making new friends ((tag Kairos))

After having a good conversation with Kairos after her last adventure in the Nexus, April decided to invite the Slyph over to spend some time. It was a good way to get to know her new friend better.

"From the choices they make. That's .. fascinating. Makes me wish I studied people more than I do. I wonder why they choose differently?"

"I think I misspoke. Different woman in that it is not an alternate of me. But all the other Clarks I know end up with a Lois. Its sort of concerning."

"I just want to make my Clark happy."

"Oh, my mistake. I'm sorry to hear that." Kairos isn't sure what to say, to be honest. "I'm sure you do. You seem like a lovely woman."

"Awww thank you." April gently reached out to touch Kairo's on the shoulder.

"We have faced a lot of challenges, Clark and I. But I have never regretted making the decision to start our relationship."

"That's good. Relationships are hard to begin with, and when you consider different universes.." she shrugs. "But entirely worth it."

"If you ever want to talk about it in more depth, like for example in regard to Connor..." April left the invitation open.

"So what you want to do today?"

[identity profile] kairos-aether.livejournal.com 2010-10-04 04:58 am (UTC)(link)
She lifts an eyebrow. "Am I that obvious?" She shrugs a little. "Connor and I are friends. I... I'm pretty sure there's something there. The extent.. I don't know. I don't want to presume. But he's coming home to me, after he speaks to Duncan." Drunken kisses - and a few not so drunken kisses - and dinners are the extent of their fledgling courtship.

"I'm yours! I haven't gotten the chance to explore as much as I want to, so I'd love it if you'd show me around. I can show you around Sanctuary next time."

"I sometimes can see things in people." April explains. "And you will have one friend who can offer good advice."

"Well we can explore Rome for a while. It is a beautiful city."

"I once had a friend from that relative area. Except that was lifetimes ago." In their world, her old friend would be dust by now. It makes her sad, but somehow she still wants to go. "Rome sounds great. If you don't mind."

"Its no problem at all." April smiles. She will use her PINpoint to create a portal from her Nexus apartment to the villa in Rome where she resides.

It is a beautiful old villa, set on the edge of the mountainside by the beaches. And there is a calm feeling in the atmosphere right now. A good thing, considering that Kairos has just entered the Buffyverse.

Considering Kairos has no idea about just what goes on in the Buffyverse, it's a good thing all is calm. She's pretty sheltered, even if she does live in a dangerous city.

"Oh. Look. It's.. so pretty. I could sit and paint forever, I think."

"You should see it at sunrise. Or sunset." April had chosen the afternoon, because hardly any dmeons or other dark forces go out during the day.

She will guide Kairos down the walkway, towards the city proper.

"Gorgeous, huh.." Kairos is listening, honest. But she's also looking around like crazy. Looking out towards the beaches - oh, and there it is. Just a slight tug of her heartstrings.

Noting that Kairos seems to be looking towards the beach, April will select a winding path that keeps them visible to the ocean and the beaches. It is a quiet residential area, with children playing here and there. The music and sounds of Rome rush around them. And generally April keeps her pace slow and steady, in appreciation of the culture around her.

And Kairos loves the sight and the scents and the sounds. She keeps herself next to April, just in case. She doesn't want to get lost again. It doesn't make any sense why she'd be staring out at the ocean so hard, because she knows that little country doesn't exist in modern times. But she thinks if she does look hard enough, she might see something. "Had a friend that lived in the Mediterranean." she says softly to her new friend. "I never got to visit, but I keep thinking that maybe Rome would be close."

"Lived in it? Like a mermaid?" April asked softly.

[identity profile] kairos-aether.livejournal.com 2010-10-05 01:30 am (UTC)(link)
That kind of shakes her. She looks over at April, shaking her head. "Oh. No. Island. He was part of an island nation. That nation does not exist in our era, and the people I knew are..."

"Oh." April can guess at the end of the sentance.

"There is an art district down this way." Distraction from the sadness perhaps.

[identity profile] kairos-aether.livejournal.com 2010-10-05 03:49 am (UTC)(link)
"Oh. Really?" Kairos is curious. "Gods, I love going shopping. And galleries!"

[identity profile] slayers-desire.livejournal.com 2010-10-05 03:54 am (UTC)(link)
"I have found the cutest little dress shops, vendor places with artwork, and little trickets in this area. I am hoping to find a prom dress sooner or later." April laughed. "And there are plenty of galleries around here too. Private ones."

"When you find the dress, let me see it. I've got jewelry."

[identity profile] slayers-desire.livejournal.com 2010-10-05 04:06 am (UTC)(link)
"I am thinking blue. Like Clark's eyes." April is still seeking for the right look.

[identity profile] kairos-aether.livejournal.com 2010-10-05 04:21 am (UTC)(link)
"Aw. Sweet. Blue's the best color."

[identity profile] slayers-desire.livejournal.com 2010-10-05 04:28 am (UTC)(link)
Entering an area where artists have their work on display, April gives Kairos a small smile. "The exchange rate down here is pretty reasonable."

"And it just so happens I did bring money!" There's a small smile of her own. "Last time I went out on a field trip, so to speak, John and I went to this alien planet. Came home with some vases."
