Who: Amaro and Jia
When: Afternoon
Where: The Libary
What: Running into someone and random chatter follows
Maybe some people were not looking forward to colder weather, but Amaro was pretty excited. He was the kind of guy that was sheltered from the cold atmosphere and would be pretty psyched to see some snow. Though his body didn’t appreciate having to bundle up over chilling outside with a simple t-shirt and shorts, it was a small price to pay for hoping to see some snowfall in the near future. It was only close to the end of October, but he had heard of November snowfall.
With no TV and his iPod kicking the bucket, he decided to check out the library for the day. He heard the place was quite large so he could always spend his day there looking for books that would potentially catch his eye. Amaro had to admit, he was a tad on the picky side when it came to novels so he had no idea what he would be bringing home. As long as it wasn’t the Gone with the Wind kind of stuff it was cool. He just couldn’t get into that romantic stuff. The minute he read the first few words, he would drift into a far off sleep. Same with flowery fantasy books.
He turned the corner to check out some of the nonfiction books and that was when he bumped into a stranger. Just by the bump in he could tell their form was more delicate than his so he made sure to steady them. Amaro knew it was most likely his fault since he was so into finding a good read. “Yeah, sorry about that.”

Who: Zach, Nico, Adrienne, and Umeko!
When: Begins late afternoon, and lasts all through the night.
Where: The path between Helicharis and the Ancient Elven Ruins.
What: Camping trip!
The four of them left together from the initial house of meeting, which was Zach and Nico's cottage, and started on their journey through Elysium towards the south. Heading north would only bring them straight into much colder air, and none of them were quite up for that. They wanted to keep as warm as possible, and the forests in the south were nice and sparse, easy to travel through, and they could set up shop near the Ancient Elven Ruins. Maybe another time when it wasn't so cold they could travel to the palace for the night.
They had to bring a horse with them to help them carry all of their supplies, which wasn't all that much. It made the trip easier with a horse to help them along the way, so they brought Nico's horse from the stables to carry the two bags with the tent folded inside of them and another bag full of extra supplies. Everyone carried their own backpack with personal stuff in it, like clothing and whatnot. Blankets and pillows were also on the back of Nico's horse. They probably helped keep the fellow warm, so Zach doubted he minded it.
Zach and Nico were also leading the troupe of four simply because they had declared themselves group leaders. Adrienne insisted they carry lanterns, but Zach could barely see anything ahead of him in the fading light with just a lit wick shielded behind some unclean glass. This camping trip would require some heavy duty lighting props if they were going to find their way in the dark.
"Okay, this lantern isn't lighting up anything," Zach said, hooking the lantern onto his backpack and letting it hang. A moment later, he whipped out a flashlight from his backpack and clicked the bright light on, turning around to face the others. He held the flashlight under his chin as he walked backwards. "Toniiight," he said, using an ultra-fake Translyvanian accent, "we are taking 'ee road less traveiled." He turned around to watch where he was going again, shining the flashlight around their surroundings. "Hey, Nico, does this look familiar to you?" Zach aimed his flashlight at a big tree to their right. "Why does everything always look different at night?"

Who: Dylan and Mikhail (and OPEN to observers!)
When: Early Afternoon
Where: Training Terrace
What: Discussion and demonstrations! For magic users and werewolves. Others are welcome to be in the audience and ask questions! ;-)
The day had begun with chilled winds and rain, but the rain barely lasted until sunrise when it cleared up from the skies. Though it was still cold, it was not enough to deter the djinn into cancelling the scheduled meeting on the training terrace about both magic and inner beast control. He had talked with a older werewolf much trained with inner beast control, and the young man agreed to hold the meeting, or class as it might have been called, around afternoon today outside. If the weather were to get any worse, they could possibly take the crowd inside the combat gym, but Dylan did not suspect it would grow anything more than chilly outside.
Dressed in warm clothing and a large coat, Dylan stood before the crowd that had gathered on the training terrace for today's discussion. Fifty-six degrees was cold for Dylan. After all, he was not used to cold weather. "Thank you all for coming," he announced above the slight wind. "Today, we would like to talk to you all about control. Our topics will cover magic control, for those of you who deal with magic using methods such as this."
Raising his hand into the air before himself, Dylan procured an orb of clear water, which grew from the size of a pea to eight inches in diameter. It floated in the air above his hand. Dylan smiled slyly at the crowd. "Not all water is blue," he ventured to joke. With that, he threw the orb of water to the ground about ten feet away in an open area away from any people. It hit the ground and broke, splashing outward and soaking into the dirt. "And we will also cover inner beast control with the help of Mr. Mikhail Dmitriv," Dylan said, gesturing with his hand towards Mikhail.
"Everyone's magic is different, and yet the keys of control are partially the same. It must be said, however, that a witch knows better how to teach a witch. A djinn, another djinn, and a werewolf . . . another werewolf. The list goes on. While the methods of control are very similar, the methods of use are not. A non-magic user cannot properly instruct someone with magic on how to wield it because they have never experienced its presence and power." Dylan touched a pointed finger to his head. "They do not truly understand its workings. The same counts for each different kind of magic. A witch cannot truly understand a djinn's power. They are two very separate things. However, we're not here to teach you how to use it." He pointed at the older members in the crowd. "You should already know how," he said with a smile.
"For those of you who do not, find a tutor or a mentor. Without one, much magic never reaches its true and full potential without years and years of brutal self-dedication. With one, you can master almost anything within your capabilities and in a shorter amount of time. Today, the most important thing we are going to cover is how to control yourself. It does not take, how do they say it, a rocket scientist to teach you this. It merely takes the teachings of a disciplined mind to instruct you how to discipline yours." Dylan glanced over at Mikhail. "That," Dylan added, "is the first step in controlling one's mind, and therefore, controlling one's power."

Who: Zosimus (or OPEN. You're welcome to stumble upon the herd if you like)
Where: Forests
When: Mid-morning
What: Sims is cold but he finds warmth and amusement in a bush.
Upon waking up that morning, Zosimus found himself shaking with chills. His teeth chattered and the muscle along his spine twitched to keep warm. Hands rubbed over his arms while he tried to push himself up beside some of the other Centaurs surrounding a fire. "It's cold!" he cried, as if they didn't know that. They looked down at him in turn as if he had never experienced the cold before, but then they realized he didn't even have on a sweater! Sighing, Abraxius took off his own wool shirt and shoved it on over the lads head. It mussed up Zosimus's hair but the boy felt better almost instantaneously. Arms wiggling in to the huge sleeves, he hugged his slender torso while smiling up at the male.
"Thanks!" he said from behind the tall neck that clung to his chin. Abraxius merely rolled his eyes. The child was endearing, of course, but he was ten and should have known better. Fall and the impending winter seemed to put a lot of people in bad moods. Zosimus was impervious to fowl emotions when it came to the weather. The only thing that could upset him seemed to be mean people or things just not going right. For now, however, all was well and he was warm again. With luck the day would warm up as the sun rose in to the sky. Sims wanted to go play. Later. Right now his knees seemed locked in place, he having to stamp the ground to warm up.
"Why don't you go run around?" offered one of the females who was reading where she stood by the fire's light. "That'll keep you warm." She smiled over the rim before returning to her read. Zosimus considered this a moment before looking up at the two males flanking either side of him in question. They nodded or shrugged. He could do what he liked, they were too tired to say otherwise. Smiling again, the youngest of the herd backed up away from the cluster before turning round and prancing off. He didn't go far, however, because he was hungry and lunch would be in about an hour or two. Jumping over roots, Zosimus narrowed his eyes on a bush up ahead. Could he jump it? Probably. Would he the first try? Probably not. But he galloped in circles to gain speed before heading for the shrub.
At least he could keep himself entertained, as silly as trying to jump some lowly plant was.

Who: Logan and Kaiya
When: Afternoon
Where: Outside Logan and Mitsuko's cottage, Helicharis
What: Kaiya meets her 'dream man'.
Logan pulled his jacket tighter around himself. It was a bit cool for him to be outside, but he'd felt like getting out of his room. He'd been sitting up there all night, unable to sleep. He was bothered by the dinner party he'd gone to. First... It had brought up his tumultuous feeling for Chris and... Mr. Gray's 'incident'. Logan wasn't sure exactly what had happened, but it had frightened the life out of him.
Not sleeping wasn't new to Logan. Insomnia was something he was rather used to. Ironic, for someone who gained so much power from dreams...
After a long night alone, Logan chose to sit outside the cottage. He'd seen Mitsuko do this often, watching the people walk by. He wasn't sure exactly what she got out of it, but he found it wasn't entirely unpleasant.
He was in the midst of a drawing of Malcolm. The man was on his mind now, Logan now having seen him suffer. He couldn't get rid of the sick feeling in his stomach. He wanted to take care of Maddy, he had promised to... And Malcolm seemed to do that well. Yet now, he was in the Medical Pavilion. At least Maddy still had her other guardian.
Despite the cool weather and even with his dark thoughts, Logan began to feel drowsy. He leaned against the wall of the cottage and closed his eyes. He needed rest. Perhaps, with the cold, he wouldn't fall too deep into sleep, enough that he could have imageless rest. He was so tired of the dreams of others....

Who: Elijah and Umekio
When:Late morning
Where: Lake Alata’elen / Beach
What: TBA
Elijah’s time in the haven had mostly been spent within the confines of his bungalow. He only went out to get food on occasion; he never went out to the Tiki Hut down the way or the Wine Bar in the town. Restaurant and café’s were out of the question, too. No, Elijah was happy living in solitude and organizing all of Aubert’s journals. It reminded him of the times he and the alchemist would spend days on end in the lab, testing theories and techniques, and writing down every last detail of the outcome, good or bad.
Though Elijah wouldn’t admit it out loud, he missed his alchemist.
But human relationships were just that – impermanent. Nothing lived forever, not even him. If he was an elemental he would exist until the end of time, but then he would have no memories. No experiences. No way of connecting with the world at all. It was a fair trade, in his opinion, to be given life and a consciousness in exchange for immortality. What was immortality anyway except heartbreak and sorrow? Live forever only to see the ones around you die and perish? No thank you, that wasn’t for the elemental. But at the same time, if everything died then what was the point in living at all?
He left his water bungalow today, and took a stroll down the beach in his bare feet. The sand felt good as they crept in between his toes. It was fine and smooth, and cool to the touch. He reveled in the feel of it, and sat down on the sand so that he could dig his hands into the beach as well. Elijah sighed, eyes gazing out toward the water longingly. He could hear some of the creatures that lingered just beneath the surface, and with flick of his hand he forced the water to rise up from the lake, forming a bubble that hovered above the waves. There within the floating bubble, was a small fish, and it continued to swim along as if nothing was wrong.
Elijah summoned the ball of water toward him and watched the fish with childlike curiosity. Its mouth opened and closed as it pushed water past its gills to deliver oxygen to the rest of its body. The water elemental’s lips pulled upward into a small smile, barely noticing the person who had come upon him.

Who: Chris and Charlie
When: Morning
Where: Planck and Jung cottage / kitchen
What: Sibling banter
“You know, you’re going to get fat if you keep eating like that.” Charlie downed his glass of orange juice as he watched his younger sister eating enough breakfast for at least four people. Her plate was piled with scrambled eggs, bacon, sausage, and on the side she had toast with butter and jam, and a bowl of fruit. She had a glass of milk, and a glass of orange juice to wash it down, and when Charlie mentioned fat she just glared at him.
( I am not fat )

Who: Midori Kamiyama and Giles Audley
When: Evening
Where: The Restaurant, Helicharis
What: The Date of the Randy Doctor and the Ice Queen of Hokkaido.
Midori self-consciously tugged on the hem of her skirt. She was feeling more than a little exposed. She was dressed in a short red silk dress. It had a vaguely kimono-like style, which Mitsuko said would make her feel more comfortable. But with the plunging neckline and short hemline, Midori didn't know if she had ever been more uncomfortable. With the knee-high boot Mitsuko had lent her, Midori felt like an utter tramp. No doubt Giles would be terribly pleased with the attire.
She wanted that damn man to get there. While she wasn't particularly looking forwards to his lewd comments, she felt like an idiot just standing around waiting for him to arrive. The sooner he got there, the sooner they could get this ridiculous sham of a date over with.
Despite her ill feelings, Midori felt her heart speed up a tad. There was something exciting about having a man who wanted to do nothing but lavish attention on her. She had never taken the time to enjoy such things before. Perhaps it was time.

When: Evening
Where: The Gray-Raokas Cottage
What: The Gray-Raokas Dinner Party
Malcolm was very excited. It was the first time they had a party. Oh, they had been a bunch of parties. There had been quite a few festivals in Elysium. But this was the first time the Raokas-Gray clan had their own party. It seemed to make thing more 'real', a real family. Ide was in the kitchen make dinner while Malcolm was setting the table. Actually, it was tables. With the number of people they had coming, they had to set up two extra tables, putting them together to form one long one.
"Malcolm!" Maddy said, running down the stairs. She was dressed in a cute dress. Her hair was in pigtails, but she had a pair of hair clips in her hand. "Mal Mal Mal... Can you help me?" She held out the hair clips to him.
Malcolm knelt down and took the clips from Maddy. "All right." He slipped the clips into her hair, pushing the locks back off her face. "There you go. Looks perfect."
Maddy beamed at Malcolm. She twirled around. "How do I look?"
"Beautiful." Malcolm gave her a pat on the arm. "Are you ready for everyone to come over and tell you how pretty you are?"
Maddy nodded. "Uh-huh. And have lots of fun with all our friends!"

Who: Adam and Constance
When: Late Evening
Where: The Alexie Cottage
What: Constance just can't catch a break, can she?
Adam's world had been turned upside down for the past few weeks as he dealt with the murder of Simon Myles and the suffocating weight of not being able to talk to anyone about it. His feet were leading him back home, back toward his cottage shared with Constance. He needed to talk to someone about it, and the only person he could talk to about it was the very person who had put him into this compromising position.
He opened the front door just in time to see her walking from one room to another. Constance paused in mid-walk, a book held aloft in one of her hands. She paused suddenly, staring at Adam as he stood in the doorway. Silence passed between them as he stared back at her. Finally, Adam stepped into the house and let the door close quietly behind himself.
( “Hello,” he ventured to say. One little word, but it took so much effort to get him to say it. )

Who: Zach and Adrienne
When: Evening
Where: Adrienne's Cottage
What: Zach comes by to bring Adrienne a real gift from him.
Zach knocked loudly on Adrienne's front door to make sure someone inside of the cottage heard him. He was standing outside with a small golden gift box in one of his hands. After what happened with the false gift sent to her under his name, Zach felt the need to show Adrienne what it was really like to get a gift from him. One that she knew, without a doubt, came from him. He'd spent all day on the full moon by a cave he had found with Nico's help just gathering up the items to create the gift, which would be revealed once Adrienne opened the box. Inside of its golden wrap laid a necklace made out of golden nuggets. Zach hadn't been able to find gold nuggets, but he had been lucky enough to find nuggets. All he had to do was use his alchemical powers on them to create the perfect gift for Adrienne.
( Jason answered the knock upon the cottage door, smirking a bit when he saw Zach standing there. )

[November 13, 2008 @ 8:58pm] |
Who: Constance and Adrienne
When: Late Afternoon
Where: The Alchemy Labs
What: Adrienne comes to tell Constance of the silver mirror.
Having fully recovered from the full moon, Adrienne made her way over toward the alchemy labs to visit Zach's grandmother. Adrienne enjoyed talking with Constance. The older woman always had good advice to give, and she was so easy to talk with. Even though she was Zach's grandmother, Adrienne felt that same sort of bond with the woman even if she wasn't related by blood.
But Adrienne's visit with the alchemist this afternoon was for a specific purpose rather than a general visit. She needed to talk to the woman about the strange gift she had received, and the possibility that it was someone in the haven (particularly Simon Myles) who had sent it to her. Adrienne didn't want to fathom that the other werewolf was obsessed enough to pull such a dangerous stunt, but there was no one else who would have done it. At least, not that Adrienne could think of.
The werewolf shifted the package she carried in her arms, holding it instead in between her right arm and her side. She wanted to show Constance the item in question, and maybe even give it to her for safe keeping. Being part of the Head Council, Constance was the only person Adrienne felt comfortable speaking with about the issue. There was Dylan, and Theora, and they were both great, but Constance was practically family and it seemed only right that she talk to her. Adrienne had already spoken to her father and Jason, and they too agreed that the gift was too serious of an event to not report to the Head Council.
Adrienne climbed the steps up toward the alchemy labs. She walked down one of the long hallways, passing the empty laboratory rooms and heading toward the offices. She found Constance's room easily, and she peeked around the frame while knocking on the wooden door. "Hi," she said almost shyly before she stepped into full view. "I wanted to come by and talk with you about something." ( Adrienne was always very straight forward about her intentions; there was no point in beating around the bush, especially when it concerned things of great importance. “May I come in?” )

Who: Zach and Leo
When: Late Morning
Where: The Glassblowers
What: Zach sets up shop at his new place of work!
Zach recalled making a joke once about how his likely path in life would lead to him owning a little shop one day where he'd sell expensive handmade creations by himself. Now that he was learning more about the complicated alchemical practices in the lab, he could make the original objects as well as transmute them afterwards. He spent a good deal of his free time lately with the glassblowers and learned out to make a bunch of glass objects. Zach created some pretty nice cups, bowls, and other glass items. After making them, Zach transmuted all of the glass into various gemstones. An emerald bowl was fit for a king, as were the ruby and sapphire cut wine glasses with trim and decoration made from gold.
They weren't for sale as much as they were for whoever wanted to use them, but there was a limit for how much someone could take like there was with everything else in the haven. Things were rationed appropriately, and so Zach didn't make any huge sets meant to all go together. It was mix and match for whoever wanted some of his creations. Hopefully, they would catch people's eyes. They damn well had better. Zach placed a glass punch-sized bowl on the shelf beside the window. He gently added its glass ladle, fixing it on the shelf. The sunlight caught on the polished ruby surface and shone brightly in the window.
He grinned at his handiwork and continued adding more things to shelves. He had helped rotate other items in the windows to other shelves on the store and proceeded to fill the windows with all of his own creations. Zach liked getting recognized for his work, and he wanted more people to notice everything on display and come into the store. It was his first job in Elysium, joining the crew at this shop.
Zach was oddly chipper today. With work to keep his hands busy, he felt productive and in much better spirits. It wasn't his first official day yet. He wouldn't begin that until Tuesday, but he wanted to go ahead and get cracking today.

Who: Sydni and Frankie
What: A belated reunion
Where: Ancient Elven Tree
When: Mid-day
Sydni did not often take the time to walk out to this tree, as it was rather a busier place than the other nondescript areas of Elysium, but the peace of mind afforded by a visit was worth it. Especially after the rather sucky birthday she'd had. It had been nothing but mood swings and furry PMS, and reminders of what she no longer had. She needed to ground herself, and going to a place of such strong magic seemed like a good place.
It was a brisk walk to the tree, but the brunette enjoyed it. She was even beginning to enjoy the cool air. It was crisp and clean, and she loved that. She also loved how nice a fire felt or being under the covers first thing in the morning. She didn't so much like how she froze after a bath, or that she had ceased swimming in the mornings, but she was beginning to appreciate the change of seasons.
Making sure that Molly did her business well out of the way of most foot traffic, and far out of the sacred area of the tree, Sydni made her way toward the tree and stood at its roots. A small smile crept over her features as she closed her eyes and just breathed. What a wonderfully soothing place. Soothing until she felt a tug on her arm and the leash slipped from her hand. "Molly!" she hissed in a loud whisper. No yelling in this sacre area. Following the pup, she walked briskly around the tree. Even the dog seemed to sense the solemnity of this area, as she didn't run. Instead, she pranced toward the figure she recognized. Now, why didn't her 'human' notice their old friend earlier?

Who: Heather and Shawn
When: Dawn
Where: along the beach of the freshwater lake
What: a meeting!
It was another dismal day in Elysium. And as the march toward winter trudged on, Heather was missing Miami more and more. What the hell had she been thinking when she'd decided it would be exciting to experience actual seasons? This whole cold, damp, and dreary weather was absolute crap. She wanted her sun and palm trees back! Still, the miserable atmosphere wasn't enough to keep Heather from going about her routine. She wasn't about to sit inside an ignore her regular daybreak run, she just made sure to were more clothes, with a water resistant outer layer.
She felt really bulky as her running shoes hit the sand one after another, her speed somewhat decreased given the terrain. But bulky was better than freezing and wet. Her grandmother had reminded her that it was only about fifty degrees outside, but it felt much colder to Heather, especially without the sun's full presence just yet.
The horizon began to glow, and with it so did the beach and the lake's rippling surface. Looked like there was a decent chop to the surf, not surprising with the little gusts that kept slapping Heather in the face. She gave a little shiver with each one and made sure her fuzzy headband was securely protecting her ears.
The colder weather and changing times of the sunrise meant there were far less people out on the beach when Heather ran. When she'd first arrived at Elysium, there were generally a dozen or so people out the same time as her... fishing, catching early waves, or just waiting to bask once the sun finally showed itself. But now she was alone, save for a figure just ahead.
A tall, lanky sort of man... who was shirtless?!? Immediately, Heather worried something was wrong, because she couldn't imagine anyone wanting to be out in this weather without several layers of clothing. She sprinted across beach, kicking up sand behind her as she did, until she came up to the stranger. "Are you ok? Did something happen?" She looked him over, checking for any sort of injury. Maybe he'd been attacked, but there were no cuts or bruises to be seen.

Who: Shawn & Leo Dorian, and Sydni
When: Sometime after sunset?
Where: Just outside Shawn and Leo's home
What: Pasta eating, orange peeling, and possible blushing. (Syndi runs into the pair)
It had been… a long day to say the least. Leo had enjoyed it, meeting new people was one of his favorite things to do. He was sure however, that Shawn himself had quite a days worth. There was only so much one could be introduced to in such a small amount of time, and it seemed that even Shawn had limits. They sat now near their new home, on the beach to be exact. Neither was wearing shoes, merely enjoying the cold and the feel of the wet sand on their feet. Shawn had made Leo some kind of pasta, and was peeling a decently sized orange himself. It was, of course, Shawn who first turned his head to the sound that was still to faint for the alchemist’s ears. Unconsciously, he shifted a bit forward from his seat in the sand, directly between the source of the noise and Leo. Leo on the other hand, seemed completely undisturbed, unless one considered the speed with which he ate his meal disturbing…

Who: Mitsuko, Chris and Logan
When: Late afternoon / early evening
Where: Mitsuko and Logan's Cottage
What: Logan gets ready for the Gray-Raokas Dinner Party and Mitsuko has some "girl talk" with Chris
"Logan!" Mitsuko called up the stairs. She was smiling up at her brother. "You better get yourself ready! Chris is going to be here any moment for your date!"
Logan slipped out of his room, his dress shirt half-buttoned and his hair mussed. "It's not a date," he rasped out, his cheeks turning pink. "Maddy just asked us over. Charlie's going to be there and lots of others."
Mitsuko was still getting used to Logan talking-- and thus, talking back-- to her. She let out a small laugh. "Yeah, well, Chris is coming all the way over here to walk with you to Malcolm's, which is a lot closer to her place than yours. That sounds date-like. Now come on! Get ready! Look as handsome as possible."
Mitsuko wrinkled her nose as she went back to the sofa to sit. She couldn't believe what was going on around. Her own shy, nervous brother had a date, the same day as her ice queen of a mother. And she did not. There was definitely something wrong with the world.
At least there was one advantage to Logan taking so long to get ready. If Chris arrived soon, it would Mitsuko a chance to talk to the girl about Hayate. She needed to find out all she could about the vampire, before she made her next move.

Who: Midori and Mitsuko
When: Afternoon
Where: Mitsuko and Logan's Cottage
What: Midori is going on her first date ever. She needs help from her daughter getting ready
Japanese folks speak Japanese, so all dialogue is translated
Midori hesitated outside of the cottage Mitsuko shared with her half-brother. She and Mitsuko had not been terribly friendly since she had arrived in Elysium. Their meetings had been fraught by arguments and disapproval.
Her daughter was precious to her. No matter what Mitsuko did or had done, she was still Midori's only heir. When Midori looked into her daughter's eyes, she could see a good soul and untapped potential. Yet they were unable to find any common ground. They might never truly get along.
But today, Midori needed her daughter. Tonight was the date she had agreed to with Giles. She had also agreed to wear a dress, something she did not own herself. As Mitsuko was the most fashionable person she knew, she would seek her help. But she wasn't much looking forward to actually asking. Mitsuko would take far too much pleasure in it.
Finally, she knocked on the door. She regretted it almost the instant she did it, but the door was quickly opened and she was face to face with Mitsuko.
( What did I do now? )

Who: Giles, Marley and Riley
When: Late Afternoon
Where: Audley Cottage
What: Midori owes Giles' a date. Tonight is the night and he's got two pain in the asses trying to offer advice before he tries to get laid the lucky event.
“If you keep following me, I’m going to lead you into my underwear pile.” Giles was trying to get away from his daughter who was stalking him throughout their cottage. Five bonus points on the Giles scoreboard for the brat actually showing interest in a conversation. On The down side, she was only interested because the midget Empath knew something was up. “When you think about it though, that’s a good thing. You could actually do something in this house. But start with my socks”
It took Giles awhile to realize there was a third party in the house and he only stopped for a moment to make an obvious face of irritation then continued on. “Who’s the blonde with decent sized funbags?” She was a short little thing, but he’d still do her. She looked of age so he wasn’t quite in the dirty old man territory.
( Riley gave an arch of the brow. Marley wasn’t kidding when she said her father was something else )
