Regrouping (bendytimed back to right after the others showed up)
The small apartment was big enough for Cait and Ty to move about without bumping elbows too much, but with this many people it seemed smaller than normal. Wounds were tended to as best as possible and people found somewhat soft spots to relax. Cait ordered pizzas to be delivered, using up a good portion of her rainy day funds. This definitely qualified as a rainy day. She could always work a little more at the aquarium.

Work. She had to remember to call work. She wouldn't be going in tomorrow and she'd tell them an family emergency had come up. Which it had. Cerdian was family. He had been like another brother to her when they were young. He was closer to her own age than her own brother.

"So what are you all going to do now?" she asked the assembled crew. Yes, she asked what they were going to do. She wasn't a part of this and didn't want to be a part. Cait wasn't a hero.

	"Or you could be way over-complicating, and it's just performance anxiety." That came out really wrong. Teddy takes a sip of his soda. "I'm gonna shut up." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Henry turns to face Teddy with an unspoken look of, "puh-leeze." He glances back to Ty and Cerdian. "Yeah. Maybe." With that, he turns to go back downstairs. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Lian chuckles, as much for the rare occasion of Teddy noticing when he's said something stupid as for the comment itself, and snags Henry's sleeve lightly. "I think Spear-and-Magic-Helmet might have a point," Lian says. "I know you have the will power to use the ring, but that doesn't matter if you don't. Try not to out-think yourself."

	Henry gives Lian an unconvincing smile. "Yeah. That's probably it." He shrugs. It can't be that he wants to keep the ring more than he wants to find his dad... can it? "I'll do better next time. I'm sorry." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Teddy's spinning in circles on the rooftop like some air elemental with his legs all mist under him. "Wait, I was right? Cool. Yeah, we believe in you, Peter Pan." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Teddy's been saying things like that for roughly fifteen of his seventeen years, and Lian's been reacting the same way the entire time, so the open palm that lightly whacks him on the back of the head is mostly absent-minded.

"Get some sleep, Henry. We're going to find your dad, and I think you're going to do great with that thing as soon as you learn to ignore everything except what you're doing."
