No snow had canceled the annual snowball fight. Cait couldn't make enough snow on her own and Aunt Ororo wasn't here. Not that Cait would have asked her anyway. It would just be impolite. Cait was disappointed, but there was always later this winter or next year.

Today she was down near the lake and working on some ice statues. She'd never be the artiste that her brother was, but she could make reasonably good statues.

	"Good to hear that." Cait smiled. "I think it's in the handbook that we have to go into space once every year or once every year." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He looks confused. "There's a handbook? I've read much of your computer archives, but didn't come across anything like that." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Cait shook her head. "It's a joke. When something becomes common or cliche, we say it's in the handbook." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Ah..humor, of course," he said, feeling increasingly embarrassed. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	_tsunami_ 2012-01-03 03:44 am UTC (link)
	"Not very good humor," Cait admitted. "I'm sorry." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"No, no, it is fine. It's admittingly an area I am woefully undeveloped in." He looks back at the statues. "So..what were you making?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I was trying to make sculptures of everyone at Xavier's but that didn't turn out so well so I went with animals. I'm not very good." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He looks at the statues with an analytically eye. "Your technique is not terrible. They are pleasing to look at..is that a horse or a large dog?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	_tsunami_ 2012-01-03 03:51 am UTC (link)
	"It's supposed to be a horse," she said. "But it's not a very good one. Thanks." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"It is not bad, honestly, just..." He searches for a word. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"It's okay. I know I'm not very good. I just like trying. My brother is the artiste in the family. He works in stone and clay." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	dark_scion 2012-01-03 03:57 am UTC (link)
	"Your brother?" He seems to think a moment. "Oh, Corey Drake. He is on the Champions team according to your files." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"That's the one," she said. "He's a terrakinetic. Rufus, my other younger brother, is here and he's a pyrokinetic." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	dark_scion 2012-01-03 03:59 am UTC (link)
	"I see." He goes quiet, seeming to think on something. "You..relate well to your family?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	_tsunami_ 2012-01-03 04:07 am UTC (link)
	"When it comes down to it we all love each other, but Corey, Rufus and I do pick on and torment each other a lot. Corey and I are famous around here for our mud fights." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I see." Again hje goes quiet for a time, considering his own family situation. "You are very fortunate. I admit I find myself..envious." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	_tsunami_ 2012-01-03 04:16 am UTC (link)
	Cait wasn't quite sure what to say so there was a few moments of awkward silence. "You have a family now," she told him. "Sylvie's one of the best people I know. She and I have known each other since we were in diapers." Cait gave him a smile. "Also one of the great things about being here is that you gain a second family." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	dark_scion 2012-01-03 04:21 am UTC (link)
	"Sylvie is a good person, no denying tat truth. I know it is often..difficult for us to relate o one another. I..regret how much I frustrate her." He raises an eyebrow. "A second family? Hmm..an interesting concept." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	_tsunami_ 2012-01-03 10:21 pm UTC (link)
	"Sylvie's the best. She's the sister I never had." Cait nodded. "Yes. A second family. We all care about each other, we argue like families and when it comes down to it we all have each others backs." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	dark_scion 2012-01-03 11:46 pm UTC (link)
	"Sounds..very agreeable." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	_tsunami_ 2012-01-04 12:16 am UTC (link)
	"It is. Hopefully you'll come to call this place home and us your family." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	dark_scion 2012-01-04 12:46 am UTC (link)
	"I..I will try," he promised. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Cait smiled. "One day would you like to go into Salem Center with me for pizza? It's nice to get away here for a little bit, even if it is just for pizza." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
