Compound: Girlfriend or No?

Micah Breed  *Heading towards his quarters after a long and hard workout, he decided to swing by Elise and Tegan's to see if he could catch his mom before the evenings briefings and details started. Feeling particularly charming, he picked up a fully bloomed purple colored flower from the garden area and whistled quietly to himself as he made his way back down and knocked on her door*

Comments

Elise Chase *Setting her kindle down at the sound of the knock on their door, she opened it and smiled wide seeing Micah standing there. She stepped forward and hugged him, pulling him into the room.* To what do I owe this honor?

Micah Breed *Keeping his arm around her shoulders, he smiled back and held out the flower he had chosen* Can't a breed just want to earn some brownie points with the females in his life?

Elise Chase *She snorted lightly as she took the flower and held it to her nose, inhaling the wonderful scent.* Of course a Breed can. Besides I've been meaning to talk to you about something I heard.

Micah Breed *He arced a brow as he took a seat at the table across from her* Have you now? *Smiling when he saw the purple in her eyes go brighter* And what would that be?

Elise Chase *Nodding, she grinned seeing his father's smirk.* Well, a little birdie told me something and I was wondering if it was true.

Micah Breed *He felt a slight hesitation at the direction the conversation was going as he searched the depths of his memory for any sign of a reason a bird would need to speak at all* Well, I'm not so sure I'd trust every feather-mouth I came across, what did this one have to say?

Elise Chase *Leaning back in her chair, she crossed her arms and tilted her head to the side, schooling her features into a stern look.* Oh, just that you have a girlfriend and neglected to tell your mother.

Micah Breed *Choking on the very air he was breathing, his jaw dropped as he stared at her* Me? A girl.. girlfriend? *Quickly recomposing himself to hide the knowledge that she had to be talking about a hot little brunette he'd found who'd somehow managed to become his most preferred host* I'm Breed, mother, I don't have girlfriends

Elise Chase *She narrowed her eyes and leaned forward.* You don't think the Breed have girlfriends? I think you need to have a talk with your father and some of your cousins.

Micah Breed *Avoiding her gaze to save himself the embarrassment. He knew he was caught so now the decisions was should he fess up or not* I can promise you I WILL be talking to my cousins in the near future. One cousin in particular *Barely keeping the growl form his tone* So what was said about this "girlfriend" I supposedly have?

Elise Chase *Shaking her head, she returned to her relaxed position.* Now you really don't expect me to give up my sources, do you? But I was told you have been spending a lot of time with her and it was time for me to meet her

Micah Breed *He felt the blood drain from his face completely. Keep it together, Micah, you're a god damn warrior. He leaned forward slightly to rest his elbows on the table* Well I gotta eat, don't I? *he watched her eyes and hoped like hell she couldn't see what he really thought of his little female*

Elise Chase *Watching his reaction closely, she noticed the flash of amber but decided to give him his space. She reached forward and covered his hand with her own.* Sweetie, yes you need to feed. Just promise me that I won't be the last person to find out if you do find one.

Micah Breed *Looking back up at the face that had cared for him his entire life, he gave a slight half smirk, half smile and nodded. He knew she'd read him like a book and was letting him find his own way to tell it. He was grateful she understood and was equally sure he would be the end of Aric as soon as he got his hands on that little birdie* She's just a host, mom, but I seem to be fond of her *He smiled again and hoped like hell his body's reactions to the thought of her were hidden by the table*

Elise Chase Good, that is exactly what I wanted to hear. You are way too young. You need to enjoy life. Now, I need some ideas from you. *Knowing she had gotten more than she expected, she decided to change the subject.* Christmas presents,

Micah Breed *letting out a deep laugh, he scrubbed a hand over his face and readjusted his hat* You know I like my cars, Mom

Elise Chase *Rolling her eyes, she laughed.* I know. I was thinking of going all out this year for Christmas since it has been a few years, plus you are home. So I'm taking that as a yes that you will help me. *Seeing his look of horror, she laughed harder but refused to let him get out of it.* That settles it. I'll speak to Lucan and ensure you have the time off I need. He owes me you know. *His eyes widened and she changed the subject on him again, not giving him time to protest. She loved his spontaneous visits and liked to keep him in his toes. Enjoying the time, they talked more and his unease went away as the topics changed. How much she loved her son was indescribable.*
