Do you have a moment?

[ Locked to Kitty Pryde. ]

Hey... we need to talk. [ Wow that sounds scary, let's defuse that. ] It's work related.

	It's a shame they're going about it the way they do... this way, the ones that really do need help won't reach out for it. It's a humiliating experience when it should be anything but that. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	That's if they know they need help to begin with. [Do people usually recognize that kind of thing?] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	That's the other problem. [ Sigh. ] Hey, Yuuki... I'm not a therapist, but if you know someone who needs to talk..? [ Like you? Maybe? ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Oh... of course! I'll direct them to you right away, Dr. Reid.

[Did you see how she used doctor this time?? Context yeah.]

There's someone I'd like to think it would benefit, but... [Sigh] I doubt he'd talk. Getting him to talk to even me can be like pulling teeth sometimes. [It's frustrating.]

Somehow, though... he seems to be doing all right, lately. [It's weird. She's happy for him, but in a way she feels... a little useless, too. She's used to helping him. When he doesn't need it she's not sure what to do with herself. She shrugs a little and smiles.]

Actually he prefers to stay here in Marina, now. So... I'm not sure what to say about that, either.

	Who is it? I can't make any promises but getting people to talk is kind of part of my job description. [ Wow that sounds shady. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Zero Kiryuu. Thanks to.... my family he's been through a lot, but. [A breath and a nod] He's a really good person. [Despite recent rumors. The incident with the tree isn't a good reflection of him.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2013-11-30 07:26 pm UTC (link)
	Zero Kiryuu? The guy that did the lecture on vampires in Sam's class? [ Yeah, he's familiar. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	trappedinresin 2013-11-30 07:34 pm UTC (link)
	Mm! [A nod...and then a pause] Just so you know... I'm not so sure how to feel about the lecture by the man who owns the bar. Or-- the demonstration. [She... wasn't and isn't his biggest fan.] But Zero did hold a lecture for Sam. It was a little one-sided, but he's grown to not...dislike vampires as much anymore. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2013-11-30 09:57 pm UTC (link)
	Yeah, that... I was hoping that it'd foster some human-vampire communication, since there are so many questions on that topic. I didn't expect him to do what he did though. [ This isn't show and tell .] I liked what Zero had to say. He seemed very knowledgable. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	trappedinresin 2013-11-30 10:06 pm UTC (link)
	Mm. [Zero would be. She nods.] He's in line to be the next Hunter President. At least... after he graduates. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2013-12-02 02:57 pm UTC (link)
	And how does that work out for you two? [ Doesn't seem like a coupling without complications. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Well... it doesn't. Not really. Not at home, anyway.[Though they had started to work together... until the memory incident.]

To be honest, we used to live together. We were really good friends. [Opening up a little? On her own?] My adoptive father took him in after the death of his parents, but he never wanted to be considered family for some reason.

[She tried to pull the sister card on many occasions.]

Back then he didn't know what I really was. When I was little there was a spell done that sealed me within a human body. Even I didn't know, because the spell also erases the memories of the person that it's done to.

[A smile and shrug]

Anyway, his family was slaughtered by a pureblood. He already came from a family of vampire hunters, so after that... [A second shrug. It probably speaks for itself, right?]

When he found out that I was a pureblood... You can probably guess how he took it. We didn't see each other again for a year since I was forced to leave and hide. And after various promises I hadn't really expected a friendly reunion.

[ . . . All the people she knows promise to kill her orz ]

But after... [A little quieter] After my brother left my adoptive father had me arrested as a person of interest. It was due to my relationship to my brother, after all... and because I was a witness to something.

[A glance up to Reid.] I think he really arrested me because he was worried though. Although maybe he didn't have much choice... it isn't against the law to hold a vampire indefinitely, even without a reason. Anyway, [More importantly] I'm supposed to be under the watch of the Hunter's Association at home and not allowed to do anything without being heavily monitored.

[Though heavily restricted she still had more freedom than normal, probably because of her relationship to the current standing president.]

Anyway! I ran away. I want to find my brother and stop him from some of the things he is doing, because I don't agree with the methods that the association wants to employ. Zero ended up following me, and although I told him to leave me alone and that he had duties to the association, he decided that our goals were in alignment. So somehow we've become allies again at home.

[ He listens quietly, filing away what she's telling him with the rest of the information he has on her but most of all he just listens. Like a friend, because that's what they are now as proven by how much she's opened up to him lately. It feels pretty good, like he's doing something right. Like he's making a little bit of a difference. A small smile lingers on his lips throughout, growing or fading in intensity depending on where in the story she is. ]

And how has it been here? This place can... well, I'm sure you know.

Well putting aside the tree incident...

[ Korra still hates him for that ] We're doing well. There aren't the same stresses and expectations from home, so... [A faint smile. Is she really allowed to be happy about something like this?]

So we're moving forward as just Yuuki and Zero. Not as the future president of the hunter's society or a pureblood princess. Just as us.

	[ He's still asking himself that. Is it okay to be happy about being stuck? ] It's kind of nice, isn't it? It's so easy to think of this place as an obstacle, but... in some ways, it provides some unique possibilities. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	trappedinresin 2013-12-06 03:38 am UTC (link)
	Mm... I should try to enjoy the time left. [There wont be time to enjoy once back home, after all.] Although I feel frustrated with the wardens constantly, I am very glad for my friends and second chances. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2013-12-07 11:13 am UTC (link)
	[ He's quiet for a short moment, contemplating whether he should open up a bit on his own. ] I don't know about you, but... the longer I stay here, the less certain I am about whether I want to leave. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[Quiet for a moment as she thoughtfully considers his words. For some it's become a common theme. For her, she's unsure how to feel.

With a faint smile, she tilts her head.]

Have you found someone that you don't want to leave?

[That's usually the case, isn't it? As far as she knows, although it's dangerous, he is passionate about his job at home, after all. He has friends there as well. So...?]

	thisiscalm 2013-12-07 08:36 pm UTC (link)
	Yeah... I guess I have. [ Sheepish little smile. He figured this was common knowledge by now, but okay. ] You, uhm... you know about me and Kitty, right? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	trappedinresin 2013-12-07 08:49 pm UTC (link)
	Mm, well I don't like to assume or pry too much, but I think everyone knows. [A smile of her own.] You two look really cute together. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2013-12-07 09:16 pm UTC (link)
	Thank you. [ Wow, so shy all of a sudden. Shy and happy. ] She's a great girl. I, uhm. I've never had a girlfriend before. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	trappedinresin 2013-12-07 09:20 pm UTC (link)
	Then Kitty's a pretty lucky girl! [It's sweet to find a person who hasn't dated everyone and their mother, honestly.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2013-12-07 09:54 pm UTC (link)
	[ Even when they're 30? ] I try... I mean, she deserves the best. I'm just lucky that she wants to be with me. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	trappedinresin 2013-12-07 10:00 pm UTC (link)
	[Ah... 30 years old. So young by vampire standards.] Why? You're smart, look young and care about others. You're both involved with law, too. [A pause...] Even if it's in different ways... (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2013-12-07 10:21 pm UTC (link)
	[ Don't make him blush! ] That's another thing about this place! I keep hearing what a catch I'm supposed to be... that never happened back home. The people here are... different, somehow. [ Another reason why he doesn't want to go. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
