a prime factor? yes please. (tag)

[Micah Nottingham]

Micah had cataloged to the extreme and while majority of it centered around Trove he had other parts too that he could set in motion. He had managed to get a small amount of time away and he wanted to check in on Vivian. He had last left her in contact with Decipher and he simply wanted to make sure that she was okay. He knew she was smart, damn near amazing with numbers but he did not know if she had yet had time to sit down and examine the gift that he had left her.

It was not a gift like Decipher did because it was not one of flash but instead one of what he thought was substance when it came to her. They had a few run ins here and there but this would be only the second time that he felt that they collided in a way and had a true understanding of one another and that made him smile as he seen her on the video call and waved much too excitedly. "Vi!" he said as his hand still went crazy and then he slowly gathered himself. "I know you could not make it out but you know what thanks to all this technology we can talk." He leaned over and pulled out a set of number blocks and began to place them in his lap. "I left you a gift, not one like this but I mean this is to help because visual aids are where it's at. Did you figure it out yet?" He knew all too well Decipher had to have spilled the beans in her own way. "I mean did you decipher it?" He asked as he cracked up laughing. "I've missed you and that numerical way of thinking but in all seriousness how are things?"

She did not like gifts because she did not like all the solutions that ran through her head about what it could be and why it seemed like she never knew so when she had a gift from Micah and as she finally noticing him waving frantically she just shook her head. "Hi I haven't figured it all out no just a little bit of it is all." She was still trying to figure out why it was meant for her.

"I think that this is a nice gift, I've never had a math mug though I kind of thought it might mean that I am going to need a lot of hot chocolate to get through whatever it is you need of me and then I realized it's just a nice mug because math is awesome." She took a few seconds. "You know what that is the first time a guy has missed my brain." It was nice to be recognized for your good parts. "So what do you need from me when you get back?"

She looked over the mug and was not going to let her numerical brain get the best of her as she pushed her hair back. "Hold that thought," she said as she got up and grabbed a piece of paper and pencil and came back. "Alright go ahead," she said as she placed the mug down on the paper and traced the outside and then put the mug to the side. "I do always love circles but Micah what do you need?" she asked as she picked the paper up and turned it side ways. "Still a circle for the most part" she said as she waited on him.

"Well," he said. "If a person can't appreciate your intellect along with the rest of you then they can simply go screw off," he said. She had taught him that there was more to people who he loved than just how they looked and he was so apprreciative of that because at the end of the day he felt like it was truly helping him be better with Trove. "I am glad you like it." He did need her help but he also knew that he could tell her and she would help guide him through it.

He waited until she returned and he cleared his throat. "Well," he said as he felt like he was about to fumble over his words but he did not want to. "As I have previously discussed with you Trove and I are pretty much X and Y and how I feel and all of that crap so I was wondering if maybe there was a way that you could acquire something for me, it needs to have enough reflection so that when the sun sparkles through she can see the wavelength of colors and I'd prefer it be a necklace than a ring because if it's a ring she's gonna be trying to plan a wedding and I'm not the marrying type but a necklace would be okay."

He tried so hard to make memories, good ones to help ease through the pain of the bad ones. "I mean if it has to be a ring then it can be a ring just not anything that even fucking resembles a wedding ring and nothing that is going to break me when I pay you for it."

She listened and nodded. "Wow I don't know how much sleep you have been getting lately but you need to keep it up. I agree but moving on to what you need." She had learned that Micah seemed to always be going back and forth figuring things out but this was the first time that she could say it seemed he had an idea and a plan and was doing what was needed to make sure that it kept going in the end which would only make her wanting to help him easier in the end.

"I will scope out and see what I can come up with and yes make it simple so she does not get the wrong idea but the right idea even though let's be honest eventually it's all going to lead there anyway. As you know from what my mother taught you some people you just are connected with and there is such a variable of relationships that connections even friendships can be stronger than the traditional way that some of the world sees things." She took a minute to rub the bridge of her nose. "So many numerical ways to define a relationship and my favorite of not saying anything at all but yes I will find something for you."

She laughed. "I'll do this one for free because I need a favor." It would make them even and that was better for her as opposed to keeping up with the amount of favors that were owed. "When you get closer to me, I need you to come see me and help me with this pattern. It's just a family history thing is all and I need some advice about my father."

"Thank you Vi," he said. He did not expect it to go over so smoothly so he was on a bit of high alert when she had agreed so easily and then he heard her speak and he was fine with it. If she felt comfortable enough to talk about it then he would help her get all the answers that he knew just fine.

"What type of things are you looking for specifically? I can swing by the family home and see if anything that you need is there already and that might be the best way to go in the end and you know you can always end up texting me more and I will make sure that I have more before we actually see one another face to face so that we can hash it all out or at least most of it at once in the end."

He did miss his uncle but he also knew what it was like to lose a father and so he was going to do his best to help her. "I think this might be the first time that we have talked about family history that concerns both of us at once anyway."

She was still fresh when it came to talking about her actual parents and not those who had raised her but she was not bitter. "I think enough time has passed that I could talk about it and not feel sad because I do not like that and I think as long as it's you and I we will be good. I don't mean any disrespect to Decipher but I feel that she has a lot of anger bottled up and that might lead to tears and I would rather not have that."

She had been talking to her mother so she had a little information here and there but she was observant enough to know that if she wanted true facts then Micah was where she had to go. "As far as your gift I think I know what will work. It will not have much flash and it will not be gaudy either, all things that should be good when you hand it over to her." She took a second. "You know if you want to give me some numbers I could probably figure out where you are and come to you if you could make time that way and it would be easier."

"Well they do say that time heals all wounds so it is very possible. I believe that eventually anything that brought us any bad memories or feelings does find a way to heal itself. Some of it of course is easier than others but the general gist is the same because as a once famous person said the world does continue to turn while the pain finds a way to genuinely subdue itself." Okay so he had no real idea if anyone had ever actually said that but it sounded nice and he did like how it sounded.

"You can simply let me know when the gift is ready and I.." he paused a second trying to figure out if he wanted to let her know where he was. He had no doubt she could figure it out and he did like the idea of having someone else there to help him not get too burnt out while he was working with Trove. "Grab a pen and pad or pencil if you prefer. I could use your help just a little bit." He had always been fascinated with how her brain worked anyway and to pass up a chance to see it in action was a mistake that he did not want to make.

Being able to envision the world in a number sense sometimes was a pain but there were times much like this one where Vivian was always grateful for the fact that she did see the world how she did. She was not the type to ever take a trip but she knew at the moment Micah was not coming to her so she had to go to him. "I will see you soon enough." She said as she closed the laptop.

A few days later she was packing and she hated that. The heat had somehow managed to triple during the daytime but at night while it was still hot it felt cooler. She knew it was the humidity but she still could not believe it. None the less she had booked a flight scheduled to leave at four pm the local time and arrive early the next morning. She pulled her belongings into the car and closed her eyes.

Flights had never been an easy thing for her and her parents were always attempting to whisk her off here and there until she did the whole boarding school thing which only made her dislike everything even more but at least now she had arrived as she sent Micah a text alerting him that she was now in town in a way.

He had always considered himself a decent host but that was when he had more time to prepare. None the less he knew Vivian did not care about anything like that so it made the way he was going to unexpectedly have to greet her okay. He had not went and made any signs or anything but simply chose a coffee shop off of a corner and ordered some sweets, a tea, and a coffee. He did not drink it much but he knew that they had a lot to talk about and that was a good thing. He watched intently for the uber.

He was a little worried not because he did not think that she could take care of herself but there was something about riding with a stranger that still somehow scared him in the end. None the less he smiled when he seen the uber pull up and actually seen her step out. He waved through the glass and pointed to the food as he waited and let out a deep breath. Their last face to face meeting had went surprisingly well so while he had high hopes for this one he was going to stay planted in the fact that realistically she might have questions he would refuse to answer for the better of the both of them.

She stepped out and paid for her uber ride before going in and sitting down at the same table as Miach except across from him. She was grateful for once to be able to be out and have a conversation that might actually lead somewhere as far as answers went. "Hi" she said. When they had first met it had been hard to honestly know if they would get along well enough to do anything for when someone that you did not know came into your life that was how it always seemed to go. None the less they had an interaction or two and it went good enough. "Thank you for giving me the coordinates."

She did have so many questions but she also just wanted to see how he was. He seemed okay and nervous at the same time and that worried her a little bit. "As I have been learning to adjust I do not know why this is all of a sudden important to me, I just know that it is." She had a string of nervousness in her own voice but she was going to see it through as much as she could. "It's like being so curious about something that you simply have to see it through even if it is bad, have you ever felt like that?"
