Week Ten- Wednesday
Who: Hesper and Hale
When: Wednesday Evening
Where: Basketball court outside The Towers then Hale's apartment.

She had spent the entire day out. It might have been because she had just a little bit of agitation that she needed to work off. There was no way to do that at home so it was out onto the streets she went. Recently it seemed like she spent more and more time away from the apartment, not even just for business either. But right now she just did not want to see her brother. And since the apartment was one of the few places he would be outside the station, she avoided it.

There was no point in being mad about it, but that did not stop her. Sure she had fucked up plenty of times when it came to things like this. Still, she did not like the fact that now her brother was scoping out some vampire for some girl, the same girl whose brother he showed his wings off to to prove the girl was not crazy. Nox was a good guy and all, but Hesper did not really like all too much just what he was doing for this girl. Especially if this girl was doing nothing for her brother. Why should Nox even bother with her? For that matter, why should she? Granted, she had never met Alex or whoever his sister was, not really at least, so where was her room to judge?

Who was she kidding, she was going to judge them anyway.

Kicking a rock on the sidewalk, she shoved her hands into her pockets. It was still so damn cold out. Why couldn't she have settled someplace warm? Shivering slightly, she looked up at the basketball court she was passing. Raising an eyebrow, she watched her brother's partner play on the court, by himself. It was really a sad little picture that he had painted of himself. "Hey, Hale." she called out. "Isn't is a bit fucking cold to be playing out here?"

Hale hadn't been spending a whole lot of time in his apartment. Instead, he worked more than usual, throwing himself into cases and even working on some cold cases to avoid going home. Blue wasn't getting the attention she deserved, so sometimes he even brought her along to the office. She got to play with the K-9 unit dogs and he didn't feel as guilty. Tonight she was at the basketball court with him, tired of stealing the ball from him. Instead, she was leaping in the air chasing moths or something while he shot baskets from the free throw line.

He hadn't been in the best of moods since Adian had gone. There hadn't been much of an explanation, she had just... disappeared. Disappeared with the bastard down the hall she lived with. And he knew she wasn't safe with him, but there was nothing he could do. To be perfectly honest, he'd been falling in love with her. So much for that. There was probably a reason he hadn't found a woman yet. He just wasn't cut out for it.

Blue ran over to Hesper when she spoke, barking playfully. The great dane galloped up and looked up at Hesper, tongue hanging out of her mouth stupidly. Hale forced a smile and picked up the ball, walking over to Hes. "It's not that cold once you get moving," he said, dribbling the ball a couple times before holding it steady again. He wondered what she wanted. "What are you out for?"

Smiling, she bent down and rubbed Blue's head. "Well look who's here! If it isn't my favorite puppy dog." she cooed at the animal, continued to rub her head happily. She liked Blue and had often thought about getting a dog of her own because of that. But in probably one of the few moments where she considered others, she figured that she would not have enough time or patience for one right now. Plus she could always just steal Hale's if she wanted to play with one.

Looking up at Hale as she continued to pet his dog, she shrugged. "Still too fucking cold out for me. Isn't it Blue? Too fucking cold." she replied, looking back down at Blue happily. Scratching behind the great dane's ears, she tilted her head and smiled at the dog again. "You're so cute, your daddy should take you out more."

Shrugging, she avoided looking at him when he asked that question. "If you must know, I'm avoiding my brother. If you'd like a more creative reason though, I can probably come up with one. What about you?"
