Over My Head
If someone were to ask Dinadan Palmer what his favorite part of the week was, he’d tell them Friday afternoon; specifically late Friday afternoon when the school week is over and he’s finished his weapons’ training for the day, and the weekend stretches out glorious and free ahead of him. It’s exactly that time now, and he feels at ease with his world.

He weaves a little as he walks to his bedroom, since he hasn’t quite mastered the art of walking and towel-drying his hair at the same time, but he doesn’t knock into anything or trip over his own feet (today), so it doesn’t really matter. He reaches his bedroom and tosses the towel into his laundry hamper, flicking on the radio for some music while he gets dressed and makes plans for his freedom.

This is ultimately why Dinadan is playing air-guitar in his underwear when Henry puts his plan into action.

	Din's phone begins to ring. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	It rings a couple times before Dinadan hears it over the music. He turns the radio off and whacks his elbow on the corner of his desk reaching for the phone. "Ow." He shoots the desk a dirty look. "Hello?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"What are you doing tonight?" No "Hi, Din." No, "How's it going?" Not even, "It's Henry." Nope. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Dinadan can just feel his adrenal glands wake up and pay attention to Henry's voice. "Hadn't decided yet. Why?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I really need your help. Undercover work. No, you don't need to change your skin-tone when I pick you up. I can handle that." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	The phone rings again. It's Henry's ID. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I got it! I'll see you later, Dad!" Dinadan calls into the house as he snags the phone. "Hey Henry, got everything. I'm ready to go." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I lied," he says. "You've got a blind date." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Dinadan opens his mouth. Then closes it. Then panics. "Aba-- Whazza-- Adeja-- HENRY!" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Petra grins and shrugs. "Well, I can either tuck you somewhere and fly there, or I can go on ahead and call you. You do that phone trick, right?" She was still giggling about the condom incident. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Tuck...? For the sake of eventually having his blush die down, he's going to assume that she means in a pocket. "Couldn't I just hold onto you or something?" Dinadan asks, scratching the back of his neck. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Ohh," Dinadan says. "Well, I guess I'd better wait for your call. I'm really not good at cold." The Amazon rain forest really doesn't do cold, and Dinadan tends to break out the winter clothes early in Ivy Town and put them away late. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Petra, for her part, sleeps like a corpse, stirring very little, and hard to awaken. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	It doesn't take Dinadan too long to find his way out, and he pulls the shirt and sweats back on once he's regained human height. That done, he tucks the blankets back around Petra and slips out of her bedroom to the kitchen area. Hopefully she won't mind if he starts something for breakfast... (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Petra finally stirs around 11 or so. She kicks back the covers and gets in a good stretch before flopping onto her side, adjusting the pillows. Something smells good, but not quite enough to get her out of bed yet. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: The Next Morning... sonoftheatom 2010-04-18 09:37 pm UTC (link)
	Dinadan's had enough time to make breakfast, eat, realize that Petra's not getting up any time soon, do the dishes, and get his morning exercises in. He's currently contemplating curling up with one of her books to keep from fidgeting nervously all over the apartment. It's weird being in someone else's house while that person is asleep.
