Cold Air (open)
Kalypso took a deep breath in and slowly let it out. Cold air was always good for clearing the head and the polluted air from lungs. Kalypso hovered far above New York, high enough that the city was just a speck of light in the dark. Mom had said the cold thing was a racial trait of theirs. Apparently Eternals liked high cold places and Kalypso appeared to be no exception.

She took another deep breath and closed her eyes. Everything was so peaceful up here. The troubles and cares withered away in the cold.

The summer had been a busy one. Mom's business was really taking off and Kal had been pressed into slave labor for much of the summer. Not that she minded much. She'd do anything for her mother. It had always been the two of them versus everyone else. Though now it was Mom, Kal and Jack against everyone else.

She smiled at the thought of Jack. The man had become such a huge part of Kal's life and she loved him beyond words. It was even worth the few bouts of interference from her mother. Mom hadn't even tried to move Kal back in with Jack again. Which Kal was very thankful for.

Kalypso looked up at dark sky above and at the stars. She smiled and started going up.

	"I want to go, but I don't want to surprise him and drop a daughter on him all of a sudden. I'll eventually meet him. What's the theme...no hurry." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"You're going to surprise him either way. He'll cope. You're right though, no hurry. Just make sure its not like space. There's no rush, but there's also no reason to keep chickening out." he answers in a lighter tone, his own words used against him. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I know, but I'd rather not just drop in all of a sudden and say 'Hi Dad'." She shrugged. "Ideally I'd like to have Mom talk to him first and have her tell him about me. But knowing my mother that will never happen." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	cosmic_son 2009-09-01 07:45 pm UTC (link)
	"No, it probably won't, but you can ask, or I can track her down and see if she's talked to him since. Or I could drop by Titan to talk to other folks, and mention your name so it'd get to him - he'd probably come streaking back to Earth to talk to your Mom. Its not like I'm an unknown out that way."

	"I appreciate the offer, but I think I'm just going to get on my mother's case about. I'll make her act like an adult for a change and do the right thing." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Good luck with that. Let me know if I can help in any way, and the offer will remain open for a ride out to Titan. If you've never done the space warp thing, its quite an experience the first time." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Thanks. I will." She smiled. "Some day I'd like to try the space warp thing. Sounds interesting." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"You'll get a chance, when you're ready to take a longer trip. Its a waste for short jaunts, like Mars... have to get way out of planetary gravity, make sure not to come back in too close... but it means that a lot of the distant empires don't take a lot longer to get to than in system trips. I'm not sure how skilled you are with flight... you might well be able to generate them on your own."

	"I still wobble when flying," she admitted. "I've never had a reason to try. The most I've done is teleport myself and Jack to Olympia." It made her wonder if it was possible to teleport to Titan. Not that she wanted to try. Teleporting was so unpleasant. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He shares her distaste for teleporting. Even the mention is met with a slightly sour look. "Probably best not to try warping yet then, but I can always carry you." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Maybe you can teach me when I'm ready for it. Ready to head back? I have a date tonight." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	cosmic_son 2009-09-01 10:31 pm UTC (link)
	"Sure, no problem. You want to try re-entry on your own, or want a hand still? And you too have fun. I'm probably going to get back to work. Or maybe head back up once you're returned." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	notinplainsight 2009-09-01 10:36 pm UTC (link)
	"Thanks. I can handle re-entry. You can stay up here if you want. I'm a big girl and can handle it." She grinned. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	cosmic_son 2009-09-01 10:45 pm UTC (link)
	"I think I will, for a bit, anyway. I almost envy you the date tonight. Take care, and good luck... and remember, when heading down, take it slow." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"You can start dating you know, but I don't think your mother would like it much. Jack and I are just going to hang out and watch some movies tonight. Thanks, Iason." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Oh, I know I could. And I may ask Eliza out some night soon. Long as its casual, mom would be thrilled. Guess we'll see. Take care." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Moving from one sister to the other?" she asked with a smirk. "Take care of yourself, cousin." Kal started her decent toward Earth. (Reply to this)(Parent)
