Log : Kitty, Alison

[x-dazzler.livejournal.com]

Late morning

Kitty: *Kitty is actually enjoying herself, which has been confusing at first, but hell, distractions are a wonderful thing. She's in line for snacks, but after taking a quick look at the options, she decides that fair food is horrible stuff and that she'd rather go on a few more rides*

Alison: *Alison waits until Kitty steps out of line to wave at her to catch attention, glad to see that the young girl is apparently enjoying herself* Hi Kitty. If you don't mind, could I speak with you for a second?

Kitty: Oh hey Alison! Sure. What's up?

Alison: *starts walking, without really picking a specific destination* Well - I hope you don't mind me bringing this up, but mainly I wanted to apologize. *sidelong look* For what happened with the prank and all. I should have know better than to *pause* enable like that.

Kitty: *Kitty gets very quiet, very quickly* It wasn't your fault. I didn't even ... I made the decision. I am responsible for my own actions.
Kitty: If I'd thought it would be wrong I wouldn't have done it

Alison: I didn't think much further than the joke myself really. *Alison looks at the young girl, hoping this won't ruin Kitty's fun for the rest of the day.* Thing is, of all involved, I should have.

Kitty: *Kitty shrugs* I'm still not convinced there was anything to it beyond the joke. I don't even know what it was that Mr. Worthington was angry about. *Kitty has never referred to Warren as Mr. Worthington before* I know what upset Storm, but... well, whatever. *Her eyes are dark, almost cold*

Alison: *Alison blinks at the tone of voice - and remembers how she used to tease Kitty about being fond of Piotr not so long ago* Kitty... did this have anything to do with Piotr?
Kitty: *she looks up suddenly* Not ... not exactly. *there's something strange in her tone*

Alison: *Alison nods, noting that Kitty is at least nominally offering some information, rather than simply not saying anything. After walking along a bit more in silence, she speaks up again, gently* Not exactly?

Kitty: Well, *she sighs* At the time I ... I didn't ... I was just confused. I wasn't really angry, except at how he'd been treating some of the other kids. And being confused about... about everything... was kind of another reason.

Alison: *Alison nods, feeling more than a little sympathy, all things considered* Confusion isn't the easiest feeling to deal with. Especially not when living in the same place, like we all are. It makes it harder to just get away and get enough space to clear your head long enough to think...

Kitty: Yeah... *her eyes drift down, staring at the ground*

Alison: *Alison doesn't push, knowing that even the fact that she's willing to mention it to someone is a start* Take your time, hon. Maybe talk to someone, when you're ready. *she pats Kitty's shoulder once, gently, and then very deliberately changes the subject* Jamie seems to be fitting in well, I've noticed. Dove right into things here with the barbecue and all.

Kitty: yeah, people keep telling me that... *she looks up as Alison changes the subject* Yes, he does. I think he's a real people person.

Alison: No doubt about that. I think his power seems to suit him ideally that way. He certainly doesn't seem to be bothered by it - and he's taking most of what's going on here in stride.

Kitty: *nods* Plus I don't think anyone at home ever gave him any troubles about being a mutant.

Alison: That does make things so easier... *sighs* Then again, my father was always more upset about me wanting to be a singer than anything else. Being a mutant was a details by the time he found out about that. *grins wryly*

Kitty: *smiles at that, a little*

Alison: Of course, he only found out a few months ago. The singer bit had time to really irritate him.

Kitty: I can see that.

Alison: *deadpan* He wanted me to be a lawyer.

Kitty: *stares* You? A lawyer?

Alison: *Alison chuckles at the expression, and nods* Yep. Criminal lawyer. Like him. Thankfully,mom was on my side, at least. Of course, she was an actress before marrying dad so...

Kitty: *grins slyly* So you take after her, yes?

Alison: *laughs from pure startlement* Zing! Point! And you bet I do. *she winks at Kitty, true amusement lighting up her eyes*

Kitty: *joins in the laughter*

Kitty: Hey, I think they've got a carosel... Want to go on it with me?

Carousel ride? Sounds like an idea. *she looks around and nods in satisfaction* Just don't tell Sam. He'll try and get me to learn how to ride a horse again if he sees that.

Kitty: *glances about* Well, he's not here, and we can ride one of the ones that doesn't look like a horse. I spotted a chicken figure earlier...

Alison: *Alison blinks and wrinkles her nose* I am so not riding a chicken... think they might have an elephant? *

Kitty: I'm sure they've got an elephant.

Alison: *pauses* I don't think he'd try to make me learn to ride elephants... *raises an eyebrow and makes a show of thinking that over*

Kitty: Well, he might, but only after he'd gotten the chance to learn.

Alison: ...
Alison: He so would.

Kitty: *nods enthusiastically as they reach the ride*
Kitty: Fine then, you ride the elephant, and I'll ride the tiger...

Alison: *pauses and sidelong look* I'll flip a coin with you over the tiger?

Kitty: Hmph. Certainly not. Which one of us is the kitten here?

Alison: *pouts* It was worth a try.

Kitty: *grins back*

*handwave to end scenelet as girls go on ride :p*
