darius summers, ophelia

Who: Ophelia and Darius
Where: Ophelia's hospital, out and about, maybe
When: afternoon
What: consuming hot chocolate
Warnings: doubtful. Cuteness may be lethal.

Darius bounced through the halls, glad to be seeing Ophelia again. He had a thermos full of hot chocolate, and had another surprise for her that he hoped she would like.

The nurse at the station smiled at him, and he greeted her by name. Darius was good at remembering names and faces.

He walked in a more dignified manner when he got to Ophelia's hallway, and tapped on her door frame before poking his head in. "Hey!"

	He held her hand and led her out of the room. "Do we need to check out or anything? Or do you know?" He didn't want the hospital staff to worry about her. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"I am...not sure. But we shall ask." There was a form for Darius to fill out and sign, but after that, Ophelia was free to go. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Darius filled the paperwork out, his handwriting neat and precise. Then he offered his arm to Ophelia, and led her out into the street. It was fairly quiet, being the middle of the day, but there were still some people wandering around. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Ophelia took his arm, glad he seemed so solid. She felt she needed him to be her anchor. "The buildings are so much different than they are back home." Somehow, they don't look as sturdy--it seems by their looks that they'll come right down. She looked around herself, quite unmindful of being looked at as if she were a tourist.

	"Yeah. The big tall ones are sky scrapers. The smaller ones are mostly just office buildings." He smiled at her, leading her past a row of cars parked on meters. This was one of the nicer parts of New York. "Do you remember where you live?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Do they really scrape the sky?" Ophelia has little sense of science and perhaps scraping the sky might not be the best thing for the sky... She gave him an address of a place in a fairly nice part of New York City. It was very near the flower shop. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"No. It's a way to get peole excited about them, back when they first came out." He thought for a moment. "Let's head toward your house, so you can see it. Along the way, I'll explain a little about the world as we know it these days." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	love_remember 2008-11-19 08:54 pm UTC (link)
	She looked up. People had to get excited about buildings so tall? How extraordinary. "That sounds like a good scheme. Lead on," she said. There was so much to see here! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	dasummers 2008-11-20 10:01 am UTC (link)
	He smiled and explained the world, and the atmosphere, and how weather happens. He had quite like Earth Sciences as a kid, so he knew a lot about them. It was a very pleasant trip to Ganieda's home. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Ophelia listened in wonder. He seemed to know so very much! Soon, it felt like her head was spinning, but in a pleasant way. She smiled over at him. "How do you know so much, then?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"I was taught in school. In this time, most people go to school for a big chunk of their lives, to learn about the world and how to respond to it." He shrugged, smiling a little shyly. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Oh." Ophelia took a moment to think about this. "Even the girls?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	dasummers 2008-11-21 08:45 pm UTC (link)
	"Yep. The girls even tend to do better than the boys, because they're better at paying attention." Not always, but usually. "Girls are equal to boys in most ways, here. Not all ways, by a long shot, but most." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	love_remember 2008-11-21 08:53 pm UTC (link)
	"Oh," she says again. "That may take some getting used to." She's actually a little worried about it. She's done very few things in life without a man--either father or brother--speaking for her. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"You'll do fine. You just have to be open to adjusting." He stroked her knuckles and led her up to the door of her home. "Do you have a key?" Oops. That was important. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	love_remember 2008-11-23 04:54 pm UTC (link)
	Ophelia nodded, and took a key out of her pocket, looking at it curiously. "It's a rather odd key, but Mrs. Torres said it would open the door here." It was a townhouse, though Ophelia had no way of knowing that. "I haven't been here before," she said, looking up. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	dasummers 2008-11-24 01:12 am UTC (link)
	He got the key, and showed her how to do it. He held the door for her, smiling brightly. "After you, ma'am." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Ophelia smiled at him and entered the home. "I have never been inside a house in this world. It is very different," she said quietly, turning around to look at her surroundings.

To one side of her there was a stair case, and in the middle of the entryway there was a table with a vase of flowers. Straight ahead there was a dining room, and to her left there was a entryway to the living room.

She bunched her hand in her skirts. It was so much space and for only her.

"I feel so small."

	"Nope. Not small at all." He followed after, looking around. "We should look around, if you want to." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"I...I suppose I should...after all, I will be living here..." She wandered into a space with a lot of sofas and couches. "It seems such a lot of space for just one person," she said softly. "Are most houses in this time so large?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	dasummers 2008-11-24 09:36 am UTC (link)
	"Um? I'm not sure. I haven't seen a lot of normal homes. I lived in a very large house, but I have a very large family." He touched her arm gently. "You'll be alright. Maybe you could get a dog?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	love_remember 2008-11-24 09:45 am UTC (link)
	"It must be pleasant to have a large family," Ophelia said. She would not know what that is like, though she did have her brother. Or used to have. She smiled at him brightly at the mention of a dog. "Perhaps. I've seen small dogs I think would be very dear to have. I am afraid I would be very lonely all by myself." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	dasummers 2008-11-24 09:46 am UTC (link)
	"It is. I had a really good life back home, even if I complain about it." His life here wasn't bad either. The mention of a small dog made him smile. "Then I know what I'm going to get you when you move out of the hospital." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	love_remember 2008-11-24 09:50 am UTC (link)
	She blushed. "You are a very dear man," she said. She looked around a little more. "Maybe I will be all right after all." It certainly wouldn't be a bad place to live. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	dasummers 2008-11-24 09:56 am UTC (link)
	He smiled, bowing theatrically. "Thank you, Ophelia." He winked when he looked up. "A woman as brilliant and brave as you will find your place here." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
