[ 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~))

[ 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?

[oceansjoy]

Yes. I like being with you best.

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

[landlocks]

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.

[oceansjoy]

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]

[landlocks]

I'm used to the cold. Like you, only I'm bigger so I'm more used to it than you are. Make sense?

[ When she squeezes his hand, he squeezes back and then drops down onto the sand, giving the dry rise beside him a small pat. ] Right here. Yup.

Don't worry.

[oceansjoy]

Oh.

[Not really, but he's bigger so he wins. She sits next to him and holds onto his arm]

I'mma find you a coat, Kris. I promise.
