Careful manuvering
Eliza was frantic in her search for some sun glasses and some warm clothing so she could go shopping. She pulled on a coat and shoved some gloves into her pocket and bounced out of her room with a purse stuck under one arm. She stops and stands by a window looking outside. It really did look chilly but she had to get out there to pick up something for the charity ball.

She wonders for a moment if she can recruit someone to go with her on this little trip. She smiles to herself and searches the mansion looking for Iason before she looses her nerve. There's no reason to not ask him to go with her. It's just to pick up some toys.

"Iason?"

	Iason is pretty easy to find, out in the backyard helping get things ready for the holiday season. Its still all pretty novel to him. He hovers back down at the sound of a voice, smiling when he sees Eliza. "Eliza, always good to see you. Can I help you with something?" (Reply to this)(Thread)

Eliza just notes that her stomach fluttered just a little when he smiled. Oh yeah Anya was right in her assessment of Iason during the girls movie night. She tucks some hair behind one ear.

"Well you see I have to go buy some toys for a charity event that's going to be a little latter on this month." She is being very honest when she speaks. "The guests bring toys they buy for the kids. I have a hard time picking stuff out so I thought I'd ask if you'd like to join me."

She isn't quite rambling but one hand waves in the air as she talks. She's either very still or full of motions when she's talking and not falling anywhere in between.

	He rubs his chin thoughtfully. "Well, I can't say I know anything about children's toys, I doubt my childhood was at all typical, but I'd be happy to come and provide moral support and be even more inept at picking things out so you feel better. Well worth it for your company. I should probably go get dressed real quick first." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Eliza finds herself grinning at how he puts things. He's actually quite fun to listen to. "Well I would enjoy your company anyways." She is glad he can't see her look him over behind her sun glasses but she is amused. "If you didn't it would make shopping interesting but... They might not let us in the store. I can wait."

"Ok, I'll be right back. And I always enjoy your company, and it is a good cause." he replies, flying up to his window, which he usually just keeps open for just such purposes. Easier to get in and out at all hours since he doesn't sleep, and the weather doesn't really affect him one way or another.
Grabbing a shirt doesn't take long, and in a few moments he's back and offering an arm. "We driving into town, or want to fly with me?"

	She ponders this with a thoughtful look on her face. "I'm okay with flying in right now. Depending on what we get we may want to take a taxi back." She hadn't really ever noticed he kept his window open. She had thought of the guy's rooms as off limits. Mostly because she had been so awkward about her feelings over things. Not so much anymore.

	He extends an arm. "Ok, flying it is. Hang on then." Iason's room usually has the door open too, should she ever be curious. Of course, were the closet not in use with the small number of clothes he wears the room would look almost entirely unused and undecorated. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

She puts an arm around him and holds on. She doesn't think he will let her drop. And he hasn't seen what his room looks like out of a sense of wanting to let him have his privacy. She doesn't know how often he keeps his door open but chances were unless she was looking for him she wouldn't look inside.

The first place she did check was the kitchen actually. She got used to him being there when he decided to learn how to cook. Speaking of that she thinks she'll share a secret with him once they land.

	There's no chance he'd let her drop. He puts an arm around her, and extends his very limited tactile telekinesis around her. Compared to almost every other Eternal his telekinetics are terrible, but it helps here to make sure she's comfortable in flight. "Ok, this shouldn't take long. Just point out where you want to land when we're above it." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Eliza has to think about. She knows a few places with toys. The other places that had come to mind had closed when she checked them out on-line.

Then it comes to mind Of course Fao Schawrtz! That was a good toy store so when she sees it she points it out. She is so used to swinging and jumping from buildings that being up in the air with Iason doesn't even bother her for a second. "That should be a good place to start. It's a huge place. We'll find something, I'm sure."

	He takes them down to the nearest hidden area so they don't get too much attention right off. "I'm sure we will. So, what are your plans for Christmas, otherwise?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"I'm not sure yet. It depends what my Dad and his wife are doing," she admits. "I want to get to spend time with everyone. Mom was awesome about offering to go with me to see Dad."

She fights to not frown. She loved her mother dearly for everything she did she just didn't look forward to anything that might happen between Mom and Elektra. "What do you think you'll do?"

"I don't know, actually. My aunt is probably throwing a big party, just because its an excuse to party. Christmas or any other holiday wasn't really anything to me growing up, so I'm kind of learning as I go. I was pondering just spending it in lower orbit and observing, though I think I'd miss a lot of the nuances. If you need a lift coast to coast to catch everything you'd like to do, let me know though. I'm happy to help."

	Eliza blinks up at him. He has just enough height on her for her to do that. She was listening to him and found herself just blushing a little. She pants a kiss on his cheek. "Thank you. I think if I have to do any travel it will be with my Mom though. I... hope you find something you enjoy about Christmas though. I think it's pretty this time of year." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	cosmic_son 2009-12-12 06:34 am UTC (link)
	He smiles brightly at the kiss. "No problem, just figured I'd offer. And I'm sure I'll find plenty to like. I love learning new things and all, its just all very new to me, and I'm not sure my Aunt's party would be the best option." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	ladydevil 2009-12-12 06:40 am UTC (link)
	She nods a little. "I heard stories. You might not learn a lot there. I think there should be an Avenger's party though. On my world they had one every year. It was very nice." She stops when she tries to figure out where to start. This store is huge with displays everywhere. She gives him a glance. "Any idea where we should start looking?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

He scans about the place, pushing his senses to their limits.
"Those displays four rows back sound very popular with at least half a dozen children and a few mothers, and the back left corner has at least two toddlers with their mothers, so depends on what age group you're looking for. And yeah, I'll probably go to the Avengers' one. I'm pretty sure my Aunt would just be trying to hook me up with someone if I came without a date. Much as I appreciate Sersi, I think I'll pass."

She looks to see what the kids are looking at. Her eyes go wide. "I forgot they were making a movie out of that."

She takes his hand and starts to pull him along. "There's this book called Where The Wild Things Are. They made it into a movie and they always make cool toys after a kids movie comes out."

She stops not too far away and looks on with a fond smile. Her childhood damn it. Nothing beat recalling a little her begging her Mom to read it just one more time before bed. Boy she had been little.

Eliza crooks a brow. "So she's playing match maker?"

	cosmic_son 2009-12-12 06:53 am UTC (link)
	"I'll have to read it then, and maybe go to the movie. You want to see the movie?" he asks, looking over the toys curiously. "I'm not sure if she's particularly trying to play matchmaker so much as figuring that I'd appreciate her lifestyle. Which... gets complicated." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	ladydevil 2009-12-12 07:00 am UTC (link)
	"I'd like that," Eliza murmurs with a smile. "We should pick up a copy of the book for the charity... since I know I'll have to buy a couple of these stuffed toys for them." Eliza looks at him and tilts her head while her brain filter goes boom so she can understand exactly what that means. Which means given her fair skin it will be easy to see her blush. "Oh."

He picks up on the blush pretty quickly, as well as realizing he just accidentally asked her out, again. And she'd agreed, again. Well, if he's going to have that kind of track record, he figures he might as well be a little bold.
"I'll bet we can find it playing somewhere. We can get a few copies of the book and toys, then do dinner, if you're up for it? And... yeah, I have nothing against my Aunt or her life. Its just that there's this really gorgeous redhead I've had my eye on that I'd like to get to know a little better."

	That has Eliza agreeing. It all sounds like a good plan to her. She scans the shelves as she selects a few of the soft toys. "That's a good plan," she says out loud. "I'm pretty sure it won't take us long to find the childrens books," (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	cosmic_son 2009-12-12 05:37 pm UTC (link)
	He's still a bit surprised how well that went, this is promising. "It shouldn't, how many toys were you looking to get? We have a lot of options here. Feel free to have me carry stuff." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Three or four of them. I figure that they'll be going to more than one kid so it's okay to get a couple," she says with a nod as she begins to reach over he heads of the kids to select a few.

"Wow. They did a good job with these." She turns a stuffed Bernard over in her hands and lets out an amused grin. "When I was little Mom used to read the book to me in Russian."

She picks up a fifth one with every intention of giving it to her mother on New Year's. She thinks it's a little sappy but she can't help herself right now. "Now to the books?"

	cosmic_son 2009-12-12 05:59 pm UTC (link)
	He grabs a few more of them. A couple for the kids, and then a certain redhead is going to find the one she reacted to most strongly as her Christmas present, or one of them anyway, in a few weeks. "I'll take your word for it. I'm not familiar with the source, but it looks interesting. I think the children's books are over there." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
