natalie godfrey, the red baron

WHO: Natalie, Conrad, and Natalie's parents.
WHEN: 18th of August, evening
WHERE: Natalie's apartment
WHAT: Meeting the parents, oooooooh

In the kitchenette, the chicken in the oven was roasting and Natalie's wine glass on the bench was only half empty. She was smiling at Conrad through in the living room and said, "you look great."

Soon her parents were going to be here. She hadn't seen her folks for years because, even as a pilot, London was far and time off was sparse. This would be the first time they'd seen her in America as well, the country that she'd come to make her own over the last decade. They'd refused to let her greet her at the airport, instead wanting to retire back to their hotel after the flight and then meet her for dinner. Natalie had made sure to make the apartment spotless.

So this scene of him meeting her parents was basically the last one. (there was another more recent one with ghosts but it only has three comments and i don't quite remember the whole deal with the ghosts thing, i think everyone was seeing them??)

I just reread the one after he'd crashed the plane and she thought he was dead, then she came over and made him shower and stuff and then was all- hang on, lemme find the bit!

Natalie wanted to growl and yell at him, but she knew if she'd taken down a plane of passengers she'd have been impossible to shift from bed. (Hell, she'd probably have thrown herself off a building and never let anyone convince her it wasn't her fault.) But, dammit, she knew in that case that Con wouldn't have give up trying to get through to her. So Natalie wouldn't stop either.

So instead Natalie unbuckled her own belt with determination and then yanked down the top of her jeans just enough to remind him of the tattoo there. "Manfred," she said, repeating that freaking amazing name because it was his, because those words etched into her flesh were his. "Read it. You read it and don't you dare tell me that it's not true anymore."

Natalie leaned forward and pressed her forehead against his. "'To the last beat of the heart'," Natalie whispered, eyes closed. "Mine beats for you."

Natalie was doing exactly what he would have for her in a time of need, he would have been persistent and reminding her of how to keep going. His eyes had yet to meet hers when she peeled down the jeans on her hip far enough for him to read those words.

His fingers drifted against the skin, soft and feathery, taking in each word. It made his eyes sting. He felt his heart pump again, actually skipping a beat at her last words. It was perhaps the most affectionate thing Natalie had ever spoken to him. His breath caught in his throat, forehead against hers, eyes closing.

I DIE.

Which is to say, yes, I am totally going to play Natalie again. Having read all her scenes again, I can feel her voice returning.

	Yeah, I think when we'd left them they were just about talking about moving in together, so maybe that should be what we do with them next? She can move into his place :) I don't wanna jump them ahead from where they were too much! (Reply to this) (Parent)
