Sun been down for days...
As it had on Okara the dawn found Katima and Alerron too soon, its warm rays painting shadows onto her rose-hued form as it tangled with Alerron's orange one. She lingered with him, unwilling to leave. It wasn't as though she'd never see him again but that, it seemed, was the problem.

Well over a full day since she left the high school grounds Katima returned home, surprised at how still everything seemed.

	Henry is in the kitchen, preparing breakfast. He looks up as she comes in. "Hey, Kat," he greets, a note of concern in his tone. "You okay?" (Reply to this)(Thread)

	"Hi, Henry." Katima makes her way into the kitchen, dropping her bag on the floor by the door before sitting down at the table. "I am." Her dark head nods as though she's convincing herself. "I hope I didn't worry you." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"A little," he admits. "I mean, there are crazy supervillains out there. I know you're a big girl and all, but I was getting a little worried." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I was safe. Alerron saw to that." Her brow furrows a bit. "He rescued me from school bullies. Henry...I don't know quite how to say this. I am still struggling with human beings in general. Everything that your species believes and accepts about love, sex, and relationships is so strange to me sometimes..." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Well," Henry shrugs, "I'm not exactly cut from the standard mold in that regard." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"This is true." The Indigo tucked her hair behind her ears and took a deep breath. "Last night Alerron and I made love, Henry. Not just once. Repeatedly. I do not regret it." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Henry breathes out, taking a moment to process it. He pours the pancake batter into the pan. "Alright," he says simply. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Is that all you have to say? I didn't expect anger to be certain--I suppose that will come from Avalon, but I expected a bit more." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He considers. "What do you want me to say? Alerron seems like a great guy, and it's not like I'm exclusive just to you. It wouldn't be fair to expect that you'd be exclusive to me." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	compassionate 2010-05-01 05:40 am UTC (link)
	"But we are exclusive to each other, you, Josh, and I. Certainly Josh and I do not...that would be awkward for both him and myself, but we are all four one. I...am the only girl you are with, am I not?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	lantern_kid 2010-05-01 05:43 am UTC (link)
	"Yeah," he replies. "Of course. But you told me." He steps up to Katima to wrap his arms around her. "I wish you'd said something about it before, but it doesn't sound like it was planned." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	compassionate 2010-05-01 05:46 am UTC (link)
	"You humans confuse me," she said softly as she shook her head. "It was not planned, but I love him very much. When he and I parted on Okara it was not our choice. To see him again and to be close to him again...it does not diminish what I feel for you." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	lantern_kid 2010-05-01 05:52 am UTC (link)
	Henry nods. "Just like what I have for Josh and Blue doesn't diminish what we have." He squeezes her tightly. "I understand. And... I'm okay. As long as you're okay, and he's okay." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Avalon is going to be furious." She hugs to him tightly, very relieved that Henry is not the typical human being. It is only half relief, though. "He doesn't like Alerron." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	lantern_kid 2010-05-01 08:38 pm UTC (link)
	"Avalon doesn't have to like him," Henry replies, squeezing her tightly. "It's not like Avalon's having sex with him." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	compassionate 2010-05-02 03:26 am UTC (link)
	"I know. But Avalon's feelings are important to me. I...dont' know him as well as I should." She hugged him tightly. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Then maybe you should spend some more time with him," Henry suggests. "Talk to him." He reaches an arm up to scratch at her scalp gently. "Don't keep us at arm's length, Kat. You taught me to let people in." (Reply to this)(Parent)
