Where to find who?

An old... acquaintance. Last I heard he was in Mexico, with the drug cartels.

Maybe hiring a private investigator could help.

Probably not, but I appreciate the suggestion.

Well I was just thinking, Mexico plus drug cartels... it might not be safe to go in yourself looking for whoever you're looking for.

No, probably not at all, but it isn't my safety I'm concerned about.

Maybe you should ask yourself if he wants to be found?

I suppose that's a very kind way of hinting that he doesn't.

I thought it more common sense. And, it probably depends on who we are talking about.

It doesn't matter.

You want to find him; it obviously matters. I apologize for being rather foward with your private business, I should introduce myself first - Merrick Triton. In some circles, it is just Triton. [Pointed look].

I shouldn't want to find him, therefore, I'll take this as the Fates hint that it is.

[A small smile.] Triton. Of course. Brighid Sanchez.

The Fates do not get to decide everything.

Yes. Fates daughter and his, the captain. A pleasure to meet you.

I do not argue with them. You can.

Yes, his. The pleasure is mine.

They know as well as I do that mortals, even ones with just a smidgen of mortal, are all born with choice.

Which brings back to the original topic, who are you looking for. Your father?

Not my father, no. If I needed to speak with him, he would come. He's always been there for me.

I appreciate your concern, but I'll be fine.

That is too true.

If you are sure, then. I have heard you have daughters yourself, is that true?

I do, I have three: Astrid, Brenna and Calista. Beautiful girls.

Color me envious. One day I'd like to have daughters.

You have quite a bit of time, yes?

[Laughs] An unfortunate side-effect to being a son of a god. I hope the future mother of my daughters do not hold that too much against me. That, and my fish tail once it returns.

We all have parts of ourselves that others must learn to love and accept.

Seems like everyone finds loving easier than accepting. They are quick to fall in love and find the accepting part hard. Like you said I have a long time, I’ll find the right person who can balance both.

Is life treating you well?

I understand completely.

Quite well. I have everything I need. Yourself?
