WHERE: The Pie Hole pie restaurant and bakeshop
WHEN: Thanksgiving Day, November 24 12pm-12am
WARNINGS: PG-13 at the most I would guess.

Feel free to come as late as you want, Ned will be here all night. Zatanna has magicked the place to be endlessly large so never fear, there's a place for you and yours!
FORMAT: quick/spam; make your own threads for your own people or table.
NO ONE IS EVER LATE!!!!!

[For most of the night, Ned will be shut away in the kitchen, but he's not completely rude so he'll be making the rounds...]

[Don't worry Julian, Sofia isn't worrying about where that kiss came from. She really enjoyed it. She's very happy standing there against him with her arms around him too.

So she might have almost missed his question.]


...yes, I was waiting for you to eat.

[ He doesn't actually make a single move to let her go. ]

I got held up.

I'm here now, let's find a table.
wind_dancer: ([action] smirk)

[She turns so that they can get the food and find a table but she stays tucked beside him. Since the madness, she's found an even stronger appreciation for Julian who didn't abandon her during it.]

What were you doing?

[personal profile] hellionated 2011-11-27 02:57 am (UTC)(link)
[ That's not the easiest question to answer. He keeps his arm around her, though. Keeping his distance isn't part of the plan today. ]

...I went to check out the Parade. It lasted about five seconds before some supervillain type sent it all to hell. You didn't hear?

No [Sofia shakes her head,] I had technology turned off for most of the day to relax.

Did you get hurt?
hellionated: (facestarecalm)

[personal profile] hellionated 2011-11-28 12:56 am (UTC)(link)
I'm fine. [ Which doesn't answer the question, but that doesn't matter. He's not talking about it. ]

You know how it is. Crowds and people being stupid. Kept me late. But I'm here now, so it's cool.

[ He slides into a booth and quickly orders drinks for them. ]

I am just glad you made it, it would not have felt like Thanksgiving without someone to share it with.
hellionated: (faceprofileworried)

[personal profile] hellionated 2011-11-28 08:14 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Pause. ]

...I should've been here earlier.

I'm here now. How're you? [ Most subtle subject change ever. ] How's your head?
wind_dancer: ([close up] hunched shoulder)

[personal profile] wind_dancer 2011-11-29 08:49 pm (UTC)(link)
My head is good, [she sounds relieved.] Charles...really did a great job and so did you you. I know you were there the whole time Julian.
hellionated: (facesidewayslook)

[personal profile] hellionated 2011-11-29 09:03 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Why in hell did he change the subject to this? ]

...I didn't know if you'd remember. You were pretty out of it.
wind_dancer: ([close up] hunched shoulder)

[personal profile] wind_dancer 2011-11-30 04:17 pm (UTC)(link)
I...didn't notice you all the time, but I remember hearing your voice a lot.
hellionated: (facelookupsad)

[personal profile] hellionated 2011-12-01 02:43 am (UTC)(link)
Do you remember anything else? You told me you saw things.

[ Monsters. Or coldness. Or something. He really hadn't understood most of it. ]
wind_dancer: ([action] lipbite)

[personal profile] wind_dancer 2011-12-01 05:13 pm (UTC)(link)
Some of it. [Sofia bites her lip and tries to put it into words.]

Everything was distorted, I wasn't seeing people, all the features were stretched and sharp and the sky ....it just seemed to go on forever.

It felt like I was seeing it a distance...and it felt like there was a wall of ice around my heart.
hellionated: (facebeautiful)

[personal profile] hellionated 2011-12-02 02:54 am (UTC)(link)
[ As it turns out, hearing this from a lucid Sofia is no easier than hearing it when she was afraid. He remembers her talking about ice, coldness, monsters...

He should've stuck with not talking about this. It isn't good. He shifts to sit close to her. ]


I'm sorry, beautiful. I wanted to make it better.
wind_dancer: ([action] lipbite)

[personal profile] wind_dancer 2011-12-03 06:10 pm (UTC)(link)
[She finds his hand and squeezes it.]

I'm never going to forget what you did for me...I know I can count on you.
hellionated: (facelookdown)

[personal profile] hellionated 2011-12-04 12:30 am (UTC)(link)
[ He doesn't move away. There's the slightest of smiles, but he's mostly holding back on reacting to this. He could never let her know how much it had freaked him out when her mind turned to jell-o like that. ]

Should've known that anyway. I wouldn't have been anywhere else.

I know, I trust you to stand by me no matter what.
hellionated: (faceprofileworried)

[personal profile] hellionated 2011-12-04 01:07 pm (UTC)(link)
[ He nods, and then clears his throat. ]

Uh, so. You want turkey?
wind_dancer: ([Julian] hand holding)

[personal profile] wind_dancer 2011-12-04 09:31 pm (UTC)(link)
[She smiles] Yes, plenty of turkey and vegetables.

I like this American holiday.
