The trip to IASA had been...well, John had left frustrated and annoyed but constantly being recognized as a Crichton and getting asked every other minute about his dad got a little trying after awhile. He hadn't gone there to give updates on his retired hero of a father. DK had eventually dragged him out of there and told them they'd go on another day.
The frustration from that trip was still sitting on John's shoulders while he hunched over the kitchen table and tried to work on some theories and equations for one of his physics classes. Yes, he'd been taking summer classes. Yes, they were pretty much over but he was still trying to keep his mind sharp since he was heading into his third year of school and nothing was getting easier. The equations and numbers were all bleeding together and John blinked a few times to try and clear his head.
"Forget this," he mumbled and got up to wander into the living room where Talyn was sitting on the couch, happily watching some kind of cartoon. John flopped down beside him and sighed.
Talyn giggled happily and crawled onto his dad's lap without hesitation. The frustration ebbed away slowly and once Talyn was comfortable, John just smiled and relaxed.
