229 - Heatwave mingle
[ It's a sweltering hot day under the sea! Luckily the wardens have provided the necessary means to keep cool: whether you're sunbathing at the beach, sniping your fellow inmates with a fully loaded super soaker or just cooling off under a tree with a cold treat, this is the place to do it! ]

(( ooc: Mingle away! You are of course encouraged to make your own posts and mingles for this event, should you want to! Event information can be found over HERE! ))

	[ elena has long since put on a cover-up over her bikini as the temperatures began to drop. she's tired, the kind of tired she hasn't experienced in awhile and is now enjoying. the kind of tired after a pretty good day. she's looking out onto the water, leaning back on the sand. she looks to helen curiously. ] You were in Egypt?

	[ she nods, eventually sinking to the sand nearby to gaze out at the water. ] Many times. That one was in 1917. Once you've spent that long in the desert, you tend to build up an immunity to heat. [ that and she was sure nikola would have teased her mercilessly later in their lives if she'd given any indication that she was at all tiring. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[ elena blinks with some surprise - not over the year itself because of course she's had suspicions, especially after nikola had told her... maybe those suspicions haven't been wrong? she looks out to the sea for a beat. ] You know, Nikola told me there was this woman he knew - that she was immortal. [ the words are purposefully chosen. she's looking to helen for confirmation. ]

[ helen gives a soft snort of laughter and shakes her head with an amused smile. it isn't egotistical that she immediately thinks he was talking about her. they were old friends who knew each other very well. who else would nikola mean but her? ]

I'm hardly immortal. I can die. [ the universe just hasn't seen fit to let her yet. ] I simply have longevity, extended life. Which is why I could spend five years in the Egyptian desert without worrying about wasting my time. Or Nikola's.

	[ so that mystery's solved. suddenly elena has a face for the woman nikola told her about - some of background and explanation for helen's place in his life, and helen herself. they performed those experiments together. ] He came with you? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Indeed he did. We were searching for King Tut's tomb in our more carefree days. [ sort of. it was after her place in the first world war and she'd needed a distraction from life and james being so shell-shocked. when the opportunity had presented itself, she'd leapt. of course, returning from that venture in 1922 had been met with worse problems, but they'd overcome those as well. ]

Not many people would have enjoyed being stuck with me for five years, but we did quite well with each other.

	[ elena tries to envision helen and nikola on a carefree expedition to find king tut's tomb - it's a welcome, slightly amusing one. but there is one thing she doesn't quite believe - ] I doubt many people wouldn't enjoy your company. [ she smiles, nods in concession. ] Even Nikola. [ they both know he can be fussy. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ she gives elena a warm, amused smile in return. ] He is rather picky, isn't he? [ which makes the fact that he's loved her for over a century rather impressive. ] And you haven't seen me when the pressure is on. [ totally teasing now. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	matter 2013-09-11 02:22 pm UTC (link)
	[ picky, but definitely a good friend. elena cares about him, misses him sometimes too. ] So did you find it? [ king tut, she means. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Us? Oh no. [ she laughs softly, leaning back on her arms. ] Someone else beat us to it and we decided to give up. What's the point in looking for something that's already been found? (Reply to this) (Parent)
