Second tries

Gemma had tolerated her grounding reasonably well after her attempt at running away. Of course, the fact Thelon had probably alerted at least half the city that she wasn't allowed to leave left her with no choice BUT to tolerate it.

Now though, there'd been more then enough time for tempers to cool, and her mother was safely away in Fira. Determined to be calm and reasonable, Gemma makes her way to her father's office and knocks on the door.

"Come in," Thelon replies, rifling through papers. He glances over and smiles once the door is open. "Gemma, how are you today?"

"I'm fine father," Gemma replies, taking a seat. She smiles at him and then says, "You look busy, I won't take up too much time. Father, could I visit Uncle Zap for the winter? He doesn't get many jobs in winter, so we'd be staying in Ilyamen and you'd know where I was the whole time."

Gemma's planning to take the whole 'leaving home' thing very slowly. A few long visits to other relatives should let her parents get used to not having her around, then she'll hit them with the big idea of moving out.

Thelon looked thoughtful. This was certainly a reasonable request. "I don't see why not," he says slowly. "But let me ask your mother first, okay? I'll make sure to point out the same that you did."

Gemma beams with delight that Thelon is at least considering her request. "All right. Thank you, Father," she replies, her eyes bright with happiness and smiling for the first time in months. "I'll be in my room if you want me," she adds, leaving before she offends her father by squealing in delight at the possiblity of leaving the city.

Thelon smiled and chuckled, setting his papers aside and quickly letting his advisers know he'd be stepping out of Sensatia for a little bit. Touching his signs, he teleported to Fira.
