RP: Fancy Seeing You Again
Who: Hyperion and Pandora (Open to Ewan making an appearance, as well)
When: [slightly backdated] Sunday, April 16, evening
Where: Pandora & Ewan's flat
What: Hyperion saw the pregnancy announcement and decided the time to act had come.
Warnings: It's Dora, so probably language, potentially some violence, but mostly TBD
Hyperion didn't have any plans for Easter. His mother wasn't doing anything for the family and everyone seemed to have their own things going on, so he planned to spend the day around his house to catch up on things that had piled up while he'd been busy at work through the week. Part of that involved scrolling through the network, one of the ways he kept tabs on certain people, including his family.
The announcement was only partially a surprise - he'd seen the rumor in the paper, after all - but the fact that she'd publicly acknowledged her pregnancy, that she and Ewan (he really wanted to know how they'd come back together after all these years!) seemed so genuinely happy, that she had finally seemed to find that balance in her life again... It had all the old feelings of guilt stirring in him, and Hyperion did not do well with guilt.
What really struck him was that he was going to be an Uncle. An Uncle! And yet, it felt like it would be in name only because, through his own refusal to face the past, he didn't have a relationship with his sister anymore. Perhaps it was high time he pulled his head out of his arse and faced her. Because there was a baby on the way, the first for their siblings, and he wanted to be involved. He wanted to make things right with Pandora. But most of all, he wanted his family to find a way to be as whole as they could be. It wouldn't be completely whole, not with Perseus long dead and their father missing, but it could be patched together.
Hyperion had always had a knack for going overboard, and this situation was no different. First, he apparated to several shops, his frustration mounting when they were closed for the day. Easter, right. Well, that was all right, he was resourceful, he could find a way to do what he wanted to do. And so, he went to his childhood home, not bothered by his mother's absence from it, and went through things until he found a couple stuffed bears. He took them home and worked his magic on them, transfiguring them to Panda bears, enlarging one of them to be the mama bear, and keeping the other at standard stuffed animal size. It was over the top and probably ridiculous, but he wanted to give a gift for the baby, and he hoped it could be an olive branch of sorts for his sister - not that he wasn't expecting a punch or hex from her just for the sheer fact of how long he'd stayed away, but no more. He would take what would come and push through it.
It was early evening by the time Hyperion left his home again, holding the panda bears with no shame whatsoever as he apparated to the building his sister and her fiance lived in. He made his way up to their flat and then knocked on the door, nervous about how she might respond, but hopeful that things would turn out all right in the end.
