Time Change (all spots taken)

[KittKat chunky~]

Katka shook his hand in return, the hot flush returning to her cheeks as she glanced down at herself. She grinned in return, muttering sheepishly "Yeah, you could probably mistake me for someone from this time period I guess... What with the World War two jacket and everything..." 


Still blushing she turned away from Nestor for a moment, rubbing her upper arm in an awkward fashion with her tail flicking. She turned back to steal a glance up at him with a small grin as she muttered "I guess it is nice to know someone from our time is here, yeah..."

[Cifero Windtail]

Nestor smiled back. "Yeah... kind of like those books where one person gets trapped in another dimension and he or she finds another person from their world." He flicked an ear nonchalantly. "So what do you do back in our time?"

[Aldrea945]

She smiled as she drank her tea. "ah. but i do require payment.. nothing to large of a sum... just for you to be my eyes and ears where ever you go... and if i get the names or descriptions.. it is possible i can help you."

 
Danny looked at her suspiciously.  "How do I know you won't use it to cause trouble?  I DID just meet you."

[KittKat chunky~]

Katka shrugged sheepishly "I'm a mechanic. Still learning the trade though... Mr O'reilly was teaching me a lot about how to fix up antique vehicles-" She stopped, a pain expression at the mention of O'reilly, ears flat back.  After a moment she gave a small shake of her head, ears perking up again as she glanced to Nestor "What about you?"


She gave small smirk "I would've guessed at a firefighter or something like that, with the way you carried me over your shoulder... And I'm not exactly lightweight..." At the last comment she smirked and pinched herself just above the hip, finger and thumb sinking into soft flesh as another pink flush rose up her white-furred cheeks.

[Cifero Windtail]

Nestor chuckled. "Well, I suppose I kind of help my father to help the police with crimes... there are some places he can't go into that I can, and since he's just another policeman and I'm... well, myself, sometimes he figures it's better to send me in because I'll attract less attention. But I have learned other skills that can be helpful at times, such as being able to carry people." He grinned. "And you're not fat. You just... um..." He blushed too. "Sorry, can't really think of a way to say what I'm trying to say delicately... hmm... well, let's say you have a slightly heavyset figure that could be considered quite handsome."


( Um... what kind of clothes is Katka wearing? Because... well, I'm just a bit confused about it, is there a hole in one side of her shirt or something?)

[KittKat chunky~]

Katka shrugged, rubbing her upper arm with the other hand in an awkward fashion as she muttered "No need to be delicate about it... I know I'm not the skinny little thing I used to be when I was younger. Not like I don't try to keep fit, my metabolism just seems to hate me." 


Her ears lay flat as she glanced away from Nestor, sullenly thinking to herself 'No need to be delicate, but I had hoped he might say something other than fat... Curvy, maybe. I'd even have been happy with chubby.' She sighed, eyes flicking across to Nestor 'What the frack am I doing anyway? Trying to flirt with some guy I've just met, after traveling through time... Nothing makes sense anymore!"


Katka's tail flicked back and forth as she stared at a point just to the left of Nestor, then suddenly her ears perked up again and she glanced to him. The pink flush remained in her cheeks but a slightly more cheerful, if forced, look shone in her blue eyes "So you fight crime with you father? Sounds exciting..."




(   Uh, yeah I could have described that better. She pinched herself through her t-shirt which she wears under the jacket... The jacket still has a tear in it, but not the shirt     If you want to check her description its here:  http://www.thefurryforum.com/forums/index.php?topic=19868.msg879021#msg879021 )

[Cifero Windtail]

(He did say curvy.  He just said it weirdly. And thank you for clearing that clothing issue up.)
"Yeah..." he coughed. "Um, I... i don't think I used the right wording to, um, describe you..." He looked from left to right. "Well... I can tell you that I definitely don't think you're fat. I apologize if you thought that's what I meant. What I meant to imply is that you're more... um, curved." He grinned, blushing. "Yeah... sorry, sometimes I tend to over-explain statements that could be answered in one word. Anyway. I think that you're pleasantly and delicately curved, but fat? Never."

[KittKat chunky~]

(Yeah, he did say it in a roundabout way... but she is kind of self-doubting and misread what he said    and no problem. )




Katka couldn't help but feel the hot prickle across her cheeks and up her neck as she blushed, tail flicking back and forth. Despite herself at small grin tugged a the corners of her mouth as she muttered "Well, uhm... Thanks..." She cocked her head slightly to one side, winding one of the pigtails that hung over her shoulders round her finger a few times distractedly "Glad we cleared that up."


She grinned at how he had stumbled over his choice of wording, noticing an equal flush in his own cheeks. Her thick-furred tail curled around one leg as she said in a sheepish voice "Dont worry, I know what you mean about over-explaining. When I talk to strangers I generally just freeze up, like a rabbit in a cars headlights..." She glanced away from him, going back to rubbing her upper arm gingerly "I just tend to keep myself to myself, in the garage working on the cars people bring in..."

[Cifero Windtail]

The cat glanced sideways, rubbing his own upper arm. "Yeah... I'm not really that much of a social butterfly myself, but sometimes it's necessary. Although even then, I'm barely able to remain calm." He smiled at her. "Kind of a coincidence, huh?"

[KittKat chunky~]

"Social butterfly?" Katka held back a small giggle, grinning up at Nestor. "Sorry, I've lived in England since I was small, after father died, so I consider my English to be pretty good... But sometimes the phrases English speakers use still makes me laugh."


At his last comment she raised her eyebrows and muttered "If you want a coincidence, I would point you to this whole event... A group of people, all traveling through time to meet at roughly the same place and time?" She knelt down and picked up Nestor's pen that she had dropped, holding it out accusingly "This pen shouldn't even exist for more than fifty years-"


Suddenly she stopped and grimaced. A sharp pain had jolted up her ankle at that last movement. Running a shaking hand through her hair she glanced sheepishly up at Nestor, trying not to cry in front of him again at the pain as she muttered "I think I need to sit down... Take the weight off my ankle."

[Cifero Windtail]

Nestor gently leaned down and draped Katka's arm over his shoulder, then stood up so that she could lean on him and keep her weight off of her ankle. He smiled. "Don't worry, I've got you," he said, looking into her eyes. "Let's ask Danny if we could come in her room. I think that that other girl from earlier wanted to meet the rest of us."

[KittKat chunky~]

Katka nodded as she leaned her weight off her ankle, the pain subsiding to a mere twinge as she did so. A slight flush rose up her cheeks as Nestor looked into her eyes, her own blue counterparts glancing away sheepishly as she thought to herself 'I hate feeling so helpless... At least I don't need to be carried again I guess. I don't think I could bare the shame of that again...'

She limped along with Nestor as they walked back towards Danny's room. Her curiosity towards the identity and nature of the stranger, as well as what the plan was to do next, was replaced with a concentrated effort to keep as little of her weight on the sprained ankle as she walked, tail flicking back and forth to try and help counter balance.

[Cifero Windtail]

Nestor smiled at Katka. wow... she's so nice, he said. And she understands me... and... she's a rather pretty girl... He blushed at that last thought, smiling.
Finally at Danny's room, he knocked gently on the door. "Danny?" he called. "Open up, it's us."

[Aldrea945]

Danny and Elizabeth had sat quietly after discussing terms.  They'd been rather comfortable together, much to Danny's surprise.  She hadn't talked much to anyone after she'd woken up, preferring to stay safe, and it'd felt a bit strange talking to the stranger at first.
 
The knock started her out of her thoughts, Nester's voice bringing back her carefulness.  She still didn't know these people.  It'd take time for trust to form.  "Come in."

[Cifero Windtail]

"Okay." Nestor opened the door and walked inside, holding the door for Katka as he supported her.
