The Morning After (open)(bendytimed back a little)
Last night hadn't gone exactly to plan, but it had been a wonderful night. The exhibit had been wonderful, dinner excellent and afterwards...Syd blushed at the thought. She had woke up this morning snuggled up next to a warm body and with a smile on her face.

She would have stayed in bed if she could, but an eight am meeting on the East Coast meant a five am meeting on the West Coast. Syd rolled out of bed at 4:30 and got dressed and caffeinated before her video conference with Mr. Stark. After the meeting she started a batch of blueberry muffins and scrambled up some eggs. Pancake batter was made and ready to be cooked when people filtered into the kitchen.

The residents and their guest would be waking up soon and it was best to be armed with food. She smiled at the thought of two dogs, a tiger and a kid jumping into bed with Avery.

Last night was officially counted as one of the three best nights of Avery Crittenden's life. If he ever had to recount those three nights, all of them would have Sydney in common.

He rolls over around 5:30 am and finds...no Sydney. While that was perplexing, it was far less so than the two dogs, tiger and kid that came to join him in his slumber.

He's not certain how he'll address this, so he'll let his daughter ask the questions and hope that she's not nearly as perceptive as he expects her to be.

	Zoey, with animals in tow, climbed into the bed not long after Sydney had vacated it. She was still sound asleep and would be until around eight or so. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Avery is very glad that Sleepy Child is Sleepy. This will give him a little time to get presentable for when Zoey does wake up. He eases out of bed, over the dogs, past the tiger and to the bathroom. Once he feels semi-human, he'll smile at the sleeping girl and make his way downstairs. (Reply to this)(Parent)

A groan sounds from one of the door ways and Griffen shuffles his way into the kitchen. He is still in the clothes Sydney might have seen him in yesterday. He is sporting a five o'clock shadow and generally looks like he hasn't slept.

He just sort of grunts in her direction. Then stands right in front of the coffee maker as if trying to absorb caffeine through the air. Yeah that won't work Mr O'Niell.

	Syd patted Griffen on the shoulder. "Go sit. I'll get you coffee and something to eat," she gently told him. She knew about all-nighters and lack of sleep. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Avery arrives downstairs and takes a seat, smiling at Sydney. She looked beautiful even this early in the morning. "If you've got coffee, I will gladly take some as compensation for not being warned about the ambush I woke up to." Avery grins. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Avery will get blinked at. "Ah. That's where the dogs went. Spencer wasn't happy I stopped rubbing his belly a couple of hours ago. I was working." He rubs his face as he goes for one of the chairs. He is too tired to wonder why Avery is here. "Morning. Or is it afternoon." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Syd blushed a deep red when she saw Griffen blinking at Avery. "It's someone else's turn for that. I get it every morning." She started pouring coffee for the two men. "There's definitely coffee." Syd was working on her third cup already. "It's still morning. About six thirty." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Granted it was a very quiet ambush. She just slipped in and went back to sleep, but I was very, very careful not to step on the tiger's tail as I left." Avery grins. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

He blinks at them again. Then it slowly dawns on him. He decides to not to comment.

"Ah. Normal then. I'm pretty sure Zoey has convinced all the animals that she's their best friend. So don't be surprised if at least two of them are on her heels." He yawns and props his head up with one arm. He does seem to get some life in him when he gets a hold of that coffee. It is a slow process.

	"You got lucky," Syd said. "Usually I get an all out assault." Syd rubbed her eyes. The day had started way too early. "Did you see anyone else up and about, Griffen?" Syd asked. "Are you hungry? I got pancake batter already made." Syd had managed to be awake before Sarah this morning. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Marlow entered the kitchen on foot this time rather than teleporting in. She was feeling a little bouncy herself. "Good morning," she announced, making it a statement and not a question as she located the a coffee mug. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sydney_ashcroft 2010-07-27 09:31 pm UTC (link)
	A bouncy Marlow was a strange sight indeed. Syd didn't ask. Even though they all lived together and were a team, each was entitled to a private life. "Good morning, Marlow," she said. "Coffee is made and would you like some pancakes?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	marlow 2010-07-27 09:40 pm UTC (link)
	"I would, thank you!" Marlow was feeling good, as if she were finally emerging from a haze that kept her from being fully in the moment. "May I help?" She made the offer without stopping to consider that she didn't have the foggiest idea of how to go about making pancakes. She rarely used normal sources when she warmed or chilled her drinks.

	She teleported herself and Andy to a spot under a tree near enough to the main house to be within sight of anybody who cared to look out of the windows. "I'm not looking daggers at you, but I don't like you very much right now. I might be wrong, but after yesterday I don't know if you're a nice guy or not." (Reply to this)(Thread)

	gammagodling 2010-07-28 04:54 am UTC (link)
	Andy is utterly perplexed and it shows on his face. Then he slaps his forehead as things click into place. "What did Titan do to you?" Andy asks. "Whatever it was, I'm sorry, and it won't happen again." I swear, Titan, if you've ruined this for me... (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	marlow 2010-07-28 05:20 am UTC (link)
	Marlow now glared indignant daggers at him. She forgot she was dealing with a demigod and poked him in the chest with her finger. "Titan didn't do anything. He was good and kind and he made me laugh. You did! You need to take better care of him!" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	gammagodling 2010-07-28 05:45 pm UTC (link)
	"He gets along with MY brother. MY mother loves him. But forgive me if I'm not sympathetic to his plight. Titan is the reason I can't go.to Olympus and see my family!" Andy says, getting angry himself. "Titan might be nice to you, Marlow, but he's not your friend. He WANTS you." Andy says. It's better that she knows now. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	marlow 2010-07-29 12:16 am UTC (link)
	Marlow gazed after him in consideration. Her image appeared in his path. "You're right, I don't know enough and I apologize for letting my curiosity get in the way. I'll leave, you go back for breakfast. You should get to know them better, too." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	gammagodling 2010-07-29 12:34 am UTC (link)
	"No need. Titan and I are both used to be being alone together." Andy says, stepping past (or through) her image and going back to his bungalow." Andy says. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	marlow 2010-07-29 12:44 am UTC (link)
	Alone was something Marlow understood all too well. Her image only nodded at his back and disappeared. Anyone watching would see Marlow disappear as well. It would be some time before she's seen again around the compound. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
