One thing to could be said about holidays in the Kagan home- it was always dramatic. In those rare moments that Ty was under the same roof with the rest of them, there was usually screaming between him and someone else at some point. Heather suspected that he was still dealing....dealing the war, the sudden child thing, mental illness. It probably didn't excuse him, at all, but there was some of his behavior that familiar.

"Ty's taking Ollie to the airport." Heather, said after Hadyn and Ollie had disappeared from the kitchen. Hadyn to deal with, as usual, the screaming. Ollie left to pack up the rest of his stuff, coffee in hand. And that left Heather and Micah to, well, fend for themselves. "Do you think drama can be bred into a family line?" There had to be some sort of explanation.

"I mean...it's a little early to say that," Micah said as he mixed eggs with milk. "It'll go one of two ways. He'll convince me to move down to Atlanta and search for a job, or I'll stay in New York for a while and we'll do the long distance thing. He keeps talling me that there are mathematician jobs at the CDC but, heh, not really in my field." More statistics. Which was probably about as exciting as teaching freshman bio had been for Izak.

"I don't know. We'll see how it goes, I guess."

"You could find a college, or something. Though, honestly, I don't see him staying in Atalanta. Izak's too....New Englandy, you know? He gets a sunburn just thinking about being in the sun, and doesn't know what it means to never get snow and stuff. It might be a dream job- but is it a job, job...or more like an internship?" There was some hope if that was the case.

"He'll...come around, I bet."

"The humidity would do horrible things to both of our hair," Micah said dryly, because hair was always number one on both of their lists of priorities. "It's a real job. Research position. But you're right, as much as he wants to work there, I don't know that he will forever." At least he hoped not.

"College jobs are hard to come by," he said, though. "That's why I'm still a postdoc as it is. There's a lot more math phds than there are professorships. But you never know, I guess. Something could pop up." He'd put feelers out, though, and the only bite he'd gotten so far was from, well. A community college.
