fire eye'd boy, give em all the slip
WHO: Karkat and Kanaya
WHERE: A burning building
WHEN: Early morning on Monday, April 15th
WARNINGS: Peril
SUMMARY: Young Mr. Vantas faces his baptism by fire with a little help from his not-sister
FORMAT: Prose to start, whatever after
The sunrise was being indecisive. Dawn's rosy fingers tapped thoughtfully on the horizon, and the waiting made Kanaya anxious.
Standing out on the balcony in her pajamas and a dressing gown, a bottle of blood in her hand, this was one of the few quiet moments she'd allow herself each day. An hour to take it easy before the day starts, just her and the sunrise, to soak up enough energy to last her through it. With her date delayed she was only left with herself, and she didn't really care for the company.
The sky had already taken a purple hue as it waited for the sunrise to make up its mind, but was fairly empty aside from the stray airplane passing by, little more than red lights blinking in the distance, soon blotted out behind a column of smoke. But where was that coming from?
She checked her threads and eased out of her dressing gown. A tenement fire. People were in danger and the emergency crews were still a ways off. She not only could help them, but as a distant witness almost felt it would be cruelty not to, but even so she stopped just short of leaping through a portal into the fray. She had another idea. Delaying her action would be risky, if anyone suffered for it then it would be on her head, but if this went the way she hoped, then it might not be anything to worry about. It could all work out for everyone.
She opened a portal in the other direction instead.
Emerging in the kitchen of Ruka's house, she wasted no time in marching right up to Karkat, a hand extended. She let one portal snap shut as she started locating the threads to open the next. "Sorry to barge in, but I don't have time for anything else. We need to go. Now. I need your help."
