Planning a Field Trip
Henry steps into the living room, having just returned from lunch.

And he stops. Because there's Katima, in the living room, arched over backwards, one arm stretching upward, her eyes closed, humming.

"...Kat...?" he asks, curious.

	"We are," Henry replies. "I've got a call out to his dad. Soon as he's able to respond, we'll have the aid of one of the greatest Green Lanterns in the universe. Then we're going to go rescue her. Blue and Josh are coming, too." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I say we need a plan and we need firepower. Sodam Yat can help with both." Henry looks Kat over. "We're not going to go in so recklessly that we join her." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Who says we can't strategize and come up with a plan on our own. Sometimes it is wise to attack the enemies in waves designed so that they think they will easily win the day." She quiets. "I am not afraid to give my life in aid ot Alerron, Henry." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I know you're not," Henry nods, taking her hand. "But I'm not willing for you to give your life unnecessarily. We can do it without anyone dying." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	She nods, looking at him carefully. "So you have met him and spoken with him. What...do you think?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	lantern_kid 2010-04-20 03:42 pm UTC (link)
	"He seems like a really good guy," Henry replies. "I don't know him as well as you do, but I'll trust him based on your word." He looks her over, considering bringing up concerns to her, but deciding it might sound too paranoid. "But he didn't like root beer," he finally says with a grin. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	compassionate 2010-04-20 04:06 pm UTC (link)
	"I told you, that stuff is terrible Henry." Kat smiles and pulls him close to her, kissing him. "You silly, silly Earth beings and your love of weird things." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	lantern_kid 2010-04-20 05:14 pm UTC (link)
	He returns the kiss happily. "I can forgive you not liking root beer," he grins. "But you're a special case." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	compassionate 2010-04-20 05:18 pm UTC (link)
	"And just why am I a special case?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	lantern_kid 2010-04-20 05:25 pm UTC (link)
	He grins. "Well... I don't think he knows how to do that thing with his tongue that you do..." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	compassionate 2010-04-20 05:30 pm UTC (link)
	Kat suddenly blushes, her skin deepening in its red tone. "I...don't know that we should be talking about what he can do in that regard. I don't like comparing the men I love to each other in any way. You are all special and perfect." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	lantern_kid 2010-04-20 05:32 pm UTC (link)
	Henry's smile turns more gentle. "Hey, I know that. You and Blue and Josh are all different for me. I'm just joking." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	compassionate 2010-04-20 05:34 pm UTC (link)
	"Even when you have all of us with you at once?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	lantern_kid 2010-04-20 05:43 pm UTC (link)
	"Even then. Especially then." He considers. "It's... what each of you do differently is so noticeable." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Sometimes I wonder, " she says softly. "Avalon is so intense when we're all together and Josh...so pure." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	lantern_kid 2010-04-21 03:40 am UTC (link)
	"They're like that normally, too," Henry replies. "Josh is so... gentle." He leans over and wraps an arm around her. "And you..." He considers, trying to find a way to describe her. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	compassionate 2010-04-21 03:42 am UTC (link)
	"I'm the girl. You boys are so fitting with each other." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	lantern_kid 2010-04-21 03:46 am UTC (link)
	"You're not just 'the girl,'" Henry argues. "There's more to it than that. You're... intense, too, but not like Ava. It's..." He reaches out and brushes her hair out of her face. "You... help me... I dunno. Find my center or something." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	compassionate 2010-04-21 03:48 am UTC (link)
	She smiles and captures his hand with hers, gently curling her fingers around his. "This is probably why we often just talk instead of other things. Or why you like to just be in my arms quietly." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	lantern_kid 2010-04-21 04:28 am UTC (link)
	"I talk with the guys, too," Henry nods. "But... yeah, it's different with you. Not to say that the sex isn't also awesome, of course." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	compassionate 2010-04-21 04:33 am UTC (link)
	"Henry, if you prefer to be lovers with just the boys ot does not make me care less or be less your girlfriend." She smiled, a patient and deeply caring. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	lantern_kid 2010-04-21 04:36 am UTC (link)
	Henry laughs, honestly. "Not. At. All." He smiles at her. "Kat, I like girls and boys. You've got parts they don't have, and I like those parts. And I like the mind they're attached to, too." He leans forward to kiss her. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
