With eyes completely open, but nervous all the same (Eli)
A decent, mild beef curry is sizzling on the stove while something chocolate bakes in the oven in GK's tiny basement kitchenette. Turning everything off for a bit, he looks over his clothes to make sure it's all nice and clean, and goes up the stairs to outside, looking for Eli to arrive, or call for better directions.

	GK blushes. "Thanks. But no, the ones who are into me always either aren't my type or.... turn out to have been confused about my gender." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Eli flicks a glance up and down GK again. "Oh, yeah, I guess I could see that." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	GK blushes. "Yeah." Then he starts serving the food. "Hungry?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Starved," he says with a flick of his wings. "Maybe you should cut your hair a little bit." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	GK soon hands Eli a plate of curry and rice and sits down with another one for himself. "Eh, I tried that once, just ended up looking like -- you know Foxglove? The folk rock singer? 'Whole Wide World,' 'George's Tongue,' all that?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Nope! Never heard of them. Before my time." He says that rather cheerfully before taking a bite. There's a bit of chewing and he grins. "Is good." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	veryperceptive 2011-04-16 04:26 am UTC (link)
	"Well, it's great music, really good, but suffice it to say, not a helpful look for me." Then GK smiles. "Great!" And starts eating as well. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"If you've tried, I guess you'd know." Eli shovels in a few more bites. "I feel so out of place half the time. I mean, technically, I'm eleven now. Or should be." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"That's gotta be weird. Is there a little you running around somewhere?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	half_angel_eli 2011-04-16 04:51 am UTC (link)
	He blinks. "I... have no idea." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"You mean, you haven't looked up your parents since coming? Asked around with their friends, whatever?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	half_angel_eli 2011-04-16 04:57 am UTC (link)
	He ducks his head and pokes at his plate. "No. Time travel's messy enough and I don't want them to know I'm here." And see what a big failure he is. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	veryperceptive 2011-04-16 05:01 am UTC (link)
	"I'm sorry," GK says softly. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	half_angel_eli 2011-04-16 11:05 pm UTC (link)
	"Why?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	veryperceptive 2011-04-17 12:28 am UTC (link)
	"That it's apparently not a good idea to see your parents, sort things out like that." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	half_angel_eli 2011-04-17 04:04 am UTC (link)
	"I don't even know if I exist here." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	veryperceptive 2011-04-17 04:06 am UTC (link)
	"Yeah, that's hard." GK reaches for his hand. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	half_angel_eli 2011-04-18 02:23 am UTC (link)
	"I suppose I should find out... if only to prevent confusion's sake." When GK's hand touches his, he looks surprised as if the concept never really occurred to him before. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	veryperceptive 2011-04-18 02:25 am UTC (link)
	"Yeah, I mean, if nothing else, your family's situation could affect your long-term plans in a few years." He notes Eli's surprise. "...am I crossing a line here?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	half_angel_eli 2011-04-19 11:58 pm UTC (link)
	"I don't think I've even thought that far in advance." Eli? forethought? What is this strange thing that GK is speaking of. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	veryperceptive 2011-04-20 12:51 am UTC (link)
	GK wants to ask what this Rayner guy expected him to do when the time came, but... he doesn't want the guy to start 'talking' to Eli again. "Oh. Well. It could be good to get it sorted. I don't know." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	half_angel_eli 2011-04-21 03:43 am UTC (link)
	"Yeah, probably." He pokes his food absently. "I'm just not sure how to bring it up, especially with all the insanity happening one right after another." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	veryperceptive 2011-04-21 03:48 am UTC (link)
	"I can see how that would be. Maybe give a little time to calm down a little." And GK will concentrate on finishing his food for a while, in the hope that Eli will eat up, too. Then he's pouring the milk for the cupcakes. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	half_angel_eli 2011-04-21 03:52 am UTC (link)
	Despite the absent poking, the food is disappearing. Eli tends to be a garbage disposal at the worst of times. "Knowing superheroic life as I do, I doubt it ever will." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	veryperceptive 2011-04-21 03:59 am UTC (link)
	"I'm sure over time, you'll come up with a plan. In the meantime, I have cupcakes for you." And these will be served. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
