GK was nervous. They had of brushed against the subject before, but now...well, he didn't want to wait anymore. "So, Eli.... are you okay with getting lunch with Zoe?"

	"That's six blocks over," Zoe responded in all seriousness. "And the house provides the poles." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	GK giggles in a way that would give no help to any outsiders trying to guess his gender. "You can tough it out for a while, right?" He asks Eli, canting his head a little. He gestures to the waitress and orders more tea. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Yes, I suppose I can." He fluffs his feathers and bops GK gently on the shoulder with a wing. "Maybe later we can go see the place Zoe suggested." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"He'd tell the girls they're wearing the wrong colors and far too much body glitter." She took a sip of her iced tea, not missing the gentle bop. The wings were kind of fascinating, there was no denying it. GK was practically oozing MINE vibes. "Did GK rework your wardrobe, too?" she asked Eli. "My mom thinks he worked miracles in mine."

	He rolls his eyes at Eli. "They probably pass around the Tacky Flamingo lipstick, too." GK shudders, then, "Eli didn't have a lot of unflattering things to get rid of, so it was a matter of getting him some shirts." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	half_angel_eli 2011-07-27 04:27 am UTC (link)
	"I have no idea what tacky flamingo lipstick is and that's not why I would go to such a place." Eli admits this with a bright smile. "I don't think I had any unflattering things. He should get a job doing makeovers professionally." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	zoe_torres 2011-07-27 04:32 am UTC (link)
	"He probably should. Making the world easy to look at one, one makeover at a time." Zoe smiled. "I looked for the lipstick to see if it was really so bad. Still can't find it. I think he destroyed every tube in twelve blocks." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"My family has a tradition of public service," GK says placidly in the face of Zoe's theory. "And yeah, I've got a few guesses what you'd do there, Eli. But I'm totally the jealous type, and cannot guarantee that I wouldn't cheat in the event of a catfight." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	half_angel_eli 2011-07-28 01:53 am UTC (link)
	An evil grin forms on his face. "Oh really?" he asks, drawing out the word 'really'. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	veryperceptive 2011-07-28 02:04 am UTC (link)
	"The point being we don't need to be anywhere that's a public hormones-fest," GK clarifies, trying to look put-upon, but... gosh, that smile.... (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"That would be six blocks in the other direction. Three knocks on the door, and the password is Ben Franklin." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	veryperceptive 2011-07-28 06:49 am UTC (link)
	"That is not helpful. Oh goodness, I'd probably blind myself. Nothing but 'SEX!' in huge gold letters in any direction." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I am getting all sorts of terrible ideas." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	zoe_torres 2011-07-29 06:00 am UTC (link)
	"Put 'em on hold until after lunch," Zoe said, unsuccessfully hiding a smile. At least this guy had a sense of humor. Weird one, but it was there. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	GK holds his menu in the best attempt at a minor pseudo-hemph he can manage. "Yes. Let's. I'm getting the chicken. What about you two?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	half_angel_eli 2011-07-30 12:50 am UTC (link)
	One tends to need a sense of humor of some sort, generally black and morbid to survive where he's survived. Eli glances at the menu. "Fish sandwich, with potato salad." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	zoe_torres 2011-07-30 06:49 pm UTC (link)
	"Burger and fries." Zoe went for the basics in diner food. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	veryperceptive 2011-07-30 11:40 pm UTC (link)
	And once the waitress takes those orders, it doesn't take long at all. "How's your mom doing, Zoe?" GK asked politely. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"She's wondering when her closet makeover is going to happen. All of a sudden I hear that she doesn't have a thing to wear when she's going out with Jed, and she doesn't even see him all that often." Zoe might've sounded a little exasperated, but Mom happy was what she wanted. Happy and not so focused on what her only daughter might or might not be doing with her free time. "AND she's applied for a passport."

	"Why does she need a passport?" Eli asks. He knows zip about Zoe and her family problems. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

" 'Cause my Uncle Jed wants to take her to Canada. And Europe. And New Zealand. And pretty much everywhere." GK smiled. "That's great. And I'll totally see about that clothes part."

GK leans his face against his hand, which is already wet from the condensation of his glass. He notices the makeup he puts over his scar coming off and frowns.
"I've gotta take a powder," he says. "Literally. Excuse me." And off he goes for a minute.

	"His uncle Jed and my mom hit it off and are kind of seeing each other," Zoe explained to Eli as GK left the table. "As long as Jed is nice to her, I'm okay with it." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	half_angel_eli 2011-08-05 10:05 pm UTC (link)
	Eli does the obligatory eyebrow waggle and grins. "That's cool. A bit weird, but cool I guess. It'd probably be weirder if it was one of GK's parents." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	zoe_torres 2011-08-06 12:27 am UTC (link)
	"I guess. I'd hate to shoot Jed now since Mom likes him. I haven't met GK's mom yet, but he says good things about her." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
