Painting the Town Red
Manhattan was beautiful in those weeks where summer hadn't quite ended yet, but there was the nip of Fall in the air. The trees had yet to begin to turn, but the frenzy of the summer was dying down leaving the city oddly relaxed. It was a perfect dayt for three people to explore the city that was to be their new home.

Charlotte Lensherre, "Lottie" to her friends, had finally slept well for the first night in she couldnt remember how long. The constant worry over her mutation (or lack there of) had finally lifted a bit, finally wasn't so pressing so she felt constantly strangled. She hadn't realized just how badly she'd been worrying, how strained she'd been in, as if holding herself in a constant tensed state would force the mutation to surface. That's just not how it worked...And now that she could think of something else, those thoughts turned to the city around her.

The view from her bedroom was beautiful - lush green trees overlooking a quiet street. She'd spent the evening on the computer. There was so much to see and do...China Town, Wall Street, Penn Station, The Statue of Liberty, Maddison Avenue, Central Park, the Zoo...And there was the food, pizza, hot dogs...she'd barely slept. It was like Christmas, except a total void of parental supervision for the first time in her life!

She was waiting twenty minutes before the appointed time that she, Angelo and Sangai had agreed to the night before, bouncing on her heels in anticipation as she looked up the street one way, then the other before sitting back down on the steps leading up to the consulate to try to wait.

	"It is often difficult to keep tabs on a teleporter," Sengai admitted sheepishly. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Oh..." THat made her slow down quick enough. "Well...should we wait? or..will he just catch up?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"He tends to appear where he's needed." Sengai shrugs. "He'll probably appear from nowhere soon." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	She gave him a warm smile, her eyes sparkling with excitement. "Well I guess it's just the two of us...for now.." And with that, she slipped past him and for the front doors. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Charlotte, wait for me!" He says a little flustered as he sought to catch up as he. As he slipped on his sunglasses, he had a feeling that this would be..interesting. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Did you have a plan or should we just see where the day takes us?" she paused for a moment at the to of the steps and pirouetting once on them as she headed down before turning to look at him, her eyes bright. "Can we ride the subway??" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	whoholdsthewhip 2011-09-20 02:56 am UTC (link)
	He fights the urge to gulp. "The subway? It's a very..confining area. Are you certain you'd want to do that?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	lottelensherre 2011-09-20 03:10 am UTC (link)
	"We don't have to," she quickly amended, seeing him grow uncomfortable. "will you show me how to hall a cab then?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"It's alright, Miss Charlotte. Any discomfort I feel is irrelevant. I will go where you do, within reason of course." He looks at the taxis driving by. "That much I do know. You raise your arm up and shout taxi. Though it can often be a frustrating process." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Alright first things first. You absolutely have to call me Charlotte. Or Lottie, though that might be pushing your sensibilities. I want us to be friends... I could really use some friends, not servants or bodyguards or people kept at arms length..."

She apparently wasn't that interested in the cab, or at least deemed her words more important as she gave him her full attention. "And as a friend, at least as a good friend.... We're going to do something we both enjoy. Like stay out of the subway. So... Central park? Rockafeller? Oh!! Do you think we could find some rockettes?? I always watch their Christmas special... I wish I was 5'11..."

Hopefully, her companion didn't mind a little chatter..

	"I'd like that..Charlotte." He smiles genuinely. "Central Park is quite lovely. I've seen Rockafeller from a distance, but never in person. And I'm sorry but..what's a rockette?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"oh Sengai....." she linked arms with him. "tell me you're a leg man...." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	whoholdsthewhip 2011-09-20 04:56 pm UTC (link)
	He looked at her quizzically. "A leg man?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	lottelensherre 2011-09-20 05:03 pm UTC (link)
	"Yeah, you know... Leg men, boob man, butt man... What is your favorite part of a girl? What is the first thing you look at, before you even know you're looking? Me personally..? Like me? I like arms. Big strong forearms... So are you a leg man?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Sengai turns a little red. "I..I'm not certain how to answer that, Mi..Charlotte." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Okay, okay.. Don't think so hard, you'll get hemeroids... So which way is central park? I heard they have an amazing zoo..." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	whoholdsthewhip 2011-09-20 05:21 pm UTC (link)
	"Hemer..." Sengai stops himself. Perhaps some things were best left unknown. "This way," he says indicating the direction. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	lottelensherre 2011-09-20 06:52 pm UTC (link)
	"so where else have you been? Where are you from, what are your aspirations??" She kept a tight hold on his arm as she dragged him across the street. "If you had to sum up yourself in one sentence, what would it be?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	whoholdsthewhip 2011-09-20 07:13 pm UTC (link)
	"I'm afraid I'm a rather dull man, Charlotte. This is the first place new I'v been since I left home. I'm from a small village in Sri Lanka. I doubt it is on any map. I came here to learn to control my powers better and to settle an old debt my father owes yours," Sengai followed her line of questioning relatively well. He thinks on this last one.

	"Sengai... I don't know what happened with your dad... But I know you aren't responsible for what gee does and I'm sure my dad wouldn't want you to make up for simmering you didn't even do..." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	whoholdsthewhip 2011-09-20 08:34 pm UTC (link)
	"Maybe..but it's a debt my father's not capable of repaying anymore. So it falls to me." He manages to smile a little. "It's alright, but thank you." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Well.. What would you be doing if you wernt absolving this debt? Medical school? The circus?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	whoholdsthewhip 2011-09-20 09:46 pm UTC (link)
	"I know little in the way of medicine and I'm not much of a performer. Truthfully all I really know how to do is fight. Perhaps a combat sport." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I think you'd make a wonderful teacher...your very patient. and combat skills could come in handy." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	whoholdsthewhip 2011-09-20 10:15 pm UTC (link)
	"A teacher?" Sengai asked, a little surprised. "That's very flattering, Charlotte, but I have little formal education. My parents educated me themselves. I never even attended a government school." (Reply to this)(Parent)
