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.

	"Oh.." His face falls. "I'm sorry." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Eli shrugs disinterestedly. "Whatcha making?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	GK smiles. He's beginning to notice a lot bears repeating with Eli if you want him to remember anything. "Beef curry over rice, and chocolate cupcakes." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	It's the drugs. They screwed up his brain and short term memory. "Oh. Right. You said that, didn't you?" He sits and nurses his water. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Yeah, but no problem. And you're okay with curry, right? It's not the fancy mouth-napalmy kind or anything." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	half_angel_eli 2011-04-15 02:06 am UTC (link)
	"Yes, I'm fine with curry. Are you always this uncertain about everything?" He says this with a gentle tease so to let GK know he's not being critical or anything about it. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	GK grins sheepishly. "Not in everything, but, well, the whole 'haven't gotten a second date since Vinnie McNamara in Junior High' thing kind of clouds stuff. My last date, we didn't even get to sit down at dinner before it was ruined." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	half_angel_eli 2011-04-15 02:17 am UTC (link)
	"Really? I really thought you would have had more dates. You're hot enough. You must have had people falling all over you." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	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)

	veryperceptive 2011-04-15 11:24 pm UTC (link)
	GK blushes. "Yeah." Then he starts serving the food. "Hungry?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	half_angel_eli 2011-04-16 02:03 am UTC (link)
	"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)

	half_angel_eli 2011-04-16 04:17 am UTC (link)
	"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)

	half_angel_eli 2011-04-16 04:42 am UTC (link)
	"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)

	"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)

	"Yeah, that's hard." GK reaches for his hand. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
