Too bad the odors from the recent renovations were interfering with her enjoyment of the smells of an imminent Turkey! dinner. A real, homemade Turkey dinner, not a frozen, microwaved Hungry Man Turkey Dinner but a real bird, real potatoes, real herbs and spices. It made her salivate just to smell it. It suddenly just didn't matter that she was going to be sharing this meal with total strangers. She could be little miss manners if that meant getting some of this wonderful feast. She resolved to find a quiet corner out of the way of everyone until dinner was ready. Afterwards, if they decided they didn't like me, I could call Oilcan, or hitch a ride, or call a taxi... except I hadn't thought to bring any money with me. I had a sudden moment of panic wondering how I would get home if Oilcan was out on a tow. Then forced myself to relax. I could always walk to a gas station and use the ATM. For once, there was enough money in the bank that I could afford the luxury of a taxi. At least until my electronics order came in...

I shrugged.
"I... I don't know. But... Nami, I've always been more affected than most people by Crossings. What if that gets even worse now?" I shifted. "Or, what if it doesn't change at all..." That might almost be worse - because it would mean that I'd had this thing all along, somewhere in me. And for some reason, that scared me. "The possibility that I might be more than just the average Otherborn's always been real... and for some reason, it's... always scared me."
Why was I pouring all this out at her? It wasn't as if she needed to know, wasn't as if she had any business knowing.
I guessed that it was payback. I'd stolen so many of her thoughts, it was only fair that she hear mine.

Angel just nod to Mercy, "Want me to put the cookies where they go?"

All I can do is listen, listen and feel helpless, "I... I don't know... This is some heavy stuff for Thanksgiving."

I laughed. She was right.
"True, I suppose. Still, maybe I can be thankful that at least something will give me a little insight into what to expect from you; it can be hard for a Boss to keep up with someone whose thoughts change about every five minutes."

"I... They... What are you saying?" I rush, yet say deliberately. "Am I too much for you to handle, Sir?" Am I... Flirting? All well, too late to take it back now.

I grinned. "Not anymore," I said back, teasing.

"My mind," I smirk and then continue. "Is not an open book, if I wish, I shall just refuse to think of anything helpful... Just to spite you, oh wise head."

I grinned. "Can't be guarded all the time," was my only response, called back over my shoulder as I walked into the kitchen to grab more food. As disturbed as I was by this new development, maybe, just maybe, it wasn't all that bad.

And I, rather childishly and hopefully no one sees but him, stick my tongue out after him, "Nnnnn!"

I arrived in the kitchen with Darla holding my hand. "Well, looks like you two made up huh?"

Noctis knew that he was late as he approached the door. Very late, but hopefully not too late. He sighed deeply at how long his task for Izaya had kept him busy, he just hoped that the others wouldn't be too mad at him. Finally reaching the door, he knocked upon its wooden surface even as he stuffed his balaclava from earlier into his coat pocket.

Angel darts from where he stands andjust as Noctis finishes knocking he opens the door, "Good evening... I take it you're Noctis then?"

(Nami)
Jumping I flush a little and nod, "Uh-huh... I'm just... Gonna help set up now." And I quickly move to grab a dish and race it back out, flushing feriously.

(Dar)
I couldn't tell if I was smirking after my cousin or smiling, "Yeah... Really looks like the two of you made up, Neku... Finally kiss her then?"

Noctis nods in greeting to Angel when the other man opened the door. "Yeah, sorry I'm late. Some things I needed to do took a little longer than I thought they would." He explained in the hopes that it would excuse his temporary absence.

Angel nods and just says simply, "Don't worry... We haven't even started dinner yet... You're just on time."

"Since everything seems to be settled...Darla, let's head to the table and wait for everyone else to join us." I took her hand and procedded to the table. ((Sorry Namine, I was busy with my folks and couldn't respond!))
