[ Video/Action | Open ] Rosh Hashanah

Who: Kitty Pryde and YOU!
Broadcast: Video, open
Action: Iskaulit, feel free to run into her
When: Nowish!

[Kitty is on screen looking much more feminine than last time.]

Does anyone have any apples or honey or anything close to either from the last stop? I was...just thinking about it today. [Softer.] Not that I even know how to tell when sundown is in space.

[But she knows it's close to Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish new year, but nailing down a date would take calculating she can't do based on a moon that's not even here. She's not really a religious person and has some definite issues with god especially after everything she's been through back home, but the traditions remind her of better times when she was young with her family. She didn't think about it much in the last place because they didn't run off of a calendar she was familiar with, but here it brings back memories.]

Anyway, I'd trade for some if you do. We'll work something out.

Leshana tovah. [She's wishing people a good year in Hebrew, but she doesn't bother explaining the meaning.]

[ oh.

he's got nothing to say to that, not really.

it makes him worry for her and feel worthless and small and weak and less. ]

...wanna ask Kara to tag along? [ it's mostly a joke, but yeah now he's worrying about her. if she's worried that's gotta mean there's a reason to worry, right? ]

[She wasn't worried for herself. Just him. She meant "overly" protective girlfriend before.] No. It'll be okay. Hank and Charles believe in him. I want to.

And it's a good way to start the new year.

[She strokes his cheek.] I'm sorry, I didn't mean to make you worry. [She definitely didn't mean to make him feel weak and less and she doesn't realize that it did. She still struggles with the balance of not treating humans—especially the untrained—as ill-equipped.]

[ he trusts hank. he trusts kitty. he nods. ]

Hey, how do you say 'I love you' in Hebrew?

[ he's gonna worry now, so he really doesn't have a comeback for that one. ]

[She smiles softly at him. Even when she messes up she loves this man so much. She may not trust him around a potential superbattle, but she has so much respect for everything else about him.]

I would say ani ohevet otcha. And you would say ani ohev otach. [She says this last bit slower for him.]

[ he doesn't trust himself around a potential superbattle either. he doesn't trust himself around a potential regular old battle. he can barely make it through a training session with jim without getting his ass handed to him.

he listens carefully, trying to memorize the sounds. ]

Ani ohev otach, Kitty Pryde. [ kissing her forehead. and yeah, all those made up language studying sure is helping him with the dreaded 'ch' sound. he still doesn't get it right. don't worry, he'll keep practicing! ]

[He's just definitely not "less" to her because of it. Winn is always the most where's she's concerned. Listening to him tell her he loves her in Hebrew right now is more touching than she she would have guessed. She has to draw a slow breath to keep herself from being more emotional than she's comfortable with.]

Ani ohevet otcha, Winn Schott. [She rests her head on his shoulder and hugs him tightly.]

[ he's less to himself. but this - this he can do. let her teach him a language that means so much to her. he holds her tightly, smiling. ]

It has a great ring to it.

[She's actually better at Russian, since she was able to converse in it with someone regularly, but Hebrew does mean more to her. Her grandfather taught her the first words she knew in it.]

It does, doesn't it? I'm glad I'm going to start the new year with you. [She hopes she finishes it with him too. It's too far into the future to dare looking but she hopes to see him there if she could.]

[ he will learn any language for her. ]

Me too.

[ he's still counting on that new year's kiss at midnight. it feels like so long ago when he blurted the idea and freaked her out and now...they're almost there. if he has any say in the matter, they'll finish every year together. ]

We're gonna have a good one.

[No freaking out now. Of course she wants to kiss him on that New Year's Eve too. Not that she wouldn't kiss him for this one!] Yeah? I think you might be right. Mostly because you're going to be there.

I'm definitely right, [ he smiles, a smug little smile ] I'm kind of brilliant, you know.

At the risk of this going straight to your head. You are decidedly brilliant.

Please, my head's still high on itself for getting you to kiss me in that supply closet.

I still don't know how I managed to stop kissing you in that supply closet. I wanted to kiss you in your cargo bay before that.

[ if only he wasn't wearing his kiss-blocking cardigan. it's a painful reminder of reid. does he still remind her of him? he has to wonder. ]

I was so confused when you left. [ chuckling at his own cluelessness. ]

[She had already forgotten what stopped her or she wouldn't have brought it up. There are times when a situation reminds her of something that happened with Reid or Piotr. Usually if it's something she's worried is a warning sign, but that has more to do with PTSD than missing them. She sees Winn when she looks at Winn.]

Had to keep you on your toes. [She leans in to kiss him now.] Making up for lost time.

[ he returns the kiss lovingly. ]

I'm always on my toes. [ usually, it's to get things off high shelves. he smiles. ] Should we cut the apple a particular way?

Into tiny Christmas tree shapes. I know. It's not what you'd think. [Teasing.]

[ he looks at her for a moment, before nodding. ]

Challenge accepted. I hope you have a lot of these cuz it's gonna take some practice rounds -

[She laughs, leaning in to kiss him.] Maybe when we aren't working on borrowed apples. Slices are fine.

Aye aye, Captain!

[ he salutes and slices an apple, and fetches a little bowl for the honey. ]

Do we...say something?

Yes, you have to talk about how pretty and smart and great I am. [Sorry. Did you want her to take this seriously?]

So every year at this time, all the jews of the world get together to discuss the wonder that is Kitty Pryde?

[ he pauses, then nods, super serious. ]

I buy it.

[She smiles warmly. Lovingly.]

Exactly right. Besides, me and got aren't really on speaking terms so I'm not that worried about ceremony. [Which is going to be a little uneven and random since the tradition has meaning for her, but only as her family practiced it. But for now the apples and honey are enough.]

I was always of the 'if he's there, he's got too much to do to care about ceremonies' mind.

[ okay he's more of the 'if there's life above the sky it's just aliens' mind but it never hurts to keep an open mind, right?

he hands her a slice of apple, picks one up himself, and clinks them as if they were glasses. ]

You are unbelievably beautiful, smart, and great. Happy new year.
