She didn't tell him she never planned becaus she thought the world would be destroyed, and she would likely be dead or evil. She couldn't tell him those things but she could tell him her experiences vaguely. "Parents don't tend to agree with their childrens choices about what they want to do with their life. It's an age old argument. Some people have worse times with it than others, but from what I've heard your parents seem like wonderful people, I'm sure they'd be supportive of whatever you choose." She said with a shrug.
"Well, none of us really have our families. So we became our own. We're a group of friends, a family and a team. The five of us are really close, we've done practically everything together for three years and with time I hope that eventually Cassandra and Terra can be as much a part of that family as the rest of us are. And, I have other friends too, ones that don't live with us, but we see eachother far less often." She said, trying to explain her family without giving too much away. She felt a little bad about talking about her friends so much, but it was hard not to when they were such an integral part of her life.

"It sounds like it worked out perfectly for you guys then. Its really good you found each other, sounds like you help each other a lot." Seth smiled before shrugging "my parents are nice but I find them really controlling. I'd like to think I had proven I was able to make choices and do things in a responsible way but nope. I guess they just worry or something like you see them do on TV. Do you watch much TV?" Random question perhaps but it was semi-relevant. He was pretty sure she didn't but you never know.
"I was thinking, perhaps you could teach me something in return for piano lessons? " With yet another smile he leaned back in, the thought of learning a new language or perhaps about whatever was in the magic books was definitely intriguing. "Doesn't need to be anything major just a mutual exchange of skills, just realized you were supposed to be asking the questions now, sorry I'll shush again and let you think."

That was an understatement. Without her friens she was sure that both she, and her friends and the world would probably be dead or enslaved. She would not have been able to stand against her father without knowing them, so she was glad for that day when Starfire came from space to bring them all together. "I don't actuall. Unless you count movie night. Whenever we can we tend to watch a movie together and alternate between who gets to pick." She said. "Otherwise when the television is on it's Vic and Garfield playing video games, or someone flicking through televisions stations to only turn it off a few minutes later." She said. She had to admit it was only when someone in the group was extremely bored when the television actually got turned on, and she sometimes wondered why they bothered with spending money for cable.
"I'm not much f a teacher, but maybe I could teach you some stuff about meditation sometime." She said. She would need to eventually come up with a reaosn why exactly he could not come over to her place if he wanted to, but that would come later. He didn't need t find out they lived in a giant T.

"Meditation and me, could be interesting. Though I don't know if I can sit in silence for that long. Never actually tried. Sure, besides I'm sure there is a lot more to it than sitting in one spot for ages in silence. That has to be a stereotype." Seth nodded more to himself than Raven "Sounds like it could be a fun swap. Will I need anything special?"
Seth had a lot of weird ideas about what the actual practice of meditation would involve but that had a lot to do with TV, probably watched too much but he found it a great source for learning new things and seeing what life was like. It was because of that his creators allowed him to watch TV so much, it helped fill in the blanks from their own programming but not enough as he still hit stumbling blocks but people hardly noticed.
"Oh!" Seth grinned and taking a hold of one of the napkin and a pen from his jacket wrote down his cell number "before I forget, this is my number. Hope that's not too forward but I'm really enjoying this and would like to meet up again, when you have time of course."

"Different techniques work for different people. Some people do the sitting in silence for hours, I chant. It depends. It's mostly about clearing your mind from outside stimulus and entering your own mind. It's about for a short time at least being in total peace with yourself." She said with a shrug. She was lucky if she got a halfhour of continuous meditation time.
"Comfortable clothes and a place to go. My place is not conducive to beginners. I've been practicing to be able to block out things like people and loud noises but my friends test even my patience and I've been meditating since I was a little girl." She told him. It was a good enough excuse as well as a legitamite excuse.
"Thank you very much. I had a good time as well, and I would very much like to do this again." She said with a smile that came surprinsingly easy. She scrawled out her own number on another napkin. "If you happen to call someone else answers don't let them give you a hard time about asking for me. Kori would be ecstatic but for some reason I think Garfield might tease you," she added, figuring it only polite that they provide their own number. Recently they added a new phone line to Titans tower so they knew when to answer as the Teen Titans and when to answer as regular people.

With a grin Seth put the number into his pocket, quite surprised that she enjoyed herself. Completely sure he had messed it up with his random yammering and then the headache Seth was sure he had come across as a complete moron but it seemed that he was just being paranoid. Unless this was just out of pity? Nah Rachel wasn't that sort of girl, in fact he was sure if she had been annoyed or upset at any point she would have just said good bye and left.
"Thank you, I'm sure I can put up with the occasional tease from down the phone" he nodded with a smile "I'll try to be nice if they mess me about, though I might claim medical expenses if Kori bursts my ear drums from squealing down the line. Its cute I guess that she's wanting to see you be more social." Not wanting to jinx things by saying that Kori was pleased more by the fact that Raven was getting male attention he skipped the use of Boyfriend.
Out of the corner of his eye he caught a movement that made his stomach sink slightly "Oh thats just great." Turning completely now to look at the window and the man and woman getting out the car that had just pulled up "My parents, they always seem to be able to find me. I should go......really not how I wanted this to end but if they see you then its probably going to be twenty questions for both of us."
Getting up he pulled on his jacket and sighed slightly annoyed "I really enjoyed myself, thank you again. I'm really looking forward to our next meet up" Giving Raven a smile he moved to the door just before the older couple got there. With another look back at Rachel before he started making excuses to his parents about why he was out and hadn't told them. Soon inside the car and driving away Seth couldn't help but smile as his parents lectured him on going out without telling them.

"I had good time too. It's been a while since I had a real conversation with anyone other than the people I live with our other friends from our old school. I think there should be a fund for that, medical expenses due to Kori's excitability." She added as a joke.
"It's fine really, I don't..." She started, but was cut off by the loud beeping of her communicator. "Actually that's my phone I need to get going too. Normally I would say, that's ok I can deal with parents." as long as they weren' her own. "but i really have to go as well." She added, quickly as he went towards his parents.
She gave him a quick wave when he looked back before slipping into the empty ladies room to take the call from Robin, it was something minor and but she was sure she was going to get a lecture for disobeying protocol and forgetting her costume. Sure, she could teleport to the tower but it was still something that was frownd upon.
