Morning in the City
He has Zoey up and dressed, the rest of this should be easy. Nice smile, lots of non-acting. He can do this. So when he barges into Syd's room with a huge kid grin on his face all of it is for real.

"Come on, Sydney! Up and Adam!"

	He loosened his hold, she didn't. She could deal with the closeness if it meant not falling on the hard ice. "I'm not very good at this." She laughed at herself. "There goes those plans to try out for the Olympic speed skating team." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He waits, unclear of what he should be doing next. "But you're having a good time, right?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Yes," she answered with a big smile on her face. "And later I'll have the bruises to prove it. Before I forget...." As if she would ever forget something, she kissed his cheek. "Thank you." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He blushes a bit. "Just working on team morale," he mutters. "C'mon Syd, back to the ice." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sydney_ashcroft 2010-01-06 11:02 am UTC (link)
	Uh huh. Sure it was just team morale. "Okay. I'm going to do this. Even if I end up looking like I went a round with one of the kids at the end of all of this." Left. Right. Left. Stumble. Right. It was progress. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Which is why he feels he can safely park her on the bench and flag down some hot chocolate. "Look at her." he points to Zoey, who is proceeding to tell other kids now how to skate. "Are you sure you didn't pick her up on side trip to Asgard in your sorted secret past or something?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Syd shivered and leaned against him for some shared warmth. She wasn't used to the cold after spending all of her life in San Fancisco and Los Angeles. "My sordid secret past?" Syd laughed. "I have no such thing." Syd smiled as she watched her daughter. "She is a great kid. I got really lucky." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Uh, huh." He doesn't buy it, but he doesn't push. He nods in agreement. "We all did." He sips his drink in comfortable silence. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Syd wrapped her hands around the hot chocolate for warmth. How did people live in an area that got this cold? Zoey was the proof that she did have a little blemish on her past, but she didn't care. Zoey was a great kid and Syd didn't ever regret having her. "She adores everyone on the team," Syd said and then smiled. "She's not the only one." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I like them too." The hint flying right over his head. "Even if Halbjorn gets more phone numbers then I do and Aslief looks like the next big thing from Tim Burton." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sydney_ashcroft 2010-01-07 01:14 am UTC (link)
	"I didn't realize it was a competition," she said with a hint of disapproval. Of course she had to like guys that were totally wrong for her. She did have to chuckle at the last bit. "Yes, but it works for her. I just wish Zoey didn't insist on all black." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	pop_trash_hero 2010-01-07 01:23 am UTC (link)
	"It's not. It's more like..." He chuckles. "Halbjorn still thinks it's fun. I don't." "She could go with stripes..." Reading Syd's reaction. "Or I could make sure the Addams Family DVDs stay out of reach." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sydney_ashcroft 2010-01-07 01:47 am UTC (link)
	"I see," she said. Okay, maybe it wasn't as bad as she thought. Stiil...she wasn't his type no matter what she heard and what Daniel said. Syd sipped her hot chocolate. "Anything is better than all black. I'm waiting for the principal to call to see if I'm letting her go goth." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	pop_trash_hero 2010-01-07 01:57 am UTC (link)
	"We're in LA. I doubt the principal lets it register." "So what's up with the 'I see?' I mean, what do you see?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sydney_ashcroft 2010-01-07 02:10 am UTC (link)
	"I see my daughter ice skating," she said totally trying to avoid that one. Syd sighed. She wasn't the type to play games and she had to stop being a chicken at some point. It was time to just tell him and get it over with. "Look, Simon, I...." (Reply to this)(Parent)
