Cookout
There had been an invitation for Excalibur to attend a cookout with the Defenders for Independence Day. Quinn was a Brit by birth, but he had spent half of his life in New York. He considered himself a Yankee as well as a Brit.

When it was time he teleported all from Excalibur who wanted to go to the Defenders compound. Quinn was looking forward to a day in the sun, on the beach and watching girls in bikinis with a lot of good food on hand. Not to mention Asgardian mead. It would truly be a wonderful day.

They arrived in a flash right outside the gates to the compound. It was rude to arrive inside the gates and Quinn didn't feel like fighting. He was a lover, not a fighter.

Casey was more using this as a fun excuse for some beach time. Packing had taken longer than he had thought it would since this was his first big trip with Sean. He still wasn’t sure if he had over packed or under packed but he guessed he would find out soon enough. Having had Sean for a over a month now he was feeling he was starting to get the hang of this but he was glad to be able to sleep longer now.

“So do we knock or something,” Casey says holding Sean. Sean’s eyes looking all around them.

	"They probably know we're here, but we could ring the buzzer," Quinn said. One didn't surprise godlings if one could help it. Quinn pressed the button on the intercom. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Hello?" That would be Griffen. Who is in an extra good mood right now as he just got his response today after he defended his thesis. Seeing Quinn would have the nerd smiling as Quinn is a cool guy. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Hey Marlow." Andy says, walking up near her. "Titan says hi." he says. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Hi Andy." Marlow beamed at him. "Is he behaving himself? I told him it would be okay to let you and Jenny have the weekend and we'd do something next weekend. But tell him I miss him, because I do. It's just not the beach without him." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Quinn stashed the beer they brought in the coolers and helped himself to a glass of mead. The warm California sun felt good after the English damp and rain. He wandered around taking in the sights and smells. The food cooking in the pit made his stomach rumble. He couldn't wait to eat. He popped a chip in his mouth and wanted over toward the brunette with the short hair. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	Svalin was taking it easy. She was on a chaise with a few pillows behind her back and one under her legs. The heat and the pregnancy served to make her ankles and feet swell. She had been ordered by her wife and by her guardian to go sit. So now she was sitting and watching everyone else. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	A shadow falls over Svalin as Sigurdur arrives to take up watching her. He looks about at everyone around them, but makes certain to remain close at hand. He noted that Svalin was not walking well, which meant that her feet must be sore. Of course, she wouldn't say it aloud. "Dost thou require anything, Svalin? I wilt bring if needed." he says.

	Since there were no other kids except the baby (and he really didn't do anything) Zoey headed out to the lawn with the dogs and the tiger. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	Jenny stepped out onto the terrace and had to take a second look. There was a /tiger/ on the lawn. She smiled to see Zoey play with it, and the dogs that joined in. Only in California, she thought. The land of the nuts and oddballs. She lifted a hand to wave at the little girl when Zoey looked in her direction. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	After finishing helping out, Casey set up a spot on the beach for him and Sean. Making sure Sean had plenty of shade and seemed happy. He then laid back in his beach chair relaxing and enjoying the views he got on the beach. He was totally going surfing later though. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	Without Titan around, Marlow wandered around to talk to people and see how they were doing. She spotted Casey with Sean and made a beeline in his direction. "Hi!" It was more an announcement with a smile than a greeting. "If you want to go and play, I'll watch the baby for awhile. Does he like sparkles?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Eiltin was seated off to the side watching what was going on around him now that he had finished helping set up. He was very curious about this whole celebration the fireworks particularly intrigued him since fire had always been very important for celebrations back in Tir na nOg. Ruarc was nearby equally intrigued and watching though he was more curious in the new people. (Reply to this)

	Dawn had gotten herself a place to sit and a plate of food, also conjuring up a portable fan and a bucket of ice. Celebrating the Fourth with gods and super-heroes. For a former mousy librarian, this was quite the upswing in life and it never failed to amaze her. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	Quinn was making the rounds and he spotted Dawn. He made his way over to her. "Hello Gorgeous," he said with a big smile. "How are you doing, luv?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Sigurdur walks along the shore, his expression as grim as his father's name. The water helped him focus. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	Griffen has been pitching a rock as he walks, Sometimes crowds get to him. Being one the smallest in height with the adults has never made him a very imposing figure. Not that it has ever bothered him. But next to the likes of Sigurdur and Hal Griffen feels like a literal dwarf. "Um. How are you," he asks while toying with a smoothed out rock in his hand.

	Svalin stayed on the chaise, but she did get up to grab a plate of food. She got a little of everything, refilled her bottle with water and sat back down. She was content to watch everyone else while she ate. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	Jenny really liked living in London, but it wasn't hard to face the fact that for beach and sunning, the Defenders had it made. It was a perfect day for it and everyone seemed to be having a great time. She changed into a swimsuit and staked out a lounge with the others. (Reply to this)

	After everyone had eaten and the sun dipped below the western horizon it was time for Quinn's favorite part of Independence Day. Fireworks. Marlow, Dawn and he started creating fireworks for the gathered group, but soon it became a competition to see who could make the biggest and most elaborate fireworks. No other firework display in the country was quite like this one. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	Casey was sitting down with Sean watching the fireworks. It was really entertaining to watch. They seemed to fascinate Sean even if he didn't like the loud noise. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
