I waited at the airport for my sister. I wondered if I had made the correct decision in allowing her to join us. Slowly standing and pacing to the point where my legs began to ache I had a momentary flash where I wished I had taken up a vice so that I could relax. Being a champion was bloody tiring. I was one of the most active watchers and leaders

I had gotten word on the plane that Michelle had called ahead and told Wesley I was coming. Good, I didn't want to have to navigate my way around Kathmandu by myself.

When we landed, I moved my way through the terminal looking for Wes. It's been a while but I was sure I could recognise my own brother. I looked around no, no, no...wait there he is!! I smirked at his appearance, my brother had gotten alot tougher looking since I saw him last.

I walked up to him and smiled "Hey Stranger" giving him a hug.

[wesley_pryce]

My arms opened and then closed around her back. I pulled her close, up into my chest as I leaned back and let myself do a spinny hug where I slowly turned in circles while she lifted her feet up in glee.

Although no horsey rides in the terminal. Good god, I was beginning to be very sarcastic in my thinking.

It was nice to touch her again. The letters had seemed rather impersonal and now that she was here and alive and in one piece I could relax.

Although absolutely positively no shopping.

Or I might start drinking once more.

I smiled warmly and hugged him back, glad that I wasn't alone anymore. Then I hit him in the shoulder "You don't call, you don't check to see if I'm still alive..." I shook my head "Still it's wonderful to see you though" I reluctantly let him go and picked up my bag, following him out of the airport.

"What on earth are we doing here anyway?" Really it seemed like the last place we would end up.

[wesley_pryce]

Thank goodness she was old enough to carry her own bag. I gazed over to her and smiled. "Well, I believe it was easier to meet here then Timbuktu." I teased.

I allowed one hand to rest by my side as I flagged down a taxi. It soon appeared and I opened the door for her. "Actually, I have recently completed resurrecting Tara and this was the optimum base camp for the operation."

I hid my bandaged hand with stumps of the missing fingers away from her. No need to frighten her about what happened.

[kimwyndhampryce]

"Well, I believe it was easier to meet here then Timbuktu."

I hit him playfully in the shoulder 'Oh that rapier wit' I giggled.

"Actually, I have recently completed resurrecting Tara and this was the optimum base camp for the operation."

I tilted my head and looked at him "Seriously, I have no idea what you're on about" he did that sometimes, talk to me like I had been there all along, like I'm supposed to know what was going on.

I got into the taxi and turned to him "Let's try this again. Slower, and in English"

"A long time ago I was assigned to Sunnydale. There I met many people, including Willow who- when I was in L.A. - became- very- ah- close with another woman, who died. While I was still in LA. This lead to a Apocalypse. Many years later I brought this woman- Tara Macclay- back from the dead. She is now alive. This woman- Tara- was very skilled in certain matters and I think that she is very useful in the upcoming events that are facing us." I replied confidently.

"And howhave you been? You've scarcely called- saber breath." I said and tickled as I gave the driver directions.

[kimwyndhampryce]

I sat and listened to him tell his story, I wasn't going to question him about it. He'd launch into lecture mode and I'd never hear the end of it. I just nodded and listened to him talk, it was nice to hear his voice again.

"And how have you been? You've scarcely called- saber breath."

"Hey! You know father was opposed to me talking to you and when I went to live with Michelle it was better you didn't know. If the bringers had come back for me..." I shook my head, bad thoughts.

[wesley_pryce]

And there she goes again. Just nodding with scarcely a Mmmhmmm or go one from her. I smiled and glanced over to her as if to reassure myself she was still here.

"The bringers were coming and you didn't want me to rescue you? I believe it was more like you wanted to be your own Prince." I teased poking her in the arm with my two good fingers. A very gentle poke.

I drove the car to the cabin and put the car into park. "Well now you are here and that's what is important." I said moving to pick up her luggage (if any) and carry it into the structure. "How hungry are you?"

[kimwyndhampryce]

"The bringers were coming and you didn't want me to rescue you? I believe it was more like you wanted to be your own Prince."

I smiled "Tell you the truth, I thought you had fogotten about me" It had been six years since we've seen each other after all, life had gotten complicated.

Wesley carried my bags while I took in my backpack and laptop.

"How hungry are you?"

"Starving" I smiled and went inside.

When we entered I locked the door behind us with a soft sound. I then moved over to the kitchen and prepared a two course dinner while thinking of some new research that I had been undertaken.

When it was all completed I turned off the stove with a click and served her several gourmet dishes and then warmed myself by the crackling fire.

"Seven years... perhaps you should begin at the beginning KIm."

[kimwyndhampryce]

I tucked into my food "Mmm delicious, are you sure you're my brother? My brother doesn't know how to cook"

"Seven years... perhaps you should begin at the beginning Kim."

I nodded and listened to him eagerly.

[wesley_pryce]

"It's been awhile. I have learned how to feed myself." I replied dryly as I also served myself and sat near her.

you... beginning...

"How about you start at the beginning of what has happened and I listen."

[kimwyndhampryce]

"Oh you want to know what's been happening with me?" I asked "Well when I turned thirteen mother took up training me, I enjoyed it. Things were peaceful till the council exploded, father died in the blast, mother was killed by the bringers. I went to live with Jean-Luc and Michelle they've been really good to me. Other than that" I smiled, I really was the boring one.

[wesley_pryce]

I returned the smile warmly. "Mmmmhmmm." was what I said as she went through her story and I listened to it carefully. "And your education- ...." I inquired as I listened to her speak.

I gazed over to her with interest as I ate.

[kimwyndhampryce]

"And your education?"

I nodded, "I went to St. Michael's like you did. It's very different there now, everything being co-ed" I giggled "I made school captain. After the trouble, I ended up in a private school in Paris"

[wesley_pryce]

"I am pleased to hear that your education continued without interruption." I replied and smiled to her. I yawned and standing I streatched my fingers. "I'm going to go tuck in Kim. Goodnight. Make yourself at home."
