Micah Carrington: Micah sits quietly on
one of the myriad benches, a cup of coffee clenched between his slim white
hands, his eyes on a young family playing nearbye.
Reyna Varinia Reiruno: She's sitting on
one of the picnic benches in the park, feet planted wide apart, leaning forward
on a knee. A hand-rolled cigarette is sticking out of her mouth, the duster
resting comfortably around her shoulders as she scans the park. The one-stop pot
shop is stationary today, waiting for the business to come to her.
Reyna Varinia Reiruno:
d10: Per+Alert: 6,6,8,10,5,6,
Micah Carrington: He leans forward, eyes
tracking intently, one hand uncurling from his cup to push through his raven
curls, lips pulling up in a slow smile.
Reyna Varinia Reiruno: Oh, check it out.
It's that...uh. That one guy. Yeah, him. She cocks an eyebrow toward him,
grinning widely, and nods his way.
Micah Carrington:
d10: per+alert: 7,4,1,7,
Micah Carrington: His eyes track the
little boy as he runs, tongue flicking over his lips, body going still and tight
as his eyes land on Reyna. The beautiful green eyes widen and he nods slowly.
Reyna Varinia Reiruno: Her eyes flick from
Micah to the little boy, and that eyebrow arches a little higher. A moment's
decision, and she hops off the bench, walking over toward Micah, still grinning
like a banshee.
Micah Carrington: He straightens slowly
and takes a sip of his coffee, eyes watching her over the rim of the travel mug.
He's dressed casually in a pair of low slung faded blue jeans and body skimming
green button down, the sleeves rolled up to his elbows, the top unbuttoned just
far enough to show the dividing line between his pectorals.
Reyna Varinia Reiruno: She moves over and
plops down on the bench next to him, looking over and smirking. "Hola, chico.
S'up?"
Micah Carrington: "Hola, chica," he
murmurs, shifting to put a bit of space, and one curled leg between them. "Not
much. What's up with you?"
Reyna Varinia Reiruno: "Ahhh, y'know.
Doin' the business rounds, rocking the body that rocks the party, havin' nothin'
but fun. That's what this city's all about, right? Fun?" She chuckles a little,
eyes on him.
Micah Carrington: He smirks slowly,
softly, his eyes flicking back towards the family. "Yeah...Fun. How you doing
now that my...Now that he's gone?"
Reyna Varinia Reiruno: That, somehow,
draws an even bigger grin, eyes flashing brightly with an almost insane
amusement. "I'm survivin'. Y'know. Getting along. Hey, it's not the end of the
world, right? Not for most people, anyway." She shrugs a bit, looking away
suddenly to watch the family Micah was tracking. "No biggie."
Micah Carrington: "I thought you were his
lover?" A pause as he draws a sudden, sharp breath, eyes on the little boy
again. "Pretty cold attitude, Reyna."
Reyna Varinia Reiruno: She looks back over
at him, suddenly, eyes sharp and cutting right through the boy. The grin
remains. "Yeah, well, he had a lot of those, right? S'not like I was in a really
exclusive club or anything." She tilts her head to the side slightly, examining
Micah for a moment. "'sides, I don't think I was cut out for that kinda thing,
anyway. I certainly didn't seem to rank high on the list."
Micah Carrington: He drags his eyes away
and settles them on Reyna, pupils dilated, the green dark and smoky...Hungry.
"What kinda thing?"
Reyna Varinia Reiruno: "The whole love
thing." She shrugs, perusing Micah's expression.
Reyna Varinia Reiruno:
d10: Per+Empathy: 4,9,10,3,7,10,
Micah Carrington: "Ah." He grunts,
shrugging, meeting her gaze a little brazenly.
Reyna Varinia Reiruno: "So what's your
deal, kiddo?" She tilts her head a little further, snarky little grin firmly
affixed. "What's yankin' yer chain?"
Micah Carrington: "None of your
business, Reyna," he murmurs, tongue sliding over his lips.
Reyna Varinia Reiruno: "See, that just
proves how little you know me, cabrón." She chuckles, leaning back. "Ya
think something like that's gonna stop me in my tracks, you gotta lot of learnin'
to do. And I'm a damn good fuckin' teacher."
Micah Carrington: He shrugs gracefully.
"I honestly don't care if it derails you or not, I'm simply stating a fact. Its
none of your business."
Reyna Varinia Reiruno: "No, but I don't
think it's Sparky's business, either." She looks over to the young boy, to make
a point.
Micah Carrington: He flushes angrily and
drops his gaze, long at his lips again, teeth grinding. "To true."
Reyna Varinia Reiruno: "Damn right it is,"
she says with a grin, watching Micah with a look in her eyes akin to a rabid
animal standing inbetween her young and a predator. "So, what's the plan here,
Ziggy S? How's this gonna go down?"
Micah Carrington: "I wasn't going to do
anything. I wasn't," he murmurs, drawing his knee towards his chest, hands
shaking. "Just watch...Just...Its..."
Reyna Varinia Reiruno: "Yeah. I hear that
on SVU all the fuckin' time." She takes a drag off her cigarette. "Hey,
what's that smell?"
Micah Carrington: "I'm not a ped," he
whispers, voice cracking.
Reyna Varinia Reiruno: "Nope. Not yet."
She shakes her head. "But you're relucantly courched at the starting line. Only
thing yer waitin' on is the green light flashin', and the flags to go up." She
leans forward, close to him, smirking. "Do yourself and those around you a
favor, Micah. Turn off the engine, and get outa the race."
Micah Carrington: "I'm trying," he
whispers. "Aerin's gonna fix it...he's gonna fix me."
Reyna Varinia Reiruno: "Mmm." She nods.
"Dreamboat seems to try a lot of that, from what I hear. Good for him, and good
for you." She puts the cigarette in her mouth and pats Micah's shoulder,
speaking around the filter. "Best o' luck with that, hon. 'cause I'd hate to
have to teach you that particular lesson. Wouldn't be fun on either of us. Ask
Micheal Espesito...oh, wait. You can't."
Micah Carrington: He shivers softly and
stares up at her, eyes wide, almost pleading...as if what she's hinting at would
ease his soul in ways he can't even describe.
Reyna Varinia Reiruno: "Nope. No easy way
out for you, cutie-pie. Not yet, anyway." She winks at him. "Tell ya what. This
whole fixin' thing don't work out, ya let me know, 'kay? Then we'll see what we
can do."
Micah Carrington: "Its not easy,
Reyna...None of this is easy and I've seen Trevor...Even death isn't an out," he
whispers.
Reyna Varinia Reiruno: Something wavers in
her gaze, before a certain edge comes into it. She laughs a little bit, shaking
her head. "Bah. Only for the terminally unlucky is termination not an option. Or
Marvel Universe characters."
Micah Carrington: "Did you ever think a
man who could love the two of us was lucky? Or stable," he asks.
Reyna Varinia Reiruno: "Using that
criteria? Not by any definition of the words." She shakes her head, then rises
to her feet. "Well, I gotta vamooskie. Ya ever wanna hang out with kids yer own
age, gimme a ring, kiddo. Otherwise...stay at home."
Micah Carrington: He frowns at her and
stands as well, watching her quietly. "Yeah. Maybe, Reyna. Adios."
Reyna Varinia Reiruno: She grins to Micah,
and then turns, heading off, out of the park.
