Hun you might want to try and fix those tags ^w^;;;the_all_goddessSeptember 20 2010, 07:55:09 UTC
Today, despite having just properly started, was not going too well. A call had come in from work far before dawn and Nafretiri had rushed into the office at 3am to fix a desk full of stupid mistakes regarding the cataloging of the items she'd brought with her to display.
And now it was later in the morning, the time she'd been planning to wake up originally, and she was just getting out of the cab from work. Her revised schedule was already being mentally planned out. A nice cup of tea, a shower, and a long cat nap to catch up on missing beauty sleep.
Then that schedule was thrown out the window when she saw a rather familiar face on the condo steps. Nap later, greet her 'nephew' and invite him up now.
"Herakles!" She grinned and rushed over to him, heels clicking on the concrete. She tapped in the code for the door without looking, manicured nails clicking on the buttons. "It has been a while, please, come on up. Have you been waiting long?"
Finally fixed them! Thanks. ^^;platomycatSeptember 20 2010, 10:29:22 UTC
Herakles was about ready to fall asleep when he heard his name being called out by a familiar voice. He lazily glanced up and towards the owners’ voice. Ah, one of the people he had been hoping to see. The Greek was quick to get on his feet as he followed his Aunt into the building.
“Aunt Nafretiri.” He greeted warmly; a small smile crossing his face. “It hasn’t been too long.” Herakles wasn’t actually too sure how long he had been waiting but it had given him some time to think so for him it hadn’t been that long.
“I hope you don’t mind that I’ve come over at such an odd hour.” He spoke up. “I just really needed some company.” Aunt Nafretiri always understood though. It was something he never really had to worry about. She just knew, it was a gift she and his mother shared. Perhaps women's tuition? But who really knew? It could have easily been wisdome that comes with age.
Sorry for being late! :3bornofisisSeptember 20 2010, 12:49:52 UTC
As the door swung open, Gupta greeted them inside, although 'greeting' could be used lightly. He was clearly rumpled from sleep and was still dressed in a massive T-shirt and boxers that he no doubt fell asleep in. Anubis, meanwhile, was so used to Herakles's presence that he didn't even bother look up from where he was happily munching away in his food bowl.
Blinking twice, Gupta rubbed at one eye as if to make sure he wasn't dreaming himself and immediately looked wide awake. "What happened?" he asked his mother in Arabic, alarmed, then immediately turned to Herakles and switched to English. "What happened? Are you alright?"

Nafretiri waved the concern off as she lead the way to the condo, setting her coat and purse inside the hall closet. "He was waiting outside, I do not know. Perhaps the dream?" She lead Herakles and Gupta to the new couch, motioning for them to sit and brushing a good morning kiss across her son's forehead.
Not really sure what to say. xDplatomycatSeptember 23 2010, 07:15:30 UTC
Herakles was relieved to see his childhood friend awake but, then again, Gupta was always awake when he needed him. The Greek trailed in slowly taking in his surroundings. It was the first time he had seen his aunts and Gupta’s Liberty estate. The good thing about the place was that it emitted the same homey feeling that he got from their residence in Egypt. Herakles had immediately calmed down. However, the vivid images of his dream were still playing through his mind.
He gave Gupta a weak smile as they were lead to the couch by Nafretiri. Herakles didn’t waste time in making himself comfortable as he sat down on the couch. “Hey, Gupta, do you ever get really unsettling dreams?” Right to the point, as usual.
So late, sorry. D: (Also, I totally had to look up traditional Arabic greetings for this. @_@)bornofisisSeptember 24 2010, 03:36:34 UTC
Gupta nodded, accepted his mother's kiss with a gracious dip of his chin and immediately went up to Herakles to greet him properly. He placed his right hand on Herakles', his left on the taller man's shoulder and leaned in to kiss him gently on each cheek.
"What is wrong, my friend?" he asked worriedly. He gestured to the sofa and sat next to Anubis, absently stroking his pet's back as he waited for the Greek to join him. "I do get strange dreams, but in Egypt, they are considered messages from the gods. They are lessons, not bad things..."
s-super late reply is super late /didn't get an update for this the_all_goddessOctober 5 2010, 04:58:25 UTC
Nafretiri was out of the kitchen again in minutes, a platter holding pita bread, a bowl of feta cheese and a small bowl of olives as well balanced on her hand. Watching her nephew worriedly, he set it down, murmuring a soft apology about the bread not being fresh.
"Do you boys want coffee or tea, I have water heating up now." It would be horrible of her to assume, it had been quite a while since she'd been able to properly visit with Herakles after all. She could pry about these cryptic dreams when she came back with their drinks.
