| Surion, Dada and the Car
Torvil grunted as he walked with the black Corvair above his head, it wasn't overly heavy to him... Just bulky. He put it down outside the house and wiped his brow, it'd been a long walk from Barton and Torvil knew the car worked, he'd heard the man turn it over before he bought it, and had only been barely able to avoid from jumping when it had. He popped his neck and headed inside. "Hey, I'm home with the car..."
Ala poked her head from the kitchen towel in hand "Car? ok..." she blinked not quite sure what he was up to
Surion was playing with his dragons and some other toys in his room
Torvil chuckled softly and moved over to Ala. He gave her a kiss and purred. "I'm getting over my fear of the blasted things finally... That, and it gives us another means of getting somewhere..." He chuckled softly. "Sides... It might be fun..." He murmured. He tapped his chin. "Where's Surion? I sense this could be a major father son bonding thing..."
Ala chuckled and returned his kiss "Playing in his room" she said tipping her head in that direction
Torvil smiled and nodded, and headed that way. He grinned and stuck his head in. "Hey Sur... Wanna help Daddy with something?" He asked.
Surion looked up from the toys he held "Otay!" he said dropping the toys on the floor and standing up hurrying towards his fathers side
Torvil chuckled. "Are we forgetting something?" He asked, pointing at the abandoned toys. "You gotta put those away first..."
Surion looked back at his toys and after a moment trudged over not wanting to clean up one by one he started tossing them back either in the box or the pile of stuffy dragons
Torvil smiled. "That's a good boy... Before we head out I'll get you a nice snack alright?" He was glad Surion was showing such good behavior.
"Otay" he said sounding like he didn't want to clean and soon he was done and looked up at his dad hoping he had done ok even though some of the toys had simply been shoved in the bin
Torvil chuckled, it was good enough for him, they were after all... off the floor. "Okay lets go Sur..." He offered his hand.
Surion ran across the floor and took his hand with a grin "Where we go dada?"
"To take apart and then put together a car... but first to the kitchen to get you a snack, as promised."
"What a car?" Surion asked walking along with his father
Torvil chuckled softly and walked into the kitchen. "It's a machine with four wheels that rolls around on the ground... Dad's scared of them..." He lifted Surion onto the counter and went about procuring a sweet roll.
Surion swung his legs watching his dad and mum. "Oh" he said
Ala chuckled she was putting away the dishes from their last meal
Torvil handed his son the sweet roll and gave Ala a kiss on the cheek.
Ala smiled softly happily
Surion ate the roll soon becoming quite sticky for the treat
Torvil chuckled at Surion but was still focused mainly on Ala, and was not in the process of giving her a nuzzle as his hand reached for something to clean Surion up with.
Ala purred softly "I think I'm going to call on Tinania in a few days" she murmured
Surion watched them giggling and clapping his sticky hands together
Torvil grinned and kissed her again. "That would be wonderful love..." He murmured, giving her nose a gentle lick before walking over to Surion with the slightly damp towel he'd wetted in the sink for Surion.
Surion looked up at him happily letting him clean him up "Dada lick mama" he giggled
Torvil chuckled and licked Surion's forehead. "That he did... It's a sign of affection... but you only do it to really special people okay?" He said softly.
Surion nodded "Otay" he said reaching up to be picked up
Torvil smiled and picked him up, carrying him towards the door. "We'll be back in a bit love..." Torvil called over his shoulder.
Ala nodded "Have fun love" she said getting back to work
Surion giggled and watched where they were going curious to see this 'car'
Torvil grinned and once they reached the black Corvair convertible he put Surion down and flipped open his book. "Okay, first things first we've got to jack her up and take off the wheels..."
Surion walked close to the car and was poking at the tired, the car sides. his interest attracted to the shiny door handles "shinnies" he said
Torvil chuckled. "Yes... Shinies..." He smirked and pulled out the car jack and jack stands he's bought, getting to work.
Surion followed him and looked at the jacks they were intriguing "What dat?"
Torvil smiled. "They're supposed to lift the car up. He started reading the directions and followed them to the letter, jumping back when the car start rising.
Surion sat on the grass watching curiously and looking under the car
Torvil chuckled and finished up then got some draining pans and placed them under the car, undoing some caps and sliding out from under it to start undoing bolts. "Surion, could you come hold this hub cap for me while I put the bolts in.
Surion nodded "Otay" he said holding the item his fatherhanded him
Torvil made sure he handed Surion the hubcap so the curve faced down, he started putting the nuts from the tire into it.
Surion was attracted to the bolts and picked one up to look at it as his father put them in
Torvil chuckles softly as he saw what Surion was doing. "Cool huh?" He asked as he moved onto the next wheel once he had pulled that one off.
"Ya dad, cool" he giggled looking to see what he was doing now
Torvil had laid the wheel down some ways away and was going back to the other wheel and repeating the process
Surion watched him curious his eyes kept drifting back to the bolts which were becoming more numerous
Torvil soon had all four wheels stacked, and the bolts set aside, he then went and checked the drip pans, finding them full and the car empty of fluids
Surion stuffed a few of the bolts in his pockets then followed after his father
Torvil set the pans aside and looked over the book. "Okay... Time to get rid of the body and just leave the frame... This'll be hard... so Surion I want to you be extra careful and do what I say the first time okay?" He crawled under the car. I need you to hand me that sivler tool right there..."
Surion looked around till he saw the tool and picked it up before returning and handing it to his dad
Torvil smiled. "Thanks..." and went to work on the bolts
Surion took some of the bolts and put them in the hubcaps, some of them found their way into his pockets quietly
Torvil didn't notice they were being nicked, and he just went about removing bolts until he was done. THen he slowly stood and started to slowly lift the still whole body from the frame.
Surion disappeared intot he house while his father lifted the body and was just returning as it was being put down
Torvil smiled at him. "Are you ready for the really hard part?" He asked his son, pointing at the beast of an engine.
Surion looked up at him and then to the engine "Dat car?" he asked
"Part of it... the part that makes it go..." He said moving over and taking out the easy stuff first.
Surion followed him and stood closer to the frame looking curiously at it
Torvil kept working until he had to toss the engine cover bolts to Surion
Surion giggled as the bolts clanked into another hubcap a couple of them winding up in his pockets again
Torvil still didn't notice them getting nicked and soon he had the car dismantled. He wiped his brow. "Okay... Now to put it back together again..."
"Sur gogo" he said and disappeared into the house he'd recently figured it all out and needed little to no help, especially if he only had to go to pee
Torvil chuckled. "Okay, I'll be waiting... kinda..." He said as he started to work backward, perplexed when he tired to re work the engine cover to find that a few of the bolts were missing... meh, who needed those anyway..."
Surion returned a few minutes later, he had indeed gone to the bathroom but he had also made a stop in his room depositing the bolts with the first pile of them he had hidden earlier and then went back outside
Torvil was working on repositioning the frame when he returned.
Surion came close and curiously watched his father's actions
Torvil had again slid under and swore. "Where do those bolts keep going to... no matter... don't need em... I think..."
"Whatcha doin dada" he asked laying on the grass near the side of the car and looked over at him and up at the undercarriage
Torvil chuckled. "Trying to reattach the frame, but I'm missing a few bolts... No matter. they're not important..."
"Sur sees" he said giggling and watching
Torvil chuckled and slid out, sitting up he moved over to the driver side and slid into the seat.
Surion sat up too and stood up walking closer tot he side of the car standing on his tippy toes and looking over the door to watch his father
Torvil slid the key in and turned it.... Nothing...
"Oooo" Surion didn't know the car was supposed to do something else "Dat neat"
Torvil chuckled softly and shook his head. "The car's not starting... maybe if I..." He got up and started to refill the fluids.
Surion stood back and walked over to watch his father refill the fluids
Torvil even gassed it up, and this time the car did make a noise... A Short whine before it literally leaked all the fluids out
Surion listened to the whine and backed away from the car, he didn't like the noise
Torvil swore and got out. "The hell..." He tossed open the lid... To be greeted by smoke...
Surion squeaked and ran inside he didn't like that, he didn't think 'cars' should do that only fires
Torvil grunted and kept about working on the car, having to finally take the entire car again, and start to make the parts that had broken and the missing Bolts... HE resigned that this project would now take days... cause he now had to go back to Barton to get a smiting tool.
Surion was in the bathroom with his mom, Ala had seen the mess he was especially his hands and had insisted he clean up if he was inside
Torvil came back in a few minutes later, starting to head for the bathroom, he needed to clean up a little before heading out.
Ala looked up at him when he came into the bathroom, she saw his mess and chuckle, she was just finishing up with Surion
Torvil grinned at her. "How about a hug?" He joked as he started to wash his hands and face of oil and grease.
"Not when you look like that" she said with a laugh putting Surion back onto the ground "Surion was bad enough" she said and then started to clean her arms
Torvil laughed and finished up quickly. "Well, If he wants he can come with me to Barton... I have to pick up some tools to make some parts that broke and replace the bolts we lost..."
"Either or I'm fine with it just ask your son" Ala said leaning on the counter
Torvil smiled. "You wanna come with Surion?" He said softly, then looked at Ala. "Offer is opened to you to... we could go out for dinner..."
"Sure why not" she said with a chuckle and a smile, they didn't go out all that often
Torvil smiled. "Well then... Let me get changed into some nicer clothes and we'll go..."
Ala nodded "Lets get you changed too little man" she said softly and took Surion's hand and they headed to get him changed
Torvil quickly changed and waiting in the living room for Ala and Surion
Surion hurried into the living room in a clean outfit
"Get his moccassins would you?" Ala called out as she went to change her top
Torvil smiled and called back. "Kay!" He said, grabbing the moccasins and motioning to Surion to come sit and get them on.
Surion ran over and climbed up onto the couch near his father "Shooooeeesss!"
Torvil chuckled. "Yes shoes..." He smiled and helped him get them on.
Surion giggled wiggling his toes as his father put them on him
Ala wandered into the room a few minutes later ready to go
Torvil smiled and got Surion's shoes on with little hassle, then set him down with a smile. "Okay, lets head on out... I'd say we'd take the car but it's erm... not... working at the moment.
Ala laughed "Somehow that doesn't entirely surprise me" she said as her wings slid from her back as she moved to pick Surion up
Torvil chuckled softly and stood, letting his wings slide free as well. "But I'll get it working, and finished the road..."
Ala nodded "Okies"
Surion giggled and wrapped his arms around his mom's neck. "We go fly!"
Torvil chuckled softly and nodded with a smile.
Ala smiled "Ok lets go" she said and headed for the front door her wings twitching wanting to be stretched wide but she didn't like to do that inside since she tended to knock things over if she did
Torvil smiled and followed her licking his lips... another time, another day maybe... He thought to himself as he walked with a slight grin.
Ala spread her wings and took off for Barton
And Torvil followed behind...
