Between you and me...
Who: Kami and Naea
What: Naea's bringing tools to save the day! And... girl chat ensues.
Where: #607
When: 10/20/10
Warnings: Nothing as of yet. We'll keep you updated.

Naea moved down the hall, her little green toolbox in hand. She'd decided a while ago while living by herself that it would be wise to pick one up, just for small around-the-house stuff. Now that Kami was in need of a hammer and a hand, it made her feel good to dust it off a little.

And now that she was on her own, again, she had a feeling it would be used a bit more often. Somehow, Naea managed to compile the loss of her father and the disappearance of David into one big ball of shit mourning. Mainly because she wasn't sure how to deal with either.

Taking a deep breath, she knocks on Kami's door quietly and waits patiently for her new friend to open up.

"Never in a million years." Kami drew back a bit to better study Linnaea's face and then she smiled faintly. Whatever she had been looking for was starting to appear and her shoulders relaxed. She sat back a tiny bit and introduced bare inches of personal space between them again. Her hand remained idly on the other woman's back. "It's not your fault that he's a jerk," she pointed out.

"Though, you know, this could actually be good. No, don't. I mean it." She wrinkled her nose, free hand coming up to silence any protest Linnaea could make. "Once you get everything sorted out with the landlord, you can move on and just... Well, be good to yourself. Stupid as it might sound." Kami gave a crooked, reassuring smile. "I'm a glass is half full kinda gal," she added with a faint laugh.

"Believe me, Kami." Another drink. Her lips were starting to go numb. "I want nothing more than to just be happy for a while. Even if it's just me making myself that way. Men can be pretty worthless at times. And make you feel that way, too." She wrinkled her nose and threw back the rest of the tequila. It burned magical fire on the way down and made her exhale slowly. Naea was starting to lean a little to the left.

"Glass half-full. Heh." She half-smiled and sighed. "There are some days. Hey, it could be worse. I could have married the fucker and had one and a half kids by now." Frowning at the bottom of her glass, Naea sighs and glances over at Kami with a sheepish lopsided grin, holding her glass up. "I'm sorry. I'm a cheap date. Give me another drink and five minutes and I'll start talking about unicorns shitting glitter."

There was about a three second pause as Kami tried to greet such a statement with the same solemn seriousness that discussion of David had contained but, at a slight eyebrow wiggle from Naea, she collapsed in giggles. Trying to stifle the explosion of noise, she twisted abruptly and buried her face in a nearby pillow. Long moments passed, broken only by a wildly waving hand at one point as Kami tried to signal that her new friend should just hold on and she would be calm again.

When the calm finally came, Kami emerged from the pillow with pink cheeks and shining eyes. "I'm so so sorry," she apologized breathlessly. "It's just... Unicorns shitting glitter?" She grinned. "Naea, honey, you're such a poet."

"Yeah, shitting glitter." Naea shrugged, but didn't seem all that amused with what she had said. "I used it as an analogy as to what love could be like when I was drunk once. Blackberry brandy." She missed Pierce. He'd helped her through a lot of the David bullshit, and in turn, she'd helped him finally make the push to reunite with the love of his life. The description was much funnier then, even though the night was shit. "I helped someone get back together with his wife." It just happened to be the same night her father died.

"Anyway," she sighed with half a smile. "I should probably go. The last thing you want me to do is sit here and get even more drunk on my own, I'm sure. And bitch about boys."

Kami immediately sobered and took Naea's empty glass from her gently, setting it on the low coffee table. Then she settled herself back on the couch and faced the other woman. Reaching out again, she took one of Naea's hands and squeezed. "It's okay. You can stay if you want. Drink, don't drink, I don't care," she reassured her. She offered a quirky, crooked grin. "Do you want me to drink, too? I can do that but I warn you... You'll probably find out too much about me and boys."

Kami rolled her eyes expressively. "Ugh, boys," she repeated. "But, well... Know that my door is open for you, okay? Just knock or leave a note."

Naea smiled with a sigh. "I appreciate that but I really should head back down the hall. I have some packing to do, I think." She stood up, feeling the warmth go all the way to her toes. She was a lightweight, if nothing else. "I appreciate everything, Kami. Remind me to bake you a cake to thank you. Just... not tonight."

She began stepping towards the door, vaguely remembering to pick up her small toolbox. "We'll have to drink another night when I'm a little bit happier, yeah?"

Kami appeared almost magically fast at the other woman's side, one hand resting gentle at the small of her back for balance. "Or you can just come over to dinner some time, okay?" she suggested. "I like company and I think you'll need some." She smiled as they reached the door and she opened it. Then she gave Naea a warm side-hug, briefly touching their heads together affectionately. "At least for a little while until everyone realizes that you're a fabulous lady with free time now. Then I'll have to schedule appointments with you."

She released Naea then and watched intently as she walked through the door before following to lazily drape herself in the doorway. It was clear to anyone sober that she was going to make sure her new friend made the walk to her own apartment safe and sound. "Good night and sleep sweetly."

	Naea smirked gently. "Appointments. Sure. G'night, Kami." She tottered down the hallway, only doing so because of the counterbalance provided by her toolbox. It wasn't that it was terribly heavy, just that tequila worked really fast on her small frame and untrained liver. Linnaea practically fell into her apartment, but gently, and kicked the door closed behind her. (Reply to this) (Parent)
