Guess who's ambushing you at dinner? (Remi)

[atlanteanhellion]

New York was boring. It was dull. It was entirely uninteresting. All of her usual shenanigans that had worked favorably to entertain her in surface times in the past were socially unacceptable now that she was older. This shift in appropriateness left her with not a lot to do short of drink lots of mochas and improve her trident technique (by scaring the crap out of unsuspecting Avengers.) Kassia was starting to reach the end of her entertainment with Starbucks when a very interesting tidbit of information crossed her path: one of the Avengers asked her if she was related to some guy named Remi de Namor. While her initial response was no some further research said otherwise. She was, in fact, related to some dude from another dimension named Remi. Genetically they had the same father. Which made him her brother.

Which means she had been cheated out of all this time tormenting an older brother in only the best Atlantean ways. This was unfair and it had to be corrected. Correcting the situation meant some stalking (she liked to think of it as espionage of a royal variety) and in short order she discovered that Remi ate nearly all the time at a little restaurant not too far away. He especially at there for lunch on Wednesdays. After verifying this pattern for a month Kassia decided to pounce the next Wednesday.

She even brought the trident, just for fun.

"Parental custody issues. Mom decided that she wanted me above waterline for a little bit each year. I'm supposed to have an even split but Pops usually finds a way to keep me waterlogged a bit longer than she'd like." Kassia shrugged. "Both of their egos get in the way of effective parenting."

He frowned slightly. That did not sound... fun, which was the nice way of putting it. Since Remi was a bit of a hedonist, he did not like the sound of that situation for his newly found little sister.

"Hmm. How do you want to live?"

[atlanteanhellion]

"I don't really know. I haven't really figured that out yet, but I suspect it will involve Atlantis considering."

"Your life will always involve Atlantis," he reminded with a grin.

"You're their Princess Royal, but if I've learned anything from my father, it's that you don't have rule all the time from the throne in the center of Atlantis. In fact, it's better to go off and get experience that's un-Atlantis. You have time to explore that as long as King McKenzie is on the throne."

[atlanteanhellion]

"I'm pretty sure the old gills isn't likely to leave the throne anytime soon, either. I'm pretty sure he will be there forever. He has control issues."

"Oh, I know that feeling. But it's a good thing. It means you have time to explore options beyond what people tell you. Surface and underwater." Remi leaned back in his chair as a very cautious waiter came to the table. The Atlantean gave the man an apologetic smile.

"My younger sister will be joining me for lunch. Figured out what you want to eat, Kassi?"
