Who: Calvin, Ciri
When: Late night
Where: The apartment
What: A chat about Tad
Calvin: *Walks in, smile on his face.* Ciri! I'm back!
Ciri: Hi! *is sitting on the sofa with a glass of water*
Calvin: How is my beautiful wife and unborn son? *Walking over, he leans over the back of the couch and kisses her cheek*
Ciri: We are thirsty. He wants more to drink and I had five glasses!
Calvin: Five? Whoa. *Laughing, he runs his fingers through Ciri's hair* I'm not sure how many you can drink!
Ciri: I will turn into water and not a tree!
Calvin: But I like my tree-wife.
Ciri: I will be your tree wife still. *kisses him*
Calvin: Good. *Kisses her back* I have something to ask your opinion on.
Ciri: What is it?
Calvin: It's about Tad. I'm worried for him.
Ciri: Why? Is he in trouble?
Calvin: I don't think so. But he has no family here and I don't think he's been making many friends his age considering most of the students here are well above fifteen. There's that one little girl, but the other students he knows seem to be troublemakers.
Ciri: What can we do?
Calvin: I'm not sure. I don't know his family situation. But.... *Sighing, he paces before coming up to sit beside her* What do you think about...taking him under our wings?
Ciri: You mean teaching him things?
Calvin: Yeah. But I mean a little more than that...
Ciri: What do you mean?
Calvin: I don't know if "adopt" is the right word...but I don't feel right with his situation.
Ciri: He has a woman looking after him though.
Calvin: Lucile?
Ciri: Yes.
Calvin: Well....
Ciri: I am not sure it is official.
Calvin: I don't think it is...but I don't know. I just worry for the kid.
Ciri: If we take him in, will he stay in the apartment?
Calvin: Well, that's where my second topic comes in. *Smiling, he holds up two fingers.* Since we're having Onyx, I thought he would need his own room anyway. What if we moved into one of the larger apartments on campus?
Ciri: That sounds good! And Tad can have his own room too!
Calvin: *Grins* You don't mind? I don't know what kind of legal work we have to put into this. If we ever wanted to adopt him, I don't know if we could.
Ciri: We must ask the director and ask Tad if he wants to stay with us.
Calvin: Yeah. *Nodding, he leans back comfortably with a sigh* He's a good kid.
Ciri: I like making him smile.
Calvin: He's cute when he smiles.
Ciri: Can you ask Nox? I think I will ask Tad.
Calvin: *Nods* Sure thing.
Calvin: Don't ask him just yet. I'll need to talk with Nox about it and I'm not sure when I can get ahold of him. Busy guy.
Ciri: All right. I will wait until you are ready.
Calvin: *Kisses his cheek* I love you, Ciri.
Ciri: I love you too! Our family is growing.
Calvin: I'm glad. I kind of like the idea of a big family.
Ciri: Me too. I cannot wait now.
Calvin: We'll be a forest of our own.
