Test thread: Coming home.
The airline staff were helpful and the other passengers had cleared efficiently. That was always nice. Once they'd gotten her into her own chair again, she could finally get moving.

And move she did. It felt good, but getting home where she could actually get around for real was going to feel better.

She looked around for Dad or anyone of the Xavier's gang he might have sent to meet her if something'd come up..

	Lucas had checked to make sure he couldn't mistake her. Her father had been so looking forward to this, but had to briefly be away. He'd been happy to volunteer to come along instead to make sure there was an ample party from Xavier's to welcome her home. As the wheelchair is brought up, he steps forward to offer to help with the chair. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	The End of the World wouldn't have kept Cait from being here. It seemed like Sylvie had been gone forever when it had only been a year. Cait waited as patiently as possible for Sylvie to deboard, but once she finally spotted her she stepped forward. "Sylvie!" Cait was all smiles. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"CAIT!" Sylvie declared gleefully, stopping the chair to extend Cait a hand -- one of the upper ones, she was being good and wearing longer pants to cover the lower ones as a courtesy to strangers today. She looks to Lucas, still grinning. "Person To Whom I Obviously Need To Be Introduced!" She declares almost as enthusiastically. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Lucas Moonstar, its a pleasure, Miss McCoy. Your father sends his apologies - he's been unavoidably called away to D.C., but promises he'll be back tomorrow." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	This was Sylvie. There was no handshaking. She hugged one of her oldest friends. "It's so good to see you. I've missed you." She released Sylvie. "Lucas is Dani's son. Jimmy Proudstar's as well. So another legacy brat." Cait grinned. "We've had a few new additions since you've been gone." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"The pleasure's mine, Mr. Moonstar!" She says warmly.

"Mmph!" Sylvie hugged gladly and firmly. "Careful, Cait, you'll frighten the public with your rough treatment of the obvious invalid," she said, completely failing to keep a straight face.

"Can't wait to meet them all! I'll have a devil of a time catching up, but it was worth it. I was long enough in France to pronounce 'Fer-de-Lance' with a hatred of all things Anglo-Saxon, and long enough in Barthelona that I think I have a lithp. But let's get home, for goodness sake."

"Lucas, please." he replies, pausing just briefly over Cait's introduction of his parentage. Technically correct, at least, even if he usually considers James Proudstar more donor than father.

"I'm sure it won't take you long to catch up, and you should have no shortage of people to help out. Your father and Cait weren't the only ones enthused about your return, just the most hyper."

"Invalid my butt," she snorted. "You could kick my butt and get me turned around ten times before I even got a hit in on you." Cait went to the back of the chair to push it and make it easier for Sylvie. "I should warn you. Rufus manifested and is going to be staying with us. Corey is still an artiste and still all about goats and sheep. Lucas here is dating Moira."

Sylvie nods and smiles at Lucas. "Sylvie, thank you." If she notices the weird expression briefly on Lucas's face, she doesn't mention, but neither will she ever mention his father lightly if she can help it.
"And I'm glad to hear it."

"Oh my, a full house of Drakes. Someone keep the defibrillator near Uncle Scott. And you wouldn't have Corey any other way and you know it."
She looks to Lucas. "Good for you and Moira. I got some garbled news through the grapevine a while back about Danielle's problem. Are they holding up okay?"

Sylvie's fine with help, of any necessity or lack thereof, as long as they get going and get home.

Lucas is back to himself within a second or two at most, and helping as much with the chair as Cait will permit.
"Danielle is holding up fantastically. Their family is in town, and that seemed to help a lot. I'm also working on a couple possible alternate means to temporarily relieve some of the issue, at least. Thank you though, its only been a few months, but she's a wonderful girl."

	"Would you believe Rufus is a pyrokinetic? And no Captain Planet jokes, either," Cait warned. "I think Uncle Scott had minor heart attack when Rufus manifested the other day. The look on his face was priceless. Dad collapsed in a fit of laughter." "They're adorably cute together," Cait said and winked at Lucas. "Lucas here is also an amazing cook."

	quadrimanial 2009-12-22 09:30 am UTC (link)
	"Oh, that's great," she tells Lucas, smiling. "A Pyrokinetic, that's...that's just too perfect." Sylvie faux-frowns as Cait continues. "First you deprive me of the Captain Planet jokes, now you're trying to get me all covetuous." Pause. "You don't have anyone for me to covet, do you?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He can't help but blush a little. "I'm really not that good. Cait and Corey are both great around the kitchen, but I'm sure you knew that." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"He's really good," Cait said. "Me? No. Still single. No boyfriends to speak of, unless you want to count Misha who I married when we were little." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"They're certainly much better than I am, but then I stopped trying very hard after discovering what a bad idea it is to try to stand on the oven door handle while working the stove." Pause for effect. "There may have been something of a mess." Sylvie then listens to Cait and laughs. "Ah, but who didn't?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	dream_catcher 2009-12-22 09:43 am UTC (link)
	He grins at the mental image that brings up. "Ok, that makes some sense. And I'm getting the idea that Misha being the one boy up for playing house made that a common occurance. As for Cait and the boys, I'm sure one of them will come to their senses before too long." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	_tsunami_ 2009-12-22 09:44 am UTC (link)
	"Yeah, Misha was one of the very few boys around when we were young. He married all of us." Cait smiled at the memory. "Us? Drakes? Come to our senses? It'll never happen!" They made their way rather quickly through the airport. It didn't take too long to get to baggage claim. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	quadrimanial 2009-12-22 09:48 am UTC (link)
	"IT did indeed." Sylvie grinned and winked. "I think he means all those non-Drake boys intimidated by the trilingual aquatic powerhouse." "Mine's the pink one." She says as the luggage starts. "I'm sure you're shocked. Try to tell me that's not easy to spot" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Naw. The only chance for one of us to date is Rufus. Corey's too into his art and me, I'm going to be too busy with the Coast Guard. Right now Rufus is too intent on raising hell." "Gee. Pink. Who would have thunk it?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"The Coast Guard? Absolutely perfect for you!" "Thousands of flamingos can't be wrong, Cait. Why, thank you, Lucas," she adds as he's acquired it. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Mom and Dad didn't like the fact that I'm quitting school to join, but they weren't too upset." "She's loved pink since she was about two. I want to hear about your trip too. It had to be awesome. The only place I've been to in Europe was when we all went to Rome." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"I certainly like to think I do."

"If they didn't completely panic, I'd call it a win. Your dad, if you ask me, doesn't like surprises quite as much when they happen to him." She says it with great affection, obviously.

"Oh, it was awesome. I did a little time in Rome, too -- obviously not the same time, or I'd have been there to show you around. Favorite thing there, oddly enough, was probably seeing the Oratory of Saint Silvia, after which, if you ask my Mom, I was named. If you ask my Dad, I was named after Sylvia Avery, although whether from the original song or the Bon Jovi cover, he's never specified."

	"You do," Cait assured her. "If you two will wait here, I'll go bring the van around." Cait didn't give them time to object and started toward the doors to the parking garage. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Yeah, probably so." "Wait we will, then," Sylvie says, fingers tapping a bit at the arms of her chair. (Reply to this)(Parent)
