Kristian hesitated his next bite. " He set his fork down as he began to chuckle. " That was you? Sorry, I shouldn't laugh." He listened to her story without interrupting. When she finished, he wiped his mouth before thinking aloud. " So how did you know what I am? I don't advertise."
Before she could answer, he spoke." I beleive they're real, and they aren't the wierdest thing I've seen. Since you've shown me yours..." His voice trailed as he stood and spread his arms. Suddenly, small red things began to poke from his skin until they converged to cover his entire body with a red crystalline structure he folded his arms. The transformation completed, he looked at Sierra and smirked as he folded his arms acrossed his chest. " I think mine will make me stand out in a crowd more."

'well .. the scales tell anyone what i am IF they get a close enough look. i've learned how to .. hide them. and .. i can tell .. cause i .. oh jeez, this is embarrassing. i get itchy. thats the best way i can describe it, i get itchy. the skin kinda twitches .. but i think its cause ... uh ... ... ' *looks rather nervous and decides 'well .. i've spilled that much .. but .. i sometimes don't like to do it .. but ... '
*closes the eyes, and with a deep breath, seems to mimic Kristian's change. small portions of the skin seep and then spread until she looks up with a strange look to the eyes. a complete female version of himself before reverting back to normal* ' .. heh .. i .. copy those about me. best way i can describe it. my body copies them, sometimes it tickles .. other times its a bit painful .. i'm just glad that i don't loose my clothes with this one.
*does the last few buttons up tight, and then replaces the gloves and continues to nibble at her salads. 'so .. what's your favorite kind of cookie? .. chocolate chip? .. peanut butter? .. oatmeal and raisin? .. all three? ... they're bagged into dozens, so if you wanna take a bag to work? .. go ahead .. and if they wanna put an order in .. i could make another batch or so .. about four bucks a dozen? .. thats fair .. considering they're thick .. and the money can go for rent or whatever you think it should go for ... or .. or not ...

" Remind me not to play anything you can do, I can do better with you, okay?" Kristian smirked before reverting to normal. He grinned at her enthusiam. " The last thing I need to do is feed sugar to the guys at work, though I guess I could let them have a few crumbs. And whatever kind is okay by me except ginger snaps. Now don't be so foolish and start talking about rent." He retook his seat and started eating again. " You're my guest here, so stop trying to insult me by offering money. Think of it as one stranger in this city helping out another until you get situated.... what's with the scratching?" He asked, motioning towards her digging at her arm. The sounds of multiple sets of footsteps in the hallway passed through the thin walls of the apartment.

' ... uhh .. i think there's others like us in the building ... i sensed them before .. no idea where they are though ... ' *makes the concious effort to stop rubbing at the arm

The itching stopped shortly after passersby in the hallway were out of hearing range. Kristian shrugged. " I haven't seen or heard anything, so they must try to keep it under wraps like we do. I've had the same neighbors since I moved in, so as long as they don't cause problems I don't think we have to worry about them."
after taking his last couple bites, he wiped his mouth off and slid back from the table. " That was really good. So what have you got planned for tonight?" He asked as he took his dishes to the sink.

'planned? .. uhh .. was gonna get a newspaper so i can see what's available for work. gotta help the family get back on the road. i owe them that much, considering everything they've done for me' ...
*looks up from her half finished meal and is happy that she learned to cook after all. 'i've been trained for office management kinda stuff. wonder if there's anything like that here?.. otherwise, i'll have to hope that the 'scoot' will last for a while longer' *stands up and brings her dishes over to the sink.
'did you have plans?.. i can always go sit at the court across the street for .. oh lets say .. ' *slips the dishes to the counter while looking at the watch* 'well as long as it stays warmish and doesn't rain .. i could probably stay there and read the paper for .. uhh .. maybe until midnight?' *the eyes dance as a grin forms*

Kristian shrugs as he sits down at the table again. "I was just going to relax tonight. I'm sure you'll be able to find a job with office management skills. You're welcome to read the paper here if you'd like if it does end up raining or gets chilly outside."
Kristian's eyebrow raises and he has a smirk on his face as he asks "What's that grin about?"

*the grin grow wider and the chuckle escapes. a wrinkling nose as she starts to laugh whole heartedly and then subsides. 'i was just saying that if you had a date before i get everything settled i can vanish for the night. thats all, and i know i wont starve, i'll just take a couple dozen cookies to munch on .. ' *its obvious that she knows some things about how guys get when they have roommates and a date coming over, and is easy-going about it*
*fills the sink with hot soapy water 'mind if i leave the dishes for you? .. there's not many. i should go get a newspaper. now where would i find a box or should i go to the corner store?' *makes sure that the gloves are back on and grabs a light dark green sweater as she comments 'i'll be back in about 10 minutes or so .. i think i saw a newspaper box at the corner ...'

Kristian nods at Sierra "Sure. It's only fair since you went to the trouble of making supper." Kristian grins "Nope, no hot date tonight. If I do, I'll put a sock on the doorknob." he jokes as he heads over to the sink and starts to wash the dishes. "I'll see you when you get back."

*breaks out with a lighthearted but bull bodied chuckle as she hangs the sweater of the shoulders and then opens the door. 'catch you when i get back, just throw that cassorole into the fridge for now. i'll package it up later'
*then shakes the head as she heads off down the hall and then to the ground floor. the smile locked in place as she continues to snicker about the sock comment. 'i'm sure that you would too ... hehehee '

Kristian nods as he washes dishes "See you when you get back. Stay out of trouble." He calls out to her as she leaves.
Sierra finds the newpaper box with no problems, and grabs a newspaper and heads towards her destination to read it.

*sits down under the street light and starts to look at the classifieds .. and is somewhat happy that the sun is still sorta out. looking up once to see the spectacular colors of the sunset comments to herself 'you know .. for once i wish i really did take up an interest in painting .. now .. *as she looks at the colors some more comments* 'wonderful colors that go together .. i wonder if i should get some fabric and sew some clothes .. '
*smiles to herself briefly .. and then goes back to reading the 'help wanted' and then the other offers, and hopes that an office type job is there

Sierra finds several ads for office types of jobs sush as receptionist, executive assitant. She circles a few that catch her eye, making a note to work on a resume and cover sheet to fax or email to the potential employer as instructed. Once she's done, she continues enjoying the sight of the beautiful sunset.

*a part of her mind is critical as she observes the changing colors, but the inner child marvels at the blending,and how the buildings block it off in the profile silhouette. finally stands up to move to the curb and looks both ways before crossing the street back to the apartment she's sharing for just now.
the joy still shining in the eyes, climbs the stairs and then along to the door. pausing to check the doorknob for a sock and seeing none, uses her key to get inside. 'hey, you know you got the most wonderful view for the sunset outside? ... ' *looking up as she removes the key, the single track mind of her still in evidence as she continues with 'think the roof is free? .. or maybe a fire escape to get up there? .. that would be like so coo'

Sierra finds Kristian in the living room, flipping through the television channels with the remote trying to find something on telelvsion. He grins at Sierra as she enters and nods "Yeah, it is beautiful." he agrees. "There's an observation deck on the roof if you want to go up and watch the sunset," he tells her "it's easy to get to from the stairs if you go up to the top. There's a door to your left that leads right to it.
