True to his Mama's word, Caleb made it out of The Visit unscathed. And when they'd left, his mom did a lot of hugging to the point he'd actually started pushing her away with a totally age-appropriate 'ew, mom's hugging me!' gross face.

And he didn't think his mom minded, even!
It wasn't until the next day, when his mom was at work, that he made the tiny trek across the complex over to Casper's place.

He wanted to get Casper's input on things.

"Naah, not really. Whales and seals and the occasional basking shark. Perfectly harmless. Now..." He stands, looking out over the lake. "Last one in is a rotten egg!" Though he'll give Caleb a seconds head-start.

Casper is right on his heels, though he stays on his heels even though he could easily have run past him. Yeah, he'll be the rotten egg. Though oncer in the water he passes Caleb with a shallow dive.

"Ack!" Splash, a face full of water. And while that's not so bad, Casper makes a show of recoiling and falling over into the water. Just because.

"Silly?" he rises up. "Silly?" With a roar contracting nicely to his amused grin, he lunges for the boy to start a playfight. Just because.

Later, when hanging from a raft anchored a little bit off shore, catching their breaths for a moment, Casper decides to bring up something of a serious subject. Hopefully a rather happy one, but still serious. "Hey, Caleb? Can I ask you something?" He pauses to wipe away from wet hair that was clinging to his forehead. "If I were to ask your mom to marry me, would you be okay with that?" The kid may be just that, a kid. There are things he's just too young to really understand, and with so many things yet to learn. But Casper refuses to treat him as ignorant, and with a thing like this, he honestly wants the boy's input. It is going to affect the biy, after all, if it happens.

"Pretty much." If their two separate small families became one, there would be more everyday issues, and Caleb and Casper were sure to butt head sometimes when they disagreed on things. But that's just how things are, perfectly normal.

There's another pause as Casper thinks. "...think she'd say yes?" That is an actual worry for him. Two times in the past he's thought of asking a woman for her hand in marriage, and both times he's had his heart broken before getting the chance. So if there's a little part of him saying, no just let things be as they are, he understands it. But he's not going to listen to it.

Yes, Casper's pretty sure she like likes him. Heh. But Ivy and him have never discussed marriage, so... Maybe he should just bring the topic up sometime, instead of just springing the question on her. Ah, he'd just have to see.

But at least now he knew that Caleb was okay with it, should it happen. Though he probably should talk with his own sons about it as well.

"We'll just have to see how it goes. But, regardless of what happens, you know that you're always welcome around, right?"

"You are." Bad things can always happen, though despite his slight anxieties Casper isn't really worried. Not really. But he wants Caleb to understand that him caring about him isn't dependent on his relationship with Ivy.

Still, best to not dwell on things, right? It's a far too nice day for that. "I'm getting all pruny here," Casper states, perfectly truthfully. "Race yo to shore?"

Even though the sky is where Caper feels mostly as home, he has a thing for water as well. Swimming is really the closest thing a human can get to experience weightlessness and flying. With that and having been raised by the sea, it's only natural that he's a good swimmer.

He's quickly going after Caleb, not planning on just handing over the win this time.

Casper could cheat. If he wanted to. Shapeshifting can indeed give one a certain advantage. But he doesn't. Because that would simply be unfair.

Besides, he's a grown-up. He has the advantage anyway. Can Caleb still beat him?

"I'm pretty sure of that too," Casper agrees, grinning as they leave the water and walk up the beach. "You sure you're not related to fish? No webbed fingers or toes?"

"Obviously not. You don't have any feathers." Because, logic.

"I'm hungry," he states as he flops down on his towel. But Ivy would probably be showing up soon. Yay!

That makes Casper laugh. "I can believe that." Caleb is a growing boy; food is serious business. "But please, do save at least a little bit for me."

Casper makes a face at the mention of preservatives. "Yeah, I'm with your mom on this one." Caleb should be familiar enough with the contents of Casper's fridge by now, as well as his cooking. But since he did bring out the ice cream earlier, he can't be all that bad. "But the question now is: what will she be bringing today?"
