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.

In the front room of the bungalow, Marlow was currently levitating in an upside down crossed legged position. She'd just heard a TV show suggest looking at the world upside down if she wanted a new perspective and there she went. So far it didn't seem any different from right side up.

The door kicking was a little different. She gestured for the door to open and bobbed her way over to see who it was.

	"Hi! Ah. You're upside down. Don't get too many ideas, Solver; that's going to be a problem in diapers." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Uh...hi." Marlow blinked up at the two of them before she dropped to the floor to land on her back. She continued blinking. No one had come out to her bungalow since Svalin had disappeared on her dimensional travels. It wasn't unpleasant, just unexpected.

"Is something wrong? I didn't hear alarms on the comms. I can send you and Solver somewhere safe until the danger is over."

	"No. Nothing's wrong. We were just wondering if you wanted some cocoa." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I /love/ cocoa." With Vernique so...Vernique, Marlow was suddenly aware that she was being rude. She jumped to her feet. "That would be great. Let me get some cups. Would you like to sit down?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"That would be great, thanks. Is it all right if I untie Solver? I'll keep him in his flying harness." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	marlow 2012-09-12 04:52 am UTC (link)
	"Oh, please untie him." She waggled her fingers at the baby but didn't get too close. It seemed to worry adults if she did. "Flying is fun and he's really good at it. He can't hurt anything in here." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	butterflybullet 2012-09-12 04:56 am UTC (link)
	Vernique finds somewhere safe to set the thermoses and unties Solver, who will happily start flying around and baby-giggling in Marlow's general direction. Vernique smiles. "Yeah. He's so coordinated for his age. And so smart." She sighed. "Probably his dad's side coming through there." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	marlow 2012-09-12 05:01 am UTC (link)
	Marlow went for coffee mugs. "Was Solver's dad a mutant? The flying thing seems like a mutant ability. I know Solver isn't magical." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	butterflybullet 2012-09-12 05:08 am UTC (link)
	"Maybe. The timejump stuff made it hard to remember. He was definitely something unusual, but not mystic or divine or anything. So mutant's the best guess." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	marlow 2012-09-12 02:46 pm UTC (link)
	"Huh." Marlow set the mugs down and looked around at Solver over their heads. He was an awfully cute little guy. Maybe he needed a pet. She sat down and waited, unsure what to say now. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

She perked up. Magic was her favorite subject and she rambled on without a speed bump to slower her down. "I'm working hard on it. It's always been easy but now I'm bending it to different purposes and I want it to be ready. Martin...do you know Martin? Maybe not, he hasn't visited here yet. Martin is Dr. Strange's ward and he's a Thunderbolt. He's like my brother. Well, Martin and I went demon hunting and I should him my lightsaber spell. It was WONDERFUL!"

	Vernique slipped out to meet Jordan at the airport. At first, she doesn't say anything, just goes for the hug and stays there. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	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."

	"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)
