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)

	"Undercover work? All right, I'm in." Wasn't what he'd been planning, but hey, it gets him out of the house. Dad gets worried if he spends too much time in his room. Besides, hanging out with Henry's always fun. Occasionally terrifying, but fun. "What are we doing and what do you need me to bring?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I need you to dress like you're going on a date. Look, it's a long story. I'll fill you in when I get there. Nice clothes, cologne if you've got it, shower, shave, all that... if you've got time to run out and grab some flowers, so much the better, but don't sweat it if you can't manage that.

	"I can do that," Dinadan says. He's guessing that his messenger bag is going to get a 'no' here, so he's going to need to figure out what of his stash of undercover toys he can hide on his person without causing suspicion. "How much time do I have?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	lantern_kid 2010-03-15 09:11 pm UTC (link)
	"Two hours," he tells him. "I'll be there at... seven. We'll stop and grab pizza, and I'll fill you in on the story." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Got it," Dinadan says, heading for his closet for something date-like with lots of pockets. "See you then." (Reply to this)(Parent)
