RP > nostalgia strikes again

[ It is a relatively quiet day in the apartment of one Saga Laskaris- unless you were to wander into the kitchen. Then you would find all manner of things happening, dishes heaped up everywhere, and some very tantalizing smells coming from the sizzling skillets on the stove top. In the middle of it is Alabaster, in a simple t-shirt and jeans (and no shoes. Just socks), bustling back and forth, metallic arms zipping everywhere. ]

[ ... probably just as well, since she's kind of keeling over outside. ]

[ when she doesn't come back, he pokes his head outside and, oh look, there she is. He's hurrying over and kneeling ] Saga?

[looneyrune.livejournal.com]

... It's cold.

[gearsof.livejournal.com]

Come on, let's get you inside. Can you stand?

[looneyrune.livejournal.com]

[ very slowly, but doing so! ]

[gearsof.livejournal.com]

[ offers her an arm for support ]

[looneyrune.livejournal.com]

[ considering her pride, but then accepting it ]

... Sorry. I just know... how to show you a fun time, huh?

[gearsof.livejournal.com]

You can make it up to me later. [ slowly guiding her inside ]

[looneyrune.livejournal.com]

If you... wanted a date, you... could've just asked. [ there is never not a good time to tease-- although she's kind of sagging out of relief once they're in. ]

[gearsof.livejournal.com]

I'll have you know I'm marking that statement up to exhaustion.

Can you hold out long enough to dry off-?

[looneyrune.livejournal.com]

... Duly noted.

[ she's having a hard time keeping her eyes open, but she's nodding anyway. ]

[ guides her into the bathroom, then, to find a towel ]

[looneyrune.livejournal.com]

[ you are an excellent guide dog-- I mean, the shivering won't stop, so dragging out the fluffiest towel in the cabinet ]

[gearsof.livejournal.com]

[ this is the part where he's a little awkward, though. He's not sure if he should help her or what ]

[looneyrune.livejournal.com]

[ he may have to, unless he wants her to doze off mid-toweling :( ]

[gearsof.livejournal.com]

[ ...well then, very carefully aiding with the toweling ]

[looneyrune.livejournal.com]

Hey... [ damn drooping ] how do you feel about traveling?

[gearsof.livejournal.com]

[ ... just. taking over with the toweling. ] Are you referring to time-traveling or traveling of the regular sort?

[looneyrune.livejournal.com]

[ let us never speak of this toweling again. ] Regular. ... Although by plane, so it'd still be new to you.

[gearsof.livejournal.com]

[ what toweling \o_O/ ]

I've never had much of an opportunity to travel, so I couldn't say one way or another. Why?

[looneyrune.livejournal.com]

[ exactly. ]

... It's my grandmother's birthday coming up, and it's... sort of a huge family affair. I'd be there for around a week, so...

[gearsof.livejournal.com]

If you'd have me, I wouldn't mind coming along.

[ there, all dry! ] We can discuss this further once you're not in danger of collapsing.

[looneyrune.livejournal.com]

Of course I... [ giving her head a shake to keep him in focus ]

... Okay, good plan.

[gearsof.livejournal.com]

Come on, then. [ back to that guiding thing- maybe this time she'll actually make it to her bed without collapsing? ]

[looneyrune.livejournal.com]

[ only because of sheer stubbornness and guiding, but she's flashing him a smile and a thumbs up once the bed has been reached-- and flopping into it unceremoniously ]

I think... I'm getting a little better at this.
