*It was an unusual choice but he'd send word and so, she went. Arriving at the beach, she emerged form teh car in jeans and a sweater with a leather jacket over it*

Lukas Vangelis (Dec 6, 2010 3:47:49 PM)
*is sitting in the sand in his usual cargo shorts, barefoot.. with a hoodie thrown over a couple layered shirts..the ends sticking out above his shorts to betray their presence. The hood's up over his head, his knees loosely up in front of him and his arms draped across them. It's almost funny, despite being pretty broad, his limbs still seem too long for him. He's watching the ocean, if anything..at least his head's turned that way*

Dara Levin (Dec 6, 2010 3:55:25 PM)
*She reached him and laid a hand on his shoulder* Good afternoon.

Lukas Vangelis (Dec 6, 2010 3:57:38 PM)
*it's not as if anyone else is around the beach in the chill weather, he turns somewhat at her approach and looks up when she touches his shoulder* Hey Dara. *managing something of his usual half-smile* What's up?

Dara Levin (Dec 6, 2010 3:58:25 PM)
Taking a couple of vacation days to do some Christmas shopping. ANd you called?

Lukas Vangelis (Dec 6, 2010 3:59:57 PM)
Yeah, guess I did. *faintly amused* Just been a hell of a day. Christmas shopping sounds more interesting. Family stuff?

Dara Levin (Dec 6, 2010 4:01:57 PM)
*she nodded* And you. *She dropped ot the sand beside him* A hell of a day and you needed? An ear? Someone to be quiet with maybe?

Lukas Vangelis (Dec 6, 2010 4:04:59 PM)
*shifting to cross one arm over the other and catch hold of the hand on his shoulder, folding his legs somewhat cross-legged as he pulls her genty down to sit in his lap, keeping her out of the wet sand* Something like that. Sitting by myself isn't a good idea with this many irons in the fire.

Dara Levin (Dec 6, 2010 4:08:42 PM)
*she settled in against him, appreciating the warmth* So talk to me sweetie. What's up? *her head rested gainst his shoulder and she took a deep breath.*

Lukas Vangelis (Dec 6, 2010 4:16:55 PM)
((Sorry, kids awake and issues)) *a shallow chuckle, his voice low in case of passer's by..though he hasn't seen or heard any yet* Pick something. This challenge with Eyes, Keening's crush on Kaia, The upcoming challenge for Elder. The attacks on the kin. Tristan's challenge maybe taking me back up North for a bit. *shaking his head*

Dara Levin (Dec 6, 2010 4:18:37 PM)
Back upo a moment. What challenge of Tristan's?

Lukas Vangelis (Dec 6, 2010 4:21:58 PM)
He's working toward Adren. He's got to meet with an Adren of each of the Tribes, I suggested the sept up North where I went for my Fostern trials as a good place to find one.

Dara Levin (Dec 6, 2010 4:23:30 PM)
And why will you have to go?

Lukas Vangelis (Dec 6, 2010 4:24:11 PM)
He's been taking a pack member of whichever Tribe he's visiting with him so far. I'm not sure exactly what he's looking for.

Dara Levin (Dec 6, 2010 4:26:22 PM)
I see. *She nodded* You all ought to find places closer to home, especially if you win this elder challenge.

Lukas Vangelis (Dec 6, 2010 4:28:08 PM)
No idea which will happen first, honestly. Once I settle the matter with Eyes, I'll see about stepping forward for the next pile of shit. *wryly* And..Bastian may choose not to even contest it.. but I find that unlikely.

Dara Levin (Dec 6, 2010 4:29:27 PM)
*she nodded against him* One day at a time, Lukas, that is all you can do. Eyes seems to be backpedalinng a bit from what I hear

Lukas Vangelis (Dec 6, 2010 4:31:38 PM)
*lowers his head for a moment to rest his forehead against her shoulder* Yeah.. but she's completely failed to actually apologize for Lying about me since.. And technically when she first said it, I wasn't Fostern. For all that she's apparently singing my praises.

Dara Levin (Dec 6, 2010 4:34:05 PM)
Sound sto me like she's realized she is between a rock and a hard place. Not that it is going to help her any. *she reached up to bury her fingers in his hair as he laid his head on her shoulder* So much on your shoulders, what can I do? *Her voice was soft as she spoke*

Lukas Vangelis (Dec 6, 2010 4:36:41 PM)
*and the battered hat tips off his head to land in her lap, the sun-bleached ends of the mess he calls hair bright against the darker tint it grows in as. He takes a slow breath as she digs her fingers into his hair* .. This is a good start.. *murmured against her back*

Dara Levin (Dec 6, 2010 4:39:04 PM)
*Her laugh was low and easy as she hugged him tight with her other arm* Pity we are out in plain sight. But I meant what I said. one day at a time is all you can do. One thing focused on before you start on the next. And I'll do whatever I can.

Lukas Vangelis (Dec 6, 2010 4:43:20 PM)
*a wry tilt to his lips as he lifts his head after her awkward hug* ..Am I stubborn, to expect full admission of guilt from the woman who started all this bullshit? *the dark gaze on hers is perhaps tired, but earnest in his curiousity* Is it all teeth, and no thought?

Dara Levin (Dec 6, 2010 4:44:43 PM)
No, it is a matter of honor and she should know better. Deep down, you feel that way too or you would not have answered as you did

Lukas Vangelis (Dec 6, 2010 4:49:40 PM)
Deep down.. I think I should just tear her head off and be done with it, the Elders be damned. *quietly* She had no right..and only retreats now from cowardice. Her prejudice would never allow her to "move forward" with any who were not of her race.

Dara Levin (Dec 6, 2010 4:51:38 PM)
I agree. But you show honor by doing thigns the right way and her cowardice shows her up and badly. You will be victorious, or she will back out and show herself for what she truly is. *her eyes met his as she spoke, then she leaned in brushing her lips to his cheek* You are a smart man, Likas, you will do what's right

Lukas Vangelis (Dec 6, 2010 4:55:04 PM)
Honor dulls our claws while among friends..to preserve us all. I am not sure..that one, should be called friend. *ruefully, putting his head back on her shoulder, turning just slightly to nudge the side of her jaw with the mop of hair on his head, encouraging.. or even requesting her to go back to playing with it, very much the wolf..whatever shape he might wear at the moment* You say I am smart, as if it will keep me from foolishness.. *wryly, murmured behind her*

Dara Levin (Dec 6, 2010 4:56:58 PM)
That is the hope, yes. *her fingers found their way back into his hair, playign among the golden strands, gently massaging his scalp, then playing with the hair once more*

Lukas Vangelis (Dec 6, 2010 5:01:07 PM)
*chuckles shallowly at her confirmation, closing his eyes and letting his breathing deepen and slow under her attention. His shoulders slowly falling somewhat as the coiled tension is gradually released*

Dara Levin (Dec 6, 2010 5:01:52 PM)
That's better. You've been wound far too tight the past few days...well, last night aside.

Lukas Vangelis (Dec 6, 2010 5:03:18 PM)
*a soft snort* I blame.. everyone else. *half-heartedly..even he knows he doesn't mean it*

Dara Levin (Dec 6, 2010 5:04:04 PM)
So what's next? Kaia and Keening? I thought that issue was over? *her figners moved down to stroke the back of his neck*

Lukas Vangelis (Dec 6, 2010 5:07:55 PM)
It is now. If he trespasses again, he'll die. I warned him this morning for the last time. *exhaling slowly, gratefully. Propriety demands he not allow much touch outside the pack, and he sticks to it..but she's pack now* Can't really go into details, wouldn't be fair to Kaia.

Dara Levin (Dec 6, 2010 5:10:27 PM)
I know. At least I am aware in case ther eis trouble again and you're not around.

Lukas Vangelis (Dec 6, 2010 5:13:55 PM)
Yes.. in that case, feel free to call. *wryly* Keening Sorrow, I hope, is not so foolish as to believe I will not keep my word. *lifting his head enough to kiss her cheek in a sort of thanks for her cooperation, he straightens back up and tugs his hood over his head, the usual hat still in her lap*

Dara Levin (Dec 6, 2010 5:14:50 PM)
we can hope he is not so foolish, yes. *She smiled back to him* Time to go?

Lukas Vangelis (Dec 6, 2010 5:17:29 PM)
Probably should, or I'll never finish what I need to for the day. *tilting his head to one side, so he's easier to see behind her* Thanks for swining by during your Christmas shopping.

Lukas Vangelis (Dec 6, 2010 5:17:34 PM)
((Swinging))

Dara Levin (Dec 6, 2010 5:18:53 PM)
For you? Anytime. Promise. You try not to worry so much, alright? And remember, there is a key to the back door on a hook in teh coach house.

Lukas Vangelis (Dec 6, 2010 5:26:48 PM)
*chuckles, getting to his feet and lifting her right along with him, setting her lightly back on her own two feet* I never worry once the decision's done. Just spend a lot of time wondering if it was right. *lifts a brow at that last tidbit* ..I will..remember. ((Sorry, my youngest is nuts. She was crying again.))

*chuckles, getting to his feet and lifting her right along with him, setting her back on her own two feet* I never worry once the decision's made. Just spend a lot of time before and afterward wondering if I was right. *lifts a brow at the last tidbit* I will..remember that.

Dara Levin (Dec 6, 2010 5:29:31 PM)
If the key is there, it's safe to come in. *She smiled, gave him a hug then stepped back*

Lukas Vangelis (Dec 6, 2010 5:31:26 PM)
*returns the hug lightly, leaning down to snatch his hat from the sand where it fell, pushing the hood back to settle it in place with a short tug on the brim* Got it. Thanks again. *a faintly wry smile in return, before he walks her back to her car, climbing into his own truck afterward* ((I should make fudge and take a break from the chat. lol))

Dara Levin (Dec 6, 2010 5:31:57 PM)
(Nap fopr me :) ))

Dara Levin (Dec 6, 2010 5:32:02 PM)
