"'Kay. We're good." The hot chocolate won.

"Mmm, gooey globs of fake sugar? You can have mine for me."

Awwww yeah fake sugar! He'd shrug off her not taking his arm instead putting his hands behind his head as they headed toward the dorms!

"So, you and your family do anything for the holidays?" Considering what he's told her of his childhood before, she's assuming a yes.

No cringe or anything though. "Holidays have always been a big deal for my family. It was kind of weird not being there for Thanksgiving. I might take off for Christmas though." He didn't ask about hers though. He didn't know all of the details, but he knew she had some issues with her family. Back to Top   Eric Rebecca Jefferson Legend Defense Will it be you this time?

She's going by the fact he isn't cringing or making a big deal of it. "Big family, too?"

Sometimes some of the cousins will show up. But they like to have intimate family time to bond and reaffirm our affection." It sounded super lame to him, but he did like spending it with them.

She chuckles, hands in her pockets. "They'd probably be happy to see you, if you go."

It would probably relieve some of their stress. I know they freaked the fuck out after that rally was on the news. And I wasn't even there. I think they would shit bricks if I told them about the Legion Bots and the Nexus." Some things they were better off not knowing.

She doesn't say much after the rally gets mentioned, merely nodding and looking ahead with a small frown. "Yeah, I'd probably avoid that, too. This world alone is a lot to take care of, nevermind other ones." She glances at him. "Do you think they'd believe you about the dimensions?

She shakes her head. "Nah. Powers are just weird. Not to mention you looked like shit that day. That wasn't something small." She frowns, but shakes her head and lets her expression fade. "So are we going to have cups big enough to satiate your sugar craving, ro do I need to get you one for Christmas, too?"

He waved that away. "And I don't know. I mean, they will probably believe me. But they might not believe it. Does that make sense?"

Rebecca shakes her head. "You can pull anything you want out of a portal, but it won't be from me." Not to mention it's not often she spends money, but apparently the holidays count for an exception! "I think I understand." She nods. "It's a lot to wrap your head around, especially at first." A weak smile. "Families are good at that."

He seemed...not quite resentful. Maybe displeased? Or tired of expecting the same thing. That, she could relate to.

She shrugs, then frowns as her pace slows. She pulls her coat tighter around her. "I went to visit him a few days back." And had barely been seen even by her podmates that night and after. "May not be such a good idea."

His face fell. "Need to talk about it?" He'd ask as he opened the pod door. Back to Top   Eric Rebecca Jefferson Legend Defense Will it be you this time?

For once, it's not a yes. She's already talked about it twice to others; three times is almost too much. Then again, she trusts Eric more than anyone else here, and it would be nice just to say it without having advice in return. She slips off her boots as Eric shuts the door, heading towards the kitchen. "My dad's in town because he was at Warren's rally. He got caught in the explosion." She keeps the coat on, fingers running along the hem of it. "I was evacuating people until near the end. They'd cleared out. I never saw him or thought to look for him."

"Yeah, he was recovering just fine when I saw him. I guess he'll be there a bit longer though? I'm not sure how long they're keeping him. Or when he's going back." She grabs a couple of mugs while Eric works on the chocolate, but doesn't let go of them yet.
