Marlow Appreciation Time
Solver was pappoosed to her back, and she carried two thermoses of cocoa as she knocked with her foot on Marlow's door.

	He wraps her in his arms and just holds her for as long as she wants to hug him. He may have flown his own plane down, but its still an airfield. Big embraces are par for the course at times, so no one looks twice. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Finally, she manages to part. "Totally figures. I purposely stay in town so she doesn't worry I'm walking out on her after all that's been said ... and she leaves the planet without a moment's notice." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Affairs of the gods, things mortals were not meant to know... there one day, gone the next... yeah... Snowbird had all of that too when she was with the team. Plenty of stories. I'm amazed you two have been as consistently close as you are... you've done better with a goddess than anyone else I've heard of." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"We've always tried to be flexible and accomodating. I used to consider myself good at that. There are always a few things that get pretty bad, but I didn't think they'd really come up much short of another human sacrifice incident." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"You have been, and you are absolutely nothing short of amazing. Sometimes you just need to get some perspective and distance from a world like that.Gods, sorcerors... both are going to always have concerns and issues and perspectives from their own culture, from things they deal with that we just don't. Same as they'll never get what its like to be a human who doesn't deal with all the demons and mystic studies and thousand-year wars and everything."

	"There's a good Mexican lpace that's not far. Let's go eat there and talk about... is it okay to talk about hockey yet? And your brother, and baby things." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"It is a perfect time to talk about hockey. The season starts in less than a month, and there's at least two Canadian teams with a chance this year. Now that we covered that, yeah... Mexican sounds great. Family stuff too." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Vancouver will have a chance as long as the twins are playing well. Everything revolves around Sedin to Sedin goals, and occasionally brilliant, if inconsistent goaltending, if it comes at the right time. And Montreal... well, still has enough faith that they'll get the cup back eventually to keep spending money on the team." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"And your dad and brother're just going to root for Toronto regardless of whether they have a chance, right?" Vernique was pretty sure she remembered that part of the breakdown correctly. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Yeah, admittedly, same way I'd cheer for any team from Canada if they made the finals. At least til we get the cup back at least once. Even if its Vancouver." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"There will be a lot of that, nationally, until someone actually wins it. Since the spending sprees in America started... well, Montreal used to be the 'Yankees of Hockey' by some accounts. Now, next season would mark the 20th anniversary of any Canadian team winning it." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	She smiles. "I'll admit, I was thinking more of what would happen if somebody invited all the Japanese teams. The Little League version totally trounced us, I hear." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"It would be a giant mess. The pitching is pretty different. Japanese players are showing they can keep up at the plate, at least their stars, but the differences in power and finesse pitching would take a lot of adjustment. That, and the rules quibbles. Plus, of course, the fight over whether to recognize Mr. Oh." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Probably pretty disastrous, yeah," she agrees. Once they arrive at the restaurant, she'll take his arm. "Probably the last one's enough to guarantee how absolutely it'll never happen. The Americans wouldn't, and the Japanese wouldn't be having with that. So how is Mason?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: When Jordan Arrives. strongbox 2012-09-13 12:17 am UTC (link)
	"Yeah, I think that alone pretty much kills it, even if nothing else did. Mr. Oh would invalidate the most cherished record in baseball. Never mind than an American would too, if they included Josh Gibson. But anyway, Mason is... having some trouble, but heading the right direction, I think." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Negro league. 75 home runs in a season, close as anyone could ascertain, died of a brain tumor a little bit before integration. As for Mason... he'd like some help in things involving his girlfriend. I was hoping you might be willing to talk to him, when you're in a better place. He may also be going to school down here for a bit." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: When Jordan Arrives. butterflybullet 2012-09-13 12:39 am UTC (link)
	"Definitely impressive. Shame it's not more well-known even now. And good for him doing the school thing. I'd be happy to talk to him...later." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Later, much later. For now, we'll leave Mason out of it til you're in a better place. Right now, we can keep things light, or talk about whatever you want, really." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
