Kari nodded. "I lived in a suburd of Sydney. We were about 30 mins away from the beach. My sister spent a lot of time there." He smiled, Remebering Kala when she was little. She always filled him with such joy. "She used to beg me all the time to take her to the beach. She only went there once with Dad and her Mom. From that moment she fell in love the sea." His smile grew. "It can do that to you."

Irene nodding in agreement. "I know what you mean. I've only been the one time and I can't wait to go back." Listening to Kari talk about his sister, she smiled. It was clear that he loved her very much. A shot of sadness quickly went into and out of Irene as she recalled the time when her brother talked about her that way. It had been a long time ago though.

"How old is she?" she asked curiously, eager to hear about a happy family.

Kari looked toward her and smiled big. "Kala is eleven this year." His smile turned into a frown. "She is at Hogwarts right now. I miss her very much." He side. "It gets pretty lonely at the apartment with out her." He forced a smile but it was a very sad one.

"Aww...so she's just getting started in our world" she said with a small smile, remembering when she had started school. Things had been good then. As she continued to think about what he had said, Irene looked at Kari confused. "Are you raising her?" he asked. She had heard him mention Kari's parents, but from what he just said, it seemed as if he were the one who were taking care of her.

Kari nodded. "Our father and her mother died when she turned 3. Luckily I had turned 18 that very year so I got a job and battled the authorities for the right to raise her." He sighed, then gave her a smile, a happy one this time. "Its been hard, and I've had to struggle for many years but there was no way I was letting anyone take her from me."

"Wow. I'm sorry to hear about your dad." Irene said, in awe of how selfless an act it was for Kari to raise his sister. "That's...wow. It's easy to see how much you care for her. I hope she knows how lucky she is to have you." Irene couldn't imagine having a baby right now, let alone having to raise a near teen.

Kari shrugged. He didn't really see why most people thought it was a big deal. They had needed each other. Any one else would have done that would they? He looked away for a moment, remembering when he was trying to make little Kala understand that mommy and daddy weren't coming back. He didn't get it till she turned 5. Two years of her waiting at the beach to see them. He sighed to himself, then decided it would be a good ideal to change the subject. "So do you have any siblings of your own?"

Seeing how Kari downplayed the whole thing made Irene like him even more. When he asked her whether she had any siblings, it was her turn to sigh. "Yes. I've got an older brother...but I haven't seen him since I was 16" she shrugged, not knowing what to say. She didn't really talk about it very often. For the most part she was over the hurt of his abandonment, or at least she thought she was. Sixteen had been a difficult year for her though. Irene had been very close with her mother and Ioan, and losing them both in a sense during the same year had really been hard to deal with.

Kari shook his head. He could only imagine how awful of a thing that must be to go through. He and Kala always had each other. But Irene didn't have an older brother to look out for her anymore. He reached out and gave her hand a small squeeze before releasing it. "I'm sorry. I'm sure someday things can be resolved?" Though he had meant it to be a statement it ended up being a question. Kari couldn't quite say everything would be alright if there was a chance it wouldn't.

The squeeze from Kari's hands to hers although an attempt to make her feel better made Irene feel worse. She felt bad that she was burdening this person she had just met with her problems, but she had no one else to turn to. Irene gave Kari a small smile and shrugged. "Honestly, I don't know. I don't think he'd even know where to find me" she said with a sigh. Deep down, she knew that if her brother had wanted to find her or be found himself, he would've. Since he hadn't, she assumed he wanted to disappear though she couldn't understand why.

"It is nice of you to listen to me talk about my problems" she added, realizing how depressing the conversation had just gotten. Looking at a tree blowing in the wind, Irene took a deep breath and relaxed. Smiling again, she turned to Kari and hastily changed the subject. "So, what do you like to do for fun, Kari?"she asked.

Kari gave her a bright smile and nodded. He was glad that she felt she could share some of her problems with him. He always loved helping people. He had to admit, he really liked talking to her. He didn't have any friends save for his love. She would probably be a nice person to talk to. He started to frown when she ask what he did for fun. "I don't know. My life is pretty boring." He chuckled. "With out Kala I'm pretty lost. What do you like? Maybe you can give me a few ideas?" He laughed, his deep voice rolling.

Irene shook her head. "No way! I don't believe you're boring" she said easily. When the question was turned back to her, Irene shifted in her seat. "Oh, I dunno. I'm kind of boring" she said with a giggle. "I'm so busy with the dinette these days so I never have time for anything." She shrugged, "I like to read and watch quidditch, I guess."

Kari wrinkled his nose. "Yuck, reading. I've never been one for quidditch too." He laughed. He liked that they didn't like the same things, would make it harder and more interesting when they did find something in common. He gave her a look of intrigue, something catching his attention. "SO you work in a diner? My mother used to do that before I was born. What do you do? Wait tables?"

Irene smirked as Kari wrinkled his nose. She didn't mind the fact that they didn't have similar interests. Although some people might expect friends to have a lot in common, she knew that mere hobbies weren't as important as having common values and just getting each other.

At his question, Irene nodded. "Sometimes...if it is really busy" she said with a smile, "Mostly, I'm behind the counter making sure everything is going ok. I actually own the place" she said proudly.

Kari's smile grew. "That's great! Really amazing! I'm very happy for you." He was being genuine about it. He was glad she was doing well. Kari was sure she was a good person and deserved it. "So is it fun? Running your own place I mean."
