It took about three minutes of looking at the computer and mulling it over before Garret decided to track Declan down outside and get some answers. Since when had he decided that he wanted to go home? Making a decision to move back to Ireland was huge, and Declan didn't make decisions like this on a whim. So what brought this about all of a sudden?

As Garret strode over the grounds, looking for the telltale pile of clothing that said Declan was shifted and getting his roots into the soil, he thought about if he had been neglecting his friend. It was likely- when Garret got caught up in himself, he tended to neglect things. People, mostly. Maybe Declan thought that he wouldn't really be missed when he left.

Finally, Garret spotted the tidy pile of clothing, and a few yards away he saw the very familiar dryad in his natural, arbor form. "So, I have to assume that Irish soil is somehow better than American soil, hmm?" he said, making his way over and settling himself at the base of Declan's trunk, resting his back against him. "That's got to be the reason you're abandoning me."

( I thought we told each other everything. I didn't see this coming, though. )

It was probably midnight, maybe later, when Garret climbed out of bed and padded his way out into the hallway, unable to sleep. He gave Pais enough water and food to last the night, though he neglected to put on a tee shirt before leaving the apartment. He didn't know how long he'd be gone, so he didn't bother bringing anything with him. He didn't even bother with shoes. Life was weighing heavily enough on his mind to keep him warm enough in the chilly night.

He phased through the familiar door, like he had thousands of times before, never knocking and rarely with prior notice. Not that he thought Declan would mind. Declan never minded, not even in the middle of the night, not even when Garret just talked to him and ran on a marathon of words, his lips never stopping as he worked through a problem. Not even, hopefully, as he climbed into bed beside the sleeping dryad (thankfully not a tree this evening) and forced his way into the other's arms, forehead resting on Declan's chest.

( You ever just... think too much? Just never stop thinking? )

Who: Declan and Garret
What: Bro outing!

They were going to see the new Star Trek movie. Delcan didn't know this yet, nor did he have any say in the matter. The month of May had been a busy one, and Garret had yet to go see the latest installment of his beloved series starring the horrible Chris Pine and the creepy Zachary Quinto. He didn't have high hopes for the film, but he was a fan since the very first series, and every diehard fan knows you see your franchise thorugh, even to its possibly brutal demise.

But first, he needed to feed the sapling. So after picking Declan up (earlier than he'd said he would be there) and rushing the poor man out, Garret put them in the Mustang and sped off downtown, in search of a place where they could both agree on the menu. Garret was devastatingly handsome, of course, and Declan looked... well Declan looked dangerous. He was a perfect mix of sexy and innocent that was like catnip to the poor, impulsive pathfinder.

"I like those jeans," Garret shouted over the wind rushing over them, since the roof was down in the convertible due to the perfect weather. (By "I like those jeans", what he meant was "I like your ass", but he was doing his best to behave tonight.) "What are you in the mood for, as far as food goes?"

Still reeling from the suddenness and... intensity of what had just transpired, Garret couldn't hide the grin on his face as he made his way to Declan's apartment. It might have been dreamlike, what had just happened, but he had enough brain power to know that he needed to wash the smell of sex off himself before he ran into either Mal or Rorie. So he needed a shower, and Declan seemed like the least likely person to yell at him.

Garret didn't bother to knock, he simply phased through the apartment door and made his way to the bathroom, passing Declan in the kitchen without greeting. The dryad would follow him to the bathroom, no doubt, eager to hear whatever it was Garret was up to now.

( So... you will not believe what just happened to me... Okay well, you might believe it. Because this is me, after all. )

Who: Declan and Wesley
When: Wednesday evening
Where: Danvers
What: Dec wants to take Wes out for dinner


Signing off the computer, Declan smiled. He'd cleared his plans with Keely, and she didn't mind since she was spending a lot of time with Billy anyways. The two had just hit it off well and were cooking buddies among other things. So with his night free and clear, he'd thought it was well past time he'd thanked Wes appropriately. After a quick shower, he dried off to throw on boxers, thick jeans, a black t-shirt and a moss green sweater that brought out his eyes. Throwing on a leather jacket completed the ensemble and Dec was ready to go.

Right on time, he pulled up in front of the house where Wesley was staying. Dec bounced from foot to foot on the porch, knocking quickly then shoving his hands into his pockets. It was bloody cold and he was glad he left the car running, heat blasting to warm his soon-to-be-frozen fingers. When the door opened he grinned, taking a long moment to admire Wesley's outfit. "You look great."

Rating: Eventually NSFW

Declan logged off the computer after talking with Garret, still chuckling over their conversation. It was going to be good to get out with a friend again, considering he hadn't done so for awhile. Maybe when classes started back up again he'd have a poker night at his place. That would be fun, and something the dryad hadn't done in quite awhile. Pick up a few rounds of Guinness or some other beer, dust off the chips and cards. Maybe he could convince Keely to make something so they wouldn't go too hungry. Definitely sounded like a good plan. But that was for the future. Right now, he had to worry about clocking out so he could go spruce up for his impromptu dinner and drinks.

Finishing up his paperwork, Declan left the office and headed back home to clean up and attempt to look handsome. And so it was that a couple hours later Declan was dressed in dark gray slacks, a light blue long sleeve tee and a faux leather jacket thrown over top. It may not have been a typical outfit, but it looked good on him, he hoped. He'd never been one to pay much attention to styles. Finger combing his hair, Declan walked through the halls, knocking on Garret's door promptly at seven.

( Unlike Declan, Garret had not made much effort to rush himself. )

Who: Garret, Keely and Declan
When: Evening, after Declan gets off shift
Where: Dec's apartment
What: Garret decides to be a yenta and cause trouble.

This was going to be... odd. And not just because it was a potential orgy that was probably not going to happen. Mostly, it was because neither Keely nor Declan had much experience with sex, and from what Garret understood, Keely would cut off your hand if you got too fresh. There was also the awkwardness of the very obvious feelings between Keely and Declan that Garret was not sure either of them realized.

After grabbing Keely and giving her a hurried explanation- "Because it's fun"- Garret let them both into Declan's apartment and stripped them down to their underwear. Sitting in Declan's bed, this was possibly the most innocent thing Garret had ever done in his underwear, which was strange since he was wearing the red luckies today. There was nothing innocent about the red luckies. But he was in a bed with a woman in her very cute underwear... and they were playing Go Fish.

Note: In Progress

Rumor had it that Declan, one of the cuter and less fun security guards, was feeling ill. That was sad times. Blue didn't like him very much, but she did know him, and therefore she felt the need to go see him and make him feel well. Maybe they could be friends if he was sick, because sick people tended to be nicer and less strict to people who brought them soup. And Blue was bringing soup, and crackers, and some ginger ale because that was the diet of the sick person.

She knew he couldn't get up and open the door, so she was kind enough to let herself into his apartment, making sure to keep quiet in case he was sleeping. "Hello?" she called softly, looking about. It was a nice space, a little too earthy for her tastes but whatever suited him. Finally she found him, and she gave him a bright, warm grin. "I'm going to help!" she declared, quite certain that her offerings, on top of her outfit, would make him feel much better.

Who:  Declan, Ikon and Syn. Later Wes!
Where: On campus, near the staff apartments
When: Afternoon
What: Declan's doing rounds and collapses! Ikon and Syn to the rescue.


Not having felt his best for the past couple days, Declan was trying to take it easy on his shifts, spending most of the time in the office watching the cameras, filing paperwork and only doing rounds when it was necessary. Unfortunately now seemed to be one of those times. Classes had just started, so most students were out of the halls meaning he probably wouldn't run into anyone on his walk. Though it wasn't typical for him, at the moment that suited Declan just fine. He threw on a jacket over his light sweater before heading out for the walk around the campus.

With stomach cramps, headache and nausea, it would have been a smarter decision to ask Garret to cover his shift  so Dec could rest. It didn't make sense to the dryad why he was feeling ill and he was focusing on that while walking. He was a tree. He wasn't supposed to catch bugs like the flu. His usual route was taking twice as long, something Declan noticed when he was close to the staff apartments. He paused for a moment, trying to get the energy together to make it back to the office. It wasn't working. Dec closed his eyes as the ground rushed forward to catch him as he passed out.

Declan had picked Garret up within ten minutes as promised, and then spent the next hour driving into Danvers and grabbing nearly everything needed from the outdoor supply store. A tent, sleeping bag, firestarter, flashlight and extra batteries, and a few other supplies. Now he and Garret were out in the woods on their own. There was a nice creek several yards away, but far enough away so they wouldn't have to worry about wandering into it at night. Bugs weren't as big an issue since it was cooler and they were mostly gone. Setting up the tent, Dec turned to clear out some brush to make room for a campfire. He didn't mind fires too much, as long as dead wood was used. It was part of the experience after all. "So, how are ye finding the woods at this point?"
