Connor:"Yeah but what about if it turns out I am the Legacy?...What if I ended up being...."

he looks back inside at his father

"I can't stand to think of letting dad down...or you..."

Pockets Mon Feb 27, 2012 10:43 pm

Natalie: Thanks dad.

Alexis: What makes you think you would be a disappointment?

Cruel Britannia Mon Feb 27, 2012 10:47 pm

Alex: Just telling it like it is cutie-pie.

Jabberwocky Mon Feb 27, 2012 10:49 pm

Connor:"I don't know...I just...don't want to be one..."

Pockets Mon Feb 27, 2012 10:57 pm

Natalie: How do we know what the right answers to your tests are?

Alexis: I can't make up your mind for you, but to me and your dad you are no disappointment.

Jabberwocky Mon Feb 27, 2012 11:00 pm

A small smile forms in the corner of his mouth

Connor:"Thanks mom. I think I'm going to go do some reading before I turn in.."

Cruel Britannia Mon Feb 27, 2012 11:04 pm

Alex: Honesty.... and no shortcuts..... everyone makes mistakes sweetie..... I don't expect perfection.... but I do expect you to be brave enough to own up to your mistakes.... and face the consequences of those mistakes....

Connor walks back inside, catching the last of what his dad said to his sister. He his current read, Sun Tzu's The Art of War off the table and curls up on the loveseat, reading silently but out loud to himself

Connor:".... who advances without coveting fame and retreats without fearing disgrace, whose only thought is to protect his country and do good service for his sovereign, is the jewel of the kingdom....Hmm...."

Alexis watches Connor go, and smiles.

Alexis: Good night, Connor.

She looks over and watches Alex talking to Natalie.

Natalie: I think I get it....

Jabberwocky Tue Feb 28, 2012 5:33 am

Connor looks up from his book at his sister

Connor:"...It?"

Pockets Tue Feb 28, 2012 5:34 am

Natalie looks over, a little surprised to see her brother in his room.

Natalie: Dad's rules.

Jabberwocky Tue Feb 28, 2012 5:36 am

Connor:"I guess I can't really ask for a cheat sheet on that can I?
he smiles innocently

Pockets Tue Feb 28, 2012 5:37 am

Natalie smirks.

Natalie: You want to, go right ahead.

Jabberwocky Tue Feb 28, 2012 5:39 am

Connor:"Heh, pretty please with a cherry on top?"

Pockets Tue Feb 28, 2012 5:42 am

Natalie: Oh, from me? I thought you meant from dad.

Jabberwocky Tue Feb 28, 2012 5:44 am

Connor:"Oh...Umm....Well this could be an awkward situation don't you think...?"

Pockets Tue Feb 28, 2012 5:49 am

Natalie walks over to Connor.

Natalie: We're in an awkward situation... dunno if I've got a cheat sheet though. Just if we're caught anyway, don't try to avoid getting in trouble.

Jabberwocky Tue Feb 28, 2012 6:08 am

Connor:"Well I think not letting certain people talking us into stupid crap anymore would be a good start..."

Pockets Tue Feb 28, 2012 6:17 am

Natalie smirks.

Natalie: You mean like jumping fences, outrunning dogs and almost getting caught by the cops?

Jabberwocky Tue Feb 28, 2012 6:32 am

Connor:"No that part was fun, heh...I mean letting certain people talk us into going to certain things...like backwater fights in dingy bars..."

After a 20 mile run on the treadmill, Nicholas is drenched. He throws a towel over his head and sits on one of the weight lifting benches...

Nicholas: I did it again. Damn......

Cruel Britannia Tue Feb 28, 2012 12:12 pm

Mandy enters the gym, dressed for a late night workout.

Amanda: Oh hey Nicky fancy seeing you here..... hey..... what's the matter handsome?

Cryonix Tue Feb 28, 2012 12:15 pm

Nicholas looks up and sees his aunt. He smiles sadly and puts his head back down...

Nicholas: Hey, Aunt Mandy. I....wasn't thinking...and I...

His voice breaks a bit...

Nicholas: ....I didn't think it was a disgrace of the family...I....

Cruel Britannia Tue Feb 28, 2012 12:21 pm

Amanda runs over and hugs Nicholas tightly.

Amanda: Hey, hey, hey now..... what the hell are you talking about? My little Nicky's not a disgrace.....

Cryonix Tue Feb 28, 2012 12:24 pm

Nicholas opens his eyes and finds himself face to breast with his aunt. He blushes...

Nicholas: No...he was right. I...went to one of those throwdowns I read about in Great Aunt Nathalie's book....and....I didn't realize that it was hurting us instead of elevating us...

He mumbles to himself...

Nicholas: ............................speakingofelevation.........
