Homecoming and Court Appearance
A year and a half he'd been flying around space in Dad's figurative Invisible Sidecar. It had been a great time, but eventually a guy's got to go home. For about five figurative minutes before heading to the other home. The one were you couldn't tell how much the courtiers were sighing inside at the sight of you. How they regretted that Princess Nita had felt compelled to marry surface, had brought another peach-colored kid into the royal house.

But hey, this was still home, and family, and he wasn't an embarrassment to anybody. He could even do formality when he tried. hard.

It was announced to Namor that his youngest cousin, Mr. Mackenzie Rider, was here.

	"It's been a year," she shrugged. As Marrina came into view, she waved at her. "Marrina! We have more relatives!" She looked at Mac. "Yes, the blue is natural." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Marrina blinked her dark eyes in surprise, but took it all in stride as she took the hand.. "A pleasure," she said. She did the math in her head. "You're Namorita's son then?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"It is," she agreed, even if the government had been willing to send them up the river during that frame up business. "Do you think you'll be back on Earth for a while now?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Yeah. After a little bit here, I think I'm going to head surfaceways, though. New York." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
