Eve shivered in her seat. Her clothes had been drenched from the rain. "Man I could go for a hot shower, and some dry clothes." She turned to Vapor rubbing the back of her head smirking. "Hate to intrude, but do you mind if I use your shower?" Eve picked up her travel pack from the ground. "I should have some clothes that are relatively dry so you don't have to worry about that."

"Oh, sure, it's upstairs," he said, pointing upwards. "It's just past Kyoto's room."

"Thanks handsome." Eve said smirking and quickly found her way to the shower. She made sure to take her time and let the hot water run down her body. She finished quickly changing into a simple black tank top and some running shorts from her pack. Eve checked herself out in the mirror above the sink and decided to pull her hair into a ponytail. Thunder roared violently outside, as she made her way downstairs. "I'm back, I hope I didn't miss anything."

After Eve had gone upstairs and the sound of the shower was heard Kyoto finally spoke.
"She seems nice," Kyoto said, before looking slyly at her uncle. Vapor blinked, not quite liking the look his niece was giving him.
"What?" he said blinking at her a few times. Kyoto sighed dramatically before giving her uncle a deadpanned look.
"Really? She's totally flirting with you!" she said, gawking at how oblivious her uncle was. He looked a bit taken aback before poking his pointer fingers together shyly.
"I don't really think-" before he could get his thoughts out there she cut him off.
"Thank goodness my papa was a romantic and I got that from him, because you and mama are peas in a pod uncle," she said, leaning her cheek against her fist. A sudden twinkle appeared in her eyes as she suddenly rested her hands on the table and stood up. Vapor leaned back a bit.
"N-Now hold on a minute," he said, the look in her eyes unnerved him. "You're eleven years old for Pete's sake, what do you know about romance?"
"I read!" she said, making a dramatic pose for effect. "Of Princesses in castles as they await their Prince!"
Vapor's eye twitched and he blew out a breath, oh the joys of living with an eleven year old. "This is reality Kyoto, not a fairy tale."
"Work with me," she said, sitting back in her chair. Fiddling with her dress the air became somber suddenly. "You could really use some happiness, what with dealing with Uncle Deluge and all..."
He clasped his hand over hers and smiled his contagious smile that had her smiling right back, despite the sudden change in mood. Giving her hand a gentle squeeze he replied gently, "I am happy Kyoto."
The conversation immediately ended once they heard the shower being turned off. They waited for Eve to return downstairs and once she did Vapor responded promptly at her question after giving Kyoto a look, "Ah, nothing much really."
OOC-Ah Vapor, you socially awkward son of a gun. And Kyoto you're eleven, what do you know of romance? Have you been seeing a boy, because if so overprotective uncle Vapor will have to have a word with him >:I

OOC: Oh Kyoto is so cute! I wish I had a niece like her.
Eve took her seat across from Vapor as the rain continued to pour outside. "Man this storm is a real bummer isn't it?" Thunder roared outside again and she winced this time. She was terrified of Thunder ever since she was a kid. She had kept her fear hidden pretty well today, but the constant strikes were beginning to get to her. "So are you hungry Kyoto? If you have the right ingredients I can make the three of us something pretty good." Eve was trying to think of anything to keep her mind off of the thunder.

Kyoto grinned broadly. "Maybe a bit, but it's also exciting!"
Just as she said this there was a loud clap of thunder that caused her to jump. Giggling she peeked out the window and watched as waves crashed against the island.
"Oh dear, you're our guest!" the girl said, looking scandalized. "It wouldn't be fair to have you cook."

"Eep!" Eve jumped out of her chair and onto the floor at this very sudden, very loud clap of thunder. She covered her ears and shook slightly as the sound quickly quieted. Eve soon realized what she had just and jumped back onto her own two feet just as quickly as jumped out of the chair. Her face was red with embarrassment. She hated showing her weakness to thunder especially in front of people. "I.... that.... it wasn't...." She stammered trying to make an excuse as to why she did what she just did, her face growing ever redder as she continued trying to speak.

Both of them watched as Eve fell out of the chair and onto the floor in shock. Both stood up to see what they could do to help but she was already back on her feet.
"Are you alright?" Vapor asked gently. Kyoto looked out the window for a moment and watched as more lighting lit up the skies in the distance, after a moment a far quieter rumble of thunder sounded.
"Miss Eve, are you afraid of thunder?" the girl inquired carefully.

Eve looked down at the ground twiddling her fingers. "Y-yeah I'm alright, thanks for you concern Vapor." As she spoke quieter thunder was heard rumbling across the sky. She closed her eyes tight trying to keep her mind away from the sound, even if it was distant it still frightened her to no end. Eve eyed Kyoto as she asked her question. "I-I'm a little afraid of t-thunder yes." Her face turned an even brighter shade of red expressing her fear to the duo.

She seemed more than just a little afraid. What with the way she jumped out of the chair like that.
"Oh, I've got an idea!" she ran back upstairs quickly before coming back down with an ornate music box. "I don't know if this'll help, but when I was really little and I'd get scared of the dark and stuff, papa and mama would always wind this up and play it for me."
Opening the lid carefully the little girl began to turn the knob before sitting it on the table. Slowly a gently melody began to play from the music box as a faint glow enveloped the music box and little lights fluttered from inside. It was something her papa had made, a strange little thing that held his magic inside. Those were where the little lights came from, his magic. It always soothed her and still did today.

Eve looked at the tiny box mesmerized. The song was beautiful as were the light coming from inside. She felt.... relieved listening to the tiny music box. "This is beautiful Kyoto.... thank you." She closed the lid to the box and handed it back to her smiling pulling Kyoto into a hug. "I should be fine now, at least for awhile now." Eve stood up and stretched her arms. "Now how about we cook some food."

"You're welcome," the little girl chirped. Her eyes widened a bit as she was pulled into the hug and she smiled faintly, returning it. Grinning she nodded walking towards the kitchen. "There isn't much here, but there might be enough to make a meal. We really need to go shopping Uncle Vapor."
"Does tomorrow sound good?" Vapor asked, an easy grin on his face. The blond girl nodded happily before turning back to Eve.
"What would you like to make Miss Eve?"

"Anything sounds good right now." Eve began rummaging through the shelves in the kitchen. "Man you weren't kidding when you guys said you didn't have much." She turned to Vapor smirking. "How about the big man of the house goes out and gets some fish. What do you say Kyoto?" Eve leaned against the counter still smirking. "Want to make your uncle go catch some fish?"

"Hehe, yeah!" Kyoto smiled sweetly casting puppy dog eyes towards her uncle. It was like an arrow to the heart, except it didn't actually hurt, but it certainly made him do whatever she requested. Oh, how little of a spine he had around her. He stood up and walked over, ruffling Kyoto's hair affectionately before grabbing a hold of the handle to the front door.
"I'll see what I can get."

"Ah the beauty of being a woman. You use those puppy dog of yours and you can make any boy turn to butter, of course that changes when those same boys become men..... Then they only want one thing." She mumbled that last bit under her breath. "Of course you'll learn all about that when you become an adult." Eve looked back in the cabinets. "Ooooo." She pulled out a bag of rice and can of curry powder. "You like spicy food Kyoto? We could spice up the fish and rice with some curry."
