WHO: Ben Braeden, Eve Levine WHERE:Rockreation WHEN: Saturday, March 18, 2006; afternoon WHAT: Indoor rockwall climbing and talking. RATING: TBD STATUS: thread; in-progress
After dealing with a hundred and one questions and warnings from his dad, Ben had gotten Eve to agree to go to the indoor rockclimbing place that had been canceled when Alastair had kidnapped his grandma and Claire. School on Saturdays was kind of lame, even if the reason was that he'd missed days of school lately, but this was definitely going to make up for it.
"See you later, Dad!" he called over his shoulder as he made his way further into the building, already looking around for Eve. Given that he hadn't been allowed out, other than the Hyperion, it meant he and Eve hadn't been able to see as much of each other as before Alastair, but now that the demon was gone, life could get back to normal. Well, normal for Ben's life, considering that "normal" by traditional definition didn't include guardian angels and demons and vampires and other stuff.
When he spotted her, he grinned, short legs eating up the space between them at a gallop. "Hey babe!" The typical tone of the 'babe' was belied by his actions, as the hug Eve received as Ben threw his arms around her waist was genuine, without artifice or bravado.
