Deck | Afternoon | Sunday | April 17

So, there were kids running around the island again. Nathan could only guess that since none of them had found him and called him 'daddy' that this wasn't a repeat of what happened a few months ago. Nathan, for one, was damn fucking glad of that. He'd been a dad, fake or not, too much lately.

Since it was chillier than previous days, Nathan had the hood of his hoodie yanked up and a pair of sunglasses across his eyes while he had himself a lazy smoke on the deck. He'd thought about going up to his room to...well, he didn't know what he'd do but it didn't matter because he didn't go up.

Earlier this morning, he'd sent his mum a quick text with his answer about coming home this summer. He hadn't received a response but he wasn't too worried. She was probably off spending Jeremy's money while he had graphic fucking thoughts about his --

Ugh. He made a face and shook his head, trying to get back to just sitting there and not thinking of a single goddamn thing.

In addition to not knowing what an Irishman was, she was also incredibly trusting, although she was also quite certain that even a hundred wouldn't be a match for her father.

"I'm a girl," she told him helpfully.

"Yeah, I think I got that," Nathan chuckled, leaning forward. "You got a name or should I just call you girl? Or I could even make up a name for you. What about...Susie? Or maybe Eugenie? Orianna!"

Cara's nose got progressively more wrinkled as the names got weirder. "Cara."

"Nathan," he said, sticking the cigarette between his lips and offering her a hand. "I'm an Irishman and you're a girl and it's a pleasure to meet you, Cara."

Cara shook his hand with a seriousness that was completely undercut by her grin. "The pleasure is mine."

Oh, if Nathan only knew Cara as her older self, he'd wonder where all these manners went. Right now, it just amused him that kids could be this polite. He hadn't been anywhere near like that.

"Thanks, kid," he said, half smiling. "So, guessing by your question, you don't smoke, right? Not that I was gonna offer you a drag because I'm very particular about my cigarettes but I figure if we're getting to know each other, I should ask."
wrongkindofsith: (! Wee - Serious Cara is serious (and wee)

And if he brought it up to Cara's older self, she'd be more than happy to demonstrate how exactly those manners got lost.

Cara shook her head. Given how flowers made her sneeze, and that whole part where she was nine years old, this was probably a good thing.

"You're a shy one, aren't you?" Nathan asked, pushing his sunglasses up into his hair. "You can come sit down, you know. I won't bite."

And look at that, he refrained from making an inappropriate innuendo to a kid.

"It might be more comfortable than just standing there and admiring my beauty from afar."
