[OTA] Homesick, maybe?

Lorenzo sat on the shore of the beach, just far enough way so the water couldn't touch his feet. The sun was starting to set, and there were people walking along the beach, but he had barely noticed him. His sword was lying on the sand beside him as he picked up another stone and half-heartedly tossed it into the water

Tim dropped down onto the sand beside Lorenzo and offered him a bottle of beer. "Ya' look like ya' just found out that tits bite, dude. It ain't all bad. Jus' gotta get drunk," he told him with a shrug. "Ya' alright?"

Lorenzo looked at him, horrified. "They bite?!" 'Tits' was something he managed to pick up early on by Sam, but this place was looking less and less appealing by the minute. His eyes dropped to the bottle and he wasn't going to take it, but he did and then just proceeded to blink at the bottle, having no clue how to get it open. He set it down in the sand and picked up his sword, ready to knock the top off it.

"Whoa, whoa! Dude!" Tim cut in, grabbing the sword before Lorenzo smashed the bottle to bits and ruined a lot of perfectly good beer. He put the sword back down on the sand and took the bottle, cracking it open and handing it back as he flicked the lid somewhere behind him. He had brought two six packs, but he was happy to share. Dude looked like he could use it more than Tim did. "They don't bite. It was just a meteor... or whatever the fuck they call it. So, ya' alright or not? Need a doctor?"

Lorenzo used both hands to tip the bottle up and take a long drink from it. He coughed as it burned going down and then burped, not used to the fizzy texture of it. It was nice, though. He swallowed down another mouthful as he shook his head. "No, I do not want one of those," he said through another hiccup. "I do not like that place. I do not like anything here anymore. Everyone goes away."

Elektra hated to admit it, but she was worried about Lorenzo. Even after her discussion with Sirius about officially moving into the bungalow, and having Lorenzo join them, she could tell the Italian was still hurting over losing Haley and Sam.

And who could blame him?

She had yet to lose anyone she had cared about here, but back home she had lost both her parents so she understood to a degree. Her long hair was partially tied back as she walked along, green eyes searching for her wayward charge.

When she found him, she lowered herself next to him, unsure of what to say at first. Her arms slid around his shoulders, and she pressed a kiss to his temple. Few would ever really experience Elektra's softer side, but Lorenzo had been there after the attack when she needed family. "I'm so sorry," she said softly.

Lorenzo glanced at Elektra, surprised by the sudden company and embrace. He drew his lower lip in between his teeth and nodded, but then, "Why are you sorry?" he asked when his eyes turned back to the water and a frown appearing from the glare of the setting sun.

"Because I don't like to see you hurt. I know there's some lessons that we've wanted you to learn, but this isn't one of them. This isn't something anyone should know how it feels." Elektra watched his face, reaching up to brush some of Lorenzo's hair away from his face. "And I'm sorry I'm not as much fun as Haley. Not that I want to replace her, I just... I wish I was more the kind of friend you probably need. Although I still think that in this extremely bizarre scenario, Sirius and I are the parents."

Lorenzo held his hand out with a slight smile. "You wash my 'loons," he offered with a nod. "I have never really had parents. I was just left somewhere once, I think by my father. My mother died of the plague. I do not remember either of them. But you and Sirius are good. Very good. You would have a nice baby," he decided.
