Wellspring Arms & Meditation Center: Monday

[sonofmogh.livejournal.com]

Worf arrived at his usual time and did the usual things to get the store ready for its usual lack of customers.

When the usual tasks were completed, Worf headed back to the meditation area where he began going through his mok'bara routines.

If anyone entered the store he was in earshot to hear them and provide assistance.

"Morning, Worf," Cable greeted, as Jan pre-empted him by barrelling into the store.

Clumsily.

[sonofmogh.livejournal.com]

"Sir," Worf said now snapping to attention. "I trust all is well?"

[spring-lost.livejournal.com]

"All is fine," he nodded. Then, after a pause, added, "You can be at ease now, Worf."

Seriously.

Jan began to fumble over towards Worf. His forehead looked shiny.

"I see," Worf said relaxing into... well okay it was parade rest instead of standing at attention but he still looked pretty stiff.

He was keeping an eye on the child though as he said. "And your child seems to be progresses at the standard human development level."

"Thank you, Worf."

He figured that was a compliment. "You seem to have the store under control."

[sonofmogh.livejournal.com]

"Everything is as it should be," Worf reported. "I trust that everything at Town Hall is in order?"

"We haven't run into any invasions since last week's," he said, as Jan attempted to attach herself to Worf's leg. "I heard you had fun..?"

Jack's eyes went to Jan and watched her very carefully. "Kid. Guns. Am I alone in thinking this is NOT a great idea?"

[spring-lost.livejournal.com]

Cable's eyes turned back to meet his. "In this store," he said, "Yes."

Cable had been around this many guns when he was Jan's age, and he grew up fine.

[nofishinmypond.livejournal.com]

"Because the guns are locked up safely?" Jack demanded. "Because the ammo's in a different display case? All it takes is ONE loaded gun, even if the safety's probably on, and..."

Jack's son had been around only one gun, and he didn't grow up.

[spring-lost.livejournal.com]

"Because I know what I'm doing," Cable said, simply. "I grew up in a far more dangerous environment than this; trust me, this is the safe option."

[nofishinmypond.livejournal.com]

"I'm sure YOU know what you're doing," Jack countered. "I've got no doubt of that. But I don't think your DAUGHTER does -- she's a bit young. And, you know, there's the issue of can you really trust the proprietor to keep dangerous weapons out of the hands of kids?"

[spring-lost.livejournal.com]

"The kids of Fandom? Yes," Cable said, patiently. "She is going to be learning about firearms as soon as she knows how. I'd suggest you stop making assumptions about this kid."

Such as it being his daughter, but hew asn't going to elaborate.

Rose wasn't about to let Worf claim she'd bowed out of this fight, and, dressed ready to spar, she showed up at Wellspring Arms in the late morning.

"Hello?" she called, glancing around the seemingly empty front room.

[sonofmogh.livejournal.com]

"Rose," Worf said nodding at her respectfully as he came in from the meditation room. "I trust you are well?"

[guardianborn.livejournal.com]

"Perfect," she said lightly, giving him a grin. "What about you? Missing the alligators?"

[sonofmogh.livejournal.com]

"Not at all," Worf replied somewhat smugly. "It was a pleasure vanquishing them. Are you ready to spar?"

[guardianborn.livejournal.com]

She smirked at his reaction. "Of course," Rose said, her turn to be smug. "It's why I came."

[sonofmogh.livejournal.com]

"This way," Worf said gesturing her to follow him into the meditation area. "We shouldn't be disturbed here."

Jack strolled into the store and looked around. "Hiya, folks! I need some ammo for a... what the hell are you?"

He'd visited just about every damn planet in the galaxy, but Worf's forehead was new.

[sonofmogh.livejournal.com]

"I am Klingon, sir," Worf replied gruffly. "An alien race."

Because Worf thought stating the obvious was important.

[nofishinmypond.livejournal.com]

"Klingon, huh? What planet are you from?" Jack looked the guy up and down. "I'd welcome you to Earth, but I'll bet someone else beat me to it."

[sonofmogh.livejournal.com]

"Indeed," Worf agreed. "The Klingon homeworld is Q'onos which is in the Beta quadrant. Though I doubt the people on this planet call it that yet."

[nofishinmypond.livejournal.com]

"Beta like the Greek letter, or beta like the fish?" Jack asked. "Are there any Goa'uld there?" Then he facepalmed. "You know, why am I even asking? You're probably just from a different universe, anyway."

"I have have heard of this Gould," Worf replied. "I believe his is a comedic actor prevalent in the latter have of the twentieth and twenty-first century."
