Will accept character sheets

[heirtothedragonsfire]

A multiversal plane is not an every day occurrence. Aliens, zombies, sentient robots... they're not a familiar sight either. Despite all of this, Isidor Briar Durant strides into this unfamiliar territory chin up, tailored suit, heels clicking against the ground, as if she owns the place. Viatorus follows nervously behind her, offering her answers whenever the smallest spark of confusion appears in her eyes as she scans area. She takes her time about putting names and terms to the things around her. It is important. She needs to be more than just informed about the Nexus, she needs to be familiar with it.

And then, when she decides she's ready, her intense examination changes with a blink. Isidor clasps her hands together and smiles, becoming the picture of a friendly stranger. "Hello. This is an exciting place, isn't it? Full of interesting people, I'm certain. I'd very much like to get to know you. Your name, a little bit about you and where you come from, maybe."

Which is why she's trying to practice these things with him. Mostly that. A little bit that she likes making him blush, he's so cute when he does that.

"I wouldn't know," she admits after a quiet moment of thought. She could admit why, but having to say out loud that neither of her parents actually like her is kind of pathetic. "Mom never bothered much with Christmas after that time when I was four and she took me to see the 'Santa Claus' at the mall. I was me, he wasn't Santa, I don't know what she expected would happen." That, at least, can be an amusing story. "So we'll have to make our own Jül hugging traditions."

It's like his grandparents' probable view of their friendship!

They can both dance around the topic of a childhood without loving parents, swinging each other around to help each other avoid it. "Oh." She gets a sympathetic little smile. "That must not have been fun. But our own Yule could be." There's that twitch of his mouth as he starts thinking about it. "With... lots of hugging and nobody pretending to be anyone else. And tea. And cinnamon rolls."

With hair like hers, how could she be anything else?

Is that why they both took so many dance lessons? Good to know. She'd be willing to face it someday. Just... not today. Not in public, with his sister lurking around nearby.

The smile is answered with a smile, hers a little wider. His smiles do make her so happy. "I make excellent cinnamon rolls. Do you want me to get up early and hide presents under the tree for you? Well, not too early, you've probably got some fancy family party for that, too, huh?"

The fancy braids help. A little.

They'll face a lot of things together. In their own time.

Another small smile, this time apologetic. "I do. Sorry. But that should be in the evening. I'll probably have all morning and afternoon free..." His gaze slips away as he starts imagining it. "I could come around early and we could exchange presents and have cakes and then we could find the snowiest place in the Nexus and make snowmen."

Only until she rocks up with a Dutch braid faux hawk.

"Don't be sorry that you have a family, darling. Not everyone's that lucky." She doesn't have to like his family to be jealous he's always got someone at his back. "That all sounds really nice. Just about perfect. And I will make sure you get all of that and anything else you think of between now and then. But right now, you need to get back to Isidor before she comes looking for you."

Yeah that might be pushing it.

It brings a wide smile to his face to hear her agreeing with him, to think that she likes the little fantasy as much as he does. A smile bright enough so that it doesn't even vanish when Verity brings him back to present. Instead, he nods. "You're right."

Then he takes a step back, fingers coming together to pull at each other absently. "I'll talk to you soon. And congratulations. For finding Loki." He bobs his head in another nod, waves and skitters off happily.
