Roleplay![]
- Kara: Kara sat by the pier at the beach, rocking her daughter softly. "Aren't the waves beautiful, Nata?" She murmered, holding the baby close.
- Nata: Nata remained uncharacteristically quiet, scanning the scene with her dark blue eyes, watching in wonder. Looking down, the red and white checkered blanket caught her vision. Gently, she reached for it.
- Kara: She smiled. "Alright, little one. Here you go." Carefully, she set her daughter down on the blanket. Turning around, she began to unpack the basket she had brought with her. "Maybe it'll be lunchtime soon... ah, there's your sweater. Let me know if you get cold, ok?"
- Rhys: There's nothing better to do on a particularly chilly day than to go down to the pier and enjoy the temperature. He liked the warmth of New York, but he also enjoyed when it was cool, much like today; he found it absolutely refreshing. Not wanting to spend the day inside the cabin like many of his half-siblings, he was just stepping foot into the beach area. His toes dug into the sand, he inhaled that ocean breeze, and - yes, it still felt like home.
- Nata: Tugging the blanket, a figure in the corner of Nata's vision caught her attention. Looking over, she waved her arms in Rhys's general direction. He looked nice. Maybe Mama would like him.
- Kara: Noticing Nata's motions, Kara looked up and noticed the man standing a little while a way. Smiling, she gave a wave. "Making even more friends, huh? We're going to have some time teaching you stranger danger when you get older."
- Rhys: Rhys is so immersed in the view of the beach and his own thoughts, he initially fails to notice Kara and Kata in the general vicinity. It isn't until Kara begins to speak that he becomes re-attuned with reality. As his curiosity is piqued, he looks around, and smiles at the baby he sees staring at him, waving back.
- Kara: Kara waved at the man in response. "Want a sandwich?" She called. "This kid seems to think you're trustworthy, and we have extras."
- Rhys: He's taken aback by the offer. He doesn't know who she is, nor does she know who she is, but the trust of a baby merits sandwiches? Eventually, he smiles kindly and begins walking towards them. "Who am I to argue with a baby?" It's the free food that did it. He might not admit it, but it was. "I'm Rhys, son of Poseidon."
- Kara: "Kara Rudikoff, daughter of Hera. And this little one -" Kara indicated the baby, who was chewing on the blanket - "is Natasha, but she goes by Nata."
- Nata: Natasha looked up at her name, and grinned cheerfully, dropping the blanket. "Aaaaplm." She flapped her arms happily.
- Rhys: He's visibly surprised upon finding out her godly heritage. It's a little obvious he's confused as to how that might be, given he was under the impression she was a virgin goddess, but was mindful about boundaries and didn't touch up on it. Instead, he devotes his attention to the little baby she's holding and grins. He crouches where he is, some six, maybe eight feet away; again, all out of respect. "Hi, Nata! How are you, kid? Enjoying that blanket?"
- Kara: Kara smiles gently. "Don't worry. Most people are surprised she has any kids at all. But she can get very upset with Zeus, and... give in to impulses." She gently held Nata's arm and helped her wave. "You can come closer if you want. Promise we won't bite, although she might try to gum on your shirt if you're unlucky."
- Nata: Nata gave a big, toothless smile and began to crawl over to Rhys, stopping after a couple of feet to chew on a new piece of blanket.
- Rhys: "Makes sense." Rhys nods, understanding Hera's perspective, but not quite agreeing with it. Fighting fire with fire? Really? Just when he thought gods couldn't care less about their children. His expectations were already low, but damn. Knowing Kara doesn't mind if he approaches Nata a little closer, he takes another two careful steps towards Nata. "Do you want to see something, kid?" He looks over his shoulder to gauge how far the water is. After a moment's consideration, he lifts a hand, telekinetically controlling a long stream of water to swirl around him, Kara and Nata without getting either of the women wet.
- Nata: Nata giggled and clapped. "Aahaha!"
- Kara: Kata smiled. "Let me guess... Poseidon? Or maybe Kym? Ooh, or Palaemon."
OOC Comments[]
Gaby: Hey! Sorry about the delay! I was studying for finals, but I just took my last one, so I should be able to post more consistently now. :)
Floppy: No worries! I'm a little slow to reply myself these days with everything going on, but I'll do my best to least look daily.
