RP > nostalgia strikes again

[gearsof.livejournal.com]

[ 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. ]

[ there is someone lightly knocking on the door ]

[looneyrune.livejournal.com]

Come in!

[gearsof.livejournal.com]

[ opens the door and pokes his head in ] I thought I heard someone chatting in here.

[looneyrune.livejournal.com]

Apparently my boy-- [ cue meow ] -- missed the sound of my voice.

[gearsof.livejournal.com]

I don't blame him. I admit I'm not the best of company.

[looneyrune.livejournal.com]

Are you kidding? You're the best kind of company!

[gearsof.livejournal.com]

That opinion might very well change if I couldn't see you.

... How are you feeling?

[looneyrune.livejournal.com]

But you're so much more conversational now.

[ sitting up a little straighter and rubbing her forehead ] Still kind of lousy, but I think that's more the cold than anything. A lot less tired, that's for sure. [ and now she's grinning ] Did you miss me?

[gearsof.livejournal.com]

It's far too quiet around here without you. [ that's as close to a "yes" as you're getting ]

Can I get you anything?

[looneyrune.livejournal.com]

[ progress is progress. ]

I'm fine, I'll just chug some orange juice later. [ giving her bed a pat ] Sit, you're hurting my neck.

[gearsof.livejournal.com]

[ hesitates for a moment- this isn't exactly something he's used to- before coming in to sit. ]

[looneyrune.livejournal.com]

[ she, on the other hand, is totally fine. ]

So what've you been up to?

[gearsof.livejournal.com]

Unfortunately little. I went for a walk or two, though.

[looneyrune.livejournal.com]

In this weather? You brave soul.

[gearsof.livejournal.com]

I'm either brave or foolish.

[looneyrune.livejournal.com]

Maybe both.

... [ smacking her forehead lightly ] Oh right, traveling. Are you still up to that? I mean, my family's kind of insane, so if you don't want to put up with a bunch of people asking you a ton of questions...

[gearsof.livejournal.com]

Truth be told, I'm kind of curious to meet your family and-

Have you told them about me?

[looneyrune.livejournal.com]

Most of them, but I'm sure the word's spread to everyone by now. Only the immediate family knows where - and when - you're actually from, though.

[gearsof.livejournal.com]

Ah. Well, I can handle questions easily enough.

[looneyrune.livejournal.com]

Brave soul, like I said. If you thought I was curious, I've got nothing on them.

[gearsof.livejournal.com]

Brave or foolish, as I said, but I think the thought of airplane travel has won me over.

[looneyrune.livejournal.com]

... [ she is not chuckling, really ] Just don't get scared when we're over ten thousand feet above ground, okay?

[gearsof.livejournal.com]

Over- the technology of this age never ceases to amaze me.

[looneyrune.livejournal.com]

... Says the guy with about a million metal arms.

[gearsof.livejournal.com]

Still, they don't grant me the ability to fly.
