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.

	"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)

	At least he has the good sense to not show it though. Or he might have to deal with her not being able to say anything again. "No. This is fine. I wouldn't want you to go through any trouble." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Just an idea. I did the same for a buddy and his twin sister for their birthdays, and when we had the rash of deaths before the whole zombie thing I made a lot of them. I got a lot of practice so its not like you're asking much. Being there to help is part of the Hobbies byline, right?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I... can ask? I don't like assuming things. I know Pippi would think it was cool. She's the one who had the Chainsaw of Compassion." She still giggles over that. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Chainsaw of what now? Okay, thats a story for another time, but yeah. Granted, if you want me to entertain at parties I'd have to ask for a payment, but for small things between friends thats no problem." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"You'd understand if you knew her better," Ash confesses. "But she's a very sweet nice person." Who has a very strange way of thinking. "I don't do parties. Crowds make me nervous so talking becomes a problem." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"It's hard for me at the very least. Like I said. Sheltered." She has no idea how to explain how much.

"Back home..., Altantis was very different. The political climate was deadly instead of just difficult to navigate. So to protect me, I was pretty much not allowed to go anywhere alone. And the guards weren't exactly talkative. So I didn't really even have friends before I came here."

	Michael takes this in, listening with intent as Ash explained what happened. And while doing so, his hand clenched tighter and tighter at what was being said. "I'm...shit. I wish I could say more than I'm sorry. That's not right. That's Not Right at all." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	seasiren 2011-07-04 11:20 pm UTC (link)
	"It's okay," she assured him. Then just gave a soft shrug. "Things are different here. Better." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	masterofmatter 2011-07-05 03:40 am UTC (link)
	"Well, so long as it's better than it was." Michael smiled at her. After all she's been through, it was the least he could do. "And better is all you can hope for, Princess. After all that crap, better is what you deserve." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	seasiren 2011-07-05 03:49 am UTC (link)
	"You have no idea. It's wonderful to be treated like I can take care of myself... I'm not helpless. Unless I have to talk to people." She blinked at him. "You don't have to do that, you know. It's just Ash up here. It's.... refreshing to work on being myself." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Alright, Ash then. I guess you'll just be Princess when you have the guards with the scary pointy sticks." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	seasiren 2011-07-05 03:52 am UTC (link)
	"They do glare impressively," Ash muttered with a faint smile. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	masterofmatter 2011-07-05 03:58 am UTC (link)
	Michael made a dismissive snort. "I've faced down death. I've fought beings with the power of gods. I've withstood the god damn Batman. I'm more worried about the pointy sticks than the angry looks." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	seasiren 2011-07-05 04:02 am UTC (link)
	"You've faced down Batman... and yet guards with spears made from coral scare you more?" She cocks one eyebrow at him. Then laughs out loud very loudly. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	masterofmatter 2011-07-05 04:11 am UTC (link)
	"Hey, sharp point sticks hurt! Just being practical." He got her to laugh! Who would have thought it? (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	seasiren 2011-07-05 04:19 am UTC (link)
	"And yet Batman is the scariest normal human in the hero community. He could be here right now and we'd never know especially since his Robin is on our team... Yet the big bad guards have you stop and pause," Ash said around a soft giggle. She was very amused and looked.... very different when she was relaxing. Some might say pretty if they had a thing for blonds. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	masterofmatter 2011-07-05 05:22 am UTC (link)
	Michael, however, does not. "Of course, I could just be lying. Batman is a pretty intimidating person." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	seasiren 2011-07-05 05:26 am UTC (link)
	"Somehow... I don't think you'd lie to me." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	masterofmatter 2011-07-05 05:27 am UTC (link)
	"Thanks for that vote of confidence. I wouldn't lie that Batman does intimidate me, but the idea of being impaled on sharp pointy anything is more intimidating to me." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	seasiren 2011-07-06 02:08 am UTC (link)
	She still thinks it's funny. "They were protecting me. You did yell, you know. It startled them." And her. But she wasn't going to say that. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
