*she takes her time parallel parking again, being careful*
Nikhil Kumar (Jun 21, 2010 9:51:29 PM)
Nikhil isn't in too much of a hurry or bothered by her slow parallel parking, in truth? He probably couldn't do much better. Moving to unbuckle and when they pull up, he moves to rest a hand upon her arm lightly. "Honestly? I'm proud to say that about you now. The way people are about it ... its only made me get my back up and support this more. Makes it more special somehow?"
Chunni Sen (Jun 21, 2010 9:52:32 PM)
*once the car is parked, she turns it off, looks from his hand on her arm to him, and nods* I think you're right, Nikhil.
Nikhil Kumar (Jun 21, 2010 9:53:53 PM)
A touch of a smile and he moves to let her arm go. "What would you like my help with this evening?"
Chunni Sen (Jun 21, 2010 9:54:42 PM)
I have some wall hangings I thought we could put up? I'm not very good with tools....
Nikhil Kumar (Jun 21, 2010 9:56:17 PM)
"I'll do what I can." Smiling to her and then moving to get out of the car, stretching after the drive and then moving to trott up the stairs before her to open up the house and then go in to put on the kettle for them both. He had returned this morning after his earlier trip to the sept with some basic foods from a supermarket, milk, coffee, bread ... bits and pieces.
Chunni Sen (Jun 21, 2010 9:57:00 PM)
*she locks up the car and heads into the building and upstairs, going into the apartment and shutting and locking the door behind her*
Nikhil Kumar (Jun 21, 2010 9:57:38 PM)
A curious look up as she locks the door. "Would you like a coffee or tea Chunni? I have to admit, I still don't know which you prefer."
Chunni Sen (Jun 21, 2010 9:58:12 PM)
Tea, please. *she puts the keys on a table near the door, stops to pull of her shoes*
Nikhil Kumar (Jun 21, 2010 9:59:42 PM)
Nodding at her words, he goes about making them both a tea. Unbuttoning the upper button of his shirt and relaxing a little more, now that they're home.
Chunni Sen (Jun 21, 2010 10:01:49 PM)
*she carries her sandals to their room, then heads for the kitchen, leaning against the counter, not far from him, watching him*
Nikhil Kumar (Jun 21, 2010 10:03:16 PM)
He's careful about the tea, making an effort to get it right. Trained by his mother in some regards perhaps and he glances up at her, his neck and just a small touch of chest hair, not the hairest of men to be seen. "Mmmm?"
Chunni Sen (Jun 21, 2010 10:04:03 PM)
Nothing. *with a smile, watching him a few moments more before going on* So...if I were going to make you dinner....what is your favorite?
Nikhil Kumar (Jun 21, 2010 10:05:20 PM)
"This may sound completely out of the blue, but a good lasange. Maybe cause it was a novelty when i was growing up ... but theres something about it?" Moving to lift her tea and offering it to her.
Chunni Sen (Jun 21, 2010 10:06:13 PM)
*she wasn't expecting that at all, a clearly surprised look on her face...it takes a few seconds for her to reach for the tea* Lasagne.
Nikhil Kumar (Jun 21, 2010 10:06:52 PM)
"Yeah. I know. I told you its a little odd." Chuckling and turning to lean against the bench alongside her as he carefully sips his own tea.
Chunni Sen (Jun 21, 2010 10:07:34 PM)
Sorry. I never made lasagne.... *she brings the cup to her mouth, blows on it a little, takes the tiniest sip*
Nikhil Kumar (Jun 21, 2010 10:08:39 PM)
"Well, perhaps I can make it for you sometime. Theres plenty of other dishes I enjoy."
Chunni Sen (Jun 21, 2010 10:09:11 PM)
Like what? *she takes another tentative sip*
Nikhil Kumar (Jun 21, 2010 10:10:32 PM)
"I enjoy a good lamb madras. With whole peppers in it..." Smiling as he watches how she drinks it.
Chunni Sen (Jun 21, 2010 10:11:46 PM)
*her eyes might have lit up a little, but she only nods again* What else? I have to build up an arsenal....*she smiles slightly to him, holding the cup in both hands*
Nikhil Kumar (Jun 21, 2010 10:13:49 PM)
"Mmm, chicken, have you had a Jelfrazzi before? Quite nice. My father would always say "its not a Jelfrazzi without cashuw nut slivers. He was very particular about cooking some of them."
Chunni Sen (Jun 21, 2010 10:15:32 PM)
*she nods* That sounds good. Okay. Other things? *watching him, lowering the cup to hold it more comfortably*
Nikhil Kumar (Jun 21, 2010 10:17:39 PM)
He takes a gulp of his coffee and looks away, thinking about it. "Have you ever heard of lemon marange (sp) pie? Most haven't, I was introduced to it by a woman while I was taking my rite of passage. Surprisingly good."
Chunni Sen (Jun 21, 2010 10:18:49 PM)
*she smiles, nodding her head* I've had it. It's very good. I never made it but ....I will try to learn. *she smiles, a little slyly, has a few more sips of her tea*
Nikhil Kumar (Jun 21, 2010 10:19:38 PM)
"Same with a good baked cheesecake." Quirking an eyebrow at her smiles. "I guess my tastes are a little all over the place. Sorry."
Chunni Sen (Jun 21, 2010 10:21:36 PM)
You don't have to be sorry. Just patient until I learn to make what you like. I'm afraid I know mostly Indian dishes.
Nikhil Kumar (Jun 21, 2010 10:22:40 PM)
"yes ... I think thats why I like some others. They were a change of pace rather than just eating at the restaurant after a night of working there." Chuckling and taking a gulp of his tea and seemingly quite comfortable leaning there alongside her.
Chunni Sen (Jun 21, 2010 10:23:19 PM)
*she only nods some, then has a little more of her tea*
Nikhil Kumar (Jun 21, 2010 10:24:42 PM)
"Chunni ..." He pauses, and looks down for a moment. "Do you mind if I ask why you came to the restaurant that night? It must've looked terrible."
Chunni Sen (Jun 21, 2010 10:26:50 PM)
*she takes her time, lowering the cup from her lips, looking off to the side, away from him for a few moments, before looking straight ahead, still not at him, quieter* My father told me you were back. I thought I ought to go and ...reintroduce myself. *a glance at him before looking away again* It didn't really go as I had planned.
Nikhil Kumar (Jun 21, 2010 10:28:37 PM)
He sighs, remembering the shame he felt and the embarrassment, along with his wonder at how beautiful she was now. -q- "Yes, I'm sorry for that." Not at all sure what she -had- planned.
Chunni Sen (Jun 21, 2010 10:29:26 PM)
*she shakes her head, looking into her cup of tea* I should have called first, probably. *a small shrug, another sip of tea*
Nikhil Kumar (Jun 21, 2010 10:30:40 PM)
"It wasn't about you ... more that nothing had changed. I dunno ... its hard to explain what being a garou makes you feel. The rage, the anger ... sometimes it just boils over."
Chunni Sen (Jun 21, 2010 10:32:15 PM)
*she stops, still not looking back at him, her jaw setting slightly* If nothing had changed, it was about me...I was part of what had not changed.
Nikhil Kumar (Jun 21, 2010 10:33:31 PM)
"I was just being a headstrong idiot Chunni." His hand moving to touch her arm. -q- "Forgive me?"
Chunni Sen (Jun 21, 2010 10:34:55 PM)
*she looks at him out of the corner of her eye, moving one hand to brush the strand of hair out of her face, after a few moments, she nods, quietly* You're forgiven.
Nikhil Kumar (Jun 21, 2010 10:35:59 PM)
"Thank you. I do ... want to make this work. I'm not entirely sure how it will. But I do." Looking down at his tea and then moving to finish it off with a couple of gulps.
Chunni Sen (Jun 21, 2010 10:37:31 PM)
*she watches him as she takes some normal sips of her drink now that it's cooled off considerably*
Nikhil Kumar (Jun 21, 2010 10:38:10 PM)
"I ... guess I should get to those wall hangings." A slightly embarrassed touch to him as he moves to put his cup down and move off.
Chunni Sen (Jun 21, 2010 10:39:20 PM)
*she tries to swallow a sip too fast, hoping to say something to him, but starting to cough a little instead, putting a hand to her mouth quickly*
Nikhil Kumar (Jun 21, 2010 10:40:20 PM)
A look back quickly and the concern in his eyes might surprise her. "You okay?"
Chunni Sen (Jun 21, 2010 10:41:06 PM)
*another cough or two, nodding, before turning away, swallowing the sip completely and clearing her throat*
Nikhil Kumar (Jun 21, 2010 10:42:40 PM)
He watches her for a moment longer before moving to go back to what he was doing, trying to remember the right box and opening a couple before he gets to it. Pulling them out carefully, one by one.
Chunni Sen (Jun 21, 2010 10:43:12 PM)
*she follows after him* I wanted to say that they could wait, Nikhil.
Nikhil Kumar (Jun 21, 2010 10:44:41 PM)
A frown at that and he looks up from his kneeled position. "Wait? Why do you say that?"
Chunni Sen (Jun 21, 2010 10:45:48 PM)
*she seems a little taken aback and timid about bringing it up, but does anyway* I thought maybe we could talk instead....or you could do that movies in our heads thing.
Nikhil Kumar (Jun 21, 2010 10:46:34 PM)
He smiles and moves to rise, offering her his hands and squeezing hers softly. "We could always do both."
Chunni Sen (Jun 21, 2010 10:47:19 PM)
Okay. *she smiles some to him, before glancing off to the side and back again*
