[Midlandia] Just One Note

[A series of events occurred which were incredibly important and ultimately life changing.

But frankly her attention span was always rather limited. What really mattered above all else was that she and Nathan were free, and it didn't require Vergil's scolding or leaving the country. They had been adopted into this pack with considerably minimal fuss. They had a roof, food, and a way to get to and from school. The best part was that there was no one to hit her anymore, no more getting thrown left and right into walls or furniture, and Nathan no longer had to hear all the yelling and insults. They could be living in a high class sewer and Nariko would still be happy.

And while she'd made her gratuity very clear to the Alpha she's been otherwise quite normal! Nariko had survived the state of things because she knew how to control herself, how to present properly. So ever since they'd been given their space she'd gone about meeting everyone she could, being both agreeable and fun, while Nathan clung to her side the whole time.

Lately, though, he's been feeling a little more like himself. On this particular day she's sprawled all over the couch while Nathan watches some movie directly in front of her. If she's supposed to give a single crap about her tiny shorts or tank top then ... Actually, no, why would she? It hasn't occurred to Nariko to dress or act differently, especially because there's so many women. Besides, she's kind of idly watching it with him or occasionally toying with her phone, and really she'd practically beg for something fun to do. Ugh.]

[ Aside from the two older men who had progeny in the pack, Basara was the oldest man around at somewhere in his mid to late twenties. He as tall, muscular, and had a beard that he sometimes tried to keep in order and often didn't. He worked out all the time, and when that wasn't the case he was trying to look out for everyone else or searching for a job on top of the schooling he was doing. He felt bad about blowing time with said schooling. Still, the big man did relax sometimes, and this was one of those times.

But it wasn't involving TV or reading or video games or whatever.

No, he was meditating on the floor of the living room, legs crossed and eyes closed, just sort of zoning out. What do ]

I SEARCHED SO MANY BEARDY GUYS assume he looks a little more asian tbh

[ Girl he's meditating, he's one with the universe and all that shit. So he's not staring at you now, rather, he's still got his eyes closed and is doing controlled breathing. He keeps himself centered and he is still keeping it up even if she's there or not. He doesn't seem to acknowledge her. ]

okay awesome

[ It did not.

... But he was able to keep his zen and not really react much at first, but the physical contact did make him stir some, and he opens one eye and asks, ]


Did you need something?

[ he didn't sound gruff or sarcastic, just sort of genuinely asking in a really sort of direct way ]

[personal profile] masabros 2016-08-07 05:11 am (UTC)(link)
I was surprised that you got along with them so fast. Plus I wasn't really staring, just watching you guys before dinner.

[ He answers her evenly, sincere in his answer. There's no real deeper meaning in it unless you want to read into his surprise at the fact they were fast friends. Or maybe you wanted to to question if he was looking at her. But all the same, he does open the other eye so he can make eye contact proper with her. His meditation was broken anyway. ]

[ At this, Basara smiles, more smirks? No, it's a smile, it just seems slightly n the wild side. The older man knows he's probably approaching twice her age, but all the same, ages are weird in a pack, when everyone except generally the Alpha is inherently even. The man smiles and responds ]

You're very attractive for your age, and you're only going to grow more attractive. If those two boys keep is up with you, they're lucky. But I'm not a voyeur, sorry to give that impression.

[ That said, he was leaving the door open, in his response ]

Well, someone has to be - and I figured that I would be pretty good at it the first time Haruki did something too stupid to get out of himself. [ Basara shakes his head, resting his hands on his lap ] I'm not too good to be true though, like if we're talking kinks I get told I'm too rough all the time. So don't worry, I'm not deceiving you or anything - but I do worry about them, and about you, so I'm hoping it turns out okay.

[ Maybe he's talking down to her, but he's trying to be a straight shooter here. ]

[ Cutting to the heart of it he says, ]

Even if I don't know you well yet, you and Nathan are both family, and concern's not finite. If you ever have problems that none of the adults can fix or you're too embarrassed to say, I can help you. Or at least I'll do my best.

[ But that said, he nods ]

There's worse ways it could happen, but maybe I'm hoping for a better way for it to happen.

[ And there are some people who complain abut it being to rough. ]

[personal profile] masabros 2016-08-07 06:04 am (UTC)(link)
Not really, honestly. But I expect us to prove that to you with enough time.

[ the fact of the matter is that Yori made the decision to take them in, and everyone in this pack would abide by her order. Everyone loved and respected Yori. And if Yori had any sort of untoward intentions... well, he didn't know them. But he was at least sincerely concerned about her and Nathan. Both kids were so skittish in their own ways, he couldn't help it. Even if they weren't now "family," with this perspective and opinion, it would remain the same ]

They're still young - hell, you are too, even if your body and your experiences are different - but they've been loved this whole time, they probably take it for granted. But when someone isn't in that position, the whole things strange. [ A beat ] I was born here, so I can't empathize. But I do sympathize.

[ And that's as close to understanding as he gets. He doesn't want to stay that he gets it, not entirely. He's never been in a pack or a household that was unkind. He's known the world to be unkind at times, but he still had a place to return to, and so even if he has an adult's perspective and he can be pretty sure that he gets it, he doesn't want to be arrogant and say he can understand.

And he has to trust that she gets what he means. He does try to be direct. ]

[personal profile] masabros 2016-08-07 06:46 am (UTC)(link)
[ Basara, for his part, hugs her back. He's not really necessarily the most sentimental or even the warmest of huggers, but she seems to want this, or need this, and so he does. Besides, he should get to know his new "sister" better than he currently dos, particularly if he's going to be arrogant and say he was concerned about her. Sure it was true, but it's not like he shouldn't try to prove that too.

His beard brushes her a little. ]

[personal profile] masabros 2016-08-07 06:54 am (UTC)(link)
[ He seems to consider that a moment - both her question/statement and if he should ask he to move. She seems to be getting comfortable though so he lets it slide. And after a fair moment of thought he finally answers, ]

Not that I've gotten complaints about. But they could be being nice.
masabros: (Basara-1)

[personal profile] masabros 2016-08-07 12:49 pm (UTC)(link)
No, but they can hold it back and be polite after the fact. Some people feel like they have to, like it's how it makes sense to handle a partner. [ But she's right that not ... exactly a lot or anything. The bearded man hums a bit and he brushes a little on her as well. He exhales, and he wanted to...

She wanted to...

He shouldn't assume either way, but he responds, ]


Whoever wants to, yeah - you can.
masabros: (Basara-4)

[personal profile] masabros 2016-08-08 02:52 am (UTC)(link)
[ What an interesting question to go to. It's a fair one though, and he actually allows himslf a long momnt to consider it. In the end, what he comes up with is, ]

The pack's not really had a younger woman in it to have kids other than Linda in a while, so I'm not sure anyone's thought that far other than maybe Yori-san. And I'm sure Yori-san would trust that anyone she let in the pack could confidently make their own choices on that front, even if they are young. And if you decide to go for it or it just happens, they'll probably support you.

[ But he can't promise it entirely, hence the qualifier ]

Besides, that a risk with a lot of sex.
