RP: Morningtime stroll
Who: Pandora and OPEN OPEN OPEN

What: Pandora goes for a stroll

Where: Monument Alley Park

When: Wednesday morning, 24 September 2014

Rating: NSFW – language in her thoughts.

Pandora cradled a cup of salvation aka her hot and tasty coffee in her hands as she walked through the park in Monument Alley. Fall was definitely starting to make itself known, especially on mornings like this. She had a little while before she needed to be at Inside and Out, though, and she preferred to spend that time here many mornings instead of her shitty little flat. No amount of charms had made it livable to her standards she’d formed growing up.

She steered her thoughts firmly away from that before her mood completely soured. The last thing she needed before having to deal with Aunty M was a mood that was already bad.

She went all the way to the wishing well, sipping at her coffee and trying to soak in the calm before the day began. Calm always seemed so alien to her anymore. But she could pretend to be normal, and sometimes she even succeeded.

Though when other people appeared in the park, Pandora wondered if she’d be able to do it today or not.

"Muggleborn," he said by way of explanation, "My parents and I fled when I was 17. So yeah, almost ten years now." He hadn't realized it had been so long and his features softened for just a moment.

No wondered he felt Boston was an easier city - he'd not been in London since he was a child. He sighed, silently, not really a sigh at all but more of a small exhale of breath, and then looked back at her with a small, tight smile, "You know, I should probably, actually be going." He had the feeling he could wile away the entire morning with Dora, and he didn't know why, but there was something he liked about her, something in her manner he appreciated. "Thank you, though, Dora," he said, holding out a hand to kiss hers lightly - not smarmily or sarcastically, just politely - "It really was a pleasure to meet you. Once I'm settled in, I hope I'll see you again," and he meant it.

Waving slightly, he headed off in the opposite direction that she'd indicated, his hands in pockets until he turned to give her one last smile and a small wave. It wasn't in his nature to care if people thought he was being rude - Christopher knew he was a total dick, there was no question - but that didn't mean he wanted a young woman to think he was blowing her off even when she'd been perfectly nice to him. There had just been something, just then, that had tugged at him - something about missing home and not knowing which home he missed - that had made him walk away with his head in the clouds and hopefully she'd understand.

"Ahh," she said with a nod. There was an instant of struggle deep in her - conditioning against her natural response. Her natural response won, and she smiled slightly. "That would do it."

She blinked whrn he suddenly switched around, saying he needed to go. For one moment, she wondered what she'd done wrong. But then he reached for her hand and she relaxed again, at least a bit, and gave it to him. She blinked up ay him again when he kissed it, surprised yet again. Outside of the very traditional circles, she'd not been treated thus in a long time. She automatically dipped into a slight curtsy, behavior taught to her in childhood showing through. "Oh. Okay then," she said, finding her mental footing again. "I'll see you around. Do come back some time."
