Recharging (open)
Kalypso's favorite place to soak up some rays and cosmic energies was the outer edge of the atmosphere. She had spent the last few hours just floating and recharging her batteries. It was so quiet and so peaceful that one couldn't help to appreciate it and appreciate the view. The Earth looked breathtakingly beautiful from space.

Now that her energy stores were replenished, she needed something else. She formed a telekinetic bubble around herself to keep her clothes from burning up on re-entry and headed back toward New York.

Not too much later she was sitting outside her favorite coffee shop and enjoying a cup of cafe mocha.

	One moment, she sips her coffee and the seat across from her is empty. The next moment, her cousin sits before her. "Hello, Kalypso." Eli smiles, his dagger visible on his hip beneath his coat (which, by now, it's too warm for, but it's not like he really notices). "You look like you are having a good day." he says.

	Kal jumped at the sudden appearance of her cousin. "Cousin!" She smiled and leaned over to kiss his cheek. "I am, but it just go better. How are you and to what do I owe the honor?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Can I not see my cousin at a whim?" he asks, smiling at her. "I am well. My life has taken turns that I did not foresee and...that is part of why I have come to you today. You have experience that I do not and I have questions." he says.

"I have met another wonderful woman recently and I enjoy spending time her. I believe you know Luna. She is a very fun to be around...but I find myself wondering how to manage in a relationship in which we are so different?

I do not have to sleep, and she does, therefore, I cannot spend more time with her. I do not need to eat, and she does, so I do. May I ask how you and Jack deal with these things? Does he ever feel that you are patronizing him by taking part in things that you do not have to do?" Eli asks, a bit of concern in his face.

She can tell that he's been thinking about this for quite some time.

"I am glad to hear you have met someone," Kal said. She had concerns about her cousin in the past. Unlike Kal, Eli had grown up in Polaria and isolated away from humanity. Eternals tended to be isolationists, but even the Olympian Eternals interacted with humanity.

"No, he doesn't," Kal said. "Of if he does he has never said anything about it. We just enjoy the moment for what it is and don't think about things too much."

Though Kal wasn't sure anymore. It felt like Jack and she were drifting apart and Kal didn't know how to fix it.

	Eli though he heard something in Kalypso's voice regarding Jack, but he decided not to press the issue. She would talk to him in time, if she felt she could trust him. "How have you been, Cousin? You must let me design a dress for you sometime. I believe I am getting better every day." he says. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I am good, Cousin. I am keeping busy with the Avengers and Mother keeps me busy with her business. I was just in the upper atmosphere recharging a bit." She signaled the waitress to come over. "Would you like something?" Kal asked when the waitress arrived. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	blinkandmissme 2011-04-25 02:32 am UTC (link)
	"I will have whatever coffee you are having. I have not had any in three hours." Eli smiles, nodding politely to the waitress. When she leaves, he leans in to speak to Kalypso. "Did I tell you that I have encountered vampires in recent weeks?" he asks. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"You have not," Kal said. "You must tell me all about it. I've only read about them in the archives in Olympia and of course what I have seen in popular culture." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"They are fearsome and powerful creatures. I met others who aided me in battling them and we will be working together in the future to stop them. They are a blight, Kalypso. Horrid creatures that feed from the living." Eli says. "I also met a werewolf. He seemed normal, aside from the werewolf bit." he says. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Is this going to become a full-time thing with you?" she asked. Yes, she worried about him. They were Eternals and very hard to kill, but it didn't mean she didn't worry. "You are having quite the adventures. First hopping through time and different worlds and now fighting vampires and meeting werewolves. I am envious, Cousin." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Yes, I believe it is, at least while I set up my other profession. Once that is done, however, I hope to have the capital necessary to travel a lot more." Eli tells her. "You are a member of the Avengers, Cousin. I expect that you will have another amazing story to tell me before too long." he smiles. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"You can always have my mother transmute some garbage into gold for you," Kal suggested. "But what is this other profession of which you speak?" "Maybe," she said. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Do you think she would be willing? My father gave me a small bit of money when I left, but he also made it clear that I was not to ask for any more." Eli says.

"I will need much capital to get started on my plan. I have been studying many books on fashion. I want to design clothing. Men's clothing, women's clothing...I want to be mentioned in the same breath as people like Calvin Klein, Tommy Hilfiger and Versace. Even Ralph Lauren." he tells her.

"And, I would like to be able to design clothing for my beautiful cousin as well." Eli smiles.

	"Of course she would," Kal said. Sersi could be a nightmare to some, but to most she was always helpful. "You're family. Part of the side we like." She gave him a wink. "I know you'll be a famous designer someday." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"I certainly hope so, Kalypso. We have the rest of our lives before us and there is so much we can see and be and learn and do. I would like to try this first. Perhaps, at some point, I will take a vow of silence for a decade or two, just to see if I can do it." Eli says.

"But, if I can make clothing that people will wear, I will consider than accomplishment." he says.

	"You're not allowed to do that, Cousin. I could not bear the thought of going a decade or two without talking with you," she told him. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Give it a decade or two and you might change your mind." he grins in jest. "You could always take a vow of silence with me. We could see who would be the first to crack." Eli suggests. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Eli laughs. "So...if i could find a giant stone or two for your mother, do you think she could solve my monetary issues?" he asks. "I am told that the prices of gold and silver are very good these days." Eli says. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	notinplainsight 2011-04-29 03:58 am UTC (link)
	"She can turn anything into gold," Kal said. "So it doesn't matter what you give her. The prices are very good right now. Gold is at an all time high. The economy is pretty bad." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Good to know. I will find enough so that she is not overtaxed on my behalf." he says. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	notinplainsight 2011-04-29 04:58 am UTC (link)
	"The problem isn't overtaxing, Mother. The problem will be keeping her from going overboard." Sersi got /enthusiastic/ about things. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	blinkandmissme 2011-04-30 02:26 am UTC (link)
	Eli seemed confused. "You think she would go overboard?" he asks. He's heard that Sersi loves a good time, and enjoys the company of men, but he can't really imagine her going overboard. Then again, he is viewing her through the lens of his cousin, who always seems very moderate. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"We are still talking about the same woman who moved me in with my boyfriend after only dating for a few weeks, right?" Kal asked. "Mom gets enthusiastic about things. Just tell her you need some cash, but do yourself a favor and /don't/ say why." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	blinkandmissme 2011-04-30 07:57 pm UTC (link)
	"All right. I will do what I can, but I will not lie to her. I suppose she would know if I did." Eli says, chuckling a bit. "Did she really move you in with Jack only after a few weeks? She must really have thought you liked him if she would do that for you." Eli mentions. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
