Getting back to normal.. whatever normal is.
After his time alone with Josh, Avalon has been feeling much more centered. It is a shame that Henry is so absent, but Avalon knows why and he doesn't hold it against his partner.. after all Henry put a lot on the table and now he was giving the three of Josh, Katima and Avalon enough time to process everything.

Life still had to go on though, and a couple days after the Talk, Avalon is up early doing his morning sun ritual stuff. Only this morning, it's extra wonderful for him. He appreciates Earth's sun all the more now, especially since he almost lost it.

After finishing his ritual, Avalon is in the kitchen, puttering around when Hal Jordan finds him. Mr. Jordan didn't have a lot to say, but he passed off to Avalon the paperwork that the JLA had gotten together for the three teens. They were going to be going to school on Monday.

The news is very daunting to Avalon, and he goes to find Josh, a nervous wreck. He makes his way back upstairs, and then slips into the room that he has taken to sharing with the other boy. "Hey.. Josh.." he says softly before he slides onto the bed and curls up next to Josh on top of the covers. Avalon is actually so worried that he's shivering!

Avalon nodded his head, his eyes looking into Katima's as he murmured "Yea. School is.. a place of learning. By most human standards you and me and Josh are all far behind other kids our age."

He smiles a bit shyly, his tone sheepish as he says "I am afraid.. I barely know how to read Nalorian, let alone English.. I've not been in school in ten years. I was going to ask you if you would be willing to help me with my home work if I also helped you.. Maybe the two of us can do it more easily together than apart."

For perhaps the first time ever Katima seemed less than strong, graceful, and assured. She suddenly seemed every bit the awkward teenager most her age would be, biting at her lip and looking frightened.

"Avalon, I've never been to school in my entire life. The Tribe taught me to read and write but...all I know is the Tribe. I will help...but I'm afraid I am going to be very stupid by earth standards."

"You are not stupid, Katima.." murmured Avalon, as long fingers stroked down her cheek. "You are very wise and very smart. You and I are much alike in that way - I have lead armies of thousands of souls, yet I can barely speak a few words of English. We must simply learn." he then smiled sweetly, "We shall learn together."

"Okay. I trust you." She murmurs softly, pressing her forehead to his. "I am still frightened, though. I don't want to embarrass Henry or burden you or Josh. I...have heard high school is particularly cruel on girls. I will have to buy pants."

"We will be there for you, you will not be alone." swore the boy in a quick breath, his expression earnest. "If you are ever worried or troubled, you may come to me. Or Henry or Josh.. They are both very kind and will listen. Josh especially has a kind heart, I know that you do not know him as well as me or Henry, but.. You are very much kindred spirits."

Avalon shifted then, moving himself so that Katmina was more pulled to his side, and he was on his back with his wings wrapped around them. "We must hold onto Hope, Katima. We were all drawn here; in the relative terms of the universe, High School isn't nearly as bad as Space Worms."

"Ugh. Space Worms are the worst. Does Henry know about Space Worms? He should. We should warn him about them. Because they are scary as anything."

Katima presses a kiss to Avalon's jaw.

"We have to stick together. Especially for Josh. We have rings."

"We must be vigilant." He agreed, his fingers starting to thread through her hair. "We must be a united force for Henry as well. He has withdrawn from us because he feels the need to hide.. once he's been given enough time to become settled, I plan to bring him back to us."

"Henry does not know how much he needs us, sometimes. He is fearless and wears his heart on his sleeve.. but we must remeber, and be there to catch him fall if he falters."

"I hope that once he is settled we can all be as one. We need each other, though Josh and I need different things with each other."

She turned her face up to look into Avalon's eyes.

"This is good, all of us together." Softly, she pressed her lips to his.

Avalon made a low and happy little sound as Katima kissed him, quite happy to return the kiss in kind. He was warm and welcoming, a deep well of positivity and (for lack of a better word) hope. He was also the sort whom got easily distracted when kissing someone pretty; and Katima quite filled that bill.

It's a few minutes before he comes to enough to realize that they probably shouldn't do this with Josh just on the other side of a wall. Rather regretfully, Avalon ended the kiss, though long fingers trailed over Katima's face in soft caresses.

"I want us all to be as one, as well." he murmured. "I think that between the two of us, we can lead the others.." he smiled gently.

"We could, but it is my experience to allow matters of the heart to progress naturally. True affection grows in places most surprising but when it does it blooms most beautifully."

Her voice was soft and for a moment her eyes seemed far away, recalling something. Her emotional aura didn't change, though.

"You and Josh should continue to explore your relationship with each other."

"I didn't communicate what I meant well, but that's okay." replied Avalon with a smile. He then flushed a bit, his eyes sliding away from Katima as he said "I fully plan to continue on with Josh.. he's really wonderful and.. I enjoy us. It's Henry that I worry about; at least as far as I go. It's a situation I find myself having to take my hands off the wheel, so to speak, and letting the Universe take control because I certainly don't know what may or should happen."

"He gave a nervous little laugh, "Up until our big talk, he and I have never talked about such a thing. I mean.. We've never even kissed or cuddled or anything."

"I think that very soon you two will do quite a bit even beyond the kissing and cuddling. And I think it will be very special when you do. I won't even have to ask. I'll be able to feel your joy."

Avalon just shrugged his shoulders a bit, his expression rather accepting as he said "Yea, but.. He may not feel that way. So, I will not force the situation. Henry has a lot to worry about, and I don't think that it would do our duty as Lanterns well to bring too much pressure for him."

He brightened, "Although, if things do work out well, then I will be very pleased. As it is now, I am just happy that I am able to know you and Josh and Henry, much less be as close as we are."

"We have a good situation here. It is nice to have a place to belong, even if we are going to have to go to school and deal with that disaster. Do you suppose we should ask Mr. Jordan if we could borrow some money to get school things? I am certain we will need things."

Smiling to Katima, Avalon trails his fingers over her face again, his expression gentle. "I think that he got everything already, we just have to go. But never fear - I will be there for you, I promise."

He settled into the bed, his wings wrapping more around the girl a bit tighter and pressed himself in towards her. "All will be well, we must remember that. Thank you for reminding me."

"I still worry about pants. It seems like such a simple thing,but I am self-conscious about it." She sighed and nestled in his arms. "But I will be brave. It just seems surreal, everything I have lived to be doing something as simple as school."

Laughing some, Avalon just gave the girl a kiss on the cheek, his tone warm as he said "Katima.. if you worry so much about pants, then simply wear them. That or a skirt - there are a lot of girls that I've seen wear skirts."

He laughed then, his expression flushing some as he said "I have to wear things made for my body around the house, so I guess it's easier for me to simply accept the human fashion. It's not that bad though - pants are pretty comfortable once you get used to them."

"I just want to fit in a bit. That seems to very important here on Earth. It's not something I've ever encountered before." She sighs. "You're warm and snuggly. I think I should like to keep you."

"Yea.. I dont' understand the need to fit in myself, but I can see how it's upsetting.." whispered Avalon. With another shift, he settled so that they were nose to nose, his expression smiling sweetly at her.

"I enjoy holding and being held. It's how I establish a stronger bond and become more attuned to my lover.." he then said simply, little shame in his words.
