Just another day in the big ol' crazy city. Too many people in too much of a hurry to get to too many places. Or at least that's what they claimed. Far as Gage could tell they were all just running around in circles like chickens with no head. That was city folk for ya though. This week had been particularly worse what with that big ol' fair being in full swing. The streets were just rotten with cars and people migrating too and fro with nigh a scrap of patience or coordination between the two. He s'pposed he could see why the city goers were so ornery now that he'd gotten more than a simple taste of their daily lives. Having to wait in traffic certainly wan't any picnic. 'specially if ya had some where ya needed to be say fifteen minutes ago, like picking up yer little girl from school for instance. Gage hated it. These roads were nothin' like the wide open dirt lanes of the country side. Out there a man could let loose have a bit of a lead foot with out the law breatin' down yer neck and be more than on time for yer sweet daughter. Just the though of his baby waitin' on him poured gas on the fire. Hell he coulda been there faster on Wilder than the miserable progress he'd made in his old pick up. He'd ridden the horse plenty a time, but folks always looked at him queer when he did. Had they looked in a mirror?
Another five minutes of painfully inching down the street and Gage was finally able to break free from the bulk of traffic. It hadn't taken too long after that to arrive at the little elementary school his daughter attended. "You're late Mr. Bennet." the teacher sighed pushing the sign out sheet towards him. "Pardon me fer the delay miss, that ther' traffic was a nightmare." he apologized to the teacher while signing the sheet. She nodded understandingly knowing well enough how that went. Plus he hadn't been the only parent to arrive late that day either. "Papa!" the little girl squealed with joy throwing herself into the man's arms. He caught her naturally and spun about in the air once, "Hey there beautiful, how's my lil' star today?" Gage smiled hugging her close, she giggled brightly and returned the embrace. "Ya had me worried there Pa, figured ya done got lost out there." she teased giving him a peck on the cheek. The teacher smiled at the happy reunion of father and daughter.
"You know Mr. Bennet, there is a way you could make up for being tardy." She interjected drawing the pair's attention. The two of them were so alike, same brown hair, same hazel eyes and the same little beauty mark beneath the left eye. "Ya gonna give my papa some homework miss?" Novalee giggled at the thought squirming out of his arms. He let her slide down gently dropping on to the floor. "What'd ya have in mind miss?" Gage questioned more than a little obligated to make amends. 'Well Mr. Bennet, if you could just deliver this weeks lessons to another student I'd be more than willing to forgive today's little discretion. As I understand it Novalee is good friends with Kohaku?' At the mention of the other student, the little girl started jumping and nodding excitedly. Was that all he needed to do? Well that certainly wasn't much too ask of him in the least. "Oh can we Pa?! Can we go see Kohaku? It's been like days." his daughter pleaded tugging on his arm eagerly. Though she was probably exaggerating about it being days, how could he deny that sweet face? Nodding in agreement, Gage ruffled the little girl's hair, "You got yerself a deal there miss."
Thankfully the kid's place was out of the fray of all that damn fair traffic so it hadn't taken all that long to drive there like it had been earlier to get to the school. Walking up to the door he reminded Novalee to mind her manners that even though she'd be seeing her friend, Mr. Tamaki wasn't well. The little girl nodded her bright hazel eyes wide and innocent with understanding. Tapping politely Gage waited for an answer hoping they weren't disturbing the man too much. If there wasn't one, well then he would just slip the lesson folder under the door and contact him later.
