Council Meeting
Below or above the surface, Atlantis was Atlantis. Not much had changed in the city and with the people even though it was now an island on the surface of the water. There was still rebuilding to do, but the population of the city went about their daily lives and politics and government never took a break.

It was Cait's first weekend in Atlantis as part of the deal with her mother and Arthur. Ty was with her and so far Arthur had been on his best behavior. Ty was stressed and Cait was stressed, but they were able to handle it. For now.

Today was a council meeting and Cait was looking forward to it. She had an ace up her sleeve and with any luck, after the meeting she won't be betrothed to Cerdian.

She took a deep breath and walked into the council chambers.

	"Deal." They had faced so much together and of course the hardest thing would be dealing with Atlantean matters. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"The council changes like the tide," she said. "Some days they will support changes and other days the dig into the sand and refuse to budge. Reason and logic is usually the best weapons." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Now that you're around, and acting the part of the princess more, I'm sure some of them will be trying to get some idea of you now, as a political figure." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Yes," she said. "They will all try to get a better idea of where I stand on issues. Obviously they know where I stand on surface issues." She shrugged. "One thing Arthur has always told me in terms of politics is to keep them guessing. Don't let anyone know what you're thinking until you want them to know." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Well Arthur does subscribe to the philosophy of 'do what I say not what I do'," Cait said. "But when you do have something to say, make sure everyone can hear it." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Yeah. That, at least, I've noticed." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Cait sighed. "I really hope this...whatever it is...lasts. It felt good not arguing or fighting with him." Cait slipped her hand in Ty's. (Reply to this)(Parent)
