lavandarlizard2Sorry; family crisis. >_<
Bit more of BFB. Maybe something else later. I have an interview workshop tomorrow and an interview on Wednesday, so I'm a bit... twitchy. O_o Enough so that I am popping peanut butter M&Ms... >_> Bad dragon; BAD!
“Look,” he said finally in an effort to interest Michael in something positive, “You said you were interested in forensics; that’s a good career. We have some forensics Wizards who handle the really tough things. You should start now, choosing classes to that end.”
“Yeah…” He brightened a bit. “I wonder what would be good… Chemistry, probably…” He frowned. “But what do you take to become a… a gun expert? Or a document person?”
“No idea, but I’ll bet your school counselor could help.” This was good; get his attention on something else and leave the leakage behind… They tossed ideas and suggestions back and forth for a bit, ignoring the current drama, and Michael got more into the idea of forensics as a career.
There was a more immediate matter that Duo should point out… but that would be circling back to the leakage. He sighed and decided it should be tackled anyway.
“Michael, you know that since the house has been sold, you’ll be moving…”
Michael blinked at him. “Oh. Oh, yeah… I almost forgot that part… I’ve always lived here… I was only two or three when Grandma Vee asked us to move here.” He sat back thoughtfully. “I wonder if we’ll have to live in an apartment… Damn. I’ll have to pack… What are we gonna do with all the furniture? The house is ginormous! And every room is furnished! Shit!”
“Remember that Ctik will have to have a new home too. I imagine he’d like to have some of the furniture.”
“But how will he get it? We don’t even know where he is! And he needs more earth and a crypt to keep his coffin in… He can’t live in an apartment! Can he?”
Duo laughed. “Heero and I will help him find a good place, and no, I doubt if he could live in an apartment. He’s staying at the Castle right now, but as soon as this end is complete, we’ll get busy on the other details. Don’t worry; Ctik will be okay.”
“Okay…” He shook his head. “I’m never going to see him again, am I?”
“Why wouldn’t you?” Duo asked in surprise.
“Well… because of Dad… Ctik won’t want anything to do with us.”
Duo chuckled. “You’d be surprised, Michael. I think Ctik cares a lot about his family. He’s not going to abandon you guys. Maybe just Miles.”

Date: 2008-10-14 12:31 am (UTC)Good luck with your interview. And as for the peanut butter M&M's?? Think of it this way. Peanut butter is full of protein and we all KNOW that chocolate is good for you. So...dig in!

*sigh* Peanut butter M&Ms and mint Hershey's Kisses are my absolute weaknesses. I'm scared to even think of what my blood sugar is doing, though. O_O

I can see this kid on CSI in a couple of years. ^^;
Good luck tomorrow! *hugs*
