Yeah, him I guess.
*smiles at Mina* I picked that up in the way you talk, you have been spending time with Matt while you grew up, haven't you?

Yes. Penny for the pretty lady.
*sees her look of recognition*
*facepalms*
And before we go on, I must tell you to blame Uncle Steo for any and all Brit-icisms in my speech.
*Licks her lips, Daniels' warnings still ringing in her head*
Yes. Actually, I lived with you, dad, on and off. *hedges* Mainly through my studies. Was easier. though I still to this day do not know how you got him to agree to let me stay with you guys...

Your childhood must have been quite interesting...

You have no idea.
*smiles brightly*
But it was interesting. And fun.
*more truthfully*
You were very good parents. Unorthodox, but good. I never told you that before, but I wanted to say it. *licks lip nervously* Thankyou. For everything.

*smiles*
I guess with Steve and my other brothers adding to that, all you could do was to be this way.
Not girly. That's good.

Not girly. Well, I guess that's one way of putting it.
*studies them some more*
Oh, there's so much I feel we need to talk about. I don't know where to start

What happens, Mina?
*sees her startled jerk*
*looks her square in the eye*
Something happens to one or both of us, right? *presses* Something bad enough for you to come through time in a home made time machine to come find us again.
Care to tell us what it is?

*tries to lie*
NO, nothing happens. The machine put me here, who wouldn't take advantage to talk to their parents when they were young and...well, when they were young.

I don't buy that you would jump into that thing with it set on random. *smiles at her* I would hope I'd have taught you better than putting your trust in blind fate.
You came here for a reason. I'd like to know what that reason is, is all.

*feels the hot prickle of tears*
Don't cry. Don't cry. You never cried in front of him before, don't you dare start now
Nothing happened. And if that's all, I think I'd like to try and get some rest.
*stands*
*kisses dad's cheek without thinking*
*hugs her mother tightly, not letting her see her face*
Goodnight
*fairly flees*

*frowns as Mina flees*
*is sarcastic* Congratulations. You made her run away.

Aren't you the little bit curious as to what drove her into the past?
*shakes head*
No, of course you're not.
*rubs head*
If you'll excuse me, I'm feeling a bit tired myself.
*bows stiffly, laying on the formality with a trowel*
Goodnight.

She came to see me.
Reply
And have you ever considered that she came here to see you because she can't see you there?
*looks at her plainly*
Goodnight Chris. Sleep well.
Reply
I have. That's why I've been hesitant to ask plainly. She's got your stubborn head in some parts. We just need some time to get it out of her.
Carefully.
*is tired, her back aching like crazy for the last hour*
Goodnight, Matt.
