Akomish Days
Lana pursed her lips as she fiddled with her wedding ring;turning it over and over again until she was satisfied. Delsin focused on the road, doing anything not to look at his very angry wife. She kept her eyes on the road as well, but staying silent was not how she was raised.
"Del, I'm not going to be angry if you tell me exactly what she called you for," Lana put her hand on his armrest.
"You heard her, you know exactly what she asked for," Delsin smiled carefully, "There's some problems in Seattle. A new Conduit or something… she sounded scared, Lana."
Lana has known Fetch every since she and Delsin began dating. She was always a constant presence in their relationship. Lana knew that if Fetch was scared of something it was serious, but not serious enough for her to lose her husband for however long this would take. Lana looked over to Delsin, she knew he couldn't look her in the eye, but it would have been nice for him to momentarily take his eyes off the road to just look at her. She already knew that Delsin had given up so much to be with her: his relationship with Eugene and Fetch, his responsibilities to the people of Seattle, and most importantly helping people who couldn't help themselves. From time to time Lana would think about all this, but would quickly distract herself in order to change her mood. Betty said all that sadness was bad for her baby.
"It's up to you," Lana said while getting out of the car and walking towards the Akomish Family Center. There were big banners that said in big red bold letter: Akomish Days.
"What was that," Delsin wrapped his arm around his wife.
"I said," Lana looked at him again, but his gaze was focused on something else.
Lana look to wear his line of sight was pointing. There, she was… always interrupting crucial points in their marriage. Fetch smiled, hands on her hips, and just smiling away.
"Look at me." Lan pleaded silently to her husband, but she knew it was too late. His arm was already from around her and he was walking towards his old friend.
