WHO: Princess & Ariel
WHAT: Unpacking Ariel's things
WHERE: Ariel's new set of rooms, Northeast London
WARNINGS: Possibly.

Ariel had to be grateful for his newfound powers; he had simply waved his furniture into place in his new rooms, saving his back and his time. However, he insisted on going through his boxes bit by bit. And for that, he needed an extra pair of hands. He dialed his mobile, wondering if Marietta might pick up.

	Princess picked up the phone when it rang, grinning when she saw the caller ID. She'd been reading in the window seat in her room at the Winchester house, but speaking with Ariel was much more pleasing. "Hello, il mio amato. I was hoping you'd call. How are you?" (Reply to this)

	"Fine, fine. Back in London." Ariel smiled. It was still a delight to hear her voice; it felt like young love all over again. "I wondered if you might not object to helping me unpack a bit. I can show you my new rooms." He knew she'd been fond of the old ones, but they were long gone, unfortunately. This new set of rooms was lovely. (Reply to this)

	"I'd like that very much. Will you come fetch me? My box self and I will both come to help." She knew that he'd never seen her box self, but the six extra hands would surely come in handy. (Reply to this)

	"All right; I'll pop in momentarily." Ariel smiled. "Shall I wait a moment, or are you ready?" (Reply to this)

	italianpuzzle 2011-11-19 05:47 am UTC (link)
	"I'm ready." She held her box self in her free hand, smiling to herself. She was wearing a cream colored whisp of a dress and her feet were bare, but she was ready. (Reply to this)

	"I'll be there momentarily." This definitely had some pluses. Ariel hung up the phone, closing his eyes and popping into Marietta's room. He landed, smiling and opening his eyes to see her standing there. "Hello, my dear." (Reply to this)

	italianpuzzle 2011-11-19 05:54 am UTC (link)
	Smiling, she blushed when she saw him. "Hello." Offering him her free hand, she squeezed his before closing her eyes again. She loved his hands - they were soft but firm - and his presence alone made her blush. (Reply to this)

	defectedfromgod 2011-11-19 06:01 am UTC (link)
	He kissed her hand, still smiling. "How are you? You look well." She looked wonderful, actually. "What have you been doing?" (Reply to this)

	italianpuzzle 2011-11-19 06:09 am UTC (link)
	"I was reading," she murmured, her eyes still shut. Within a moment, she felt the curious pull of Ariel's teleportation, curling her toes against the hardwood of his new floor. (Reply to this)

	defectedfromgod 2011-11-19 06:20 am UTC (link)
	"You can open your eyes, you know." Ariel watched her, hoping she'd like it. He'd set up the furniture much the way he'd had it in his old place, though he'd allowed a bit more color to creep in this time. His furniture was still mostly dark wood, but he'd gotten new linens - soft and smooth, in a royal blue that somehow calmed him. (Reply to this)

	Slowly she did, smiling when she saw his room. "It's beautiful, Ariel!" She set her box self down on a dresser. It rocked back and forth, affirming what her flesh self had already said. (Reply to this)

	defectedfromgod 2011-11-19 07:02 am UTC (link)
	Ariel blinked when the box expressed its approval, and he laughed. "I'm pleased you both like it." He hadn't shown her the important part yet. "I thought you might like to help set up more of the personal touches." Dishes, photographs and that sort of stuff. Books they had picked up on their trip to Egypt (a lifetime ago!) (Reply to this)

	italianpuzzle 2011-11-19 07:09 am UTC (link)
	She smiled and leaned over to kiss him gently, smiling at his laughter. She was fairly sure that he didn't do it often enough. Letting it linger for a moment, she smiled when she turned to a box and opening it. His books she'd enjoy putting away; she was familiar with how he liked his books organized. (Reply to this)

	defectedfromgod 2011-11-19 07:32 am UTC (link)
	Mm. Ariel smiled, lingering a a bit himself, wrapping one arm around her trim waist. "Thank you," he said. "The work will go faster with more hands, and plus, I thought you might enjoy some of the memories." He had books, yes, but also notes, sketches, generally things she might enjoy looking through. He very much enjoyed how quick and hungry her mind was. (Reply to this)

	His arm around her waist was always nice, and she sighed into his mouth, content just to be around him. Her box self was moving about, putting away a few books while her flesh self got snogged. (Reply to this)

	defectedfromgod 2011-11-19 07:57 am UTC (link)
	It was a bit odd to realize the box was still moving around, still happy and nonplussed by their kissing, but Ariel was mostly amused by it. "What have you been doing lately? Have you seen your friends at all? Or have you been staying at home?" (Reply to this)

	italianpuzzle 2011-11-19 08:11 am UTC (link)
	"Don't mind me," she grinned, nodding at the box. "It's like my subconscious in ways, always working even when I'm thinking of something else. And I've been mostly staying inside, catching up on things that happened while I was gone. I'm too much of a shutin, I fear." She heard no end of it from Danielle and Annorah. (Reply to this)

	"I am the last person to complain about that, you know." Ariel smiled. Well, it had been the truth when he was human. "Some people choose to have their own company more often than others." Though he was obviously glad he seemed to be an exception to her solitude. (Reply to this)

	italianpuzzle 2011-11-20 02:54 am UTC (link)
	"There aren't enough words to express how much I enjoy your company," she smiled. Her arms went around his waist yet again, and she kissed his neck. (Reply to this)

	defectedfromgod 2011-11-20 03:22 am UTC (link)
	Ariel sighed, pleased. "I would like to introduce you to Gabriel and Michael at some point. I think you might like them." Later, though. Much later. For now he just wanted to get reacquainted. It still felt a little strange, that this wasn't Ikuko. But he's never say that to Marietta. (Reply to this)

	italianpuzzle 2011-11-20 03:26 am UTC (link)
	"I think I'd like that, I've heard stories." She smiled and sat down near a box, sorting through it and smiling at him. "I'm sorry you lost Miss Ikuko, I know you love her." (Reply to this)

	defectedfromgod 2011-11-20 03:39 am UTC (link)
	Ariel looked down at her, face falling. "Marietta." He shook his head, kneeling next to her. "By God, I cared for you too. That's not ... I don't want you to get the wrong idea." (Reply to this)

	italianpuzzle 2011-11-20 03:55 am UTC (link)
	She blinked. "Ariel, you've enough room in your heart to care for both her and me. Losing her isn't something that I'd expect to be easy simply because I'm here, and vice versa." She looked down at him, blinking her ruby eyes in confusion. (Reply to this)

	defectedfromgod 2011-11-20 04:47 am UTC (link)
	To be honest, he hadn't expected her to say that, and he probably looked it. "I find it confusing beyond belief that we ... that there ..." Ariel visibly stopped himself and started again. "I was brought up to believe there was one true love for me. It feels like betrayal of you, of Ikuko and Helena to think I could sort of have you all." (Reply to this)

	italianpuzzle 2011-11-20 04:51 am UTC (link)
	"Having us all at the same time, perhaps." She smiled and bowed her head. "Not in the same room. But I know that in my absence, I'm glad someone took care of you. I'm glad that you have love in your heart. I don't think that love is a bad thing. But Papa was a bit different than most men of his time, and after that I lived with pirates. I'm a bit different, I suppose." (Reply to this)
