Alexis Carr has posed:
    There was a small park in the Village, the bastion of the arts and sciences.

    And there, on the streetside, there was a violinist playing, beneath the cover of a closed breakfast counter's ample awning. Her hair was carefully braided and coiled, hidden beneath a hat. Gone was her usual dramatic makeup, replaced by a little lipgloss and neutral eyeshadow. She wore a simple, black jacket over a plain black T-shirt, her jeans hugging her body. Her violin case as on the ground in front of her, with some pocket change and spare cash dropped inside.

    The only sign on it was a carefully etched 'Tips Accepted' as she plays.

    She uses her talents, making use of stops to make it sound a duet, harmonies and disharmonies alike clinging to the wooden body of the violin.

    Alexis Carr, the unknown, played what her heart was feeling.

Samuel Guthrie has posed:
Sam Guthrie is out walking through the streets. The young man needing time to think. He wanted a place he would not run into to many people he knew, and here seemed like a good place. So today Sam is walking along the street stopping and looking at a jewelry shop, a bit of a sad smile showing for a moment. He hears the music but does not look for it right now, just feeling it somewhere deep.

Alexis Carr has posed:
    The sorrowful music had been composed by a man in mourning, who had lost the love of his life, and was being played by someone who felt that pain. Her eyes were closed, working a different section of town than what she was used to. People here had more money, but with more tourists came inevitably warnings off and whispered accusations. The bags under her eyes didn't do anything to dissuade them from whispering that she must be some kind of junkie.

    She played on. Her heart hurt, her soul wavered, and she needed just... something.

Samuel Guthrie has posed:
Sam Guthrie will walk along and he comes across the musician. He does not look her over though. He drops a little bit of money in the cup, and continues on just a bit. He will turn looking down the street and hmms. He will step inside the nearest restaurant for a moment and makes a decent sized order waiting near the door for it.

Alexis Carr has posed:
    Maybe it was the passing feeling. Maybe a tug on her heartstring. Maybe the slightest catch of his scent tickling her nose, but Alexis Carr could feel her heart grow a little heavier, and she exhales, trailing off the last notes to the applause of a few -- and she leans down, picking up the bills and pocketing some of the change before she packs it in, and heads for the same restaurant, cheerily walking in.

    "Allo Brit! I'll hop a seat at the bar if that's all right?"

Samuel Guthrie has posed:
Sam Guthrie will stiffen a bit as he hears the voice. He turns eyes catching hers. He will nod to her in greeting. He has a soda in front of him. "Um.. hey.." He will say to her and seems unsure what he should say. He does seem surprised to see her though.

Alexis Carr has posed:
    Alexis turns a moment to regard the gent speaking to her -- and almost jumps right out of her skin!

    "/Sam/!" she states, and she blinks a moment, straightening up, and she points at him. "... I can tell by the surprise that you didn't plan this."

Samuel Guthrie has posed:
Sam Guthrie looks to her, and a moment his eyes do move to her throat checking something. He looks back to her eyes and says "Yea, Ah just needed to walk a bit and seemed like a pretty god place to come out and about. The young man will motion to a seat next to him "Have a seat, Ah am waiting on an order then should be out of ya hair.

Alexis Carr has posed:
    There is, indeed, a chain at her neck, but whatever charm she's wearing is beneath the shirt.

    Alexis hops onto the bar, feeling incredibly small next to Sam.

    "So... I.. feel like I owe you an explaination, or an apology, but for once I'm very much lost for words."

Samuel Guthrie has posed:
Sam Guthrie looks to her and shrugs a bit to her "What is there to say?" He asks her. "Ah like ya and think your worth getting to know and making sure your ok. " He looks back over to her. "Your not ready for some things. " He does not say what things respecting her not letting out "When your ready, Ah hope you will contact me and let me help."

Alexis Carr has posed:
    "I can think of a couple of things I was ready for." the teen quietly replies as she turns an eye up to Sam, then exhales as she fiddles with a fork and spoon on a napkin.

    "There was some wild accusations made up on the rooftop that evening. And I apologize for that."

Samuel Guthrie has posed:
Sam Guthrie looks to her and at the comment, he will look deep into her eyes. He will reach up to cup her face "A," he says to not give away which name she is using "Ah like you and want to be there to help you face things. Ah aint got much money, or fame, but Ah will be there for you in any way ya let me." He leans in towards her.

Alexis Carr has posed:
    "And to be honest, I've certainly had pleanty of both in my lifetime... would it be so bad for me to fade into obscurity?" she asks, leaning her cheek slightly agianst his hand, just enjoying the very human touch.

Samuel Guthrie has posed:
Sam Guthrie rests his head to hers, and says "It is a chose you must make. I want to help, but well we seen what happens when I try to force you to. For that I am sorry." his voice is low but heart felt. His thumb strokes across her cheek, and says "But no matter your choice you seem the type to be yourself and be out front for what you believe in.'

Alexis Carr has posed:
    "And if I go with you? What then? I don't know where you live. I don't know so much about you, or the people you say you help." she states, and closes her dark eyes. "And that scares me, Sam. Do I really know who you are, now that you know my life?"

Samuel Guthrie has posed:
Sam Guthrie looks to her, and says "Well Ah will be honest with you, where Ah normally live, Ah normally can't take you at least not yet. Not till your ready to take that last step." He looks to her, and says "But Ah am willing to get a place, two bedrooms and we can work together to make our way there. It would not be a great place, but Ah will make sure you have a roof over your head, and food to eat. Ah will help you find your place in everyway you will let me. And before you ask, no Ah don't expect you to do anything your would not want to, if you feel like helping with the bills, I will not complain." He smiles a bit.

Alexis Carr has posed:
    "Sam, you can't be serious." Allegra replies quietly, and she exhales outwards. "You can't just up and... I mean you're not even sure I am..." she trails off and then covers her mouth a moment, as if it would fall out.

Samuel Guthrie has posed:
Sam Guthrie nods, and says "Ah am pretty sure, but thats why we would have to find our own places for now. When sure, well things can improve, but that is not totally up to me, but if you are of if you aint, does that change how Ah feel? No. You are a strong women, who will face down the devil himself for what she believes in, the only thing is you need to believe in yourself more.

Alexis Carr has posed:
    "And what do I beleive in, Sam? The fear? That mutants can smell one another? That mutants with weaponizable powers should be bred by force and ones with useless powers culled?" she whispers, "... do I believe that there is a chance for this world, for peace between everyone?" she breathes out, and just leans her head forward, and lets her forehead thump on his chest.

    "I'm really a horrible person. I don't know how you can consider living with me."

Samuel Guthrie has posed:
Sam Guthrie looks to her and says "You believe man should be good to man. You believe those who need help should be able to get it. You believe that man or woman does not deserve to be hurt or killed because of the happenstance of their birth, and you believe in family which makes all of this even harder on you.

Alexis Carr has posed:
    "Good God, I'm Italian. If I didn't believe in family I would have to give up the citizenship!" Alexis accuses gently, and she breathes out, tilting her head back a moment and shakes her head.

    "... you must have been at this rescuing business for a long time, because you're terribly good at reading people."

Samuel Guthrie has posed:
Sam Guthrie smiles and says "A few years, but Ah think that might be from before that. Where Ah was brought up, you learned to judge people on their actions, and know who you could trust with your back. You don't want to be in the mines and look to your buddy and says "You hear that, and all you see is ass and heels."

Alexis Carr has posed:
    "That... sounds like a bad time." Alexis admits, blinking a moment at the comparrison, and she cracks a little smile. "Well... I am certainly glad to have you at my back." Alexis states gently, and she leans up, pressing her thighs to the barstool she's on, and presses a little kiss to Sam's chin.

Samuel Guthrie has posed:
Sam Guthrie will move to lightly lower her head to kiss her if she does not flinch away. He is gentle with her but will stand to step closer, and hold her if she is ok with the kiss.

Alexis Carr has posed:
    Alexis blushes as Sam moves in, her fingers curling lightly against his arms, and she bows her head slightly -- Sam would get a mouth full of hat to kiss on her head in a protective fashion.

    "When I'm ready... if I ever get there... I will let you know."

Samuel Guthrie has posed:
Sam Guthrie smirks a bit and says "Ok." He will smile at her not seeming upset about the they hear "Guthrie." and he looks over and there is a cardboard box with about a dozen small bags and drinks.

Alexis Carr has posed:
    "... who are you ordering for? Family in town?" Alexis inquires politely.

    "Aand your usual, Carr." comes another box, with three big bags and a jug of water. Alexis's lips press together in a thin line, and she flushes pink.

Samuel Guthrie has posed:
Sam Guthrie shakes his head, and says "Want to walk with me a bit?' He will ask her as he pays for the food The bill is decent but not horrible bad.

Alexis Carr has posed:
    "Sure." Alexis replies, and she grabs her box, and flips on a pair of sunglasses as she pays for hers, and leaves a tip, shoulders her box, and goes to hold the door for Sam.

Samuel Guthrie has posed:
Sam Guthrie will carry his box with him, and starts walking down the street, as they come an alley he stops, and looks down it to a couple "Hey you guys, come get a bag and a cup." He nods tot he box. The men seem cautious as if not sure to believe him or not "Hey, if ya want it come and grab 1 each, I got more to give out and they will end up coming and getting one each thanking Sam.

Alexis Carr has posed:
    Alexis gives a slight grin, and she opens one of her bag. Donuts. She begins to hand those out as well.

    "So, I thought you delivered pizzas?" she asks, jokingly to Sam as she hands out doughnuts

Samuel Guthrie has posed:
Sam Guthrie smies and as they walk along he says "Well, I was walking along and saw some people that needed help." He will come up next to a van with curtains in the winows., and knocks on the door to it. A little girl will look out and says "Can I talk to your Ma." The door will open and a woman who looks like she has had a rough few nights steps out. Sam hands her the box, and says "For you and the wee ones ma'am She will look shocked and says 'um Thanks you but why. " Sam will just offer her a smile and says "You and the littles looked like you could use a hand ma'am, and well we all need a hand once in a while so Ah was taught if you can help, you should."

Alexis Carr has posed:
    Alexis looks up at Sam, and actually does whisper "Oh God, are you for real?" before the van opens, and Allegra just feels her heart break, and she just smiles, and hands off the second paper bag in its entirety to one of the kids, but doesn't talk. She feels like her throat's closed up -- unoppertune for a singer!

Samuel Guthrie has posed:
Sam Guthrie is hugged by the woman and hugs her back and as she is thanking him, he just tells her "It is ok ma'am, I wish I could do more." He thinks about it a moment, and says "Call this number, they might be able to help you find some work and watch the little ones." He tells her. The woman hugs him again and Sam will disengage himself, and walks on with Alexis "What ya mean?'

Alexis Carr has posed:
    "Just, you show up out of nowhere. You fly. You're indestructable if you're turned on, you rescue people and then you just randomly come out and do this?" Alexis whispers, then rubs the back of head a moment, and exhales.

    "This isn't something out of 'It's a Wonderful Life', where at the end it ends up you're some sort of angel to teach me the errors of my way?"

Samuel Guthrie has posed:
Sam Guthrie blushes a bit and rubs the back of his neck "Na, if it was that they would have cast my brother, he has the wings and the voice." He smiles a bit and sounds like he might be serious. He seems tempted to say something but just smiles "So, what would you like to do this evening Miss A?

Alexis Carr has posed:
    "I'm... afraid I should get back home." Allegra states quietly, demuring a little back. "My father's coming home from a trip this evening. If I'm not there to greet him, I'm sure he'll be curious." she replies quietly, "But... I haven't lost your number."

Samuel Guthrie has posed:
Sam Guthrie nods, and looks to her, and nods. He will reach to take her into his arms, and hugs her gently. "Think about what Ah said, and let me know. Ah will look into some places and see what Ah can find. Within two hours of the city sound ok?"

Alexis Carr has posed:
    Allegra gives a smile, and hugs against Sam.

    "I will consider it... but... let me talk to my grandparents" she states, "I might be able to cover some of the bills." she replies gently, and then she gives a little huff, reaches up to ruffle Sam's hair (which makes her go up to her toes) -- and then goes to hop onto the nearest subway.
