Temporally Ambiguous Post-Formation conversation
Well, that had happened.

It was all very weird, scary, and exhausting. But it definitely just emphasized that the oommitment she'd made was for real. And worth it, what with more people being safer and all because she'd been able to help. And now they had a whole little Hero (or Heroine) Education thing going, apparently, and that was going to help a lot, and the people seemed nice.

She was there now, but nothing much was happening at the moment, so she was sitting outside on a rock, had her guitar out and was playing "Rainbow Connection."

	"Wow," Clara says as they're getting up. "Still can't get over how things look from this angle. I feel tall." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Janie doesn't say it, but she thinks it's lucky Clara wasn't scared of heights before getting the ring. Because that would really cause problems. "It's great isn't it?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Clara's glad to hear it's not just a matter of her being a bumpkin. "How long did it take you two to get the hang of it?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Janie shrugged. "Hard to say. I mean, when you've been able to for long enough and practiced as often as possible... But I mean, we've all had mishaps happen." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Yeah, I took to flying pretty quick. Landing, however..." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"It totally counted. Flying at the rooftop, however..." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Ouch! Oh goodness!" Clara said sympathetically. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"That poor roof had to be completely retiled." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Thanks... but really, only painful for the roof... both times." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Gosh." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Janie laughed. "Don't look so worried for him. It was everything nearby his 'landings' that needs the sympathy. Free landscaping but he wasn't too good at it." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	apollos_bow 2012-12-21 06:53 am UTC (link)
	"I got very good at the landscaping, I'll have you know. Dad made sure I spent a lot of time fixing everything I landed on for a while there. Good motivation to practice." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"That would totally have been my dad's policy on that, if he'd ever needed a policy on that. Very into cleaning up after oneselves, Dad is." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	thegirlwonder 2012-12-21 06:58 am UTC (link)
	"Yeah, eventually," she teased Mikal. "Daddy's big on that too. He was just really worried when I started flying, even if I'm really durable. All sorts of rules about not going too high and stuff." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	apollos_bow 2012-12-21 07:01 am UTC (link)
	"My dad was very worried when I got into flying too... mostly that I'd lose more races or not be able to get up high enough. I think he covered half of those repairs betting all the other dads." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"That's a very interesting perspective!" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	thegirlwonder 2012-12-21 07:06 am UTC (link)
	"He would've covered more but for me beating Mikal. I think Daddy was torn about dangerous flying rules and being proud about me winning races." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	apollos_bow 2012-12-21 07:08 am UTC (link)
	"Its true. Dad was never really happy about that. Mom was amused though." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Must be neat having such a big extended family." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Your head was getting big, someone had to do something about it," Janie teased. "Between the two of us helping, you'll be a great racer if you wanted Clara." Janie nods. Oh yeah, her extended family was rather huge. It even included alternate dimension relatives! "It's nice, there's a ton of them on both sides. Can make holidays fun. What about your family?"

	"It was bound to happen. Bats aren't allowed to not be good at things. Its one of Uncle Spooky's rules. Amazons and Arrows definitely makes for... an interesting family gathering though, its true." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Well, with three sisters, it's not like Team Morgenstern is a small family, but no cousins or anything." "There was a significant pause there. Was it a funny significant pause or a worried significant pause?" It wasn't that Clara didn't have manners, just.... (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
