Going for a Walk with Through the City (Thomas)
The streets were still behaving themselves. She still had to go food shopping, but she was lucky in that Shadowcrest cleaned itself. She did have to do laundry though. Her house drew the line there. And she could still teleport, but she wasn't doing that today. Today she was going for a walk.

She was worried about Dinah. Her friend and collegue in fishnets was really hurting. Zee wanted her help her as much as possible, but when you're that hurt sometimes the best help was to be left alone. She didn't want to pressure Dinah at all so she stuck to calling her to check in and dropping by if she didn't answer.

Having a leader for the League was another thought occupying her mind. And Lindsey. He was usually in the back of her mind somewhere, and thoughts of him never failed to make her smile, but not today. Unfortunately, he would have to take a back seat to the other things that demanded her attention. She'd call him, but she didn't want to take her problems there.

Needless to say she was a bit distracted on her stroll.

Thomas wasn't exactly happy about how things had gone with the bird woman. He'd gotten food out of it, that was true. But in the end, he'd learned how ungrateful she was for the things that he'd provided. He'd given her much, and still she wasn't happy.

So he was distracted as well as he moved about within his own streets. He didn't see the magician until he ran into her. It wasn't a hard impact, but it was enough to jar him out of his thoughts.

Thomas was unsure of how this one would be. She was a tricky one, in more ways than the obvious.

"Hello." He said, finally.

She yelped when she bumped into someone, jumping back and clapping her hand to her chest. Nothing quite like being on the receiving end of having the bejeepers scared out of you to make you swear off randomly teleporting from now on!

As she worked on swallowing her heart back into her chest her next concern was for the guy she just ran into. "Oh stars, I'm sorry. Are you okay?"

Thomas' eyes narrowed as he looked at her. He had seen her in action. That house of hers had demanded coming along as much as he had thought it would be good to bring it. He always wanted to make sure those he brought had homes to go to after all; he wanted them happy. This one and that crone both seemed at odds with the homes he'd brought for them.

"Yes?" The answer seemed safe enough. Thomas gave her a once over and supposed he should follow with "Are you okay?"

The one called Beauty would probably have been proud. Perhaps. He was concerned that he had acted rashly with that bird woman, but he knew she should have been thankful. He wasn't going to go back and apologize for what he knew was true.

The dubious answer made her brows lift a little before she offered a smile. "Yeah. Thanks." She eyed him in case he was another newbie to the City. It's been that kind of week.

"I'll just...make a mental note to pay more attention where I'm walking." Seriously. Her bumping into guys was beginning to become something of a habit. Was she cursed? Maybe. She'd have to look into it. It wouldn't be a sucky curse as far as curses go. It allowed her to meet Lindsey after all. But also Jack Douchy Heart.

"Yes. And, you may want to do the same for your porting. You could end up in a building." Thomas was trying to be kind with this. Just a soft warning. There were times the City tried to make sure the people using their abilities got what they wanted, yet it wasn't the easiest when buildings and such had to be moved, looked after, just taken care of. Running a city at the City's level was much harder than one might think.

"Be careful." Thomas nodded, patting her shoulder absently, and started to look around for the street he wanted. He knew every street, house, person within the walls; he knew where everything and everyone was...usually.

	Now her brows shot straight up to her hair line and she blinked, flat out stunned to her toes. She turned as he walked past her then came to her senses. "Wait!" She reached out to touch his shoulder, her brows coming down in confusion. "What?" Okay. So she was a little monosyllabic at the moment. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Be careful." Thomas turned to look at her. At least she hadn't bumped into him; he didn't like being bumped into, or so he was deciding. He looked over her again, head tilting as he thought. "Thank you." He wasn't sure what else to say and started to turn away to go wherever he'd decided to go. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Yes, I got that part." Now she was getting a little irritated. Zee could lean towards the paranoid when the situation called for it. She caught his shoulder again and tugged to get him to stop. "I meant more like how did you know about that?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Thomas would have been just fine if she'd let him go. She didn't. Instead, she had to grab him. If the world was as it should be, then this would never happen, or Thomas could have done something to show her exactly how he should not handle her. Thomas' eyes narrowed.

"You want to let me go. You will want to let me go very quickly." He may not have had the power, but he would get what he wanted eventually.

	She took her hand back and held them both up. "Whoa. Relax. I'm not going to hurt you. Promise." She eyed him closely, this time opening her senses to see what she could pick up on off this guy. "I just want to know who you are and how you knew about my teleporting." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Thomas looked at her, really looked at her. He pulled back his shoulders and tightened his chin. He was not happy. People were going to pay for all they had or hadn't done while in this body.

"I am someone who knows." Coming out and saying who he really was didn't seem like a good idea quite yet. "I am someone you do not want to anger. That is all you need to know."

	She rolled her eyes for the bravado. She wasn't looking to piss this guy off, but he seemed hell bent on being pissed off no matter what she did. Fine. She didn't need another problem, thanks. "Whatever." She waved him off with a vague gesture of her hand and turned to walk away. (Reply to this) (Parent)
