Timur looked up at the signs properly when his sister redirected him, confused as to why she had gone to international travelers. He got through customs and security efficiently enough, though the line for security was something else, and put away his passport and ticket safely into his bag until he'd need it again, but that wouldn't be for at least another hour and a half. He got his shoes back on and went to Dilletante, finding his sister easy enough.
"Okay so... Why aren't you a U.S. citizen? You were born here." He couldn't remember if children had automatic citizenship if they were born in the U.S., but he had gotten his citizenship, so all his siblings should've also had U.S. citizenship, right?

Inkar knew that Timur hadn't really been paying attention, but it was a little bit impressive for him to be so confused. She steered them into the line, wanting a warm drink, especially if this conversation ended up long.
She told Timur, "I know you got your US citizenship at the same time as our parents, and Erasyl and all the ones younger than him were born after our parents had US citizenship, so they only ever had US citizenship. But for me, Aiday, Aibek, and Inzhu, we were our parents were still Kazakh citizens when we were born, so we started with both US and Kazakh citizenship."
She paused for a second, mulling over explaining the next part, "You can't keep dual citizenship as an adult though. Aiday and Aibek both chose US citizenship, it makes sense, we live here and have our whole lives. Inzhu probably will too next year. But well, I was posting internationally competitive times when I was in high school for track, and notably, the year of the Rio Olympics, when I was a little too young, my times would have qualified me for the Kazakh Olympic team. The Kazakh national track team reached out to me my junior year of high school, basically to see if I wanted to run for Kazakhstan internationally."
She sighed and added, "Mom was nervous about it, but she and Dad both said it was my decision. I really wanted the chance to do the Olympics, and I knew that if I kept doing what I was doing, I would be able to go if I competed for Kazakhstan. Plus, I kind of liked that connection to my heritage. But to compete for a country in the Olympics you have to be a citizen, so when I turned 18, I dropped my US citizenship. I'm officially a Kazakh citizen and a US permanent resident. There was a ton of paperwork involved, and I'm not sure if I'll do even more paperwork and get my US citizenship back once I'm retired from competition, but that's why I'm a Kazakh citizen even though most of the rest of the family isn't."
When they got to the front of the line, she ordered a mint hot chocolate and turned to Timur and said, "Want anything? This one is on me."
She waited until they were in the area to wait for drinks and said, "So any questions?"

Timur ordered a mocha, thinking over the information his sister was telling him. That made sense, he supposed. "I guess that makes sense, I guess I didn't think about the citizenship of people on Olympic teams outside of the place they live." He couldn't imagine if he still had Kazakh citizenship that his life would be much different, though the paperwork sounded awful. He'd probably have a lot more anxiety about being gay if he still had Kazakh citizenship, even though it was decriminalized while he was still young and living in Almaty, it was so highly stigmatized when he was a kid that it took him a while to even admit to himself he was queer.
"Aren't you worried about if people find out you're queer, though?" He asked quietly. He hadn't been to Kazakhstan since the family left, so he wasn't sure if the general population attitudes were changing about that, but the occasional research told him it was still stigmatized.

Inkar nodded and said, "I mean some, like if I was super openly out about it, I'd have invited Nika as my support human. I think that I'd be more worried about it and figuring out how to navigate it if I had any plans of actually living in Kazakhstan at this point in my life."
She held up her wrist that had it's little subtle bi pride bracelet and continued, "But I also wear this when I race, and no one's ever commented, but I hope that there's some kid watching me on TV who has taken some degree of comfort in it."
She shrugged and added, "Once I'm retired, I'll probably be more open and vocal. It's not like I don't have a backup plan if they decide they don't want me after all. Like there's a real chance I'd decide my life would be easier long term as a US citizen once I'm done competing and I'll change either way. I'm just not going to go around advertising it or bringing it up in a national team context or like interviews for the time being. Maybe I can help change some things by existing, maybe not."

Timur thought that over and nodded, about to say something, but hesitating, and then their drinks were ready. He took his, tasting it and nodding in approval before finally saying, "I guess that makes sense. I've told you before part of my anxiousness with coming out to our parents was the history of LGBTQ rights in Kazakhstan. I know it's gotten better, but I haven't been to the country in over 20 years, so I don't know by how much. It feels like everything I see for LGBTQ Rights is negative, though. I know you're an adult and can make your own decisions, but I also don't want to see people slandering you just because of that..." He realized this was possibly the first time he actually expressed protection over any of his siblings. Of course he felt protective of all of them, but he also felt awkward as hell around the younger ones, and was still repairing relationships with the older ones. "I hope in time it gets better." He finished simply.

Inkar shrugged and said, "I think maybe because the first time I visited Kazakhstan I was nearly an adult, and I was already pretty confident in my own sexuality if quiet about it at the time, I just sort of look at it as, I'm not going to push it just now, but if there is a negative reaction, I do have the safety of distance. I'm there two or three times a year, and I live here. It would be relatively easy for me apply for US citizenship, like it would take some time, but I'm already a permanent resident. Like, I don't want to right now, there are plenty of people who compete in track into their thirties, so I might well have two more Olympics in me, and I'd have a much rougher time qualifying for the US Olympic team, though last I checked, I would be in contention for top three for 400 m hurdles, and that might put me on a 4 by 4 team too."
She smiled at him and said, "I appreciate the concern though. Like, I've thought this through. I'm not even really hiding it, just not being loud about it. If it comes out, and the Kazakh national team doesn't want me anymore for it, then that's their loss though. I'd kind of miss the chance to visit our grandparents as often, but I hadn't been doing that most of my life, I'd recover."
She realized as she said it that she'd seen their grandparents far more recently than Timur had. She asked, "Do you ever want to visit? Like see what Kazakhstan is like to you now that you're an adult? I get that you'd be nervous about the queer stuff, but like for a short visit to see family and like be a tourist?"
Once she'd collected her drink, she said, "Want to head over to the international terminal? Everything was pretty efficient, so we're going to have a while to wait, but I brought entertainment for myself, so I figure we can go over to where our flight will be and chill until it's time. There's a few decent and not super pricey for the airport places to grab food or snacks over there."
[[OOC: I don't know how much is left in this conversation, but if you don't have a bunch of follow up questions from Timur, we can skip to arriving in Paris if you want.]]

Timur felt like his heart skipped a beat at his sister's questions. He'd never thought about returning. It felt unfeasible, too expensive. But he'd had a stable career for over a decade at this point, he had enough money to travel anywhere he wanted. He had his passport, recently updated to prepare for this trip, so the only thing stopping him was him. He had good memories of Kazakhstan, and he did really miss his grandparents. "I think I do want to visit at some point. Can we make that our next trip?" He gave his sister a tentative smile.
He had to remind himself he only started feeling anxious about Kazakhstan and being from there when he first came out, and his research and brain told him he'd have to throw away the idea of visiting Kazakhstan ever again. But that was silly, and even though it was a decision he formed as a teenager, he had held on to the idea ever since. Finally, he nodded, "Yeah, let's get to the international terminal."
--
As Timur escaped customs, he let out a sigh of relief. The plane ride was over with little excitement, and they had arrived safely in Paris. He thought over the things they'd need to do next - get their luggage, get to their hotel, and probably find some food. As his sister got through customs, he gave her a tired smile, "Once we get to our hotel, we should find out what food is around us." He suggested.

Inkar smiled at her brother and said, "I think we could manage that. If you come along next time I need to go to Kazakhstan for a competition, you'll start becoming my official cheering section or something."
---
It took Inkar longer to get through security and cutoms on the Paris end than she would have hoped, and she hoped that she hadn't kept her brother waiting too long. She had managed some sleep on the plane, and now she knew that she needed to stay up until it was night in Paris or else she would take a much longer time to get on sleep schedule. It was the morning too, so finding things to do would be good.
She was glad that the hotel where Timur was going to be staying for the length of the Games was a good place for her to leave the stuff she wouldn't need in the Olympic Village, and that she'd be able to have her first night in Paris in a proper hotel and then rejoin in him for their little bit of tourist time after.
As they headed for baggage, she told him, "I am definitely in favor of food. I've been told that going to a bakery is a good breakfast plan while we're here. I'm glad that I don't have to head straight for the Olympic Village."
She added, "We should spend some time exploring in general. I'm going to be OK through this evening without a nap, and I know that I'll adapt better to the time change if I just stay up until night. I don't know if you also managed some decent sleep on the plane though. I'm not jealous at all of your height at times like this."

Timur let out a bitter laugh, "Yeah, I kinda don't like my height at times like this either. Airplane seats were much larger when I was ten, and a six hour trip to the east coast for a business meeting is significantly different than a flight to Paris." He sighed, "But I managed, and now we're here."
He found their baggage carousel and pointed it out to his sister, "Alright, so once we get our luggage, we'll find the hotel..." He faded off, frowning as he realized it was still morning. "We may not be able to check in yet, but hopefully they'll have like, a place to store baggage until later. Then we find a bakery for breakfast, and then... I got a list of some less popular art galleries in the area around where we're staying, did we want to check out one or two of those?" He was probably more tired than Inkar, as it sounded like he didn't sleep as well, but he could get to the evening. He'd rather he crashed early and slept through the night than take a nap and not be able to sleep.

Inkar smiled and nodded, "Hotel to see if we can do early check in or at least store our bags, bakery, art gallery. That sounds like a good plan to start our day out. I'm honestly just looking forward to walking around and seeing the sights a little too."
She found her bags pretty quickly, unsurprised to see a few other sets of bags on the carousel that looked distinctly like they were athlete bags, but not seeing anyone around that she recognized, there were tons of Olympians, so it wasn't like it was a big surprise that it wouldn't be someone she knew. She wasn't entirely looking forward to the Olympic Village though because she felt like she wouldn't really have anyone much to spend time with. Maybe she'd make friends, she could hope. She didn't have much to go on for that, since in Tokyo everyone had been really keeping to themselves for the most part.
She told Timur, "Once I'm staying in the Olympic Village and like doing my training leading up to when my part of the competition starts we won't have as much chance for galleries and stuff, but ones that we don't get to today, we can try for during the bit we're staying after the games are over."
She added, "Oh right, we'd talked about finding you a place to listen to commentary during my events. I think that I found something, so we should check if the site works on your phone here at some point today."
[[OOC: Do we want to skip forward to competition time, or do we want to do more of their first day in Paris?]]

Timur nodded and checked his phone. He had gotten an eSim to use for this trip, and it seemed to be working. "It should work, but it is good to check." He told Inkar simply. He grabbed his bag off the carousel and got it ready to go. "Alright, hotel, bakery, art gallery." He said. "Let's go."

The first week in Paris was kind of a blur. It absolutely poured during the opening ceremony, and she hoped that if Timur was watching in person from the banks of the Seine, he'd found somewhere with a decent overhang. It was vaguely amusing to see so many world caliber athletes on all the different boats covering themselves with the flimsy plastic ponchos that the organizers had frantically handed out. Inkar was used to running in this sort of rain, but it was kind of chilly to be sitting on a boat in. She loved the panels of ornamentation, as well as the ornamented tie of the uniforms, though she kind of wished that they'd gone for something more clearly cultural dress in style.
She dragged Timur to events, mostly swimming and gymnastics, as she got the chance to around her training schedule. She figured swimming was pretty straightforward: who got through a race the fastest, and it would be good prep for watching track in a way. Gymnastics was just cool and she enjoyed watching it. She hoped that Timur had at least a little fun. She didn't know what he managed to do tourist stuff wise while she was engrossed in training, but she hoped that he was having fun.
August 4th and the heats for the 400 m hurdles came what felt like too soon and not soon enough. She had adapted to the time zone well, and she'd been running well in practice. She'd had a few interviews, in Kazakh, English, and Korean, drawing some media attention, but not so much it was distracting.
Finally, it was time for her to actually run, and as she'd mentioned in those interviews, she always ran her best when she had someone to chase. She'd gotten lane 2 for her heat, and she was thrilled. She always ran fastest from the inside when the stagger made her think that she was chasing someone, even if she logically knew that they weren't actually starting ahead of her. She'd told the interviewers, and Timur though she wasn't sure how much he'd understood, that her goal was to make the finals this Olympics, the finals had just evaded her in Tokyo, but she knew that there was a strong field in both her events.
She followed her own routine as she made it out to the track, she'd been hearing all day that this track was fast, and she was ready to experience it. She smiled and waved to the camera when it panned to her for introductions, and then she was at last getting into blocks at the Olympics. There were seven runners basically ahead of her because of the stagger, all she had to do was be faster than at least four of them, and she'd make it through to the semifinals. She didn't want to be in the repechage because it would make it so that she had two races on the same day instead of alternating between the hurdles and the flat race.
As she came out of the blocks, she registered that the track was just as fast as everyone had been saying it was, feeling like she was soaring, but the hurdles got there right in the right part of her stride, and she was gaining on people, making up the stagger. She looked at the scoreboard as she leaned over, catching her breath at the end of the race, it had felt like a good race, and she was pretty sure that she'd done it, but she had to be sure. 54.80s, a personal best by a tenth of a second, and a big Q for qualified next to her name in third place. She was thrilled with the start of her Olympics, and she knew that she had more in her, she was just getting started.
She had a quick conversation with her national coach, keeping an eye out for Timur in the stands and waving at him when she spotted him. She was pretty pleased overall. When she got back to the waiting area to gather up her things, she texted Timur, "What did you think? Did the commentary help?"
COMMENTARY
The commentary stream that Inkar had found for Timur was an American one, but at least Inkar had been happy with who was commentating.
Male Commentator: "In lane two is Inkar Mun, competing for Kazakhstan, but born and raised in Cedar Beach, Washington, near Seattle. We saw quite a lot of her when she was on the NCAA circuit, but she's only been competing a little bit in the Diamond League. In an interview earlier this week, she told us that travel costs were a little bit of an impediment, but she was glad to have the chance to be at her second Olympics. She's been training independently a fair amount, but also still trains with her former NCAA team at the University of Washington, besides that, she's been coaching her local track teams at the middle school, high school, and community college level. In Tokyo, she made the semifinals for both the 400 m hurdles and the flat 400 m. She told us that she hopes to make the finals this time around, and she's coming off a very good time and competition in Oslo a few months ago where she got her very first Diamond League medal. She's probably not in medal contention, but she's one to watch."
Female Commentator: "She's also got interesting technique. You might notice looking at the field that she's the shortest hurdler in the bunch by a pretty good margin. I've never seen Inkar hit a hurdle though, she goes over them clean, and she's one of the hurdlers who actually prefers to switch feet between hurdles. What that does mean is that if for some reason her steps get messed up, she's confident going over a hurdle with either foot forward."
The race started, and the commentators pointed things out as they happened.
MC: "Inkar mentioned that she likes running from the inside because she runs her fastest when she feels like she's chasing someone, and that's really paying off for her here, she's gaining ground on that stagger, and it's looking like a really good time from her."
As the race ended, the commentators said a few things about each qualifier.
FC: "Inkar Mun, representing Kazakhstan, has the third place qualifying spot with a personal best of 54.80 seconds, shaving off a tenth of a second from her time in Oslo. She's almost certainly really glad to not be racing in the repechage. If she can clear into the semifinals and then the finals in both the 400 m hurdles and the flat 400 m, she's going to have races on alternating days for the two events. If she ends up in a repechage, she'll have to run twice on the same day, and let me tell you, that is punishing at this distance. She wants to avoid running any extra races if she can help it to keep her legs the freshest she can. Unlike some of the other women, she's not got a relay to worry about, but six 400 m races, half of them with hurdles, in as many days is a lot!"

Timur was enjoying himself, even if he was alone a good portion of the time. He had gotten somewhat familiar with the cafe nearest the hotel, and the staff were friendly with him as long as he didn't try to say more than "thank you" in French. They told him straight up to stop trying to say more than that, so he did, albeit a bit discouraged. Still, their coffee and food was really good, so he didn't mind too much.
He mostly enjoyed the sports that Inkar brought him along to, and he was happy they were able to find a good commentary for him to listen to during the sports she participated in. It helped make sense of what exactly he was seeing. As Inkar got third place, he couldn't help but cheer. He felt his phone buzz and he was looking between it and down at the athletes. 'You did awesome! The commentary definitely helped.' He praised in a text back, still listening to the commentary through one side of his ear buds. He sent another text soon after the first one, 'What is repechage?' He asked curiously.

Inkar sent a smiley face back to her brother, grinning to herself as she packed up and headed back to the training areas to stretch out and cool down and get ready for the next day. It was a good start. She replied to his question, "The repechage is a new thing actually! All the people who didn't get into the semifinal through the heats (what we were doing today) get to go do basically a second set of heats tomorrow and the first two in each of the repechage races get through to the semifinal too. It means that someone who was in a really fast race who didn't get through because of that, like the person in 4th in my heat, might be able to get through to the semifinal and have a second chance. Or like if someone really fast hit a hurdle, they get a second chance to not hit a hurdle."
She added a second text, "Oh man though, it would have sucked to do repechage because I have the heats for the flat 400 m tomorrow. Did the commentators talk about it?"
---
[Skipping forward to the next day, and the heats for the 400 m.]
The heats for the 400 m were in the middle of the day, and Inkar felt well rested and had had a good warm up. She was glad that she didn't feel drained after the previous day. She was thrilled to have managed the second lane again for her heat. This track was fast and she felt good, and she was going to have people to chase for sure. She figured she was going to have to run at least close to her personal best to qualify without having to go the repechage, but she also was excited because unlike with the hurdles she wasn't going to have to control her step placement with the speed of the track, and she'd just be able to embrace just how fast this track was and chase the rest of the runners around the curve.
She smiled and waved at the camera, momentarily aware that her bi pride bracelet was somehow a little more visible than it sometimes was, but she wore less jewelry than many of her competitors, and it was an artistic little piece anyhow, she doubted anyone would say anything about it, and she figured that maybe there was a teenager in Kazakhstan watching this race who would at least get a chance to see someone like them.
The thoughts emptied from her mind as she settled into the blocks and they were off. She knew that some of the faster people in this race were in the outer lanes, which made it feel like they were a long way ahead. She focused on catching people as she could, and just the joy of running on this track that felt so very fast.
The race seemed like it was over too soon, and she was not that far from wanting to fall to the track like some people were doing, but she turned to look at the board, and her hands flew to cover her mouth in thrilled surprise. There was the 3rd place and big Q of qualifying next to her 50.38 s time. Then the PB of personal best, a personal best of over half a second, she knew she'd been fast, but half a second was a lot. And then something she hadn't really expected to see, the NR of National Record, her very first one.
She felt the tears hit her hand before she realized she was crying, and she accepted hugs and congratulations from some of her competitors. She was a little overwhelmed as she headed to the back, not needing to linger and pay attention for time qualifications like she had a few times in Tokyo. She texted Timur, "I adore this track, it's pretty and fast."
---
COMMENTARY
MC: "Inkar Mun of Kazakhstan is in lane two again for the 400 m, the same lane she was in for the 400 m hurdles heats yesterday, and it served her pretty well there, where she's qualified through for the semi-finals."
FC: "She's mentioned in interviews that she likes being in inner lanes. The 400 m hurdles is her slightly stronger event, and the only one that she's medalled in internationally, but she's a bit of an underdog to keep an eye on in both her events."
MC: "Inkar's one of the athletes here with a strong US connection. She was born and grew up in Cedar Beach, WA, near Seattle, where she still lives, coaching at the local middle and high schools and community college, and training with her former NCAA team at University of Washington. We've not seen a lot of her this past year, most recently she competed at the Bislett Games in Oslo, Norway, where she did pretty well, but she's looking in good shape for these games, having set a personal best yesterday in the 400 m hurdles."
As the race started, the commentators talked about things that were happening.
FC: "Heats usually aren't super fast, but this track has been a fast one, and we've been seeing some PBs. Definitely watch out for that here."
MC: "The favorites for this heat are in the outer lanes, but Mun is gaining on the field surprisingly fast. She's passed three people in the first 50 m. It's hard to tell because she's on the inside, but she's running a really fast first 200 split. Right on pace with the leaders."
As the race was ending, there was definitely a lot of excitement in the commentator box.
FC: "Mun's stuck right with Nielson, and that's a third and the big Q for Inkar Mun of Kazakhstan."
MC: "That's incredibly exciting as a time for her, that's a 50.38 s, that's over a second over her personal best before these games, a 50.90 s from Bislett Games earlier this year. Half a second is huge! She's not kidding about chasing people helping her."
FC: "I'm not surprised to see her so emotional over it, though she's usually a pretty cheerful after races, that's a National Record too, by three tenths of a second. What a start to her games she's having!"

Timur watched the race, amazed at just how fast these athletes were, and he had to remind himself he was watching some of the best athletes in the world, and his sister as one of them. He was already feeling a lot of pride, and then the announcer explained that Inkar got the National Record for Kazakhstan and saw her crying, and a wave of emotions came over him too. "What!!" He exclaimed out loud, curling in on himself a bit as the people around him stared.. He kind of wished he could go to her, glad to see other athletes were comforting Inkar. He wanted to share with the whole world how proud of his sister's accomplishments he was at that moment, but didn't know anyone in this entire country besides Inkar.
Instead, he messaged his family a quick note, in case they couldn't manage to watch, 'Inkar just made the Kazakhstan National Record!!', getting reactions and comments pretty quickly from the family. After some hesitation, he also messaged Allen, 'My sister Inkar just made a National Record for the 400 m! :D' He also sent Inkar a series of emojis that were basically a lot of exclamation marks and stars.
