Test Scene
Indigo. The color of compassion. It may have been her charge, but Katima Sers of Korugar wasn't just a wielder of the Indigo Light. She was a teenager and like most teenagers, she valued two things pretty much above all others in her free time: pizza and hanging out. So it was with both in mind when she landed feet on Henry's doorstep, a piping hot pepperoni pie from DiAngelo's in one hand, the other banging on the door.
Besides...offering pizza to a Green Lantern was compassionate, right? Especially a cute one.

	Henry opens the door with a grin. "Katima!" Then he sees the pizza. "You really know the way to charm a guy, don't you? Cleavage and pizza." He gestures, allowing her in. (Reply to this)(Thread)

"You are the second Earth male to make notice of this thing called cleavage."

Katima moved past him and into the house, shaking her head a little.

"The guy at the pizza place metioned it. And something about my ass. There isn't anything wrong with it, I don't think. Anyway. I hope you like pepperoni. I had a craving and I felt like sharing. Where should I put this?"

	"There's definitely nothing wrong with your ass or your cleavage," he replies, leading her to the kitchen. "You can put it in the kitchen on the counter. Josh and Blue are out." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"They are? That's a shame." Sitting the pizza on the counter, she tried to put on an adequately disappointed face, but her blue eyes gleamed a bit--full of mischief. "I guess that means I get you all to myself. I'm not interrupting your afternoon, am I? I know days off are sometimes rare." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He grins. "I guess you do," he smiles. "And I'm always happy to get an afternoon interrupted by someone like you." He winks. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Then you're a lucky boy that I chose to interrupt you, Lantern Jordan." Opening the box she pulls out a slice of pizza and puts it on a paper towel before offering it to him, grinning. "You know I was hoping I'd find you alone. Nothing against Josh and Blue, of course." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He takes a piece of pizza as well. "What are you thinking?" he asks, smirking. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Terrible things. Terrible curious things about this so-called willpower you Green Lanterns wield." She chews thoughtfully. "Do you usually make guests stand in the kitchen?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"We could head to a different room," he suggests, with a smile. He pauses a long moment. "...such as the living room." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

A smile stretches across her face, eyes lowering a little bit.

"The living room sounds good, but your reputation preceeds you." Leaning forward, she whispers in his ear, "I know you wanted to say something else."

Grinning, she strolls out of the kitchen, long rose-hued legs carrying her to the living room where she drapes herself on the couch, arranging herself just so.

	He grins. "I say what I want to say," he tells her, following her to the living room. He sits on the edge of the couch nearby. "I can't always be predictable," he smiles at her. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	compassionate 2010-03-23 11:08 pm UTC (link)
	"So. What were you doing with your afternoon before I showed up half-naked with pizza?" She tucks her feet underneath her and leans back a bit, resting her chin on her hand. "I'm curious as to what Earth beings do." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	lantern_kid 2010-03-23 11:09 pm UTC (link)
	"Netflix came in today," he says, sliding off the arm of the couch onto a cushion so he's sitting up, his back half-facing her. "I somehow missed Zombieland in the theater, and I was going to watch it today. But I can put something else on, if you like." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Zombieland is a comedy, isn't it?"

She leaned forward to pick up the sleeve of the movie, eyes darting over the text explaining the flick's general premise. She seemed to be examining it for a moment thoughtfully, with the deliberation that appeared to be part and parcel of the Indigo Tribe.

"Let's watch this. I enjoy a laugh. And the point wasn't to derail your afternoon but to join you in it. To spend time with you."

	He leans back against her, nestling his head against her chest. "I can live with that." A green hand emerges from his ring, placing the disk into the player, then turning on the television and sound system, and dimming the lights. "Universal remote," he gestures to the ring from his comfortable position. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	It struck her as odd, the way he just leaned back against her and started to cuddle but at the same time, it was comfortable. Katima stretched out a bit beneath him, settling into a position that was part embrace, part snuggle as she rested her head against a cushion. "The rings are handy in that way." She sighed softly. "This is comfortable." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	lantern_kid 2010-03-23 11:14 pm UTC (link)
	"Definitely," he agrees, turning sideways so he can wrap an arm around Katima while resting his head on her chest and (in theory) watching the movie. "How about on Korugar? What did you used to do in your free afternoons?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"My parents ran a farm. There were no free afternoons on Korugar that I recall, but I became part of the Indigo Tribe when I was young. We don't have television that far out in space." She smiled softly, curling a bit closer to him. "I think in both places when I would have any time to myself I would just lay in a comfortable place and daydream. About the vastness of the universe. I've always been curious about other galaxies. I think I would have become what you call an astronomer had it not been for my calling."

She paused.

"Oh and we have soccer."

	"That doesn't surprise me," Henry replies. "Most places outside of the US do." He considers. "It's funny. I grew up hearing all these stories from my father about all these places in the universe... and I thought, when I got my ring, I'd be ready. But it never loses its magic, does it?"

"No, it really doesn't. You always think you understand how vast things are and then you turn a corner and see a whole world you could never imagine before. That's how I felt, about Earth when I saw it. I actually paused for a moment and just...stared. It's almost heartbreaking to think that most creatures will never see worlds outside their own and we are so deeply gifted with the vision of worlds."

"I don't know that it's so much about having a big heart, Henry. I think it's just more about understanding what I feel and letting the feelings of others flow through me." She smiles a little as she looks down into his eyes. "All feelings. Sometimes I don't know if the ring chose me because I was truly meant for this or because there was really no other place for me."

	"Perhaps." She sits quietly for a long moment, turning so that she's facing him, all pretense of watching the movie abandoned. "You're special, too." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

The movie is paused, still in the opening credits with a woman running, pursued by a zombie.

Henry looks up at her from where he's lying. "Most of the time, I'd laugh it off and say, 'I know.' But... I grew up all around superheroes, you know? Any of my friends outside of school, the kids of my dad's friends... they were all superpowered. And I was just some kid rescued from a baby-smuggling organization." He shakes his head. "I've tried so hard to stand out, just so I can... fit in, I guess." He smiles at her. "It's hard to grow up normal when everyone else around you is exceptional."

	Katima smiles softly and rests a hand against his cheek. "It's that you are Henry Jordan, a child saved by love, that makes you exceptional. You know what it is to see the world with seemingly-ordinary eyes and to appreciate the grandness and the smallest details. You feel." She takes his hand and places it over her heart. "You feel. I can feel it in here." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	She studies his eyes for long moments, tangling her fingers with his, closing their hands together. "You feel," she whispers, eyes closing. Her heart is racing. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He leans forward, slowly, still studying her eyes, hands still grasped in hers. There's nothing he can say that won't seem trite. There's nothing he can say at all. So he leans in to gently place a kiss on her lips. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	compassionate 2010-03-23 11:47 pm UTC (link)
	He doesn't need words. He opened himself up to her and she can feel all she needs to know, that little bit of depth he chose to reveal. His lips touch hers and she kisses him in return, softly, her hand still folded in his even as she nestles deeper into his half-embrace. (Reply to this)(Parent)
