For Mick Ronno

[hellomajortom]

Tom and Aletayria had come back to the Nexus for a much needed break from the chaos and the confinement. While Jack had helped his wife pass visually as a human, her height drew too much attention so most of the time she was stuck in the hotel. That was a hard time for a women who enjoyed the open air and outdoors.

Mick had called earlier in the day to say he was stopping by in the evening which was nothing out of the ordinary. Tom had invited Mick to dinner. The boy needed to get more accustom to Anthean food and no one could do that as well as Aletayria.

She was just finishing up dinner while Tom watched Zayda trying to crawl around on the living room floor. Out of the pouch now, like Ziggy had she was growing fast but her development was a little behind a human. They were playing with blocks though and she was learning to try and stand up.

Mick was nervous. So much so that he was fiddling about with his tie, which he'd put on for the special occasion of meeting Ziggy's parents together. The meeting he wanted to have was regarding his upcoming proposal to the young Anthean singer and he didn't want to muck things up. He wanted Ziggy to become his wife and so best impressions always counted as Ted and Elsie Ronno used to say involving their son and a young lady. Well, in this case an alien.

Having dinner with Ziggy's parents was something Mick had always wanted to do anyway. Knocking on the door twice he clutched a wrapped up present in his hand for them both. It was teapot shaped and had red sparkly paper wrapped up around it. Inside was a blue teapot with some special flavoured teas inside. Since Tom didn't drink, Mick knew the man was a tea drinker, having seen him and Robert sharing a cup or five well into the early hours back at the hotel. Would Space Mum be able to drink it too? Hopefully.

"Hello? It's me, Mick."
