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

	"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)

	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)

	"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)

	"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)

	"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)
