Katka pulled away from Nestor, glaring at him with tearful eyes as she muttered in a seething voice "I'm not a religious person, and neither was he..." She stopped, wiping the tears away brusquely and taking in a deep breath. Eyes glancing everywhere but up at Nestor she tugged at the sleeve of her jacket "Sorry... I shouldn't have been so rude." With a sigh she glanced bashfully up at him and said in a small voice "I appreciate the sentiment in what you said, and he will indeed live on in my heart and memories..."

Nestor shook his head. "It's fine," he said. "I understand what you're going through; I've been in a similar place before. But thanks for apologizing anyway." He gently put his arm across her shoulders, trying to comfort her.

[KittKat chunky~]

Katka couldn't help but relax slightly at the close warmth of Nestor, tears no longer leaving their trails down her cheeks. She let a small sigh escape her lips, despite herself, and hugged her arms close around herself. For a moment she stayed like that, remembering when Mr O'reilly had sheltered her under his jacket during a thunderstorm, running and splashing back to the village laughing and shouting.

"We should go make sure the others are awake, like we said we would." She glanced up at Nestor, then slid slowly out from under his arm reluctantly. With a flick of her tail she zipped up her jacket, hands shoved deep into the pockets in a subconscious attempt to retain the warmth.

"odd things.. odd people... like things that others have no idea what they are and how they were made... things like tiny call boxes that look so odd... things that end up scattered throught the town. the people intrest me most...."

(I'm not going to be responding much the next few days.  Kaya can guide my character if need be.)
 
Danny nodded, thinking.  "You wouldn't be able to help me with something would you?  I'd like to find some people."

[Kaya]

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."

Nestor followed Katka closely, removing a pen from his pocket and spinning it in his fingers. "Sounds like the other female is talking to that girl from earlier," he said as they passed Danny's room.

[KittKat chunky~]

For a moment Katka paused, a hand held out to steady herself against the wall, as her ear flicked in the direction of the muffled conversation. With sigh she pushed herself off from the wall and continued, a visible limp in her step. She shrugged, sneaking a glance across at Nestor "Yeah, I guess she is..."


A moment longer passed as they walked down the corridor Katka paused again, leaning against the wall as she grimaced. Her ankle still twinged with pain occasionally , shooting up her leg with every step. As she waited for the pain to stop she glanced across at Nestor again, tail flicking as she muttered "So... Before this whole crazy incident. What time period did you say you came from?"

[Cifero Windtail]

Nestor stopped short, blushing. "Um... not yours," he said, accidentally dropping the pen from his own time.


(He's from 2012. Play on it, it'll be more fun.)

[KittKat chunky~]

"I thought..." Katka looked at him curiously, his blushing prompting a hot flush to creep up her own cheeks. With an agitated flick of her tail she unzipped the jacket, tugging subconsciously at the thin purple collar she wore around her neck. "Well, this is a weird conversation, but where are you from?" She shot another curious glance at him, this time surreptitiously looking him up and down as if she could get some clue from his clothes or looks....

[Cifero Windtail]

"The United states, but not from your time," he said, stooping to pick up the pen. "D... does it really matter?"

(Grab the pen before he can.  )

[KittKat chunky~]

Katka watched as he stopped down, eyeing him over. With a sweeping movement she snatched the pen from the faded carpet and stood back up. She was surprised that she had gotten to the pen before Nestor did, considering her current state, her belt visibly digging in below her stomach as she knelt down. The swift movement had prompted a sharp stab of pain from her ankle, but she ignored it, spinning the pen between her fingers.


It was a habit she had picked up from a friend years ago in school, the sort of thing you could do for hours on end in the dull heat of classroom, spinning the pen from finger to finger down the length of you hand and back.  She grinned a mischievous grin and flicked her tail back and forth as she spun the pen "A Yank then?" Her mind reeled, no time to wonder what she was doing, or why as she glanced him up and down again...

[Cifero Windtail]

Nestor grimanced. "Yeah... but not from your time." He brought out a small calendar. "I'm actually from 2012."

[KittKat chunky~]

The pen span out of control from between Katka's fingers, bouncing off the wall to the floor where it rolled a good few feet along the threadbare carpet. She shot a quick glance to Nestor, regarding him closely as she muttered "It's twenty-twelve back home too... England, granted, but the same year."

[Cifero Windtail]

Nestor looked over at Katka and realized for the first time that her clothes were similar to those from his time period. "Oh, I see now..." He smiled and held out a hand to shake. "Well, at least there's someone from my own time here."
