        Anwen huffed for a moment. She crossed her arms.  “ The sand is not  the only fault of the beach, while it remains a major complaint of mine. There is also the heat and the sun. and the masses of people that flock to the beach. ” She wrinkled her nose at the thought “ A view some could find pretty is not worth the hassle. ”

[empathic-raven]

      The list of cons the young blond listed off were all reason she used to dislike the beach and the sometimes unforgiving sun. It wasn’t until she really bonded with her family; wither by blood or bond that she understood it’s beauty. It was becoming more apparent that her personal was reserved and withdrawn. ❝ I understand       I once dreaded the idea of spending the day at the beach. ❞ Raven saw her nose wrinkle in her distaste for the sandy shores,giving her a gentle smile.   ❝ Aside from the lack of a more desirable location; I do hope you’re settling in here on the island. Miss     ?    ❞

Dick watched her as she turned to face and internally cringed at the warfront that she had put up.  She had braced herself like she was waiting for something unpleasant. It was a subtle change, but one he easily recognized. A bit of him almost wilted when he recognized it, but he and Raven were ever going to be as close as they used to be, then he would have to be patient and keep his nerve.

He felt better when he saw the small smile reach her lips. That was the Raven he knew and adored. However, he was only treated with her smile for a moment before she returned her attention back to the ocean.

“I’m good,” he said. “Great actually. The kiddos are all moved in after what might be the fourth most chaotic day of my life. I swear I’m starting to get old.”

[empathic-raven]

     This was ALWAYS going to be a struggle. To ignore how he felt towards her actions, her distance nature after all they had been though. It was hard to not notice the emotion quo giving how close they were nearly eighteen ago. Though she was determined to keep such things in the past were they belong, this was bout the future, their children's future. 

     ❝ Are you suggesting that these youths are far more to handle then the numinous crossing with mortal peril and the destitution of the world as we know it?  ❞  Raven paused for a moment giving him a knowing look from over her shoulder before a coy little smirk tugged at her lips. ❝  You must be getting old.  ❞  She still took her little quips when he gave her easy martial to work with.

“Beautiful to look at, but too hot,” Brant said with a sigh. He kicked the ground, watching the sand fly everywhere. “ And I can not say I’m fond of all this sand.” 

[empathic-raven]

       Raven took her eyes off the landscapes too look over at the young man who had decided to join her.  ❝ Things that hold beauty tend to have their pros and cons. Some can see past these shortcoming and others can’t. ‘Beauty is in the eye of the beholder ‘in lame mans terms.  ❞  She crossed her arms about her chest in a lazy fashion.  ❝  You settled into your house ?   ❞

“HOME as in the place, not the people,” Jade corrected herself, returning her mother’s smile with a miniature one of her own. “You’re right…we’re all here. It just feels strange. I don’t know how else to put it..”

Jade fought the urge to roll her eyes at her mother’s question. For as long as she could remember, she had been tasked with keeping an eye on her younger brother and sister. They were good people, but they were magnets for trouble. She loved them, but they caused more than a few headaches.

“Those two need at least twenty eyes out for them,” she commented after careful consideration. 

[empathic-raven]

     The older empath gave her daughter a small smile at her logical answer. Among her children it seem that Jade adopted her personality the most. It was no wander the Original Flying Grayson felt out number among this flock.   ❝  It is a bit strange; isn’t it ?   ❞   

     Raven paused for a moment knowing that the fact she going to have to be working with the father of her children on this island. STRANGE may be an understatement in the past failed relationship she had with Grayson. None the less, her children will forever take priority over her own feeling on the matter. They will always come first.  So if that meant working with their father so be it. 

     Hearing Jades sly comment on her siblings brought her back. A chuckle tickling her throat,  ❝  What makes you think yours are the only eyes on them ?   ❞ Her mother was a Titan after all. Plenty of family to keep an eye on all her kids.

IT was funny how you could look at one setting and be transported into another. As soon as she saw the water, she felt like she was five years old again on the beach with the twins, building a sand castle only for it to be crushed under the feet of her siblings. Her mother’s voice called her back to the present.

“It is,” she agreed. “It’s almost…home…”

[empathic-raven]

     ❝  Just almost       ? ❞ She gently asked her eldest daughter. Watching as the young woman was caught in her own memories.  ❝  Your whole family is here, not to far from home at all I would say.  ❞ Raven said with a gentle smile before taking in a deep breath of air. Her mind wandering to family vacations at the beach.  How her children would run around in the sand and water until the wore  themselves out. ❝ Speaking of family     Keeping an eye out for the twins? ❞

“It is,” Reilly said as he looked over the ocean. It was different than anything he had ever seen. He was a city boy and grew up used to concrete and steel. This was heaven. “I wonder why they choose here. They trying to keep us away from people under the pretext of giving us a holiday?”

[empathic-raven]

     The woman let out a dry little chuckle at the young man thoughts on ‘ hiding them away’.   ❝ A good observation but unlikely. ❞  Raven turned her gaze to the young man, taking silent observations herself. ❝ This island was chosen simply for the fact it suited our needs. Though I have a slight suspension that the vacation like atmosphere spoke to our donors and organizers   ❞  

[helawrites]

        Anwen shrugged. She had never been one for ocean views or the beach. Both reminded her of the heat and sunburns. Much more enjoyable to her were forests, with their cool breezes and peacefulness. “ One could consider it lovely. I do not. ”

[empathic-raven]

     Raven listen to the young woman beside her, sensing a hint of what could be described as ‘homesick’ maybe ?  ❝ Ummm I see       ❞ She paused for a moment look upon the blonde. ❝  That’s understandable. I myself am not a fan of sand. Get everywhere. ❞  Raven gave the girl a slight smirk. 

[acrobatic-grayson-deactivated20]

“It is,” Dick agreed, looking at the mother of his children out of the corner of his eyes. He always felt the need to watch her, especially when she was like this; untroubled and slightly at peace. He knew her well enough to know that Raven didn’t always feel comfortable with people, let alone herself so to see her reflex a bit was always a welcomed sight.

After a few moments of silence, he turned her, his gaze softer it usually was with the average people. His smile was faint, but it tugged lightly at the corners of his lips. 

“Hey Rae…how are you doing?”

[empathic-raven]

     She knew it was him. His soul; his aura so unmistakably his that the empath knew exactly who was making their way toward her before any words were exchanged. You simply just can't ignore these spirits that practically demand to be noticed. Raven had been trying for years, but everyone has their weakness. He just happen to be one of hers. Hearing his voice just above the waves that came crashing to the shore. Feeling his gaze on her more so than the ocean front. Closing her eyes for a moment, holding onto this moment of peace just a little longer before she had to return to reality.

     ❝ Hello Grayson      ❞ She spoke just above the waves for his ears only. Amethyst eyes meeting cerulean blue for the first time in what seemed like ages. Letting a slight smile tug at her lips, his smile had always been infectious. ❝  I'm well enough. ❞ Raven had to pause for a moment to refrain from answering in a way that would have been vastly unnecessary. No need to dull on the past. Casting her gaze back the coast, ❝ And of yourself?  ❞

[nightingale-jazz-blog]

“It is,” Jazz replied, standing next to her mother. She gazed at the ocean with a broad smile on her face, closing her eyes briefly to enjoy the breeze spray. 

“It makes me feel like a kid again. I almost want to jump in the surf, but I really don’t want to get my favorite hoodie messed up again,” she said lightly, pinching the worn fabric.

[empathic-raven]

     Hearing her daughter voice, Raven’s lips pulled into a gentle smile. Her gaze turning from the waves to look over at the young woman beside her. Jasmine always stood tall and determined, even her gate commanded attention when she enter a room. Raven smiled a little more, not matter how old her children became they would always be her little birds. Raven would always see that little girl eager for an adventure and trying to prove something.

     A little chuckle left her lips, a memory tickling the corners of her mind. Looking back at the ocean, ❝  Well it’s nice to see you can contain that energy. Had it been a few years against you would have dragged your siblings in with you. ❞  Raven let a few more chuckles out shaking her head a little at the memory of all three of her kids placing at the beach on one of her vacations with them.   

[empathic-raven]

     Tropical winds play with silken locks and vivid colored fabric. The smell of sea salt and sunshine fill the air as that bright star warmed up the island of Kondaira. If it was one thing The Empath could give a gracious nod to; was that these organizers certainly knew how to pick a view. If it wasn't for that fact she knew exactly where she was in time and space. Raven would have believed by her senses alone that she was back at Titan Tower all those years ago. She had always have a liking for ocean views ever once then. So calming and peaceful; prefect for mediating, yoga or some Tai Chi. 

     Taking in a deep breath that she let out slow and a breathy sigh before sensing an approaching presence. ❝ Quite lovely, isn't it ? ❞
