Natalie's Apartment, Port-au-Prince, Haiti, Saturday

Well, this was one way of recuperating from any work stress that may have been happening, as well as the stress of wondering whether some birthday gifts had been a good idea. How had Natalie not thought of this before?

Oh, right. It was because turning into an eight-year-old wasn't exactly within her usual abilities. And wasn't something she would've chosen, anyway. But here it was. She'd gone to bed a young woman in her late teens, and woken up a kid. She'd still gotten up at around the same time, but then she'd put on her fake glasses and started on a different kind of day. One that – as Peter would probably be thankful for – was unlikely to involve going outside the apartment much. Or at all. There was plenty to explore right here! And, there was Mr. Moxy. And Natalie knew you had to take good care of pets, and she'd never had one, and she was going to take advantage of a situation where she could care for one.

Mr. Moxy, of course, couldn't muster up being confused by this turn of events. He was a Fandom cat, these things happened. As long as he was getting fed, he was fine.

"So, we go for ice cream if you promise not to look at the pictures on your phone?" Jim said. It was probably the most parental he'd get with her. He just didn't want to scar her or have her calling her parents and asking her what the pictures were.
pursuedthestars: ([hap] easy as pie)

Yes well, better safe than sorry!

"You want me to make a trip out there with ice cream?" he asked, amused.

Jim snickered.

"I'll come bring you ice cream, if you want. I'm not doing anything right now. I'll just have to get the ice cream."
pursuedthestars: ([hap] all smiles)

[personal profile] pursuedthestars 2013-11-17 04:26 pm (UTC)(link)
"Okay. I'll go get you some ice cream and come visit," Jim promised, already getting up. "Can you let the guys downstairs know I'm coming?"
pursuedthestars: ([hap] casual)

"Thank you. I'll see you in a little while, Natalie."

He hung up the phone and shook his head. And then it was off to get some ice cream and some candy for her before he headed to Haiti.
pursuedthestars: ([hap] awesome)

Jim rounded up two tubs of strawberry ice cream, some sprinkles, and even got a few cat treats for Moxy before catching a portal to Haiti.

When the security guys asked after Natalie, he told them she had a cold and was losing her voice. They seemed to accept that and they let him up.

He knocked on the door and waited.
pursuedthestars: ([hap] yay!)

[personal profile] pursuedthestars 2013-11-17 05:42 pm (UTC)(link)
Jim looked down and smirked.

"Hey, Natalie," he said, nodding. "And Moxy. Can I come in? I got the ice cream."
pursuedthestars: ([hap] cheese it)

[personal profile] pursuedthestars 2013-11-17 05:57 pm (UTC)(link)
"Wow, you are scary polite," he said, stepping inside. "You don't have to act like I'm a king or something. Loosen up a little."
pursuedthestars: ([neu] back home)

[personal profile] pursuedthestars 2013-11-17 06:09 pm (UTC)(link)
"Yeah, but we're friends," he told her, looking down. "You don't need to treat me any differently. Just hang out with me."
pursuedthestars: ([hap] daww)

[personal profile] pursuedthestars 2013-11-17 06:21 pm (UTC)(link)
"Who's Todd?" Jim asked, making his way into the kitchen because he had ice cream that needed to be either eaten or put in the freezer. "Never heard that name before."
pursuedthestars: ([neu] look at me)

[personal profile] pursuedthestars 2013-11-17 06:33 pm (UTC)(link)
"You've never mentioned him before," Jim said, thoughtful. He got a treat out for Moxy and put it near the cat on the ground. "Where's he at?"
pursuedthestars: ([hap] well enough)

[personal profile] pursuedthestars 2013-11-17 06:46 pm (UTC)(link)
Jim settled a few more treats down for Moxy before searching through some cabinets for bowls for the ice cream.

"Sounds like a cool dude." Well, he didn't know what else to say there. "He called you today?"
