First Time Flier
Keiji was..very uncomfortable. There was nothing wrong with the seating, it was actually quite comfortable. Misha's stepfather had only the best. No, the problem was..they..were..in..the..SKY! Keiji had never liked heights. Yes the ride was smooth, yes his seat was secure, but..THEY WERE IN THE SKY! Shinsuke..somehow the older man had fallen asleep! How the hell could anyone sleep in the damn sky!? Keiji breathed in and out in an attempt to calm himself, though his hands still clutched the armrests tightly.

"If I believed in that touchy feel-y stuff I'd say sure, but I don't. I think you can find yourself anywhere you are. Just gotta hope that you can stand what you find." He shrugged. He knew without looking that Amiko was smirking at him, but Keiji asked him a question and he'd get a fair answer.

"This environment makes people like the Hand stick out. If you're not part of it, you're completely exposed. That's what you want. You don't need unexpected visitors while you heal and decide what your next move will be."

	"I see," Keiji says while looking at the snow outside. "The Hand's standard red would be easy to spot out here." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Maybe, but I wouldn't underestimate the ability of my former fellows to adapt to new environs." Keiji looks back outside. "Though I can understand the feeling of being 'out of place' here." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"This is the best we can do without leaving the dimension, though we could do that if you're willing." Keiji's glass-half-empty attitude was beginning to wear on Misha glass-half-full outlook on life. "I know of at least one person who could send you somewhere." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Keiji's quiet for awhile, as if gauging the seriousness of the offer. Finally he spoke. "That will not be necessary." Keiji decides not to press his luck as returns to looking outside. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Who sends people out of dimensions these days?" Amiko asked conversationally. Keiji would come around, or he'd need a verbal bitchslapping. Again. One of those. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Sounds weird, but they come, they go, and there are a few who can open those darn portals. The Champions have one." He didn't elaborate, though it was clear in his voice that he neither liked nor trusted the person.

	"Lyta's fine. She loves it in New Orleans. Keeping busy." He turned off the main road and drove through a tunnel of snow covered trees. "The cabin is about five miles down this road. You'll appreciate the tea selection. Dad drinks it when he's not inhaling German beer." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Thank you," Keiji said, but then raised an eyebrow in confusion. "I was under the impression that your father's healing factor prevented inebriation?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	mishaloganovich 2011-07-27 02:35 pm UTC (link)
	"It does, but it doesn't stop him from enjoying the taste." Misha pulled the vehicle in behind a small cabin. He had lots of good memories of the place. Hunting and fishing with Dad had been a great treat growing up. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I'm glad to hear it." And having arrived, Amiko will do whatever helps to get Keiji and Shinsuke settled, but she'll have a little tea for herself, thank you very much. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"This home is beautiful and has a certain serenity to it," Shinsuke said as much to himself as aloud. Keiji translated: "Shinsuke approves. It is..nice. No noises of the city to distract. A perfect environment for contemplation, and healing," he added hastily, seeing a growing look of sternness coming from Amiko. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Misha opened the back door to a small mud room. It wasn't locked. Dad operated on the principle that you left your cabin unlocked and stocked in case somebody in need came through and needed shelter and food. Misha suspected it was a holdover from missing memories.

The mudroom opened into a small kitchen area with the basic necessities in a small corner of a larger room with a fireplace and old furniture. Three doors led off the room. One was the front door, the others a bathroom and a bedroom. A simple ladder in the corner led up to a sleeping area in the attic. Dad added it when Misha was old enough to come here with him.

"Go ahead and look around. I'll get the power on. There's enough firewood and kindling on the front porch if you'd like a fire to take the chill off. Matches are on the mantel." With that, he stepped back outside and closed the door behind him.

"Yes, I believe so," Keiji answered. He swallowed a bit. "Amiko-san, I..I truly appreciate..."

Shinsuke noticed the awkward behavior, and decided to make himself scarce. "Your efforts on our behalf are truly beyond repayment. We are in your debt," he said bowing deeply. "I beg your pardon, but I think I'm going to explore the kitchen." The older man walked from the pair.

Keiji found himself annoyed that the older man had left. Now they were alone. "I...," He coughs. Speak you fool!

	"We can take all the 'beyond evaluation' stuff as established," Amiko says simply, stepping a little closer. "You're going to work out a better situation for yourself." She sets her hands up on his shoulders. "We really think you can." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Her presence and certain words calmed his nerves. "Thank you. I can't express how much your faith means to me. I will not let you down," he vowed.He was quiet for a moment. He couldn't very well say he'd miss her. For pity's sake they were enemies not so long ago and now? He wasn't certain what he was feeling. "Could you..give your friend Slyvie my deepest apologies? I will likely never get a chance to myself."

	"Of course. You'll probably hear from her eventually. She's very keen on writing to people, from what I've heard, and very forgiving. Now." A quick kiss on the cheek, which she tells herself is perfectly playful pseudoAmerican thing to do, and not going to break the poor just-left-scum boy at all. Right. "Let's get some tea."

	For a moment he's simply shocked. He's certain his face is red. Thankfully he recovers quickly. "Yes, tea sounds nice," he says a little faster than necessary. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Better, physically at any rate," Keiji admits. "Even after I fully heal, even if I track down Akira and learn the truth, what then? I've considered pursuing this Weapon X group, but I'm not certain if I'd just be exchanging one enemy for another." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	hotlittlehands 2011-08-04 12:10 am UTC (link)
	Amiko clutches his arms. "You stay the hell away from Weapon X if you can't help it. You don't heal." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
