Finding Ida's sister

In the hall Sheena glances back at the others, still standing partly in view of the door, while whispering to Alex. "Liza met all them last night and they brought her home or something, and the girl, Ida, her sister disappeared so Liza's going back in time to find her. Or something. I don't know about these other guys, they're just...here."
 
"Eh," muttered Jason from his corner. He couldn't really disclaim that he was just tagging along; he was really just there for the food.


And he was, indeed, ravenous. Do... Do immortals even eat? he thought, grimacing.
 
Macal: *Turns to Jason* We don't need to eat to live like mortals do, but we enjoy taste, and develop cravings for certain foods, I have a thing for puddling my friend it was blueberry pie, another it's tea..But seeing I'm no longer immortal I guess including myself in this group was a mistake.
 
"Woah, what-" Jason grabbed the armrest as if standing up. "You didn't just seriously read my mind."


He sighed and collapsed back onto his seat. "Really, I shouldn't even be surprised," he muttered to himself.
 
*Liza shakes her head* "Only my daddy can do that. I can only if I try real real hard. But I can go in minds. And I came outta my mama's mind."
 
(Actually didn't realize he was thinking that, but against unprotected or trained minds Macal can still pick up surface thoughts)


I'm sorry I didn't mean to intrude into your mind, since I'm no longer a god of war, what powers I do still have tend to do what they want. I promise it won't happen again.
 
"Uh, then thanks," said Jason, uncertain. He wondered if he should ask about a meal while he had a chance... But then again, the mind-reader would have already known. Shrugging mentally, he flipped open his notebook.
 
Well considering I just got home I think I'm gonna get something to eat, what do you all say we move this conversation to the kitchen I could use a sandwich.
 
*Faith follows, with Liza sliding off your lap, and joins Sheena and Alex, who step back, Sheena trying again not to stare at Grin's smoking eyes*
 
"Sure-" said Jason, a bit too eagerly, and strode over to the table where the Cords were heading. As an afterthought, as he took a seat, he said, "Thanks."
 
"Uh- well-" Jason froze. He could have lied, but he had already hesitated; but then again, should he still do it? Or maybe the truth was better? Then he realized that Macal had probably already mind-read the truth- then he remembered that he had promised not to do so- then he was just going to say "yes" but by that time the silence had stretched far too long for anything of the sort.


"Eh," he said, and opened his notebook. Like always.
 
Alex: *Watching Jason with his note book and starts laughing* Do you write everything down? Cause I get the feeling you must have a library of notebooks, probably hard to carry around. *I glance down at my data pad a device capable of holding entire libraries of data, then at Macal who gives me a smile and nod. Pulling my data stip out and putting in a blank one, I slide it across the table to Jason* Try this I'm sure it will be easier to carry.


*At this time one of the servants comes in with a platter of stuff to make sandwiches another follows with a tray of ice tea*


Macal: Everyone help yourself and don't be shy there is plenty for all.


(Just hit me that the Cords live on a private island where they built a town and only invited guest are allowed on the island, so I guess all this would be happening at one of their vacation homes. LOL)
 
(guess so lol) *Sheena takes this as a definite yes from Jason and nods slightly* Well...I mean, it's okay. I was too. And Faith, actually, a long time ago. *Liza is more cheerful now that she's picked some food to eat and openly looks at Grin*


"Do you feel better now?"
 
Macal: *I keep making sandwiches and sliding them towards Jason* Being homeless is not something I can relate to but when I was just about over the hump of my first century I was part of an elite unit and we would be away from home for decades living in the very hostile wilderness.(cool I can post on my phone :) . )
 
Jason said "Thanks" to Alex, not sure what he was receiving. Examining the data pad, he almost didn't notice the servant or the Cords' condolences. "Uh, what is it?" he asked Alex, turning it around in his hands.
 
Sheena: He takes notes on that thing all the time. Not everyone understands your tech geek stuff, Alex. *teasing; she looks back at Jason, still trying to in her own way ease him* I was for like, six years. On and off.
 
Liza, watching Jason, pipes up "I can read."


Faith is getting restless, looking between everyone, and says, "So...what do you two need help with? Grin and Jason?"
