Oct. 25th, 2008 11:30 pmThe door opens from Te Papa onto the Wellington waterfront as a Spring twilight is just starting to change the colors in the sky.
Tiwa steps through first and then steps behind James and taking him and turning him towards the water and says quietly in his ear,
"Haere Mai Te Whanga-nui-a-Tara."

He turns to her, her breath tickling his ear.
"What's that mean?" he asks.
no subject
Date: 2008-10-26 03:47 am (UTC)"Welcome to Wellington, its old name means the great harbour of Tara. Can get closer to the water, don't think its going to rain for a bit."
no subject
Date: 2008-10-26 03:53 am (UTC)Then he nods.
"Yeah - let's get closer to the water."
no subject
Date: 2008-10-26 03:55 am (UTC)Though there's quotes and pretty things on the way, but he's distracting so she's slightly forgetful as a jogger heads towards them.
no subject
Date: 2008-10-26 04:08 am (UTC)"Sorry -" he calls out to the jogger, before he runs past them and away.
"You ought to watch where you're going," he tells her, raising an eyebrow.
no subject
Date: 2008-10-26 04:10 am (UTC)"Sorry, just...got caught by the sky I guess."
This isn't fair, she can feel his warmth and he's right there.
no subject
Date: 2008-10-26 04:17 am (UTC)"Haven't seen it in a while?" he jokes, turning to glance up at the sky as well.
no subject
Date: 2008-10-26 04:20 am (UTC)"Never seen it quite this color in a while."
no subject
Date: 2008-10-26 04:28 am (UTC)Which - yeah.
Um.
Makes him a little more nervous than he ought to be.
no subject
Date: 2008-10-26 04:30 am (UTC)Though she sort of likes it but it won't come to anything,
"Just been a pretty Spring is all and you're on the other side of the world after all. Hopefully it'll stay clear and after the movie can show you the Southern Cross."
no subject
Date: 2008-10-26 04:38 am (UTC)(Such as the tension.)
The grin does help.
no subject
Date: 2008-10-26 04:41 am (UTC)"Constellation, can only see it on this side of the world."
To try and keep herself from doing something stupid, Tiwa puts her hands in her jacket pockets, she must have something in there she can fidget with.
no subject
Date: 2008-10-26 04:54 am (UTC)He glances back up at the sky briefly, then back at her.
"That would be cool," he says, smiling. "Especially if it's something you can't see anywhere else but here."
no subject
Date: 2008-10-26 04:55 am (UTC)Her grin slips easily into a smile when he looks at her,
"They say that if you're out in the middle of the Pacific, if you can find the Southern Cross, can find your way home."

Date: 2008-10-26 05:05 am (UTC)As the sun goes down, the light from the sunset starts to hit them as it comes over the hills and its the water, turning the glitter on Tiwa into reds and purples.
no subject
Date: 2008-10-26 05:17 am (UTC)"And neither do you," he notices, half raising his hand towards her cheek where the glitter glows in fantastic colours. He can really see how otherworldly she is.
no subject
Date: 2008-10-26 05:22 am (UTC)"Have to be careful, I'm all full of magic."
no subject
Date: 2008-10-26 05:24 am (UTC)no subject
Date: 2008-10-26 05:26 am (UTC)Her smile just grows and turns into a grin.
no subject
Date: 2008-10-26 05:34 am (UTC)"All right," he starts, and he seems to be back to normal, no longer affected by the beauty of the sunset. "So what'll you be showing me first?"
no subject
Date: 2008-10-26 05:36 am (UTC)"Sushi, I think. This way."
Then she turns away from the water and heads back the museum though they do pass a marble quote that can just been that says I live at the edge of the universe like everyone else.
no subject
Date: 2008-10-26 10:41 pm (UTC)"That's an interesting quote," he says off-handedly. "Sort of relates to everyone who's been to Milliways at some point."
no subject
Date: 2008-10-26 11:08 pm (UTC)They walk by the theater that looks rather English and to a big street, there is a crosswalk but Tiwa is keeping an eye on the cars.
no subject
Date: 2008-10-26 11:14 pm (UTC)James looks forward.
"Is it far from here?" he asks. He would like to come back to this area and look around.
