Summer Gift Giving (Open to Titans East)
Michael had hoped to visit Titans East tower sooner than this, but with an uptick in school work (Summer intersession: The same amount of work in a semester in about a six week period) he hadn't been able to really come by the tower to drop off his gift to the princess.

It was something small, a small pendant with a T symbol to represent the Titans and colored Patina to give it a nice blue color. He had it wrapped up and ready to go. So once his final class of the day was over he made sure to get everything packed up and head to New York, where the Titans East were.

	"W-What is that supposed to mean," Ash suddenly asked blinking for all she was worth. "...The point was you bringing something over anyways," Ash pointed out. "If you were busy you could have sent a note." She is working very hard on not displaying hurt feelings.She doesn't like it when people know she's disappointed in them. Or if she feels slightly hurt.

	Here, Adam, have a 5'7" Michael glare at you for that. "It didn't feel right to just send it. I don't like just sending stuff. Prefer giving it to them in person." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Adam doesn't even notice the glare. "I'll leave the two of you alone then," Adam says with a smirk before starting to walk off. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Ash gave Adam a very confused look. She had no idea what he meant. "I thought you forgot on purpose," Ash muttered softly glancing down again. At least she could admit that out loud. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Hell no, I didn't forget. I just had a bunch of stuff to do that kept me from coming." Michael doesn't know how to deal with this. What the hell is up with her? (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	This is normal not confident in anything Ash. She does perk up a little though and smiles a bit. "School. Right? I heard college is very busy." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	masterofmatter 2011-07-04 06:38 pm UTC (link)
	"Yeah. College and all that. Its a pain in the ass but it has to be done if I want to go anywhere in my career. As much as I like doing this there's no paycheck attached." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Ash couldn't help but chuckle. "Don't I know that. I am lucky that King Orin and Queen Mera have accepted me as theirs. It's.... I don't have a formal education on the surface. Couldn't get a job." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	masterofmatter 2011-07-04 07:02 pm UTC (link)
	"Yikes. That...well, that must really suck. No formal education? You seem well off enough. Couldn't you get some help with that?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	seasiren 2011-07-04 07:12 pm UTC (link)
	"Not like you. I had tutors. No schools for Princesses," she said with a laugh. "I was thinking about getting a GED on the surface, just to help round out my education a bit more." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Why is it that no one understands she can't do what she wants to anyways? Atlantis is always first. "I just thought it would help me understand the world up here better." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	masterofmatter 2011-07-04 08:19 pm UTC (link)
	"Oh. That would be a good point, too. Since you are royalty, I suppose one of your responsibilities would be cultural exchange." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	seasiren 2011-07-04 08:23 pm UTC (link)
	"To some degree yes. I still find some things um...... Awkward because of my physiology." Fish markets where the fish are still alive freak her out so much. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Thats understandable. Atlantis has a very different culture compared to the surface. I'm sure there are some thing down there that would weird me out as much as there's stuff up here to weird Atlanteans out." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"E...E... Excuse me?" She is back to stammering. Then she narrows her gaze a little and straightens her shoulders out.

"We are not weird! O-o... Or t-th...that different t-t-than the surface w-w-world. We j-ju-st s..still s-s-stick t-t-tto our traditions e-even if we-we're tr-trying to ch-change with the times."

Oh Dis that sounded so horrible. But he had upset her by what he just said and it was harder to talk when her emotions were running high.

	"What are you talking about? I didn't say it was weird. I said it would weird me out. Its because of the difference in culture, not the Atlanteans being weird." Okay, that got under his skin. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

She was still very upset with how it had sounded.

She opens her mouth to try and say something. And it's so bad nothing can actually come out. Her nerves have never felt like this before. She tries to speak again and instead hiccups reflexively and goes a little cross eyed because really is that all she can manage to say?

Oh for crying out loud. She's never been rendered this nervous or upset before.

	Oh fuck! Oh fuck oh fuck oh fuck! "Uhhh, Princess? What's wrong?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Ash shakes her head. She doesn't think she'll be able to speak. Not whole her nerves are like this. She's trying to calm down but if he starts to panic she won't be able to. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Do you need something to drink? Maybe some caffeine or some water? Would that help?" The nod calmed Michael down a smidgen, but he's still concerned. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

She nodded after giving it some thought and passed over her large book so she could open the still chilled bottle of Dr Pepper she had with her. Her hand wasn't very steady but she managed to get a few sips down.

"S-... Sorry. I g-get nervous really bad. Start to s-s.. stutter really badly." She blushes more than a little.

"it can g-get so bad I c-can't form words."

	"No need to get nervous there, Princess. It's just me. I just came to give you your gift." And as if a switch clicked, Michael dug it out of his pocket. It's a small pendant on a necklace, with a recognizable T on it. "Here you go." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	seasiren 2011-07-04 10:09 pm UTC (link)
	She actually gives a nervous smile. "N-Not very used to people. I was always pretty sheltered. And I never deal well with things." Except that time she had to take the helm. She had done okay then. "Oh!" She actually perks up and looks less nervous. "This is very lovely." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	masterofmatter 2011-07-04 10:18 pm UTC (link)
	"Thanks, princess. Thought it would be a good fit seeing as you're a Titan. Hell, if you want, I can make some for your whole team. I can make it extra big for your gigantic teammate back there." Michael smiled, but the idea of her being so damn sheltered it causes her to stutter to the point of silence irks him. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
