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."

	"Its true, she's very good at correcting me. Doubtless for my own good." he replies, with the same easy cheer. Staying out of the literary discussion. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I'm sure she doesn't have any problems with you Clara." Clara was a sweetheart, which is why Mikal had gotten the warning glare earlier. "I'm just here to make sure he doesn't get too subtle," she says with a slight smirk at Mikal. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Oh, he knows she's a sweetheart - he toned it down pretty quickly. Harpers and a little harmless flirting just go together. Or something.

"It seems I'll be working with these people. So I'll do my best to keep everything within reasonable levels of subtlety. Scout's honor." he replies, trying, fumbling a little, but mostly kind of pulling off one of those cub scoutish gestures of honor he'd seen here and there.

	Clara smiles brightly. Nervewracking emergency that started it aside, she was really liking this team thing. Neither Morgensterns nor hope worked well in a vacuum. "Well, I know your specialty is shooting things," she says good-naturedly. "But I'm sure you also have some sort of trouble-related skills to bring to the table, don't worry."

	"Brunch," she corrects. Bats never ate breakfast. Well, mostly because they weren't usually up before noon but...details. "Flying is always a great go to for up-to-no-goodness," Janie nods. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Janie feigns a look of shock. "Kindergarten?! Daddy made sure I completed that course in preschool." Scary thing is with a bat dad you couldn't be sure if that was an exaggeration or not. But she notes Clara's apprehension and gives her a warm smile. "Practice makes perfect. Besides, if anything goes wrong either of us can catch you." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
