Pondering
Arthur was NOT brooding. He was merely thinking about his talk with Mera. Though he knew Lorena would accuse him of brooding. She always accused him of brooding even when he wasn't.

He hadn't realized how much he missed Mera until he saw her. There was such a huge hole in his life without Mera. One he knew was there, but didn't know how expansive it was. She was the love of his life and Arthur knew he would never truly love another woman. She was all that he wanted and all that he would ever want.

Arthur stood near the outer edges of Sub Diego and stared out into the blue.

	Lorena had gone out searching for Arthur when she hadn't seen him earlier. Eventually, she'd found him, brooding like usual. She didn't even bother to ask what he was brooding about this time. He was ALWAYS brooding, even when he said he wasn't. "Hey there bossman," she said, swimming up to him. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	"Lorena," Arthur said. "Figured you would come looking for me sooner or later. Something happen?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Nothing. Just haven't seen you all day. Figured you'd be out brooding or something." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I'm not brooding. Just doing some thinking and enjoying the quiet out here," he told her. He was quiet for a moment. "I saw Mera." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Oh." She paused. "Umm...how did it go?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Arthur shrugged. "It went. We're both miserable without each other, but we can't be together." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Why not? If you love each other, then you should be together, right?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Arthur shook his head. Youth had such a simplistic outlook on life. At times he wished he could have it. "It's not that simple, Lorena. She's the queen of Atlantis and I've been exiled. Our problems go way back." He didn't think Mera would ever forgive him for the death of Arthur Jr. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I see...." Lorena said, a thoughtful look on her face. "You don't think there's any way you could resolve your um...issues?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I honestly don't know. I think she's trying to convince both of us that we can, but...We'll see. Maybe the wounds run too deep to ever be healed." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Lorena nodded. She put a hand on Arthur's shoulder. "I'm sure it'll turn out alright in the end." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	mrcrankypants 2010-07-17 01:37 am UTC (link)
	Arthur put a hand on hers. "I wish I had as much faith as you, Lorena. What problems are on our plate for today? Food? Shelter?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	heroes_atlantis 2010-07-17 10:55 pm UTC (link)
	"Hey for someone who lost everything that she had, faith is all I have left," she said honestly. "Shelter, mostly. There's a couple unstable structures that could use our help." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	mrcrankypants 2010-07-17 11:18 pm UTC (link)
	"You still have me," Arthur pointed out. "Let's get busy then. I don't want to have them coming down on top of people." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	heroes_atlantis 2010-07-17 11:27 pm UTC (link)
	She smiled. "Yeah, I do. Let's get going bossman." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	mrcrankypants 2010-07-17 11:30 pm UTC (link)
	"How many times do I have to tell you to not call me that?" Arthur grumbled. He would never say, but he didn't mind it as much as he led on. He just liked to give Lorena a hard time. It was his way of showing affection. (Reply to this)(Parent)
