Phone call.
Cindy set down her completed homework for the night and then got to do what she really wanted: call Nic.

	She'd forgotten her phone was in her pocket until it rang. Wiping her nose on her sleeve, she answered her phone. "Hi." (Reply to this)(Thread)

	littleladylord 2010-11-02 04:44 am UTC (link)
	Cue a happy and slightly adoring "Hello, gorgeous!" that starts to fade as she becomes concerned by how Nic's voice sounded. She hopes it was just her imagination; it was only one syllable. "Everything okay?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	hawkgirl 2010-11-02 04:45 am UTC (link)
	"My brother's stupid. My whole family is stupid. I mean, I know I wasn't wanted but this is ridiculous." She wiped her nose again. "Are you sure I can't come see you?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	littleladylord 2010-11-02 04:52 am UTC (link)
	"Families can be weird, but I can't see anybody not wanting you...what happened?" "I don't want you exhausting yourself," And it sounded like she might not be in the best shape to be flying. "I can call in a favor to get to New York or get you here?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	hawkgirl 2010-11-02 04:55 am UTC (link)
	"I'm in Louisiana," she sighed. "I tried to talk to my brother about stuff and he pretty much told me that I'm being dumb. He doesn't think I should be with you. He doesn't think I can make choices for myself." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	littleladylord 2010-11-02 04:58 am UTC (link)
	"...Nic, I... I'm sorry. The last thing I wanted to do is cause you problems. But you're seventeen. You're almost an adult... do you think he'll come around?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	hawkgirl 2010-11-02 02:47 pm UTC (link)
	"You're not causing problems." It wasn't exactly the truth, but it was close. "No, he won't. You don't understand...it's always like this. No one cares what I think or want. They just want to...put me in a box." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	littleladylord 2010-11-02 04:46 pm UTC (link)
	Cindy listens. "Your parents, too?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	hawkgirl 2010-11-02 08:58 pm UTC (link)
	"My parents especially. Cindy, they sent me to Rex because they didn't wan to deal with me. They pawn me off on him. They always have. And considering that Rex's dad left and I'm probably why? I doubt that he likes this situation." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	littleladylord 2010-11-02 09:04 pm UTC (link)
	"Nic, you'd know better than I how Rex well or not-well Rex reacts to having responsibility dumped on him, but I really can't believe his dad's leaving was because of you." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	hawkgirl 2010-11-02 09:07 pm UTC (link)
	Somewhere deep down, Nic knew John Stewart didn't leave because of her. She had her own memories of the man, a man who introduced her to bacon and the "magical animal" it came from. They were all good memories. But that didn't mean Nic was rational. "It is though. Why else would he go away?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	littleladylord 2010-11-02 09:12 pm UTC (link)
	"I don't know. Weird Lantern reasons beyond anybody's control, probably. There's always an angle, but I just don't think an adorable little kid would be it." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	hawkgirl 2010-11-02 09:13 pm UTC (link)
	"Ever seen a Hawk baby?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	littleladylord 2010-11-02 09:18 pm UTC (link)
	"Not a baby member of your family, no, I'm just deducing adorability there because of the obvious factors. I've seen a baby kestrel, though, at the wildlife center. It was fluffy and cute and chowing down on raw mouse." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	hawkgirl 2010-11-02 09:20 pm UTC (link)
	"Ewwwww." For a second Nic couldn't get that image out of her head. "We're weird. We're like human babies, but with lumpy backs until our wings develop and sprout. Mine sprouted unevenly. I had a partial left wing by the time I was six months old and a nub for a right." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	littleladylord 2010-11-02 09:22 pm UTC (link)
	"Awwhh, gosh." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	hawkgirl 2010-11-02 09:24 pm UTC (link)
	"I was a really awkward baby." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	littleladylord 2010-11-02 09:27 pm UTC (link)
	"Uh-huh," Cindy says, her tone of voice still in 'cuuuuuuuuute' mode. Then it sobers up. "It sounds like they got to develop an unfortunate worrying habit right from the start, getting all fretty about your wings." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	hawkgirl 2010-11-02 09:55 pm UTC (link)
	"I don't know that it had anything to do with my wings." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	littleladylord 2010-11-02 10:38 pm UTC (link)
	A conceding sort of sound. And then a pause. "...So what happens now?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	hawkgirl 2010-11-02 10:39 pm UTC (link)
	Nic sighed. "I go back in, go to my room and be grounded for a year." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	littleladylord 2010-11-02 10:54 pm UTC (link)
	A sympathetically-frustrated little sound. "You're seventeen, for goodness' sake." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	hawkgirl 2010-11-03 12:34 am UTC (link)
	"I know!" She sighs. "Should probably go clean stuff up. I trashed Rex's kitchen." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	littleladylord 2010-11-03 12:38 am UTC (link)
	"Okay. Call me whenever you can, please?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	hawkgirl 2010-11-03 12:40 am UTC (link)
	"I will. I promise." Nic then makes kissy noises into the phone. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	littleladylord 2010-11-03 01:00 am UTC (link)
	A happy/embarrassed squeaky sound, and then Cindy'll mimic one of said kissy noises just a little before a reluctant. "Bye." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	hawkgirl 2010-11-03 01:01 am UTC (link)
	"Bye." Nic hangs up the phone and sighs before getting down from the roof and going back into the house. (Reply to this)(Parent)
