Father-Daughter Time
Avery followed the directions from his GPS to the mansion, not sure what he was expecting. The place was huge, he knew, but what he could see from the gate was....epic. There really wasn't another world for it.

He'd called ahead to let Sydney and Zoey know he'd be coming, but he still wasn't sure what to expect when he pulled up to the front gate. He didn't see any dragons or, heavens forbid, any Mongolian Death Worms, but one never knew with these types, did they?

He just hoped Zoey was still interested in being around him even after all the awesome she was currently surrounded with.

"It ist a good day. I hath found some new things to take up mine time between battles nd training," Aridis says trying not to linger on that for long.

"You do not need to bow to me Avery. I have no desire to be treated as if I am better than anyone else," she says after a moment coming back to the present so to speak.

Sydney gets a wide smile. "She ist a most crafty chef. I shall give her my thanks."

	"That's good to hear." he says, remembering that he likely was not talking to another mortal, but a goddess. How did Zoey and Sydney keep up each day? "It was nice to meet you, Aridis. I hope I'll see more of you." he says, before turning back to Sydney. "Is there anything Zoey shouldn't have or is allergic to?" he asks. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I will pass your thanks on to Sarah when I see her," Syd said with a smile. "She takes very good care of us." "Sugar. Candy. Soda. Junk food. She's not allergic to anything." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Avery wonders if he's accidentally offended the woman by offering a hand shake. He's only met two of the many people who live here. "Yes, I'm getting to know everyone in Zoey's life, and it's been enlightening so far." he says neutrally. "Did you come looking for pie, too? I hear Ohu's not around." he says, trying a joke.

	Clearly, someone has not heard of the power of pie. "Pie?" he says, ducking his head around a corner. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Do you have the kitchen monitored or something?" Syd asked. She was beginning to believe just that seeing how Ohu always showed up when food was brought out. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Avery felt bad, suddenly. He'd said the words and Ohu showed up out of the ether. Now Aridis and the rest of the house wouldn't get any pie. "You're the famous Ohu, then?" Avery asks, turning to extend a hand. "I've heard a little bit about you." he says with a smile. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Hearing the sound of several voices, Dawn poked her head into the kitchen. "There a party in here or something?" she asked. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"There's pie," Ohu declares. "That's close enough." Pie is delicious,delicious goodness. He shakes Avery's hand. "I am Ohu Amane, son of Anansi, keeper of all stories.

	"I'm Avery Crittenden. I'm Zoey's dad." Avery says, a note of pride in his voice. "Zoey's told me a lot about you, Ohu...and the Mongolian Death Worms. Those are just stories you tell little kids to annoy their mothers, right?" he asks. Avery sees Dawn and offers a handshake to her as well. "Hi, I'm Avery. Nice to meet you." he says.

Avery nodded at Ohu. "Yes, I am proud of her, more and more every day. She's funny, bright, and well-spoken for her age.

She's, in a word, amazing." Avery says.

He'd like to have a piece of pie, but he decides against it, as he doesn't want to spoil dinner with Zoey.

"I'll pass, thank you. I told Zoey we were going to Mama's Pizzeria before the movie and she liked the idea. Don't want to spoil us." he says.

	"I'll take some," Dawn said. "Please." She had to admit, if nothing else, the camaraderie that came with living here was nice. Once you got past the insanity. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Sure," Syd said to all those who were interested in having some pie. She grabbed plates and started putting slices of pie on the plates. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Thanks," Dawn replied. She got along well with Syd, so far anyway, though Zoey... well... That was another story. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
