks. "Some haven't been here that long, but yes, we are family. You'll become a part of it in no time just like the other inmates." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sound_and_fury 2010-08-03 03:05 am UTC (link)
	"I like the sound of that, Cait. I hope I can learn to feel at home here." Cassidy says. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	_tsunami_ 2010-08-03 03:36 am UTC (link)
	"You will," Cait said with confidence. "You already have one friend here already." She gave him a smile. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sound_and_fury 2010-08-03 05:31 am UTC (link)
	"And a good friend she is." Cassidy says, returning the smile. "Want to have lunch together sometime?" he asks. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Cait smiled and a little heat touched her cheeks. "Thanks." "I would like that. I can show you around Salem Center. Get you more familiar with the pace." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I'm looking forward to it, especially if they've got good places for ice cream." he says. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	_tsunami_ 2010-08-04 02:05 am UTC (link)
	"Oh there are," Cait said with some amount of confidence. "There's a great little Mom and Pop place that makes their ice cream on site. It's so good." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sound_and_fury 2010-08-05 02:32 am UTC (link)
	"So, is there anything else I should know about Xavier's in the meantime?" he asks, looking at Cait's hair. Another idea comes to him just then, but he realizes he'll need some help. "How handy are you with a pair of scissors?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
