...Attention passengers. We are now approaching Edge Outer Station. Please gather your belongings and prepare to disembark. This is the last stop. I repeat, we are now approaching Edge Outer Station...

[He's running. But what else is new]

-Elena?! [He'd almost fallen over when he'd heard that voice. He'd been en route to the train station anyway, but now he resumes his pace. It's still weird running around with boots rather than sandals, but with the recent snowfall, he's not going to complain for the warmth offered.]

You're back? -well of course you're back, but- uh... Welcome back?

[He manages a smile down at the watch.]

[Oh look! Its her potential Not!Son! Sieg! The look of surprise was a little odd, perhaps she wasn't gone as long as she was expecting. Maybe she wasn't really even gone at all?]

I...I guess I am. But the way you say it.... Did my disappearance slip under the radar? [Her smile turns to mild-amusement. Sure, she locked herself up in her office quite a deal and was in and out of communication. Such was the life of a Turk..]

[Video/Action]

[wontknowtilitry]

...guess so. We're doing a lousy job of keepin' tabs on people, but between zombies and whatever else, I guess we were kept kinda busy.

Good to see you again though.

[Video/Action]

[provenworth]

No, no...I wasn't trying to say anything like that. I know you have your hands full just trying to maintain the list. It doesn't help with things like zombies and other weird things happen. [Oh yes, she's looking VERY APOLOGETIC here.]

Its very good to see you. Perhaps, if you need the help, I can help maintain the list?

[ser_vile]

Of course you have a place to return. I have been keeping things as you left them.

[provenworth]

I'm glad to see you're still around, Sebastian. And thank you for maintaining the Apartments in my absence. I'm sorry to have caused you the trouble in doing so.

[ser_vile]

Not a difficulty at all, Miss. Elena. I need something to pass my time, after all.

[provenworth]

I take it, then, that you've made the Apartments your home - at least temporary? I intend to return and, seeing that there are so few of the original members living there, would like to extend my offer again to have you stay full time - seeing that you have already put in so much time and effort there.

[Out on an idle walk to kill time, Cross had found himself intrigued by the sight of an unfamiliar female form moving down the street--And then pleased to discover that it wasn't quite so unfamiliar after all.

He's a man with manners, though, and so waits for her to finish her transmission with her watch before he approaches from behind. Falling into step beside her, he's careful to let the sound of her rolling luggage mask the sound of his steps until he bends to bring his lips beside her ear and give himself away.]

Why, miss Elena... And all this time, I thought you'd just abandoned me.

[Really, the city looked rather pretty with the light dusting of snow. How long ago had it fallen? How thick? Had it snowed last year and she had forgotten or been too busy to even notice?

Fingers worked the keys of her communicator, answering the few welcoming texts she had begun to receive from familiar faces, ignorant of the figure slowly creeping up behind her. It was in the second before she felt a presence behind her that she felt the heat of a nearby body, a familiar scent, before the voice gave himself away. It took every last ounce of willpower not to scream out in surprise, although her heart was hammering loudly against her ribs.]

Abandon you? Perish the thought.[Stopping, she turned towards him with a flushed smile.] My dear General, did you come out all this way just to greet me?

[Action]

[iplayyoupay]

How could I resist a presence as warming as yours, in weather as barren as this?

[Smiling down at her as he straightened, he raised one hand to draw his gloved thumb fondly over her pink-tinged cheekbone.]

Surely you can't begrudge me that little favor, since you do seem to have warmth aplenty... Or do my eyes deceive me?

[Action]

[provenworth]

I'm so very glad to see your flattery hasn't changed. I would have been utterly devastated if it had.

[Keeping a hand around the handle of her luggage, her body shifted, weight moving from one foot to another. The touched of the glove was cold, but welcomed, eyes sparkling slightly with a subdued mirth.]

Now, what kind of woman would I be to deny a man, such as yourself, a little thing such as that. No, I think I'll take your favor a step further and ask that you join me for a celebratory drink. [Taking a step forward, she wrapped her free arm around one of his own, grinning.] So perhaps I should be asking you if you would you be able to grant my little request of being my escort for the afternoon.

Oh, and as for your eyes...they can take what they see as they wish to see it.
