Happy Birthday Jack
Kalypso had been preparing for Jack's birthday so that when it got here she was ready. She had been up with the sun and went out to get the last few remaining items she would need for their lunch. The picnic basket was packed with food and a bottle of wine and ready to go. His gift, a small device of Eternal technology, that would capture images and then display them in a 3D holograph was wrapped and put with the basket.

Now all that she needed was the birthday boy.

	"Not really," Kal said. "I can always reach her in an instant and get to her in an instant." Kal smiled. "And she needs to get out a little bit." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Every time she sees me, she pinches my cheek like I'm your twelve year old boyfriend come to walk you to school." He smiled back. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"It's cute and she thinks you're adorable. Don't forget, we're all just little kids in her eyes. She is tens of thousands of years old." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I know, I know. It's still odd to have a mother encourage me to be free with her little girl instead of looking at me suspiciously." Not that any mother ever did. He was just that type of guy. "I like Sersi very much, and not because she's the source of the best thing that ever happened to me. She's just not like any mother I've ever been acquainted with." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Mom's pretty unique," Kal said with a fond smile. "Even among the Eternals. I love that about her. Your mom is the one who does the suspicious looks." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I think it's normal for retired assassins," Jack said. "She actually likes you very much. I can tell. She's barely armed when she's in the same room with you." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Kal smiled. "I will remember that the next time I find myself getting suspicious looks." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He sort of shrugged. "I think there was a lot of fear on her part when I was born. She always kept me close just in case. It's taken her this long to relax enough for me to move away from home and away from her protection." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	notinplainsight 2011-07-31 12:57 am UTC (link)
	"Your mother wants to keep you close and mine tries to get rid of me," Kal joked. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	jackmurdock 2011-07-31 04:53 am UTC (link)
	"And they're each getting what they want. Your mom wants you to be adored, and mine wants me to be protected." He grinned at her. "I couldn't adore you any more than I do now." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	She smiled and kissed him. "And I will always protect you." She picked up a strawberry and fed it to him. She was glad she had thought of a picnic lunch on Titan. They were less likely to be interrupted by /something/ and it gave her a chance to show him around. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I am completely on board with that." He smiled through the kiss. Despite the darkness inside himself he was growing more aware of every day, he could say that this was a perfect day. "So what do you want to do after we eat?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I figured I could show you around and let you see the architecture if you want." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Was I too obvious with the looking around on the walk to the park?" he asked. "I would love to see it all." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I know you," she said. "It's your birthday so we're doing what you want." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I saw some great details I'd love to see better. I can't help but wonder when the last time any construction was done. If it's been the same for hundreds or thousands of years, it's in really good condition." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Not too long ago actually," she said. "Almost everything was destroyed by my uncle when he tried to destroy all of them." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	jackmurdock 2011-08-07 08:05 pm UTC (link)
	"How long ago is not too long ago? And how did they get it rebuilt so fast? Oh wait, Eternals. Don't answer that last one." He dug into the chicken. "Do you know if they just rebuilt exactly what was there or if they built new designs?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Thirty, forty years," Kal said. She smiled. "We're a talented race." "From what I have been able to tell, a lot of it was rebuilt the way it was but there were some improvements and additions. Titan has always been a place of beauty, peace and learning. My grandmother was killed in the attack." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	jackmurdock 2011-08-07 09:57 pm UTC (link)
	"I would love to get my hands on the blueprints." He smiled back. "It is beautiful here, and I have no doubt about your talents. I am sorry your grandmother didn't get to meet you." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I can ask Mentor if they exist and if you can have a copy. I don't see why it would be a problem." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"It's not like I can come back on my own and break into the bank, but I'd understand if he said no." He tilted his head, watching her as he ate. "Do you ever want to live here?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	notinplainsight 2011-08-07 10:10 pm UTC (link)
	"It's tempting," she admitted. "But you wouldn't be here. Maybe in a few hundred years I'll tire of Earth and come live here for awhile." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	jackmurdock 2011-08-07 10:13 pm UTC (link)
	He leaned in to kiss her quick. "If you did any time in the next six or eight decades, I'd want to come with you." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	notinplainsight 2011-08-07 10:26 pm UTC (link)
	"I will bring you here anytime you want," she said. "I love to visit and will use any excuse to visit." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
