"I think I followed that analogy," Xander said slowly, thinking it through. "Except I'm not sure that there's ever an end. And why is everything always compared to a race when we're constantly reminded that we don't need to rush through life?" He frowned thoughtfully as he mulled it over...

Xander flushed slightly and ducked his head at Daizi's words, but he didn't interrupt. She was right. It had been hard to connect with her with everything they had going against them, and he believed she loved him, but it was different to hear it out loud. Lots of people could say it, but he...

"You're a pretty awesome person," Xander remarked. "Not 'cause you're blind, and you're not an inspiration because of that, just... you. I'd bet you'd be a different person if you weren't blind, but I think you'd still be awesome. Just a different kind of awesome." He shrugged awkwardly and...

"I hadn't thought about that since I'm not really a toucher, but it does make sense." Xander paused and frowned. "Man, if I ever go blind, that would suck." He winced and glanced at Daizi. "Sorry." ~~ Alec giggled. "It's not a brain freeze. I just didn't expect it to be so cold. Yes, I...

"Fair enough," Xander agreed. "Sure. Seashells and tidepools are cool. I haven't really looked into tidepools much yet." ~~ "Agreed!" Alec said happily. "Their table is still empty. Let's go steal it!" He led the way over and first helped Dark make sure Ivy was situated and out of the...

Xander snorted at her joke about sneaking away from her husband. "Not unless it was to get a tattoo. Anyway, we usually do what I pick. What do you wanna do? Music store? Sit in the ocean? Purposefully feed seagulls?" ~~ "I guess she's found a new partner in crime," Alec said cheerfully...

Xander offered no further argument as he took hold of Daizi's cane and quickly led the way, moving as fast as he dared with someone relying on him for their sight. It took only seconds to slip out the front door, ad he guided Daizi down the street a little farther. "There. Now we're not even...

Xander blinked. "Seriously?" He glanced around. "No, but there's no one blocking the front door, and their backs are to us while they're ordering. We could easily make it out without causing a ruckus." ~~ "I still like them, but not as much," Alec said. He greeted the young man behind the...

"Sure, I know," Xander said. "It's just different out here, you know?" And he knew that once they got home, things would be different again. Eventually, Daizi would be back at work, and until then, Ivy would take precedence. He didn't mind. He just didn't know how to suggest things for the...

"Eh, it was kind of nice hanging," Xander admitted with a shrug. "Oh well. It was nearly time to rejoin, anyway." ~~ "Think small," Alec suggested. Then he pointed to the menu board. "How about the dreamsicle combo with an orange Fanta? That's what I want!"

"Someone we know just walked into the ice cream parlor." Xander heaved a sigh. "Of all the ice cream parlors, they had to pick this one." ~~ "Does it seem likely she'll wake up?" Alec asked, moving forward with the line. He looked up at the list of ice creams. "Oh, wow! That's a lot of...

Xander picked cookies and creme, nice and simple, and while he wanted to try out some of the soda options, he decided not to try to pair soda with ice cream. That just sounded like a strange combination despite the number of ice cream floats advertised around them. He led the way to a table...

There was a short line inside, which was a good thing since there was only enough for four little tables, each one with two chairs each, and a counter to order ice cream. It was small, but brightly lit and friendly feeling with just enough tchotchkes to remind the patrons that they were on a...

"That sounds disgusting," Xander said, making a face. He had no idea what kombucha was, but it didn't sound like anything he wanted to taste. "Never mind, let's just head on, yeah?" ~~ "Well, if your ancient knees can hold up, I did see this cute little cozy place yesterday while Xander and...

"Only if you want to. I thought you might like the music," Xander shrugged. "It was just on the way." He started walking again. "What was up with that finger tattoo, anyway?" ~~ Alec laughed and tried to straighten his hair. "That was surely closer to twenty, and a lot can happen in...

"I'm not sure, I think the second, but it might be the first," Xander reported. "Has a hint of hippie to the hipster, I can tell you that. Smell the incense?" ~~ Alec giggled. "I didn't think you'd remember! And besides, those nail polish fumes are intense. You can forget all kinds of...

"True, 'cause I'm not sure how we'd be able to move him if we had to," Xander remarked. "We need a rolling chair or something in case he hurts his leg or something." He slowed and remarked, "This store we're passing is a music place. It's very... hipster, I guess." ~~ "Say," Alec said...

"Nice," Xander grinned. He looked around and then tapped Daizi's arm lightly. "Turn this way. There's a tiny shop that's barely bigger than a hole in the wall. They do sodas and ice creams. I spotted it yesterday when Alec and I were exploring." After a steps, he asked, "So, are you going...

Xander snickered at the idea of the four of them playing chicken. "I dunno about chicken, but we could maybe do skydiving, I guess. I don't see Alec agreeing to that. If he did agree to go up, they'd have to kick him out of the plane. I'd go, though." He glanced around. "Want to grab some...

"That's true, it might have been," Xander snickered. He looked away as Daizi adjusted her top and turned his attention to watching the next group get on. "I think I found my new favorite sometimes sport. How about you?" ~~ Alec didn't even notice the looks. He was having fun chatting with...
