[oom: Shufti has a difficult conversation with Jack.]

It's been a tough day, and with Jack shutting himself in his room all evening, Shufti isn't quite sure what to do. Mumsnet didn't have a section on what to do if your child's biological father lives in another universe.

Still, there are things that need doing, so the first thing she does when she gets back, after her usual 'In/out' notice with Bar, is to leave a note on the board in the office. Then she gets a decaf tea and sits at the bar, pinning on her Security badge, and keeping an eye on the place.

"Taking him to the Disc, so he may see you are willing to not withhold his roots from him, might be a helpful start," Teja says.

[shufti]

"I will think about it." Shufti says. "It would be better when he is older, even if we were to come out in Lancre."

[ostro_goth]

"It will depends on how tenacious he is," Teja says. "If you make him wait too long, the quest for his roots would take on, maybe, even too much, too deep a meaning for him."

[shufti]

"What does tenacious mean?" Shufti asks.

[ostro_goth]

"Stubborn, hanging on to one's goal and getting it," Teja says.

[shufti]

"Oh, well he may lose interest in a few weeks." Shufti says. "Like the time he wanted to be a baseball star. I don't want to keep his world from him, I just don't know if he's ready."

[ostro_goth]

"See how long he persists, and when he does so for a month more, take him," Teja suggests.

[shufti]

"Fair enough." Shufti nods.

[ostro_goth]

"So you need not worry again before a month is past," Teja says, conclusively.
