[ Ariadne is sitting on the couch, an orange kitten curled up on her lap. Behind her is a man, who seems to be holding a cup of coffee and looking out the window. ]

Well. [ She pauses, rubbing the back of her neck. ] My father's here, but if anyone else would like to say hello or needs anything, I'm still available. He said he'll be going out for a walk in a little bit anyway.

[ As if on cue, the man pulls away from the window and heads for the kitchen. Ariadne watches him go, some of the tension gone when she looks back at the camera. ]

I'm Ariadne. Welcome to the City.

((ooc: Open for fourth walling! Please no telling her she's from a movie. Other than that, go wild~))

[ He seems to consider this before finally raising her own device up again so that he can over a polite smile to Ariadne on the other end of the connection. Kristian pulls the hat off his head before speaking. ] Hello, Ariadne.

[ He raises his eyebrows at Abi. ] Better?

Thank you, Kris.

[ He reaches up. Tweaks her nose. ]

You want to go on that walk now? See what we can see?

Okay but you can't let go of my hand.

[Which she offers.]

[ He takes it, carefully, pushing himself up to standing again. ]

And why on earth would I ever want to do something like that, huh?

I don't know! Sometimes you're tricky.

[That's not true - sometimes she's just mischief]

I don' wanna lose you.

[ Kristian snorts and gives her a little tug, first one way then the other, seeing which direction she'd rather go in. ] Then I'll do my best not to get lost. Deal?

[She tugs towards the beach - she always knows where it is.]

Deal!

[ He has an idea that might be where they're going. The water speaks to him, but only in soft whispering tones. ]

You meet any other nice people?

Not today. Last time there was a man who told me not to talk to strangers.

Well, that man was very right, Abi. [ He pats her on the head, sweetly. ]

But now you're here with me.

It's different.

[OH LOOK THE BEACH]

[ OH LOOK THE BEACH.

He picks up the pace a little, just a bit, if only because he imagines Abi will want to skip or trot or something other appropriate gesture. ]

Are you glad it's different, Abi?

Yes. I like being with you best.

[It's cold but she's from Maine, she's used to the cold. She does skip.]

I like being with you best too, Abi.

[ With the water there's more of a breeze, so he pulls the hat from his head and plonks it on her head again. ] Here, put that on. It's chilly out here, okay? Just don't let go of it. You'll be fine.

I don't want you to catch cold either.

[She looks at the sea and then back at him and holds his hand tighter]

We can just sit here, right?

[Sometimes without another seal Abi gets nervous - there might be something that wants to eat her out there, no matter how much she wants to go in]

[ There's a slight laugh. ]

Hello. Is she a friend of yours?

[ He smiles apologetically. Kristian really doesn't mean to bother anyone, especially not on a day like today. ]

She is, actually, yes. We're sort of related.
