For the week at least? After that, I think it's up to Kol and how much he and your dad want to kill each other by the end of it.

[He is her in to this family, after all.]

But we don't have anywhere to be.

[bereavements]

Okay. Let's - maybe do dinner? I can bring what you need discreetly. Maybe get to know you a little better. Your brother's here, too, right?

( Did he come to Kol's bedroom? )

[transientem]

I would like that.

[It'd be nice to bond with the members of Kol's family who are closer to her own age. They really are ancient, when you spend longer than five minutes around them.]

And yeah, he is. At least for right now. Crash may get called back to their job, and he may go with, but he's at least here through the weekend.

[bereavements]

Their?

( She doesn't begrudge anybody their identities, but the Crash she met seems very feminine. And quite British. Not that that also... defines anything. )

[transientem]

Crash is a shapeshifter and very genderfluid. Their presenting gender depends on the vibe. That look I think they call "Jolene."

[Yes, that Jolene.]

Most of them are named after famous songs. I don't think that's a shapeshifter thing, though, I think it's just a Crash thing. I've met some who default to different variations on one gender versus the other for day-to-day stuff.

[bereavements]

But Crash doesn't default, they just -- vibe.

( That actually sounds kind of cool. And to illustrate that. )

Cool. He can invite Crash, too. However they want to come.

( Nice. )

[transientem]

Cool. You pick the place, I will let them know.

[She will also ensure that they're both on their best behavior.

An alarm beeps on her phone and she sighs.]

I have to go take my meds. But I'll text you?

[bereavements]

Yeah, yeah. You can get my number from Kol.

( And at that, she will sit back with her coffee, before exploring heavier topics in about twenty minutes. )
