Getting Ready For School (open)
School shopping with a very opinionated five-year-old was an experience Sydney would like to forget, mutant power aside. It had been a constant battle for the past three hours. Zoey loved being out and loved going shopping, it was just her taste in clothes. Everything the child picked out had been black. It wasn't any place strange where she picked up her taste in fashion, but did everything have to be black?

It just made school shopping VERY difficult.

In the end most of Zoey's clothes were black, but Syd had managed to get the child to agree on some clothes with other colors in them.

Syd sighed as the front door closed behind her. She dropped the numerous bags she carried in the foyer. First something cold to drink, then she'd come back and grab the bags to put the clothes away. This year Syd had bought her at least double what they had bought last year. It was nice to have a good paying job and to be able to provide for her daughter. Zoey's birthday was in a week and Syd would be able to make it the best birthday of Zoey's life. She just had to find time to go shopping without Zoey.

She made her way into the kitchen in search of that cold drink.

	Fairly typically, Halbjorn is in the kitchen, going through the refrigerator, picking out meats and cheeses, apparently to go with two loaves of french bread already sliced open. "Ahh, greetings Sydney. Tis good thou hast returned." (Reply to this)(Thread)

	"Hello, Halbjorn. I'm glad to be back. I wouldn't recommend shopping with a very opinionated five year old, almost six year old, to anyone." She grabbed a glass from a cabinet and made her way over to the fridge. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	That gets a curious look. "Why wert thou shopping with Zoey? Surely she hast little to contribute to such errands yet. She couldst carry barely anything." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Syd grabbed the pitcher if iced tea out of the fridge and filled her glass. "School is starting very soon and Zoey needed new clothes. I swear she grew an inch in the past month alone." Sydney sighed and returned the pitcher to the fridge. "She wanted all her clothes to be black." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Realizing how little time he has to help prevent disaster, after his conversation with Syd, and upon completing his sandwiches, Halbjorn goes looking for Zoey. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	Zoey was on the back lawn playing fetch with Zelbar. Though it was more like Zoey throwing the ball, Zelbar chasing after it and then Zoey chasing after Zelbar to get the ball. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Zoey, when thou hast some time, I must needs speak with thee on most important matters. I understand thou'rt to start school again soon." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Halbjorn!" she squealed and stopped chasing Zelbar to run up to him. The dog ran up to him as well. "I am. First grade. I have to go all day now." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Aye, so I hath heard. And I understand that thy mother hast tried to prepare thee well, and thou hast Aslief to aid thee... but there art some things Aslief dost not know well. Tell me first, art thou well liked? Hast thou found difficulties with bullies?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Hello Asleif." Syd greeted the woman with with a smile. Asleif was the most distant of the group and Syd made a little extra effort to be nice. "It is, thank you. Is your day is going well?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Asleif does not smile, but simply because she rarely smiles in front of others. "That art good to hear," she replied, as she made her way to the fridge. She investigated the interior with a critical eye, before removing a tin of Pillsbury biscuits. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Can I make you something to eat? Are you looking for something in particular?" she asked. Out of the Asgardians, Aridis was the only one with a clue of what to do in a kitchen. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Asleif hid her frown by continuing to look into the fridge. Ultimately, she decided, her ignorance here was likely already exposed. Blast it all. "I... Yes," she conceded. "I hadst desired baked goods, but there seems to be little about." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	When finished with Zoey, Halbjorn has one more mission to accomplish. He goes in search of either or both of his half-sisters. This one will require some assistance. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	Aridis was training. Unusual for her at this time of day. She did stop during one of her more complicated maneuvers with her blade and greeted him. "Hail dear brother!" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Aye?" She tucks her sword away as she approaches her brother. "Speak brother and I shall do what I can." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He figured she might be out here, when the practice room was empty. "Mine sister, I hath been seeking thee. Myself and Aridis need thine aid." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Well met, brother," she said but did not pause in her task. Talking can be done while doing chores. "What ist the boon thou seek?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
