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.

	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)

	"I'm sorry," GK says softly. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"That it's apparently not a good idea to see your parents, sort things out like that." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"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)

	half_angel_eli 2011-04-21 04:05 am UTC (link)
	"Cupcakes!" Happy Eli is happy. "So, what do you do besides picking up random wingged guys and get mistaken for being a girl?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I'm a makeup artist." His own makeup is fresh enough to cover the scar on his cheek flawlessly. "I work part-time at the theater. I exercise. Fence, mostly" He smiles. "I dust my dollhouse." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Have you ever seen the Princess Bride?" It may be possible to know that Eli is a semi-closeted geek. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Seen it. Read it. Studied the fencing masters referenced in the duel on the cliff. Seen the duel on the cliff re-scored with lightsabers. I'm pretty familiar with the material." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	half_angel_eli 2011-04-22 03:13 am UTC (link)
	"They did a version with lightsabers?! Really? Honestly?" :O :D (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	veryperceptive 2011-04-22 03:16 am UTC (link)
	"Really. Honestly." GK gets up, slips his laptop from under the bed, turns it on, and loads up YouTube. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	half_angel_eli 2011-04-22 01:38 pm UTC (link)
	Eli hovers in the hanging over GK's shoulder sense as opposed to the up in the air sense. "Ooh... I haven't seen one of those laptops in ages!" He gets distracted by the lightsaber battle though. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	veryperceptive 2011-04-22 01:40 pm UTC (link)
	GK starts to blink, because it's fairly new, but then remembers the whole time travel thing. "So yeah. It's pretty awesome." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
