Settling in?
They'd started moving into the renovated abandoned restaurant/nightclub covered scrap metal. Corey'd even arranged a recycling dumpster next to the regular one. Once the kitchen was finally covered in his explanatory signs -- one explanation of food storage and recycling having the very direct heading 'You Will Not Waste' -- he took an awful lot of sorted bags of packaging out to said recycling dumpster.

"She makes her own schedule at the start of the week. She wants to work twenty hours, she works twenty hours. She wants to work forty, she works forty. She gets paid for whatever hours she works, seventeen bucks an hour - docked fifteen percent to pay for her tools and parts for your bike til she's paid up. If the two of you decide she's up for two years of school, she could get certified and make double that, easy."

"Not much," Irina admitted. "I have other skills and abilities that are useful to the team and aren't really practical for domestic stuff."

One good thing about having the two kids around was that she now had a chance to practice her French.

Irina grabbed a plate and then grabbed a chair at the table. "One of these days I will have to make borscht for everyone. Maybe one day for breakfast I will make blini."

"B-but... Ennie..." She bit her tongue. If he did not wnat to stay with these people yet... then it was a battle she could not win. But she wanted to stay here. He would not have to drive her everyday if they lived here... or worry about picking her up. She also had no "sweet on" feelings for Nick. Alisa was just thrilled that someone other than Ennie thought her abilities and talents were worth so much. That there was faith in her.

Feeling a bit defeated, she took her seat at the table, resting her hands in her lap and looking down at her plate.

Enteinne moved around the table and sat in one of the seats next to Alisa. He smiled, completely misunderstanding her minor protest, "'sokay ma Belle. Drivin' ya down here be no skin off my back, non? Maybe we even work on gettin' ya a license so ya drive ya-self. Be another first for de family!"

Hands tucking into his lap and legs kicking under the table, he went back to speaking with Irina while he waited for the food to be served. They were guests, guests didn't serve themselves, right? Maybe they did. Irina had already grabbed a plate, but Alisa hadn't... He'd follow Alisa's example on this one.

"[Team? What kind of team? Swimming? Football? Soccer? Dance? You in school still or something... Look a bit old for school... less you're in one of those higher schooling places. University, they called.]"

Nicholas serves himself a generous helping of whatever's made. Food is food. He eats standing up though, leaning against a counter - habit from childhood. It was always easier that way to quickly dismiss himself or take off if things got unpleasant when foster families or 'kids' homes' got together. Only time he sat down to eat was when he was in minimal company that he felt comfortable with - so far, that's Irina - or in front of the TV.

"That's not a bad idea, Tink. If you are eventually going to learn enough to get certified, which would make you a ton more money, you ought to learn to ride a bike. It'd be on your own time, but if you'll put the time in voluntarily, and work on getting your license, we can get you parts and a frame and build you your own bike, custom."

	Corey will quite cheerfully hand first Alisa, then her brother each a plate laden with chicken and sweet potatoes, his expression generally 'eat eat eat!' (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Alisa looked down at the plate Corey gave her and began to eat some of the potatoes at first. She was not a fan of sweet potatoes, but they were healthy for her. Her fork then grazed over the chicken, taking a piece of it and placing it in her mouth. After chewing and swallowing her food, she responded to Nick.

"Ah... ah would like ta stay here, for now... since... since ah would be on site... for emergency repairs an' such... as for... for learnin' ta ride... ah... ah guess ah can do dat on... on mah free time..."

Enteinne pushed the food around his plate, going for the sweet potatoes first and eating about half of it before he set his fork down. When Alisa spoke, his expression hardened and he replied, "We talk later, peanut, once we home, oui?"

Then he lifted his fork again and pushed the chicken around a bit before taking a small bite. His stomach was still rumbling so he took another before setting the fork down again and tucking his hands into his lap. About 3/4 of the food remained as he smiled at Corey, "Very tasty. Thank you."

	"The Champions," Irina answered in English. "We're setting up our headquarters here. Hopefully be able to do some good in the city." Irina grabbed some sweet potatoes and chicken for herself when the dishes came her way. She put some of each on her plate and then passed the dishes on. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Argo, unlike the others, had as of yet very little to do to occupy his days. His nights on the other hand, were a different story. Nevertheless, it meant that he usually ended up sleeping away the better portion of a morning until around lunch time.

Shirtless, his hair still disheveled from sleep, he entered the kitchen where the others were. "Oh!" he said. "I didst not know we had company."

"Oh, hey Argo. Yeah, this is Enteinne LeBeau and his sister, Alisa." he made the latter introduction with a subtle 'lay off' gesture, trying very hard to make sure Argo was the only one who saw it. Not that he's overly worried about the Olympian causing her too much trouble, but he wants to avert any issues, and figures among the half-blood's bar hopping, he can figure out 'wingman' code. Alisa is damaged goods, she doesn't need too much trouble just yet.

"Alisa is going to be helping me in the shop."

	"Hey, Argo." Corey springs back up and fills a plate for him. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Alisa's eyes were as wide as saucers as she looked up at Argo. She literally dropped her fork and just stared at the Olympian. Her heart just seemed to stop in her chest for a moment. He did not look real... like something out of the few books she managed to scavage through in a Library's book bin on free book day. She continued to seem motionless, just... staring.

Enteinne eyed Argo, less worried about the awe cascading off his sister as he was whatever reaction the large man might have toward his twin. He turned his eyes to Corey and offered a smile, "Thank ya again for de meal, mon ami. Could we wrap de rest up in foil, p'haps? Ma seour an I got some... uh.. chores ta do at home. We should get goin' an' not take up anymore o' your time."

	Nick raises a brow. "Corey has enough for seconds. Why don't you finish what's on your plate, and we'll wrap you up enough to go. You both could use a couple squares. I'd offer you a beer or two, but yer driving." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Irina nodded. "Yes, take some with you," she said. "We have plenty here." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sandcastlegod 2010-01-22 05:04 am UTC (link)
	Corey nods a little and goes over to one of the cabinets. "You're welcome. I don't like to use too much foil. Don't want to end up giving business to the mines." There's only so much 100% recycled foil to come by easily. So he gets out a tupperware container. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"B-but... but ah don' wanna... go..." She frowns at Ennie, giving him a bit of a pout, as she takes another piece of chicken from her plate and eats it. "ah... ah like dese people.... ah wanna stay longer..." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"We have t'ings ta take care of at home," he replied stubbornly. "We got ta... um.. do de laundry. An' wash de dishes. An'... um... Clean de garage! I left it a mess tearin' out o' dere ta come lookin' for ya." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He eyes the pair, but doesn't interrupt. Not the time or place to push them too hard. And he has food. Sure, he's not as desperately thin as they are, but he remembers plenty of times he didn't. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"A pleasure to meet thee both," Argo said as he sat down to eat. Heeding Nicholas's warning, as well as his own sense for such things, he did not pepper his greeting to the lady with compliments. He does, however, notice her watching him, and flashes her one of his famous smiles. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Corey, with the tupperware set next to Tink's brother's plate so that they can pack up their leftovers when the leaving issue is decided, finally serves himself a plate, trying not to pay too much attention to whether Argo has enough. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"H-hi.... Argo...." She was amazed at him. Even giving him a shy little wave as he flashed her such a handsome smile. She felt like she could melt into puddy suddenly. Alisa then moved her attention back to her plate, taking another bite of chicken, and narrowing her eyes at Ennie. "N-non we... we don' ... ah wanna stay..." (Reply to this)(Parent)
