“It’s nice to meet you,” Selene said as she shook James’ hand. “Selene can jump two meters comfortably,” Mac stated, absentmindedly, as she studied the case of arrows. Selene couldn’t help but roll her eyes as Mac carried the case of arrows into the kitchen as if they were some kind of Christmas gift. |

“Say what,” Jason said as he poked his head back into the living room, a celery stick half in his mouth. “Clint,” Selene said and elbowed him gently. |

"Indeed." Jack said. "Say what? I thought... uhm... you know." "I guess we figure something out eventually." Clint said with a shrug of his shoulders. "What's what we had to talk about." "Ah... right right." Jack nodded his head and looked at Kinsey as if to say 'did you know about that?' |

James shook his head, "Just glad that she hasn't popped up with three grand kids for us out something. I might be tempted to have someone make an inconspicuous disappearance." He winked at Zoe, "Just kidding love." James looked at Selene appraisingly, "Based on your musculature, bone structure, and just your general attitude, I get the feeling you aren't totally human either." Jason wasn't watching Mira, who nimbly leapt up and bit the celery stick off an inch from his nose. Edited by James Webster, Oct 28 2013, 08:37 PM.

Kinsey just shrugged she had no idea there was a mini Selene running around but she couldn’t say she wasn’t happy for them or that she didn’t think it would happen sooner or later. However, she had no idea that Selene couldn’t have kids so for once Jack actually knew something she didn’t. Not that Kinsey didn’t mind she actually hated knowing everything about people but it was one of the hazards of being in intelligence. The more she thought about it though she really didn’t know much about Selene anyways. “Maybe after dinner,” Kinsey offered. “Sure if you aren’t pulling you away from your guest.” Selene said as she glanced over at Clint. James looked at Selene appraisingly, "Based on your musculature, bone structure, and just your general attitude, I get the feeling you aren't totally human either." “That’s classified,” She teased before Clint could say anything. Jason wasn't watching Mira, who nimbly leapt up and bit the celery stick off an inch from his nose. “Gozit,” Jason cursed in Xenexian as he eyed Mira and then tossed a piece of celery at her. “Hey you know what you guys need a dog or something.” He said to Selene and Clint. |

"They do seem like dog people." Jack said with a smirk. "I miss not having a pet but then again I have a house full of my kids young and old... " he gave Jason a look. "Serves you right for snacking before dinner." he laughed lightly and looked at the dining room. "Told you we needed a dining room when we entertain. The old place wouldn't be big enough, people would be eating on their laps on the stairs going up." |

“What’s wrong with that?” Mac inquired as she pulled Jason back into the dining room. “I’m sure they’d be the first to volunteer.” Selene joked. "So what do you do James?" |

*Sorry for the late reply...I'm on leave en route with a PCS, so I try to fill my days with friends and family...*'' Zoe slammed back what remained of her glass of homebrew. She had remained relatively silent, not really knowing what to say. The duplicates and future selves confused her to a point of near shutdown. It was a headache for a human, but she was half human and that half had enough anguish figuring this out without the empathic and minute telepathic sense her Betazoid half had. She leaned into James briefly to say, "You may have to carry me out of here." And there was no sense of play to her tone. |

He leaned over and kissed her. He placed his hand on her cheek and she could feel a sense of warmth and calm in her spirit. "I'll take care of you love," he looked over at Selene and nodded. "Marine Detachment Commander, a member of the New Texas Defense Forces, a little of this and that. I hear you kept my boys and girl in shape while I was away. |

"More like they volunteered for torture but their hand to hand skills have gotten better." Selene said as she followed everyone into the dining room. "They took an interset in my lessions with the childern. It started out as one or two people asking question and then next thing I knew we were having classes and sparing." |

"Interesting, I may have to sit in on one of these lessons, might even have a little sparring session ourselves." He finished off his glass and took the liberty of refilling it. He raised the glass, "If no one minds, I'd like to make a toast." He glanced around the dining room, "to friends, both absent and newfound. To those lost, be they taken by force, or selflessly sacrifing themselves. To family, friends, and love. And to those whose fate we know not. May the Comforter be with them, for here we are blessed beyond comparison." |

"Hear hear!" Jack said with a raised glass. "Amen!" he smiled and looked at the table and everyone gathered. "I also want to say, James Webster, we may not have started out so great - but it makes me feel good that you're back and as the song goes, 'you ain't seen nothing yet..." |

"Yes there's never a boring moment around here." Selene said with a smile and paused in the door way to the dining room when she caught sight of Carly coming down the stairs. The girl looked nervous which surprised Selene considering her normal demeanor. Carly was like an adult stuck in a child's body. Maybe she sensed how important this dinner was to her parents. "Come on Carly you can sit by me." Selene offered with a smile as she held out her hand to the child. "Hi," Carly said quietly to James, Zoe, and Adana and took Selene's hand. Selene smiled over at Clint and walked into the dinning room were Jason, Mac, Zeke, and Keira already were. Jason had a celery stick in his mouth and five hidden in his hand for Mira. |

James laughed at Jack's comment, "We have imprpved since the days of the threats and saber rattling, havent we? It feels good tp be back, New Texas will always be home, but like a family, home isnt just a thing of your birth." He smiled at Carly and nodded, "How are you Carly?"
