Who: Elle Bishop and Richard Sanders
When: Tonight
Where: Picking her up at her place and then who knows
What: Her freaking out a little about being a kid
Warnings: Maybe some cursing?

Waking up in her normal body, back to her normal self, Elle was trying not to freak out too bad. She remembered being a nine year old kid who had made the electricity go out, and played games and stayed with Claude. Then had been rescued by Sylar and hugged him and got fed ice cream by him and Peter. Beyond weird and messed up and she didn't know how to react. At all. So she had paced around a lot.

Richard was coming to get her, which was good. It would be nice to see a face that hadn't seen her when she was a little kid. And he was nice, which meant she was probably going to end up seriously messing him up, because really who could trust her? She couldn't even trust herself. So she waited, not knowing what the heck was going to happen, but worrying. And trying not to freak out.

	He nodded hesitantly. "Yes, I thought that it might cheer you up." Which was why it had taken him so long to come over, really. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Pulling out the little toy, she smiled. It was cute, really cute. "Aw, that's so sweet, Richard. Thank you." It did make her feel better to know that someone cared. She leaned in and kissed his cheek. "It's very cute, thank you." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Richard couldn't help the blush that accompanied the kiss to his cheek. IT wasn't as if he was terribly experienced with girls. "You are welcome. Would you care to join me for dinner or something else? Whatever you'd like." Because coming into her apartment would probably be presumptuous and rude. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Elle put the little trinket up on the shelf before coming back to him. She nodded, sticking her hands in her back pockets. "Sure dinner sounds good. Anything for a distraction." which she desperately needed. Being nine had messed with her mind. "I'm up for whatever." her shoulders shrugged. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Then I think I know where we could go." A small Italian restaurant he'd found that was a few blocks from the hotel -- he rather liked it, if only because the people there actually spoke Italian. Richard smiled, offering her his arm. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Then you can lead the way," especially since she didn't know where the heck they were going. She put her arm through his, realizing this was another first for her and then let him lead the way out of her apartment. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	He smiled lightly and nodded, leading them the short distance to the restaurant and greeting the woman at the door warmly -- she kissed his cheek and he laughed, shaking his head. She also asked about Elle, but he merely tugged her off to a corner. She could make fun of him later. "Rosa is very sweet, but also very nosy," he offered by way of explanation.

	Elle didn't know half of what was being said, so she just kind of smiled and stayed out of the way. But the woman at the door had amused her, making Richard blush like that. "Nosy? Oh, did she ask about me?" She went and sat down at the table, finally letting his arm go. "What did you tell her?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	figliodelpadre 2008-11-15 11:36 pm UTC (link)
	"I did not tell her anything." He glanced to Elle, hesitating. He didn't think it was polite to ask what they were, either. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	conductive 2008-11-15 11:50 pm UTC (link)
	"Okay then.." she wasn't quite sure what that meant, but hey whatever. It was nice that he hadn't made something up. She picked up the menu and started to figure out what she wanted. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	figliodelpadre 2008-11-15 11:53 pm UTC (link)
	Ah, awkward. He glanced down at his own menu, biting his lip and then flagging the waitress over once Elle seemed to be ready. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	conductive 2008-11-16 12:17 am UTC (link)
	Glancing up at him only once or twice over the menu while they tried to figure out what to eat. "So.. what happened with your dad?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	figliodelpadre 2008-11-16 12:18 am UTC (link)
	He shrugged slightly. "I guess ... he was back way before he met our family. When he was living his 'first life' or what have you." Which was ... odd to say. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	conductive 2008-11-16 12:44 am UTC (link)
	"His first life? He's.. had more then one?" she raised an eyebrow. She hadn't actually asked about him before. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	figliodelpadre 2008-11-16 12:53 am UTC (link)
	Oh, crap. "You know, like ... when someone has one family younger in life and another later on in life?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	conductive 2008-11-16 01:56 pm UTC (link)
	Elle ah'd a bit, knowingly. "Right, no I know what you mean. So he was a bigger jerk back then then he is now? Cause it seems like you don't really like him." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	figliodelpadre 2008-11-16 03:15 pm UTC (link)
	"I would not pretend to know what he was before he met my mother, but the fact remains that he left her, along with my brother and myself, to be raised alone after he decided he did not want children." Yeah, he definitely didn't like Adam much. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	conductive 2008-11-16 03:41 pm UTC (link)
	She blinked a little, "He just left you guys? Wow.. that's harsh. My.. mom died when I was little. And my dad, well he's dead now too but.. everyone keeps telling me he didn't do a lot of .. good things to me. It sucks having lame parents, huh?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	figliodelpadre 2008-11-16 04:02 pm UTC (link)
	"My mother is wonderful, but she -- could not stop things from happening after my father left." And he did sound upset about that even now. Not that he could really remember much. He flashed Elle a slight smile. "But I should not talk of such depressing things right now. I am sorry about your parents." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"It's all right. It sucks all around. Let's just change the subject." she gave a small smile and then put her menu down on the table and waited for the waiter to come back.

"So uh." but she couldn't think of anything to say. "I'm sorry, I just.. it's not so much that I'm freaked out that I was a kid? It's just that people were. Nice to me. That shouldn't have been.. I dunno, it's just weird."

	figliodelpadre 2008-11-16 05:32 pm UTC (link)
	Richard furrowed his brows at her words, but nodded. He flagged the waiter back so that they could order, but while they were on the topic of it ... "I do not think that it should be weird, having people be nice to you. You are, after all, a very pretty girl. And you have been nice to me. What reason would they have to be rude?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	conductive 2008-11-16 07:00 pm UTC (link)
	She licked her lips a little, "I've been nice to you? I dunno. I've been nice so far. I'm not very nice to other people. Them. I've done.. bad things." Her eyes flickered back up to him. "Very bad things. To the people who took care of me. So I guess I'm not sure why they were nice." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	figliodelpadre 2008-11-16 07:03 pm UTC (link)
	He glanced to the side. Trying to kill his dad probably ranked pretty high on the 'bad things' list, and being in the military ... "Well, I do not see why that should matter so much." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	conductive 2008-11-16 07:15 pm UTC (link)
	"Trust me, it's just bad and weird. I guess they thought I was harmless as a little kid. I don't know. Would you want to help out a kid who tried to kill you or lock you up?" she asked. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	figliodelpadre 2008-11-16 07:29 pm UTC (link)
	"I do not know. The fact that you were just a child probably motivated them to not want to hurt you." Children could get away with things that adults couldn't. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
