Leaving On A JetPlane (Is just arriving somewhere else on one)
Chris smiled to herself as she watched the tarmac approach, feeling the familiar grinding and bumping of wheels as they met the ground, her flight finally setting down at LAX. Mom living on the other side of the country may make it a bit of a jaunt to visit, but she loves coast-hopping. Mom and Dad's separation wasn't easy for her to deal with, but she'd never held it against either of them. She'd made it blatantly clear, even with how young she was, that she wasn't going to be bounced back and forth in whatever custody agreement. It was why she'd wound up with the X-Men; Avengers-Hank had talked to X-Hank, who talked to the Professor. So, Xavier's; best place in the world for a kid to grow up learning how to master their freakish ways.

No need for baggage claim, since everything she needed was at Mom's, and there would be shopping. Chris was still struggling with resisting the urge to bolt down the hallway on all fours when she spotted the familiar face.

"Mom!" She waved, but didn't bother sprinting the rest of the way down the hallway to the welcome area. Last time she did that she accidentally clocked someone with her carry-on.

	She grins from ear to ear, gulping down the last of her steak. "Make stuff for freaks like us. Super-durable clothing, able to deal with various physical variations, like shapeshifting, lighting on fire, etc. I want to design clothing that can do all that, and still look good."

	"Ahhh, I see. Asgardians hath advantage of beasts of tough hide, and armor tis more oft worn normally. I canst see the benefits for groups like the Avengers and X-Men. E'en so, I still find most clothing too restrictive and uncomfortable to wear beyond occasions such as this. My cloak, boots and loincloth serve well enow." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Chris smiles. "Well, if it's just your strength that's a problem, none of the weirder stuff, I might be able to help. I'll take your measurements before I go, and see if I can send you something now and then."

She strokes the rim of her soda glass. "Just so you know, even if this is a fling, I'm always glad to make new friends. So don't freak if you hear from me after this weekend." She grins happily. "Can always use another partner in hell-raising."

He shrugs. "Nay, Asgardian garb ist well accustomed to greater strength. But the cold bothers me not, and tis the emblem and pride of the bear-jherk to enter battle with no armor save the bear's hide and mayhap a shield. It hast grown comfortable, and most else ist quite restrictive."

He raises a brow at that last. "Why wouldst I react badly to hearing from a fling? I wouldst hope thou returnest from time to time. And... methinks thou hast different meaning of hell-raising than I, though battling demons hast its charm."

Chris nods thoughtfully. "I understand. You turn quite a few heads though, and that's not always the best thing." She sized him up. "Like, what you're wearing now, you seem like you're suffocating. Just humor me if I send you a garment or two and at least try it on to let me know how it fits, and how well it holds up." She smirked. "There may be some other evening you wish to take a charming young X-Woman out on the town, and dress accordingly."

She chuckles before clarifying the point. "'Hell-raising', as the phrase goes, is..." She propped up her chin, smiling. "Causing just enough trouble to keep life interesting."

	"Aye, I wilt try them then, though in this society, I knowst not how I would avoid drawing attention. But aye, these clothes art rather uncomfortable... but in order to take charming young X-Women out, tis a sacrifice I am most willing to make. And aye, that makes greater sense."

	Chris smiles. "Don't worry. Whatever I send, I'll make sure you can still move around like the big strong warrior you are." Dinner is finished soon enough, and they stride out of the restaurant, Chris happy to have her stomach filled, and hanging on her date's arm. "Mmm... good meal." He could make the next call, be it a round of actual desert, or back to the HQ. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He guides them back to the Defenders HQ, seeming content, but not overstuffed after 5 of their biggest steaks and sides, and to the stock of mead he's picked up. "We hath a few types. Dost thou prefer sweeter drinks or less?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	pym_kitten 2009-08-22 07:42 am UTC (link)
	Chris sits herself on the edge of his bed, kicking her legs slightly to stretch out, keeping them together at the knees of course. "Sweet, like apples, but not as sharp as lemons or limes. That make sense?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	stone_bear 2009-08-22 07:44 am UTC (link)
	He pours two goblets full, offering one over to her. "Tis little worry, good mead ist not as sharp as most wines. Try that." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Chris takes a small sip at first, then a larger one, finding it to her liking. She smiles over the goblet at her host. "Very nice... good taste, and a little kick." She winks. "Good thing I'm not planning on driving... or really going anywhere for a good while." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Be cautious, tis stronger than it tastes, or so I hath been told. And aye, methinks we canst stay occupied for some time." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Stronger is right, Chris is feeling bubbles run under her skin. She's a bit of a lightweight when not transformed, with little drinking under her belt anyway. "Then why is the lady sitting by herself?" She giggles, patting a spot next to her. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	stone_bear 2009-08-22 08:54 am UTC (link)
	"Tis easily fixed." he replies, filling their cups again, then sitting down right next to her. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Chris smiles as she gets her refill, and climbs into his lap, laying her legs across his own. "Much better." She gives him a meaningful gaze as she takes a long slow drink. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	stone_bear 2009-08-22 09:06 am UTC (link)
	He drains his cup as she settles in, wrapping an arm around her. Then he tosses the cup over his shoulder, returning the look. "Aye, and can be better still." (Reply to this)(Parent)
