Sunshine and Lollipops.

Vatar placed a kiss on his fiance's forehead as he stepped out the front door and into the bright yellow world that was gracing Manta Carlos today. Well, grace was a strong word really. He had no true love for days like these unless he was inside a nice air-conditioned area. Having spent over a year now working in a hot box of a store and smithy his body had learned to get over it and so he could carry a smile as he walked down the streets of Manta Carlos.

It had taken quite some maneuvering to get his wife to allow him to have lunch by himself but after a few date night promises she was more than okay with letting the two siblings spend some quality family time. That was his mission for today, bonding. Considering they had spent hundreds of years together this seemed like something that shouldn't be required but alas their lives had changed so much in their time here he believed it warranted a catching up of sorts. He had picked out a rather casual burger place by the park that he frequented after work. The food was a decent price and he wasn't one for extravagance anyway.

Having no wheels to call his own he had a pleasant walk to the place and even saw a few friends along the way. School would be starting back soon so those underclassman he had said goodbye to were in the city getting ready. It was a weird feeling being free of classes but he was more than happy to get his life started and join the Police academy. Walking into the burger place called "Sweet Taste" he greeted the waiter and had a booth by the window picked out where he usually ate. The style of the place was quite high class despite the price and clientele. Mostly because the owner's husband was a fashion freak and loved to pick out things for the place. Regardless everyone could be found wearing jeans, boots, a fedora, and other styles of clothing that one may not pair for the atmosphere. He was in usual black jeans and a black tank top with orange lines creating a hex pattern.

Waiting for his sister he orders some water and leaned back in the chair to play a phone game

"I should probably get the bacon burger today..." He mulled over aloud.

Placing his phone down Vatar returned the wave and sat more attentively then he had before. Phones at the dinner table were something he stressed a lot so it would be wrong for him to do it here, even for lunch. "Yes, it's strange what we can accomplish when things settle down." Settle down was more a term for her than him. He had cherished his newfound normalcy for years now. It had granted him a chance to see the universes of many colors and educate himself on the culture of a new world.

As for his sister, it was a rollercoaster of emotion and troubles. He blamed it on her domains, her level of attachment to people made it easy to be hurt. Of course, he would never tell her this now. She had a family that cared for her and a child that despite reminding him of his sisters younger days was slowly growing into her own. It was more than a pleasure for him to see her waters had calmed a bit.

"How are Dalia and Chloe? The last time I saw the girl she seemed upset with me." His eyes drifted to a waitress who brought over menus and a glass of water for Malara. He opened his up but was familiar enough with the menu he already knew what he wanted. Instead, he just pretended to think it over as to not put any rush on Malara.

@Kada

Scanning over the burger Malara had over he stuck to his original plan and ordered hi Bacon Burger. He had come here enough that the waitress didn't even care to ask how he wanted his burger.

As the waitress removed the menus Vatar gave a dismissive wave while finishing the rest of his water. " It was at the Family Fair thing the island held while you were away. I feel the nature of it all was bothering her. Her demeanor was more coarse than usual when it comes to me."

His job as Uncle to the once spiderling had always been a minor one. He viewed her as family but never truly made the effort to spend time with her, something he got enough flak for at home so he would avoid that now. It was times like that when he was thankful that Chloe and Amber were still around. While they didn't carry the Tor name they were by all means integral to keeping that half of the family together and he viewed them as extended if anything else.

"None the less. It's probably best for me to just ask her. I won't pretend to understand children. So I request that you don't bring it up with her." tracing around a problem would probably make things worse so he'd rather avoid that all together.

@Kada

He nodded as she spoke. Being Dalia's mom he only expected so much leeway before her told her anyway. Now wasn't the time for argument and back and forth. He really had had enough of that for his life and would rather just try and be cordial when it came to his disagreements....within reason of course. He would always reserve the right to hurt someone who threatened something he cared for.

Sipping his water, he gave a dismissive wave to Malara's question. " It's the same old same old. I've planned to have the wedding after I graduate from the Police Academy. So I'll keep you in the loop for all that, or Illiya will I'm sure...Oh, and of course she and the brat told me to tell you hi. She wanted to come for a bit but she has a shift she's covering today."

He still didn't like her job, but as mentioned to him several times it was better for all of them to be busy rather than have her stay at home watching Tv all day or something of that nature. The idea of all those perverts coming to visually download his wife still angered him. Though this time he promised not to punch anyone.

@Kada

OOC: sorry for the delay, school starting, and family stuff will slow me down a bit.
