Road Stories [Norah/Ki]

[Norah Byron]

[norah]"Don't even try to play that off," Norah laughed and stretched out one leg across the narrow gap between the chair she was in and the foldout sofa where Malaki sat and nudged his knee with her bare toes. The RV that Lorica traveled in was a large one, but was still a notably small space to live your life in. Norah had actual for-realsies fantasies about those Winnebago Tour 42s, the ones that were ten feet longer than the used model they were in and included an actual master bath and decent-sized galley. Or, God help her, an actual entertainer coach built on a bus chassis. But the label reps all got very vague whenever they asked about stuff like that, so it was going to have to wait until at least the new album came out and they saw the numbers.

Until then, they all stayed packed into the used Coachmen Cross-Country and made do. Like today, when Luke was napping on the bed that was usually Norah's, Doro was riding up front with his brother, Peter and Alec were riding in the plain white cargo van that held the wiring equipment and was generally called 'the rape van' by the crew, and Norah was hanging out with Malaki, not believing his stories.

"You slept with her," she persisted with a grin. "You completely and definitely slept with her. High school senior or not." Ki was traveling with them for a week or two while he healed up a bad concussion and, in a development springing from the same incident, waited to see whether a warrant for kidnapping that he'd picked up in Kansas City was going to stick. Unfortunate that there had been fingerprints involved, but they were still monitoring the sites to see whether he'd drop to 'person of interest' once the autopsy on the vampire he'd taken out was complete. Norah loved it when Ki traveled with them, watching him work his way through the fangirls was a thing of beauty and he was an extra hand in security that she actually trusted, a hard thing for her to find these days. Plus, he was hilarious, as evidenced by his current story. "I just want to know whether you knew it before or after."[/norah]

The man didn't actually know how to make such a face and a moment later his vampiric features settled back into that shit-eaters grin that everyone knew him for. His head still hurt the slightest bit, the damn vampire he had been tracking had decided to basically dribble his head against a marble counter before Ki could decapitate the fucker. Rubbing at the side of his head gently he gave the pretty redhead he was talking with a sly grin, grey eyes dancing with a bit of mirth, "I knew it before, we were both of age 'course so ya know, why not?" The question had a certain melodic tone to it, Ki was just the type of guy that never turned a good time down if he didn't have to. "Off topic, and I'm gonna blame da concussion for not bein' able to remember, but where we off to again?" He did love traveling around with the band, even if he wasn't killing something off while he was with them, it was good to get a break. Ki enjoyed not having to wonder what type of messed up bodily fluid he was wiping off his vest, and groupies. Just yes. He was rather eager to watch another show, loved the way the band just seemed to work the stage and enjoyed how Norah worked her magic on stage. The groupies were added bonus for a night, "Did I ever tell ya about da time I had dis MILF all over me when her husband walked in? I almost didn't make outta dat one alive," The memory caused him to laugh, such good times.

[norah]"She said she was of age. I've been known to play that card a time or two myself. I've been hanging around clubs since I was fourteen, you really think I always admitted to being too young to vote?" She grinned at Ki and actually had to pull out her phone to check for the name of the town. "Norman, Okalahoma. Population about a hundred thousand, thirty-thousand of whom are students at the University of Oklahoma which is smack dab in the middle of town. We're doing a 'secret' show at a club called the Hidden Castle--which apparently is an actual castle built out of red brick--tonight, then tomorrow the college's ampitheater. It's grad weekend at the college, so both will probably be utter insanity. Hopefully in good ways."

A laugh as he mentioned another of his misadventures. "No, you never told me that story. How is it that you've never been hanged? I know nobody hangs people any more, but for you I think they might make an exception."

She pushed up to her feet, moving the short distance to the galley to grab him a beer and herself a pomegranate iced tea and rolling expertly with the bump and grade of the moving bus. It's surprisingly difficult to move gracefully in an RV doing seventy, but she had practice. As she dropped down again she glanced up toward the front of the bus. Mickey was driving, he had his MP3s going, but Norah still leaned in toward Ki and dropped her voice as she handed him his beer and asked, "Will you, uh, stick with me after the club show, at least any time we're not in the VIP area? That Levi guy has been at the last six shows, and I just--I don't want to set Mickey on him, he overreacts. But Levi gives me the creeps, too. He's too...I don't know." An uncomfortable shrug. "Too grabby, too eager, too something. Sets off my warning bells."[/norah]
