*is leaning against the back end of the clunky Dodge* You'll want to drive your groceries home. I can follow in the truck, if that works.
Kaia Skaare (Aug 19, 2010 12:07:58 AM)
::she nods:: Yes, see you there! ::she grins to him and hops in the Jeep with a little hop, revving the engine and pulling out, as she heads about 2 streets over... and then at the faaaaaar end of the street, she pulled into the driveway. The house was neat and tidy, not too big, but the land it was on was relatively expansive as she parked in the driveway. Single-story, little garden out front. Blown, colorful glass spheres, and other ornaments hung from a magnolia tree, one softly ringing windchime.. managing to be musical, rather than just noisy. A very large workshop seemed to be in the back, behind the gate::
Kaia Skaare (Aug 19, 2010 12:11:04 AM)
::Neighbors' yards are easily at least 700 yards from the very edges of her yard, there's a pool and a small deck, and only visible through the open gate at the end of her drive. She hopped out and grabbed her groceries in one hand, moving to the front door to move her keys in, leaving it open for him, when he was ready to come in::
Kaia Skaare (Aug 19, 2010 12:12:20 AM)
(think 8-foot wooden gate, blocking the driveway, pool, deck, but the front of the house is accessible from the street)
Lukas Vangelis (Aug 19, 2010 12:17:51 AM)
*follows her up after a bit, looking around..and pausing by the tree to touch one of the glass baubles lightly, setting it swaying lightly with a brush of his fingers* Nice place. *toeing off the sneakers as he reaches the porch, leaving them behind and cleaning his bare feet perfunctorily on the mat before he walks inside*
Lukas Vangelis (Aug 19, 2010 12:18:55 AM)
((Scene's picking up, gonna be a smidge slow. SOrry!))
Kaia Skaare (Aug 19, 2010 12:23:13 AM)
::the glass balls are very light, and clean, colors swirling in the glass. She had moved past inside, the house was clean, with a slightly lived-in look. Making her way to the open kitchen, she opened up the windows after setting down the groceries, and putting them again. She was barefoot, already having kicked off her sandals. The front room was comfortable, couches and a coffee table, littered with stacks of magazines, order forms, and sketchbooks.... a few more sketchbooks on the kitchen table, with pencils. The place appeared to have a couple of bathrooms and a few bedrooms, the main bedroom the furthest from the front door. Lots of windows, lots of lights and skylights. The closest bedroom appeared to be an office, large desks, a few chairs, and sketches and pictures on the wall, laid out. Drawing supplies, samples, and art supplies all over. Neatly... but just -looooots- of them. She began to put away the groceries:: Thank you... I like it.
Lukas Vangelis (Aug 19, 2010 12:29:49 AM)
*he tilts his head, flipping through a few of the topmost magazines and sketches piled about the place idly, glancing about and lingering in the livingroom* What sort of art do you do? Exactly..? *curiousity winning out*
Kaia Skaare (Aug 19, 2010 12:36:34 AM)
Glass and metalwork... ::the magazines are art magazines, supplies catalogues, one or two fashion mags, and one foodie magazine. A few nature books, and a book on weather.:: My workshop is out back. ::getting things away, before she looks to him:: Would... you like dinner? ::there is a large plate of cookies, appears to be the rest of the snickerdoodles on the kitchen table::
Lukas Vangelis (Aug 19, 2010 12:50:38 AM)
*he opens his mouth to answer, then shuts it and turns and hooks his thumbs in the beltloops on his shorts, dark eyes watching her* You don't have to offer that. I'm not expecting anything other than cooperation really.
Kaia Skaare (Aug 19, 2010 12:57:52 AM)
Okay. Well. -I'm- making dinner, for myself. I can make some for you as well. But, suit yourself.. ::she shrugs a shoulder, and she's pulling out a couple of steaks from the fridge, and some salad things::
Lukas Vangelis (Aug 19, 2010 1:00:45 AM)
I've known some Kin that understood the word "Guardian" in the same fashion the average black man understood "Master" about a thousand years ago. Truth be told, I'm more interested in what you can teach me. I..don't get to spend a lot of time around the city folk. *wry* Can't say I finished High School.. you get the idea.
Kaia Skaare (Aug 19, 2010 1:03:19 AM)
::she nods to him:: There are some kin who believe it. I do not. ::she heats a grill pan and puts it on the stove, letting it heat as she puts together some salad fixins'. She tilts her head, as she tears lettuce with rapid fingers:: What... are you seeking to learn? I was pre-med... before I got my degree in art. I am not... a ditzy artist, in case that concern crossed your mind.
Lukas Vangelis (Aug 19, 2010 1:04:58 AM)
Not really. I talked to ya for long enough to figure out you have a brain under that freaky hair. *grins, obviously teasing*
Kaia Skaare (Aug 19, 2010 1:06:23 AM)
::she rolls her eyes, before eyeing him, though there was a smirk on her lips, and her tone was still friendly:: I see... we've gone from Ms. Silver to Freaky hair... how quickly it degenerates. ::fingers finding a sharp knife, and she begins to cut vegetables rapidly, before putting the steaks on the grill pan, the searing meat scent floating through the air, to the open windows::
Kaia Skaare (Aug 19, 2010 1:06:30 AM)
You.. didn't answer.

Jasper Skiotis (Aug 19, 2010 1:07:30 AM)
*Would be picking up some things. This is, in fact, a neighborhood grocery, after all*
Kaia Skaare (Aug 19, 2010 1:08:45 AM)
::Kaia popped her basket on the little checkout counter, before realizing she forgot something else, and she moved back towards the shelves::
Lukas Vangelis (Aug 19, 2010 1:09:32 AM)
*is collecting the cash and tallies from the arcade games, crouched down in a white tank top and shorts with a pair of battered sneakers on his feet unlaced*
Kaia Skaare (Aug 19, 2010 1:10:58 AM)
::Kaia has on a calf-length halter dress, tied around her neck and flip flops, hauling her basket back, she veers down the area with a few spices, eyeing them curiously::
Jasper Skiotis (Aug 19, 2010 1:11:39 AM)
*Is in the produce section, squeezing tomatoes. Is wearing khakis and a violet button up shirt*
Kaia Skaare (Aug 19, 2010 1:17:15 AM)
Raisins.. ::speaking to herself, thickly accented voice as she moves towards the produce section, looking for raisins.. then bananas, picking up a bunch, before looking to Lukas:: How... often do you come here to do this?
Lukas Vangelis (Aug 19, 2010 1:19:12 AM)
'Bout once a week. *reaching into the machine to pull the little cartridge of rolled bills out* You planning to come back and visit each time? *smirking*
Jasper Skiotis (Aug 19, 2010 1:19:33 AM)
I'd be careful about the bananas. They seem squishy.
Jasper Skiotis (Aug 19, 2010 1:19:44 AM)
*Is looking at salad-in-a-bag*
Kaia Skaare (Aug 19, 2010 1:20:21 AM)
::she rolls her eyes:: No... but I'm here every few days... never saw you. ::she looks to Jasper and smiles, looking them over and putting the bunch back:: Thank you...
Jasper Skiotis (Aug 19, 2010 1:22:12 AM)
No problem. Unless you're making banana bread like my mother used to make.
Lukas Vangelis (Aug 19, 2010 1:23:39 AM)
*chuckles, rising to his feet* Yeah, well, it only takes me about 10 minutes to reset the machines and it takes you what..20 to shop? What are the odds those overlap?
Kaia Skaare (Aug 19, 2010 1:24:49 AM)
::she shrugs to Lukas, rolling her eyes a little, but she had a smile on her face:: Stranger things... ::she looks to Jasper:: No.. I'm doing oatmeal cookies to make ice cream sandwiches... ;:holding up her raisins::
Jasper Skiotis (Aug 19, 2010 1:27:23 AM)
Ahh. I'm just generically grocery shopping.
Lukas Vangelis (Aug 19, 2010 1:27:51 AM)
There are bananas in Oatmeal cookies?
Kaia Skaare (Aug 19, 2010 1:28:22 AM)
::she looks at Lukas again:: I was going to eat the bananas... not put them in the cookies. ::wrinkling her nose at the idea::
Jasper Skiotis (Aug 19, 2010 1:29:15 AM)
Not generally, unless you like bananas. A lot.
Kaia Skaare (Aug 19, 2010 1:29:41 AM)
::Kaia smiles to Jasper:: Not... that much. I think that would ruin the cookies. A tragedy....
Lukas Vangelis (Aug 19, 2010 1:30:16 AM)
Hey, what I know about baking would suggest I never turn the damn oven on.
Jasper Skiotis (Aug 19, 2010 1:30:52 AM)
You're the one who wanted to bake raisins in them. I consider that the tradegy.
Kaia Skaare (Aug 19, 2010 1:32:13 AM)
We are likely all safer in that respect...::teasing Luke, she looks to Jasper:: No raisins in oatmeal cookies?! Are you sure you've been eating the right kind of cookie? ::now teasing Jasper::
Jasper Skiotis (Aug 19, 2010 1:32:53 AM)
I'm fairly sure.
Lukas Vangelis (Aug 19, 2010 1:34:23 AM)
*nods his agreement, taking the coins, keys, and his ledger out to his truck* ()(afk here, sorry!))
Kaia Skaare (Aug 19, 2010 1:37:49 AM)
I'm not so certain... ::she smiles, and reaches for a couple of onions, popping them in a bag:: We'll have to see... ::she offers her hand:: Kaia... pleasure to meet you..
Jasper Skiotis (Aug 19, 2010 1:41:33 AM)
Jasper. *Takes her hand* The pleasure's mine.
Kaia Skaare (Aug 19, 2010 1:43:48 AM)
::she smiles, her accent thick, and foreign:: The heirloom tomatoes are better... than the ones you were touching earlier, by the way. Good with basil...
Jasper Skiotis (Aug 19, 2010 1:47:37 AM)
I'll be sure to consider that, thanks.
Jasper Skiotis (Aug 19, 2010 1:48:01 AM)
*Acutally does go over and replace his tomatoes* Not that the brother'll care, but it's a nice thought.
Kaia Skaare (Aug 19, 2010 1:48:16 AM)
::she nods:: Your brother? You are buying food for him?
Jasper Skiotis (Aug 19, 2010 1:51:38 AM)
More or less, considering he's my roommate.
Kaia Skaare (Aug 19, 2010 1:54:23 AM)
::she nods, smiling:: I hope he is cooking for you, if you are buying the groceries
Jasper Skiotis (Aug 19, 2010 1:55:37 AM)
He'd better consider it, at least.
Kaia Skaare (Aug 19, 2010 1:56:57 AM)
::she laughs softly, and shakes her head:: I hope that it works out for you... or at least have him do dishes...
Jasper Skiotis (Aug 19, 2010 1:58:56 AM)
I hope so as well.
Kaia Skaare (Aug 19, 2010 2:01:54 AM)
::she smiles:: At least you'll have good produce.. ::she starts to head off for the checkout counter, waving at Lukas, as she heads up, placing her things on the small counter::
Lukas Vangelis (Aug 19, 2010 2:09:08 AM)
((Sorry! back, I swear)) *appears at the door long enough to note the wave, then settles in a lean against the back of his truck to wait, rather than upset the cashier or customers more than he has to*
Jasper Skiotis (Aug 19, 2010 2:09:35 AM)
*Waves goodbye, going elsewhere in the store*
Jasper Skiotis (Aug 19, 2010 2:09:43 AM)
((Goodnight.))
Kaia Skaare (Aug 19, 2010 2:09:45 AM)
::paying in cash, and thanking the cashier by name, she grins and brings her things out::

(guess not)
Lukas Vangelis (Aug 19, 2010 2:15:25 AM)
Shit girl..I'll show you how to find them, we'll have to hit the beach sometime. Nothing's better than roasting them up in a fire on the sand.
Kaia Skaare (Aug 19, 2010 2:15:59 AM)
A cookout on the beach? ::she shakes her head:: I haven't done that before either...
Lukas Vangelis (Aug 19, 2010 2:17:30 AM)
Probably helps that these beaches aren't frozen over. Ahh.. we'll catch a pile of mussels, a couple fish..Make a real feast of it.
Kaia Skaare (Aug 19, 2010 2:18:10 AM)
::she smiles:: Maybe we can bring some corn... ::she nods:: It sounds like fun. Just tell me when...
Lukas Vangelis (Aug 19, 2010 2:19:38 AM)
*working his way through the feast in front of him* I can do that.
Kaia Skaare (Aug 19, 2010 2:20:58 AM)
::she nods, eating about half hers before she pushed her plate back::
Kaia Skaare (Aug 19, 2010 2:21:08 AM)
(I need bed, hun)
Lukas Vangelis (Aug 19, 2010 2:21:47 AM)
((Figured. Nini! Calling or crashing?))
Kaia Skaare (Aug 19, 2010 2:22:05 AM)
(if I call, it's for like, 5 minutes)
Lukas Vangelis (Aug 19, 2010 2:22:24 AM)
((Yeah right. If you want sleep, we shouldn't call. lol))
Kaia Skaare (Aug 19, 2010 2:22:44 AM)
