Meeting for the second time (Three years earlier)
He didn't want to meet her but this was something he needed to do. So he had slipped out of his Uncle's home after doing a minor locator spell. He had a feeling she knew this was going to happen. He had to understand what his father had been trying to do. He knew of only one person who could really give him answers.

He felt queasy when he found her place. The warm marble in his hand that he had used to find the right path here gets shoved into the pocket of his jeans and he starts pacing back and fourth before he calms down. He takes a breath then walks right up to her door and knocks and waits.

What does the boy of a super villain say to the woman who caught him? He has no clue.

	"Different. He doesn't lie to me for one. He also wants me to feel safe.... And he knows all about Mom and Dad. But he doesn't act like I'm a bad seed or something. He treats me like I'm just a regular boy." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"It was one of the things Mother left me before she left on that job that got her caught. I was allowed to keep it." He shuffles his feet again. "It's called Belgrim's Guide to Beginning To Find Your Way." Not a terribly well known book but it has a lot of the most basic spells for people just starting to learn the ins and outs of scrying and locating things. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	She recognizes the minor work and nods with miniscule approval. "Fair-quality book for what it is. You could do a lot worse than Belgrim's." At which point she pauses and looks at him intently. "But that is the elephant in the atrium, isn't it?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Yes and it wear's a pointy hat," he says in a dry tone. Then sighs and decides to stop being moody for a second which is harder than it sounds. "Are you offering to teach me the right way of doing things?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

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

	He smiles a little bit. "I'd like that. I'd like having a teacher who.... isn't very much like my Mother. She wasn't a bad teacher. She just wasn't good at.... Staying." His opinion of his mother is complicated. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Staying, in multiple senses of the word, happens to be one of my favorite activities. I believe we can make something work." (Reply to this)(Parent)
