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!"

There's movement under the blankets and a face eventually peeked over the edge of the covers. Was it morning already? It had taken forever to get Zoey to sleep with all the sugar she had been given and then Syd had laid awake thinking about what she overheard. Add a strange room to the mix and it didn't allow for much sleep.

She knew Daniel had made sure he talked to Simon within Syd's earshot.

"What time is it? Please tell me Ohu didn't get a lightsaber."

	He recovers, unaware Syd knows anything. "No, But you have a day off and I've already booked it." He puts the skates down at the end of the bed. "Rockefeller Center. I'm teaching you and the kid how to skate." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

She pushed the covers back and sat up a little bit, not thinking that she was only in a tank top and underwear. She blinked and stared at the skates. "Ice skating?" Another blink. Okay, she should have expected something like this after the conversation last night, but she didn't think it would be this soon.

She shook off some of the sleep still clinging to her. "Where is Zoey?" Syd would have expected her daughter to have been bouncing on the bed by now.

"Jarvis is doing what he does, which means all you an eat waffles and polite conversation until you get ready." Nope, he's not going to notice there's no bra on and he can see a lot of breast in the cold morning air. Nope. Does not exist now. Maybe later it can in the privacy of his own room and thoughts, but not right now.

"Yes, this I've had planned for awhile. It took me about two months to find a free day for you." The bet is hanging over his head. Daniel wanted no kid, but Daniel can take his assessments to Yancy street and drop them off with the uncollected trash. "This is me showing you the city. After skating, there's the Met and if Zoey gives me the 'I'm bored' speech, I'll take her to the Statue of Liberty while you tour the Met."

She knew exactly why he was doing it and knew it wasn't planned, but it was still a sweet gesture. Play along or he'll know you know and overheard the conversation last night and then she wouldn't be able to even look at him.

"That's...it's really sweet of you, but you really don't have to make this much of an effort. I'm sure there's friends and teammates you'd like to catch up with." Give him a chance to back out of doing this for the bet.

	Ironically enough, he did have this planned, but...eh. "No, not really. I want to show you and Zoey the city. I don't know when I'll have a chance to do this again...and the kid is already wound up, so..." He gets up. "Meet you at the waffle buffet." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Okay. I'll be down in five minutes," she said. It was easy to get ready when one didn't worry about makeup or all that other stuff. She'd humor him today. She'd hate to see him lose a bet and it wasn't like she had anything else planned for the day. There was a part of her that was curious about how he was going to be all day.

	Charitable of you Syd...considering the alternative involve Jedi Knight Ohu. Late that day, he holding her hand as they et on the ice. Zoey is, of course, a natural. Syd? Not so much. "Relax, Sydney." He doesn't have his trademark shades. Oddly enough, he's less recognizable without them, despite his red eyes. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sydney_ashcroft 2010-01-06 10:22 am UTC (link)
	"Relax? My a...butt is still hurting from the first time I fell and you want me to relax?" She tried to skate, really, but it just wasn't coming together for her. Zoey had taken to it with little problems. Left. Right. Trip and start to fall. Well she had some sort of rhythm going. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Both of them are on their feet, and both come over. He lets Syd calm her but he...doesn't know what exactly to do except stop the kid. "Get back here!" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Zoey!" Syd was at her daughter's side and pulled her into her arms. "What happened? What hurts?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	team_mascot 2010-01-07 02:23 am UTC (link)
	"My arm!" she cried. "That kid tripped me!" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	The kid that tripped Zoey skated across the rink toward his mother as fast as possible. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Which means he knows he's guilty. Simon catches up and becomes a wall in front of the kid. "You know, when you're caught and an adult says stop, you might want to consider stopping." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	The kid just stood there and stared up at Simon. The kid's mother rushed over to them. "What is going on here? What are you doing to my son? He didn't do anything wrong!" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sydney_ashcroft 2010-01-07 08:12 pm UTC (link)
	Oh this was not good. "Come on, sweetheart. Let's go help Simon," she said to Zoey and helped her up. "Then we'll go see a doctor about your arm." Very carefully they skated over to Simon and the boy's mother. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Might want to tell your son, ma'am, that it's not right to push little girls." Simon his keeping his arms folded, and his eyes squarely on the kid. "From the look on his face, I think he already knows that, but it won't hurt." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	pop_trash_hero 2010-01-09 05:04 am UTC (link)
	He exhales. "I am so sorry, Syd. I should have been out there on the ice with her." He wanted one good day to get it out of his system. This wasn't how he expected things to end up. He wouldn't dare sink into thinking he was jinxed, but the thought crossed his mind. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He silent for a long moment, just letting the assurance filter in. "Aslief should wave her hand and fix it when we get back." He smiles thinly. "Zoey has her wrapped around her finger." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sydney_ashcroft 2010-01-09 11:20 pm UTC (link)
	Syd smiled. "Zoey has all of us wrapped around her finger, not just Asleif. Zoey'll want everyone to sign her cast when we get out of here." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	pop_trash_hero 2010-01-09 11:29 pm UTC (link)
	"True." He looks at the clock. "Day is still young. I was going to take you to the Met and Zoey to the Statue of Liberty. Still up for that, or do we all head back?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
