Wow I made a lot of idiotic happy noises when I saw that picture it's actually pretty fucking accurate xD ))
"Ah, just one moment, Chris!" Elijah called to his friend quickly, a sort of desperate excitement in his voice. "Look you're going to love this, just, stay there, wanker!" He sort of snapped at the end, a funny sort of snap, as if he was being lighthearted but promised a good tongue lashing if Chris had chosen to ignore him. The Englishman hurried to his room, pausing for a moment with somewhat of a blush over his pale cheeks. "God- uhm-" presentable? Something of his looking presentable? Lucky for Elijah, he was only 5'6 or so, so height as a problem could be worse. He decided to snatch up a white button-up-shirt; and a peacoat as well. He was almost halfway towards the bathroom when he remembered she probably needed pants as well, and with a quick: "shit-" he hurried back, and grabbed the smallest pair he could find before going towards the bathroom again. Closing his eyes (because clearly he is an adorable gentlemen), and covering them with one hand, he held out the clothes for Harley to wear. "Uhm- these are the best I could find." He admitted, and nodded softly to her at her last request, knowing well that he would have kept it a secret, anyways. "And of course." Afterwards, Elijah made his way to the front door again, his chest seeming to inflate with helium. God had it been a long time since they were all together. Even Chris and he were stuck with work now (although Chris being on-call 24/7 made it difficult to see him otherwise). It was as if nothing in the world could spoil the moment, not even he, if he tried. The young man opened the door, covering it enough so that Chris couldn't see inside (not that this mattered, considering Harley was in the bathroom). "Hey- uhm, hello." He tried to act causal, but this was failing horridly. Actually, he had on that same innocent excitement from when he had first visited his family with Chris so many years ago, his cheeks red and flustered, with his weary eyes bright and alert.
This is going to be pitiful because I have to go take a shower.
Harley hurriedly got dressed, pulling the collar over as it hung baggily over her shoulders. She had to roll her cuffs up a few times, and her pants were undeniably large. Having to hold them up, she rolled the bottoms up a few times as well of the jeans. Sighing out, she looked at herself in the mirror. Her hair was darker then it was when she was a child; it was thicker, wavy, and it annoyingly fell into stings all around her face as it dripped. Shaking her head, she rubbed it into the towel before hanging it up. She had noticed how Elijah looked at her in the towel, and it caused her to blush as well as be suddenly self-conscious. Because of how she looked on the outside, it affected the way they looked at her on the inside. She bit her lip angrily, and then turned back and opened the door. Whatever happened, it was going to happen anyways. They weren't crazed kids anymore. She had to accept her responsibilities as an adult. Stepping out, she walked over to the couch and sat down.
Chris eyed his old friend suspiciously. "Yeah.. hey. What's the big hurry, anyways? I had to leave work, you know. I get almost a few hundred an hour for my research." He leaned forward, narrowing his eyes and trying to look past him. He spotted a flash of red walk across, and he leaned back. His face for playful, and suddenly he punched his shoulder. "Come to celebrate losing your virginity? She's even wearing your clothes, haha!" He laughed, "Well I love you, but I'm not going to get into a freaky threesome with the beauty and the beast." He winked, and then took a step back.
Elijah felt a blush fill his cheeks, and he glared furiously at Chris. "H-hey!" He snapped, showing that 'Elijah' attitude towards things. "I had a fiancé!" He shook his head, and looked more honestly at Chris, the lighthearted spite gone from his voice. "...Chris." He had a small amount of hurt in his voice, as if his friend had said or done something rude. Winking at Harley? Calling her something like that? He felt his stomach twist with disease, and turned his expression to one of anger instead of pain. "You idiot! Fuck! Don't you- just-" he faltered, and suddenly grabbed Chris's wrist, hushing and pulling him inside with much meaning, as if he were a child trying to show his mother something. "It's-it's-" his voice cut short, and his eyes grew very wide. There was a bit of heart wrenching sadness in his voice- the sudden love and honesty there again. It was the same old Elijah Chris must had remembered when he was in love with his fiancé, and even more strange, the same sort of soft tone he had when talking with Harley. When talking *about* Harley. The same sweet melancholy in his eyes when he thought about her. "Chris- Chris it's her just look, Chris-"

The air was cool. It whispered past Karou's ears in silence, chilling her arms as she jogged around the outskirts of the woods in her suburban English town. The sky gracing the forest was a smokey grey, penetrated occasionally with the inky blues and pinks and oranges of the setting sun. In the opinion of the girl, now 23, running at night was better. It created a certain serenity that couldn't be acquired within daylight, interrupted by the thin, bustling crowds and neighborhood wildlife and the sharp noises trapped in the afternoon air. Her former experiences now rarely plagued her, and she was close to comfort in her new apartment. She was enveloped in darkness as she crossed under the thick canopy of trees indicating her entrance to the woods. There were no obnoxious sounds now; no melodious chirping of birds or the laughter of small children or the muffled chatter of the general public; no. The only audible thing to Karou's ears was her quick breaths and the crunch of leaves and sticks underfoot as she ran. All else was completely, satisfyingly silent.

...and Jay. Although Karou would not have caught this amungst her own breaths and footsteps, Jay's was there too, in times with her's. Quick. Desperate, almost, like someone hurrying after a runaway dog, being too afraid it'd flee from him if it noticed him. Did the vampire, young man Jay Evens, know it was Karou? Of course he didn't. Time ran like soup to him- it could be very thin sometimes, and other times, very thick. Perhaps it was Karou only a couple months later, perhaps it was her now full grown child. Perhaps neither of these options are true, and whatever heart that just be left in that chest of his had suddenly dictated his eyes what to see and it 'was Karou' (but really wasn't). His foot crunched down on leaves out of tune with her's, alighting his mind and the space around them in a frenzy of buzzing thoughts. Oh god- what if she turned back to see him? The sky was dark enough to cover him wasn't it!? No... Or what if she didn't turn back at all? (Best option right there); or what if she did, and she just... Did not recognize him? Wait. No. Jay gritted his teeth awkwardly, forcing himself to ship up within his buzzing mind. England- he was in England because that was where the other supers were. Other supers... Karou... But what if the woman wasn't her?! That would bring on countless other options! He slowed down, staring at her with a stop, and his arms holding one another. He was wearing a white button up shirt, and black pants. God damn! He looked more suited to be out in he city than running around in a forest! ...after someone he happened to spot who happened to look like Karou, and probably wasn't even her. No , definitely wasn't her. He was probably off by a very long time- she had probably already grown old with some other man and he didn't even be able to say goodbye. "Jay, god stop it- thinking crazy things." He mumbled to himself.

The breeze swept by again, and brushed the now chilled girl's arms as she quickened her pace. Though, her secondary drive was the overwhelming idea that she was being followed. Karou's hearing was acute and though she hadn't recognized a specific vocal sound, she's identified the crunch of leaves on the cracked dirt floor sounding out of step with her own a bit...quaint. She broke into a break in the trail and slowed her pace, glancing precariously around her as moonlight penetrated the dense ceiling of leaves and relieved some of the darkness from the almost eerie wood. It was then that she saw Jay Evans. She whirled around and broke into a sprint.
