A night out
Halbjorn is definitely all for celebrating having his own body back. Getting Sersi's number was a good start. The night out with Vernique and Svalin was nice as well. But as long as he's on this coast he has one more stop to make. The Avengers may not want him too close to the mansion, but Xavier's put him under no such restriction.
He announces himself at the gates and waits, indicating he's there to see Chris Pym.

A short while later, they're off for lunch. Chris grabbed herself a sleeveless blouse, put some clips in her hair, and threw on a tartan skirt (to leave room for the tail hidden by the image inducer). She'd fitted Halbjorn with with a pair of pants with more zippers than necessary, that could turn into shorts if needed, and a sleeveless tee with an erratic swathe of color across it.

Chris orders herself a large vanilla milkshake as they sit down. "Anything you want to get started on, or shall we go right for the wings?"

	Chris smirks. "Not in the amounts we're getting. I was thinking some garlic bread to start, lighter than the meat and deep fried stuff." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Chris makes the order for the garlic to start, then the extra-large platter of buffalo wings, a mini-batch of each of the intensities, along with plenty of onion rings. "So how long are you on this side of the States for?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"A day, mayhap two. Apparently something hast happened to mine sister, Aslief, and they wish me to return when I am able, and tis best if Svalin hast more time to get used to being an Avenger." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I might try to make it out there semi-soon myself. Mom called and vid-confrenced to make sure I'm okay, but I should really go see her. I'm just not sure if I'm ready to have her see me like.. y'know." Chris props her head up thoughtfully. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Chris thinks it over, then shakes her head, just as the garlic bread arrives anyway. "I appreciate the thought, really, but I think working through this is going to have to be something that falls on me, at least for now." She smiles. "Thanks anyway." She grabs herself a piece of garlic bread to munch on. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	She smiles and nods. "Thanks for the support. It's just still kind of daunting, not knowing what I might be when I try to turn human again." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Halbjorn eyes her curiously. "Thou art human." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	pym_kitten 2010-04-06 05:01 pm UTC (link)
	Chris pauses at that, swallowing her mouthful and a lump in her throat. "Yeah... I know. It's stupid and shallow and immature to be scared about, but.. it's still there. The idea of looking into the mirror and maybe not seeing the same face as all these years." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He can't easily kiss her here, so he just smiles and puts his hand on hers. "Thou'rt lovely. Be not afraid of thine own face. They art all you. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

If not for the image inducer, Halbjorn would probably see her blush even through her fur. She squeezes his hand in response.

"Thanks..."

She runs a hand over her face and chomps away at some more garlic bread, grinning as the wings approach. "Alright, food's here."

As the multi-flavored platter is set down, she gestures to it overdramatically. "My exotic foreign casual lover, behold the bounty that America offers.

	He nods, a little confused about why a lot of this is evenan issue, but happy to help. Then the food steals his attention. "Tis quite the display." he muses, digging in right away. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	pym_kitten 2010-04-06 05:34 pm UTC (link)
	Chris starts off with the sweet and sour to get her going, smirking as Hal ends up reaching for the Godzilla Breath batch to start. "Not sure if you'd need to worry, but don't let any of the sauce get in your eyes." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	stone_bear 2010-04-06 05:42 pm UTC (link)
	He pauses a few moments to consider the 'godzilla' wings. Sure, most food in Asgard isn't terribly spicy. However, it has three things going for it - its a challenge, its food, and its meat. He duly decides he likes it, going for another. "I wilt keep this in mind." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Chris smiles as he seems undaunted, working her way up the heat ladder with liberal amounts of bleu cheese (buffalo wings being the best medium of transport for the stuff).

It's not too long before she's got a mild sweat going due to the spicier end of things, and they've exhausted a good chunk of the paper towel roll left at the table. There's a steadily increasing pile of bones in the extra bowl as well.

	He doesn't entirely ignore the onion rings, but there's no question he favors the meat. The only wings he doesn't seem to like are those on the sweeter end of the spectrum. He tries them, then leaves them to Chris in favor of the spicier ones. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	pym_kitten 2010-04-06 05:57 pm UTC (link)
	The rest of the wings and rings, a milkshake, and a medium order of curly fries later, Chris sits back in her seat, dabbing her mouth quite thoroughly (still able to feel sauce in her fur despite the image inducer showing her clean). "So, how does the latest batch of Midgard food strike ya'?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	stone_bear 2010-04-06 06:00 pm UTC (link)
	While she went through the milkshake and fries, he's had another full meal of mostly meat, tried the milkshakes and found he dislikes them strongly, along with already knowing he disliked soda, and pretty much anything else sweeter than mead. "Much of it ist quite pleasing. The buffalo wings wert quite good." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Chris takes note of his preferences for the future, but is a little too full and content to stress over it much.

"Glad it was a success then." After paying the bill they're on their way back to the Institute at a leisurely pace.

Once they reach the front gates, she seems to have worked her way up to something in her mind. "Okay... here goes nothing." She turns to Halbjorn, turning off the image inducer and holding both his hands. She shuts her eyes, and tries to change back.

Oh... oh god it hurts. There's a grinding and tearing feeling, but no blood spilled, as the bone spurs retract. It takes almost a full minute, but she seems human. However, when she opens her eyes, they're still feline, and her canines, while not fangs, protrude just a little more than perhaps they should.

Not able to see the residual changes herself, she looks herself over, then up at Halbjorn. "Well?"
