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.

	"Mine thanks," Asleif said, as she accepted the muffins. She waved her hands in quick mystic signals, causing plates, flatware, along with butter and other condiments to appear on the table. "Wouldst... thou care for one?" she asked. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"No thank you," Syd said as she grabbed the pitcher of iced tea to refill her glass. "Would you like some iced tea?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I wouldst, thank-thee," Asleif said, as she took her seat and began to butter her muffins. "Your daughter, the small mortal, she art well?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Syd fetched a glass out of a cabinet and filled it. "Zoey is doing very well," Syd said with emphasis on Zoey. Maybe one of these days Asleif will use names instead of mortal. "She was looking for you when we returned from shopping." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Asleif nodded slightly. "I believe I didst see her in the company of mine brother whence I didst come this way." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Syd nodded. "Your brother mentioned wanting to spend some time with her." Syd put the glass of iced tea down in front of Asleif. "Thank you for being so patient with her. I know she can get to me too much at times." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	The absolute barest hint of a smile could be seen pulling at the edges of Asleif's mouth. "No thanks be necessary," she said. "Thine daughter art a truly unique presence here." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"If she starts to bother you too much, please let me know. She can be quite persistent when she wants to be. Would you like anything else to eat or drink?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I shalt," Asleif replied, before shaking her head. "Nay. This art sufficient." (Reply to this)(Parent)
