Where: Eli's apartment in the 9's
When: Early evening, 6ish
Warnings: Cute

Going down a floor was hardly trouble, especially for family. A realization that made Honey Skye skip a jiff as she moved toward Eli's new apartment.

The way she rememberd him, Eli had been so sweet.

Not that she knew him very well. He'd been been barely a teenager when they first met and that had been during an away trip with Xander to visit his family for Thanksgiving. That weekend had been punctuated in her memory fondly as one of those moments she knew how much in love Xander was with her - bringing her along for a family weekend? Sneaking out at night. Kissing when no one was looking. Eating Turkey sandwiches after they'd [Xander and her] fucked like only two teenagers can. It has been wonderful.

So it was with a happy heart that she knocked upon his door, hammer in hand and a bright smile on her face.

"Oh yes....an Aries." She knew that but she hadn't really consulted the star charts. Honey wasn't one that put that much stock in superstition. Although his assessment of her personality seemed pretty dead on.

"Ok. Let's go." Honey set down the hammer. She could get it later and she didn't want to have to go up a floor to her apartment to leave it. Pie was calling her name. She had enough cash to treat him in the pocket of her dress which she patter before turning to him.

"What is your celestial calling card?" she asked him, stepping over to the door.

"Me? Oh, I'm a Pisces," Eli replied. "The ruling planet is Neptune," he said as he opened the door for Honey - he was polite! And had been taught manners, of course. "So basically, we're sort of the lost souls, and we want to feel connected to the world and other people. We're compassionate and kind and intuitive, but prone to escapism."

He stuck his hands in his pockets as they went on down the hallway. "I don't know why I like the zodiac signs so much. They're all just really interesting to me. Stairs or elevator down?"

	"Elevator." She said lazily. Nine flights was an eternity when pie was waiting at the diner. "So you feel lonely?" She didn't understand it really. "Well, we're going to get pie...don't TRY to escape." She pressed the button down. Luckily it gave a ding and opened wide for them. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

He nodded, stepping into the elevator. The horror stories seemed to be unfounded for him so far, which was fine. "Sometimes I am," Eli admitted. Although sometimes was more like 'all the time.' "But I'm hoping to change that. Moving out will help with it, I think."

There were no stops on the way so they emerged into the lobby when the doors opened for them. "If there's pie, there will be no escaping," he promised with a smile. "What's your favorite kind?"

"It does take effort to have friends." Honey said, not wanting to burst any bubble but it wasn't something one could just wish for. "I think you'll do just great.' How was that for support?

For a moment, when the door opened she imagined the elevator stopping and they becoming trapped for hours while the firemen thought of ways to rescue them. Maybe that would have been more interesting than pie but not as delicious.

"Cherry." She said without hesitation. "It takes someone special to make a cherry pie something special. What about you? Most men like blueberry. I don't know why."

"Wise words, Honey Skye," Eli chuckled as they emerged into the lobby. he went ahead to get the front door for her, holding it like a true gentleman. And because she was all prettied up in a dress and heels and thus deserved five-star treatment, even from a peon like him. "How do you make cherry pie special?" Did she put crack in it? "My favorite's actually Dutch apple, so I'll break the stereotype for you."

"Well look at you." Honey Skye purred, lacing her arm with his, after they'd moved out from inside and entered into the great wide world. "So full of surprises."

"The same way Mozart makes music devine. Just the right blend of marvelous and wonderful. You'll see." She told him, squeezing his arm fondly.

"By the way. What's the difference between dutch apple and just apple?" She looked over at him with a question in her eyes.

He blushed, of course, as if Eli would ever do anything different when given attention from a Highly Attractive Women, especially this one. "The right blend of marvelous and wonderful? I believe you," he grinned. Oh yes, because Honey could do anything - she could hammer something perfectly and churn out a fantastic cherry pie all in the same day!

"I think the difference is the crust and the topping. Dutch apple has those crumbly things on top," he explained importantly. "That's why I like it better than regular apple." He also liked pumpkin pie too. And strawberry rhubarb. Really, any kind of pie was fine in Eli's book.

Mayeb Eli was thinking what a blushing good time he was having but Honey thought she was being boring. Which was something Honey hated to admit feeling. I mean come ON...pie? COFFEE? She might as well be some soccer mom bullshitter in a minivan.

But she really wanted the pie. She really, really wanted it. Maybe even two wedges to satiate her implorable craving.

"Oh? The toppings." She said, as if he was telling her about the most interesting topic in the world. Seriously! She didn't know. Dutch apple pie might as well have been greek pie for all she knew.

"Sorry I am so pie eyes." She giggled, "Pardon my pun. But, since I got here all I've wanted to do is eat and fuck around." There was no apology there. He was an adult now and she was tired of being so prissy ALL the time. She needed a freind who she could swear with and be something other than Zeus's charming arm candy. "I've turned into a bum."

"Eat and fuck around?" Eli repeated, laughing a little. He may be virginal and sweet but words were just that, words, and he probably had a bit of a potty mouth when the situation called for it. "Nothing wrong with that," he said cheerfully. "I'm always up for both. Um!" Did that sound awkward? He hoped not. "Well, you know what I mean. We should do something totally random. Like...skydiving." He had never been but throwing yourself out a plane was sure to be fun, right?

	"No. Why would it sound awkward?" She asked him, still clinging to his arm like a granny on a botscout- expect with much better legs. "Skydiving?" She said, thinking about it but then crumpling up her features a little insecurely. "You think I could pull off skydiving?" Not that she expected an answer. She knew she could. "Have you ever GONE skydiving before?" (Reply to this) (Parent)
