Charlene Langlois (Dec 28, 2010 5:52:22 AM)
[Shall we go with it being morning, afternoon or evening?]

Andy Nichols (Dec 28, 2010 5:52:57 AM)
((I'd say afternoon. Andy's not one for late night business.))

Andy Nichols (Dec 28, 2010 5:54:23 AM)
*Andy, funked of a sort, finally tools up in his jeep and hops out. Hoodied and twirling his white braid around his fingers, finally gets to the steps and then turns around as if debating whether or not to knock, before finally knocking hesitantly.*

Charlene Langlois (Dec 28, 2010 5:55:21 AM)
When Andy arrived he was greeted by a barking Bongo, Charlenes fathers dog who was quite old, its muzzle greyed. He woofed and then turned back around trotting off toward the open gate which led to the backyard, glancing backward a couple times to see if Andy followed.

Andy Nichols (Dec 28, 2010 5:56:52 AM)
*grimaces, finally following the dog* Good god...

Charlene Langlois (Dec 28, 2010 5:59:39 AM)
As Andy moved through the gate he could see Charlene a small ways away, the kinfolk planting greenery in the dug out dirt bed she'd made that followed the fence all the way around the backyard. She'd gotten halfway, most of the plants being shrubbery but there was quite a large group sitting on a table nearby that had yet to be placed in the dirt.

Andy Nichols (Dec 28, 2010 6:02:23 AM)
*chews his inner cheek* Hey...Char. *grabbing one and looking, finally deciding to plant one*

Charlene Langlois (Dec 28, 2010 6:03:42 AM)
The kinfolk turned around as Bongo brushed up against her while passing Charlene. "Bongo, youre going to push me ov..." Her pale blue eyes slowly moving upward as she noticed Andy there. Giving the garou a large smile, she rose, pulling off her soiled gloves and tossing them upon the table before moving to hug him. "Andy! How are you? Good to see you."

Andy Nichols (Dec 28, 2010 6:04:20 AM)
*tensely returns the hug* Thanks...Planting roots...?

Charlene Langlois (Dec 28, 2010 6:06:10 AM)
Chuckling, she glanced a moment at her handy work before replying. "Evergreens and hollys mostly. Beautiful arent they? I figure since my father isn

Charlene Langlois (Dec 28, 2010 6:06:51 AM)
t coming back anytime soon, Id do a little re-arranging." Looking him over, the kinfolk paused, her happy expression slowly fading a bit. "Whats wrong?"

Andy Nichols (Dec 28, 2010 6:08:51 AM)
Sorry. I didn't mean to bring you down. *quietly attending to the plant* I just...it's like the whole world decided to...I dunno. The whole thing just went to hell in a space of two days.

Charlene Langlois (Dec 28, 2010 6:11:34 AM)
Absently, she placed a hand upon his shoulder, letting him finish planting the shrub before asking him anything. Once Andy stood, Charlene led him away and toward the house. "Come on, lets go inside and have some sun-tea or something. I made some yesterday morning." Guiding Andy into the kitchen through the sliding glass doors and toward the stools that sat along the edge of the counter. "Are you hungry?"

Andy Nichols (Dec 28, 2010 6:13:59 AM)
*shakes his head* Nah...ate.

Charlene Langlois (Dec 28, 2010 6:14:47 AM)
She was a new person, vibrant and full of life. Her complexion, though still pale, was not that pasty greyish color any longer and the kinfolk appeared to have gained some weight. Everything about her seemed changed, all accept Charlenes nature. That had remained steadfast and true to the considerate, kind woman she'd been raised to be. "So.. what happened? Do you feel like talking?" Pouring them both some cold sun tea and handing him his glass.

Andy Nichols (Dec 28, 2010 6:15:25 AM)
*smiling* Maybe in a minute. You had a good Time Saturday?

Charlene Langlois (Dec 28, 2010 6:17:49 AM)
Looking somewhat guilty, Charlene chuckled as she slipped onto one of the stools to sit, her tea in hand. "I actually just stayed home with Bongo. I was hoping my father would come home but.. " Giving a small shrug as she looked away briefly, sipping her beverage and then setting it aside. "What about you? How was your Christmas?"

Andy Nichols (Dec 28, 2010 6:22:10 AM)
*glances down* Yeah. Sorry we...missed you. It was good, I hada few gifts, and then...*spreads his hands* it all went out the window. Serenity...can't...be my mate. Yet. Or something. Spent the last couple days trying to find meaning in it.

Andy Nichols (Dec 28, 2010 6:23:56 AM)
And to top it all off, Megan and Lacie have decided that they hate each other. I'll admit, I'm...hiding a little bit from the fearsome women. *there's a weak laugh*

Charlene Langlois (Dec 28, 2010 6:23:58 AM)
Charlenes brow furrowed. "What do you mean? Why?" Pausing a moment before realizing she was asking something quite personal. "I.. you dont have to answer that. It just... well I asked because it doesnt make sense to me."

Andy Nichols (Dec 28, 2010 6:25:30 AM)
It's...tribal. I can't interfere.

Charlene Langlois (Dec 28, 2010 6:26:24 AM)
Charlene likely would have chuckled except for the fact the kinfolk was more fixated on the first thing Andy had brought to her attention, the wheels in her brain working in attempts to think of reasons why it would be the two could not be together. "Tribal? Im not sure I follow. Is she not a child of gaia? Are the two of you not inlove? I dont see how anything could stop you."

Andy Nichols (Dec 28, 2010 6:27:08 AM)
*lifts an eyebrow* Nope...she's actually born and raised of the Fianna.

Charlene Langlois (Dec 28, 2010 6:30:02 AM)
"Oh I didn't know that but.." Picking up her glass, Charlene subtly suggested Andy do the same, she took another healthy gulp of the sweet sun-tea. "..why does it matter? I mean isnt love more important? Why now would they try to keep you both apart when its been known for some time the two of you had some attachment?"

Andy Nichols (Dec 28, 2010 6:32:16 AM)
*fiddles with the glass a bit before sipping* It's...I don't think it's so much the people here as the people from her home - Chicago. Serenity's mom made a promise awhile ago to make sure Serenity had a Fianna heir.

Andy Nichols (Dec 28, 2010 6:32:40 AM)
Like I said. Tribal.

Charlene Langlois (Dec 28, 2010 6:34:55 AM)
"So.. is it final? I mean...will they not change their mind? She is her own woman. How can they dictate how she should live her life?" The kinfolk still quite new to this entire idea of others having any say in ones private life.

Andy Nichols (Dec 28, 2010 6:37:20 AM)
I don't know, entirely. But...it is possible for tribes to hold their kinfolk to have children with specific members of a tribe. Usually it's only done in instances where there's...a specific line that needs to be carried on. Some tribes pretty much eschew the idea entirely.

Andy Nichols (Dec 28, 2010 6:38:35 AM)
They might change their mind later on, but...she probably has to have a proper Fianna kid first.

Charlene Langlois (Dec 28, 2010 6:40:45 AM)
"Is she to go back to Chicago? I.. I mean if theyre there and shes here... " Shaking her head a moment before her gaze fixed on Andy. "Im sorry, Andy. I wish there was something I could do for you both. Perhaps I could relay any messages to her if you arent allowed to speak with her or..?" Finishing off the tea in her glass, Charlene set it aside.

Andy Nichols (Dec 28, 2010 6:41:06 AM)
No, she's...allowed to retain her place here.

Andy Nichols (Dec 28, 2010 6:41:53 AM)
I mean, she's got a good business, I'm still her employee.

Charlene Langlois (Dec 28, 2010 6:44:35 AM)
The kinfolk nodded, watching him with obvious concern. "What will you do if she is to mate with another? I cant imagine.." Charlene reached over and lightly took hold of his hand, giving it a friendly squeeze. "I think things will work out. Somehow it will all work out for you both." Giving him a reassuring smile.

Andy Nichols (Dec 28, 2010 6:45:44 AM)
*a shrug* I don't have to take a mate.

Charlene Langlois (Dec 28, 2010 6:46:04 AM)
[Not you. Her lol]

Andy Nichols (Dec 28, 2010 6:48:23 AM)
(( :P ))

Andy Nichols (Dec 28, 2010 6:50:21 AM)
If she mates with another...what can I really do, except pray for her happiness, really? Y'know?

Charlene Langlois (Dec 28, 2010 6:51:58 AM)
Charlene looked past Andy, watching the dog come in from outside, plopping his old furry body on the little piece of carpet that he always used to sleep upon. "I wouldn't worry. I think everything will work out. You deserve your happiness." That smile of hers broad and genuine. "Youve spoken to one another about it? You are still talking right? Not fighting."

Andy Nichols (Dec 28, 2010 6:54:04 AM)
*laughs softly* Sometimes talking and fighting - well, at this point what's left?

Charlene Langlois (Dec 28, 2010 6:56:12 AM)
Another squeeze and she let go of his hand. "Plenty. Plenty my friend." Charlene rose off the stool, gathering her empty glass up and moving toward the fridge to pour herself another but not before checking to see if Andy needed more, which he did not since he'd barely touched his tea. "Children, aging, travel, building memories..plenty."

Andy Nichols (Dec 28, 2010 6:58:57 AM)
*sipping* There'll be time enough for that. If not this life, then the next.

Charlene Langlois (Dec 28, 2010 7:02:00 AM)
"Oh it'll happen for you and Serenity, Andy. I have faith." Closing the fridge, Charlene remained close to it, leaning against the counter instead of returning to her seat. "So did you need a place to crash? Youre welcome to stay in my old room. Im sleeping in the master bedroom now with him gone. Least you could avoid the PMS going on at your packhouse right?" Chuckling a moment.

Andy Nichols (Dec 28, 2010 7:03:11 AM)
*there's a little hand spread* Someone's always on the rag in my house.

Andy Nichols (Dec 28, 2010 7:07:01 AM)
But thank you. I do hope you'll stop by the house soon. we've got a present or two for you.

Charlene Langlois (Dec 28, 2010 7:07:32 AM)
The kinfolk turned red in the face with laughter at Andys reply, nodding in agreement. "Yes, I suppose youre right but I guess that happens in every packhouse since I would imagine they all house females." Charlene pushed off the counter and strolled toward the dog, crouching to pet him. "Do many of the kinfolk mind being told what to do and who they can be or not be with? I mean, I couldnt live that way. I would defy anyone if they told me I could not be with the one I loved if I should ever find it one day."

Andy Nichols (Dec 28, 2010 7:11:11 AM)
Some mind, some don't. And there's...y'know. Different moon phases, different packmates feel the pull. Serenity...doesn't like it, but she accepts that some needs are more pressing then her joy.

Charlene Langlois (Dec 28, 2010 7:14:36 AM)
"Joy should be something everyone has in their life. Its something we all deserve. I would never harm anyone to get it but if it was a simple matter of people keeping me away from another because they disapproved, and the reason was something trivial like keeping a bloodline pure, I would fight for it." Scratching behind Bongos ears. [And I have to go to bed. Its 2:14am >_<]

Andy Nichols (Dec 28, 2010 7:15:12 AM)
Some things...aer not so trivial. *smiles* I should go.

Charlene Langlois (Dec 28, 2010 7:16:08 AM)
"You be sure to come back if you need a safe haven away from the PMSing yes?" Taking his glass from him to place in the sink before walking Andy through the house to the front door. "You know you are always welcome."

Andy Nichols (Dec 28, 2010 7:16:53 AM)
*there's a light smile* Of course. Thank you

Charlene Langlois (Dec 28, 2010 7:17:32 AM)
[Good night! *hugs*]

Andy Nichols (Dec 28, 2010 7:17:38 AM)
