Ching Tai, Saturday Night

[findingelena.livejournal.com]

So Elena had planned on taking Jacob out drinking, to celebrate his first week of intact-sanity in Fandom, but he'd suddenly changed his mind once they got near Caritas. Maybe it had bad mojo or something.

Ching Tai seemed like a good back-up.

"Well, there goes my clever plan to get you drunk and take advantage of you," she teased, as they were seated.

"Now that's a useful power," Andy enthused.

"My father would have me reverse my gifts and harm instead of heal," Raven said. "I defy him every time I bring comfort to another. I cannot make up for all the terrible things he has done, but I hope in some small way I make a difference."

"Gotta say, that's probably the most positive way of rebelling I've ever heard of." Andy raised his water glass to her, toasting her.

Raven clinked her own glass to his. "That is why I understand what you and Sam wish to do," she said. "Just because these abilities came to you through demon blood, it does not mean you cannot use them for good."

"That's how I think about it," Andy agreed. "It's what you do that's important, not what you are."

"That is what I have tried very hard to believe," Raven said. "There were some in Azarath who feared me because of the demon that sired me, and sometimes it is hard to resist how easy it would be to twist my gifts and use them for dark purposes" -- she closed her eyes for a moment and tried to will the memories of the vampire-ruled Fandom away -- "but I do not want to follow in my father's footsteps."

"I think doing the right thing shouldn't always be easy," Andy said slowly. "Otherwise it's not worth much. So having to struggle sometimes makes us better."

"Exactly," Raven said. "Have you been learning with just Sam, or anyone else? I have been training with Professor Skywalker, and he has been extremely helpful to me."

"I've just started working with Sam," Andy said. "Before that, I've pretty much just been figuring things out on my own."

[trigons_child]

"That is where I have an advantage over you both," Raven said. "I was trained since I was old enough to understand in Azarath. But I have no doubt you will both learn."

"Do you think I should ask Professor Skywalker for help?" Andy asked. "I don't want to impose or anything..."

[trigons_child]

"I can ask him if you'd like," Raven said. "I see him every week during his office hours."

[noteviltwin.livejournal.com]

"Would you?"

[trigons_child]

"Of course," Raven said, smiling. "I would be pleased to ask."

[noteviltwin.livejournal.com]

"Thank you! A lot. Really. I'll have to find some way to repay you."

[trigons_child]

"You do not need to worry about that," Raven said. "It is no trouble at all for me to ask him."
