"Deal!" Calypso held he hard out for a shake. "I bet she's a nerd just like him. One that is skinny and little just like him!" She laughed "You're so going down!"
"You both are terrible. I bet she's a pretty girl."Nova said giving both of them a scorn filled look. "And no I don't mean I want in on this. I am just saying your brother is capable of getting a normal girlfriend."
"Ha! A pretty girl would go for a hot guy, someone like Gal, and well Sebastian isn't hot. He's a dorky loser." Calypso said with a grin.
~ ~ ~ ~
Torin gave another sweet smile and a longing glance. "It's my own fault really. I didn't want my stuff to go through mass production. I believe if it did, it would lose it's appeal because everyone had it. So any thing I make, only say, five thousand copies get made." Torin smiled. "So I am constantly making new clothing to have produced. I do get out and meet people, go places, but not for long."
~ ~ ~ ~
Cella gasped, that certainly hadn't been what she had meant! "Master Farin!" She leaned over him, worry etched into her face. "I'm sorry! Are you ok?"

Galileo shook his sister's hand with a laugh then turned to face Nova. "Ma. I know you'll always see him as your baby, but come on, he's a dork and he's scrawny and nerdy. Good-looking girls don't really go for that. They go for guys who are hot and treat them like dirt."
---
"I'm sure you could make more fun of it than that. Maybe just take more time to yourself. I mean, don't you ever just go somewhere or do something to get inspired?" Tavra laughed, "Not that I would really know, I have about as much creativity in me as twentieth century search engine."
---
"Yeah. remind me to kill her when I can feel my legs again." Farin grunted. He dropped his head again, but turned it to the side to face her. "You don't have to stay here, Cel. Go do something."

"Exactly mom!" Calypso nodded her head in agreement. "Us pretty girls like bad boys. We like them even more when their beef cakes."
"I hope you're not looking for a boyfriend Calypso." Nova gave her daughter a stern look. "You're too young to be worrying with men. Their nothing but bad news."
"Oh come on mom." Calypso sighed, like she hadn't already heard this before.
~ ~ ~ ~
Torin shook his head with a sigh. "No, I don't hardly ever need inspiration. I have about two dozen designs in my head at anyone time." Torin leaned back in the seat. "I just work, work, work all day. I miss the fun." He turned his head to give him a look over.
~ ~ ~ ~
"I don't think that's possible." Cella said with a small smile "My legs went to sleep. I don't think I can stand any more then you could Master Farin." Cella sighed and brushed some of Farin's lose hair back. "Do you want to try to make it to bed Master?"

"What makes you think you can talk on behalf of pretty girls?" As a full-fledged member of the family, Galileo partook fully in the teasing that was prominent among all of the family members.
---
"You shouldn't do work that isn't fun." Tavra smiled, "I can't imagine trying to get through a day of my job if I didn't at least like it." He shrugged, "Then again I have a lot of leisure time, so I wouldn't be able to complain even if I did hate the political crap."
---
Farin grunted. "Yeah, I don't see that happening."

"Because I am pretty." Calypso said with full confidence. "Any boy would be lucky to have me. But sadly for your pitiful male species. I am not looking." Calypso turned her head up looking down her nose "Men suck."
"That's my girl. Keep thinking that way until you're married." Nova laughed to herself. "Well dinner is ready kiddies. Come and get it."
"I'm not hungry mom." Calypso said walking to the stares that lead up to the bedrooms. "I think I might just go to bed."
~ ~ ~ ~
"Don't get me wrong. I love my work. I'd never be able to do anything else." Torin blinked innocently again. "So what about you? You're a politician?"
~ ~ ~ ~
Cella sighed, the tingling was coming back in her legs. "Then please sleep some more." She said hoping her brother would find them soon. He could carry Farin to bed. Though he'd probably have to carry her back to.

"She's trying to starve so she won't have such a big a**. If I needed to eat, Ma. I totally would." Galileo sat back more comfortably.
---
"More or less." Tavra shrugged. "I work from home mostly though, except for an occasional session. Usually that's about once a week." He smiled. "Most work is from home, or wherever else I felt like going."

"Calypso, darling. It's not healthy to miss meals." Nova said stopping in the door way to the kitchen.
"I said I'm not hungry." The young girl said glaring dagger at the android before darting up the stairs to her bedroom.
With a large sigh Nova turned to look at Galileo. "Well, will you at least keep me company while I eat? I know I'm an old lady,, but I'd rather not feel like and lonely old lady." Sure she wished she had a husband to keep her company from time to time. But for the most part she didn't mind just her and the kids.
~ ~ ~ ~
"Oh." Torin smiled and turned his head to look out the window as everything floated by. "Sometimes I wish I was more like my brother, brave and adventures. I would like to see more one day." He turned back to smile at his companion. "So where all have you been?"

Galileo smiled and nodded. "Sure thing, Ma." He pat the table in front of him. "Sit. Enjoy. Now at least you have good news to drink to, am I right?"
---
Tavra shrugged. "The whole Anaxatarian empire, a few places on the outskirts. Got a friend with a planet a few ways away, I've been around that galaxy. I never make much of my travels. Mostly it's business. Not to mention, well, I never remember half of them." He shook his head rather quickly, ready to change the subject. "But that's a story for another day."

Nova nodded and grabbed a plate of food before sitting down with the man. "Yes. I am so happy I could drink myself to death. But I don't think that would be such a good idea." Nova lifted a bite to her mouth and chewed before speaking again. "I wonder what's up with Cal. She's been skipping dinner alot recently."
~ ~ ~ ~
Listening to the soft voices coming from down stairs Calypso packed a small bag, her drawing basics. Walking quietly to her bedroom window she slid it open and very carefully stepped out onto the roof. Making her way silently as possible she made it to a large tree like plant and grabbed a branch and monkeyed her way down to the ground.
A quick glance around assure Calypso no one was watching. Setting off she made her way through the town to a local park. Night had set in, and all the wonders of the planet had began to show up. There were strange glowing creatures the flew around, and near by planets became visible. With a large sigh Calypso sat on a bench and drew her electronic drawing pad.
~ ~ ~ ~
"Will there be another day?" Torin asked sitting up to look at the man squarely in the eyes. "Because I don't think I mentioned one." He leaned in, not caring anything about personal space. "I'm all about the here and now." Torin moved in close enough that when he talked his lips would brush the politicians mouth.

Galileo shurgged. "I don't know. Maybe you need to have like a girly heart-to-heart with her? I mean, it would be bad if she decided to starve herself. But it would be worse if she was doing something stupid with all of her time alone. Maybe she's doing drugs, that usually changes your behavior dramatically. Or maybe she's pregnant."
---
"Uhm..." Tavra's eyes lowered as he found just how close the other man had gotten to him. "You're rather bold for a hermit. And I never said I was gay."
---
Michaels had finally found the strength to roll out of the bed, and only because of the gripping hunger pains from his stomach. He rolled without enough effort from his legs, however, and fell onto the floor. He was just standing up when the bedroom door opened and Titania walked in. He gave her all of the sheepish smile he could muster and shrugged, "Morning."
Titania just shook her head and smiled. "Why are you up? Hungry? Come on, let's go get you some food." She offered an arm out to escort him to the kitchen. "Now, did we learn a lesson about drinking with Farin?"
"Did we ever." Micahels took the offered arm and with a free hand rubbed the sleep from his eye.

"If she's pregnant I will choke the life out of the babies father. I swear it." Nova took another bite trying not to think about her daughter having a sexual relationship of any kind. "I tried to talk to her once already. But she just gives me the look and an annoyed 'Moooom'. What ever is wrong with her, she doesn't feel like sharing."
~ ~ ~ ~
"I'm no hermit. I'm too well dressed for that." Torin slid back an scant inch. "If you're not gay then why are you wearing some of my designer boots?" He asked with a small smile "Even if you're not. I can still give a good time with out you having to raise a finger." He cocked a brow in a suggestive manor.

Galileo shrugged, "Maybe there's nothing wrong with her. Teenagers, sometimes, well, they're just more about keeping to themselves. I mean, look at Sebastian he ran halfway across the universe just to 'live by his own rules'. You know, I really hope he's grown up since then."
---
Silence overtook the back of the shuttle for a long moment before Tavra put up a finger, to signal to the man a short wait. He then lifted the other hand to close off the window between the cockpit and the back seats. After they were completely secluded he turned his head to face the other man. "You were saying?"

"He must have grown up some, he has a girlfriend now." Nova felt compelled to point out. "But Sebastian never went thought this. It's like Calypso doesn't want anyone bothering her any more. I talk to her, and she doesn't give me a second of her attention."
~ ~ ~ ~
Torin grinned and slid into the man's lap. "Say, your job has you you using your mouth alot, right? That must mean it's pretty talented. How about you show me?" He didn't wait for an answer, slipping and arm around his neck Torin leaned in to steal a kiss.
~ ~ ~ ~
Rockwell had been left alone. He was beyond bored and began to wonder the ship, it didn't take him long to find Cella with Farin passed out in her lap. "Cella?"
"Oh!" She said softly, startled by her brother's sudden appearance. "Rockwell?"
"What are you doing?" Rockwell asked walking over and leaning down, not bothering to be quite.
"Can I ask you to carry Master Farin to bed? He needs his rest." She asked her voice just barely over a whisper.
With a small grunt Rockwell nodded. He could tell his sister was uncomfortable on the ground like that, not that the a** Farin noticed or cared. Leaning down Rockwell managed to lift Farin from the ground. "Come on Cella. You need your rest as much as the drunk here."
"My legs are alseep." Cella sad stifly moving her legs to stretch them out infront of her. "Take him to bed, I'll be right behind you."

"He was never like this because he would speak to you, but it didn't mean he listened." Galileo gave the woman a soft smile in return. "But I bet you're right. I mean, he's an adult now. I can't really imagine Sebastian ever being any bigger but, miracles happen, right?"
---
Tavra shrugged it off in his head. He certainly wouldn't have even established the privacy if he didn't expect this. And he wouldn't deny the man's claims. He was rather talented with his mouth. Now it was just...time to prove it.

Nova chuckled. "Yes I suppose. But I don't think he's ever going to be big, his father wasn't a big man." She looked down at her plate as if lost in old memories, before she shook them away. "But, us yes. He must have grown some. Maybe mentally if nothing else."
~ ~ ~ ~
((We know what happens))
Torin wasn't thrilled when he had to get redressed in the back of the shuttle. It wasn't exactly a large amount of space. But he was in a great mood, having had just gotten lucky. "I still owe you something. If you'll give me an address. I can send you your gift when I'm done with it."
