Who: Bran and Gabby
What: Visiting, introductions, and awkward fun
Where: 1106
When: The day after this, at 2 {timelines confuse me}
Warnings: Who knows

Bran's initial plan was to be out when Gabrielle or Gabby or whatever the hell she wanted to be called stopped by, but he had the feeling she was the type to persist until she got what she wanted. So he had two choices: either get the visit over with now on his own terms, or prolong it to the point where he ended up being dragged to her apartment. Neither struck him as overly desirable, but if he had to choose then the first was the lesser evil.

He had on jeans and a black t-shirt, refusing to get overdressed or whatever it was that people did when meeting their neighbors for the first time. If he had it his way she would only be in his apartment for half an hour at the most, but it would probably end up being less. He knew how to be a bad conversation partner just as much as he knew how to be a good one, and he'd use every skill available if she became unbearable.

The knock at his door made him roll his eyes, but he wasn't about to pull a five year old 'hide under the covers until the knocking stops', so he headed to the door and pulled it open with a practiced smile. "Gabrielle, right?"

Oh boy! Making new friends! Gabby loved making new friends, especially those of the male persuasion. While she waited for her new best friend to come to the door, she idly played with the amulet around her neck, the one she had invoked protection of mind and body and matta on - matta, meaning loving kindness. Things were getting increasingly strange in the building so she had been reading her religious textbooks more and more, with all of the talk of the full moon. Maybe she could make a friend and get more information about the planet she had landed on. She figured that anyone with a name like Bran had to be tall, dark, and handsome and rather raven-like, and when he opened the door she was not disappointed.

"That would be me," she said cheerfully, eyes taking in the sight of manhunk. "Goodness, Raven, aren't you just a gorgeous, gorgeous man? I bet you get told that a lot though." In one hand she balanced a white box, filled with cupcakes she had baked. "Can I come in?"

The amulet was the first thing he noticed, since most people didn't walk around wearing things like that. She'd said something in her introduction post about Buddhism, hadn't she? His knowledge of religions were non-existent but clearly this woman was the furthest thing from the typical image of a little old monk. It took a mere second for him to size her up, yet even during such a short time frame he noted that sure, she was pretty - but she definitely didn't have a verbal filter. That could get annoying.

Bran raised his eyebrows, hoping that Raven wasn't going to become a permanent nickname. "Not as often as you seem to think," he said wryly, gaze dropping to the white box before he stepped back to let her in. "Of course. It'd be horribly rude of me if I left you standing out in the hallway." He'd reluctantly spent the morning cleaning his apartment to make it presentable, since it was usually in a perpetual state of disarray that only made sense to him.
