Okay, there no sense putting this off anymore. He was going to be getting in on late admission anyway, if he went for it. Jordan had already convinced him it was the right thing to do, and he wanted to do it.

It was just going to be really hard.

"Hey, princess? You in there?" Mason knocked at her door.

	"C'mon in, hon" Nim said. There was the vague sound of sloshing water. She'd been in her tank, topping up the old hydration for another few hours. By the time Mason had opened the door, she'd wrapped a towel around herself. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	His face? It goes from like ~_~ to like :D but then back to just :). "Hey you." He crosses the room to give her a kiss, not in any particular hurry to end it either. "You got some time? Something I need to talk to you about." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Okay, now that was curious. Mason was usually so easy going there wasn't much of anything on his mind. He'd even been remarkably good about the whole "tried to eat you and lay eggs in your stomach" thing. "Hmm?" she asked. "Sure. What's on your mind?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	They sit down, and he sighs as he gathers his thoughts. "I... I want to go to college. In California. They're offering me a full ride, and it's one of the best molecular chemistry and physics schools in this hemisphere." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Okay, interesting. "Sounds like a pretty good offer," she said. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"It is. It really is. There's so much more I could do with my powers if I really expand my education. More than just be a part of Alpha Flight, not that that isn't awesome, of course. It's just going to be a lot of time away from the team... away from you." He pouts. "I don't want to be unfair to you, so.. I mean... if you can't deal with the distance..."

	"I'm a big girl, Mason. Got my princess panties and everything." Nim put an arm around him. "I'm not saying I wouldn't miss you. But you're worth waiting for. You're my Champion." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Mason leans his head on her shoulder. "I'll come back here whenever I can, of course, but... it's just gonna be a big change." He groans. "And a lot of jokes about 'ey', poutine, and maple syrup." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Don't forget the hockey and unflappable politeness," Nim corrected him. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Nah, the whole thing with the Ducks made hockey more reasonable to them, which is really sad when you think about it, but we'll take what we can get." He kisses her forehead. "So you're not mad? If you want to take a break, I really do understand." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Nim leaned over, kissing on his neck for a moment. "California's not that far away, Mason. And there's Skype. We'll be fine." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Ungh. Girlfriend. Hee. :)

"Okay." He smiles, reaching for her hand for support. "Help me break the news to Alex and Mel once I confirm things with the admissions department?"

This is going to be good. He's going to be learning from some of the best minds in the field, have a whole new suite of options for ways to exercise his powers, and he'll be broadening his horizons in a new locale.

It's California. What's the worst that could happen?

	Nim took his hand, giving it a little squeeze. "Anything you want, sweetie." (Reply to this)(Parent)
