Hey, Belby Dude.
How was your moon?
Turns out keeping out of hospital and off the Juice for two months messes with you big time.
I'm still here in the Ward and they want me to stay at least tonight too.
BS if you ask me, just want a higher bill for the month?
Well. Hope yours was better.

She shrugged one shoulder, "Works for me, we just can't let the nurses see. I'm not supposed to leave the hospital till they and my father agree." She knew Campbell meant well, but damn did he make it hard to remember that sometimes.

Kieran looked better this time, taller when he was slouching in his office or in an alley smoking, hiding from the chill wind. He looked like he'd slept a little better lately - the bags under his eyes weren't as dark. They must've given him some strong Wolfsbane last week for the Moon, for him to sleep better. Good for him.

They were still working on her dosages, and she was still craving drugs, and sex, and shopping (she hated shopping!) and maybe jumping off something very tall with nothing to slow her down. The 'Juice' this moon hadn't helped take the edge off.

So she followed this near-stranger to a tea room she'd never been in and through the floo network together to a flat she didn't recognize. Must be his. Kind of reminded her of him, a little rough around the edges, but potential.

She turned and dusted the ash off her shoulders and set her backpack down, before grabbing him suddenly by the front of his shirt and laying a fierce kiss on his lips. Stepping back, slightly dizzy from barely itching the scratch of her mania, she smirked, "Thanks for springing me, you didn't have to do that."

Kieran stepped into his flat still reeling from his impetuous decision. He barely knew her and he sprung her from a private ward at Mungos? And who was her father that he could confine her to that room? Oh shite! What would he do to me if he figured it out?

He barely regained his bearings when he felt a tug at his shirt and in a split second Maria was kissing him. It was over as quick as it started leaving him spiraling in his own confusion.

"Don't mention it." Seriously, how was he going to explain springing her out of a signature release room.? "I just," he really didn't know what to say. "Something about you having to stay over just rubbed me the wrong way."

She probably thought he really did have some savior complex or something. The truth of it was that it made him think of the way he'd been treated going into Hogwarts. Like an untouchable.

He took a seat on his couch trying to clear his head a bit.

At least he was taking her... mood... in stride. Maybe he knew what it felt like - post-moon mania and all that? Not that this was that; she'd been 'manic' for a couple of months now, since... Albie... But Kieran didn't know all that. She kind of liked that.

She shrugged, "It's not the first time. My Dad's great and all, but he uses his... resources," money and sheer physicality, she thought, "to get what he wants. Sometimes what he wants is to make sure I'm absolutely incapable of getting into trouble." Not that she had been much trouble in her life before the last year or so. She'd been more depressed and listless than anything, if she were honest with herself. Surly, sure, but not causing issues like she had. Not that her dad knew the details of her spiral, but he knew she wasn't well.

"So, you live here?" She asked looking around with a slight wrinkle of her nose. The flat was... disheveled. Like him. She couldn't imagine what it was like to get a flat on one income, a non-profit, Werewolf income at that. She wondered how well Belby Assembly paid - not much by the look of things.

"He sounds controlling." It probably wasn't his place to comment. He didn't have anything to compare it to. It was the Foundation and the Ministry tracking and taking care of him for as long as he could remember.

"I do." For the first time since they arrived, he thought about how chaotic his flat looked. Tracking her moving about the flat, he thought about cleaning the areas she had already seen.

"I hadn't exactly expected company." Well, not a hospital escape at least. He stood up trying to remember if there was anything he would be embarrassed for a guest to see.

Maria shrugged again, "Pros and cons - I let him control things, I never have to worry about a single luxury in the world, except for freedom anyway. And anyway, it's for my own good," she didn't elaborate.

"Anyway," she said, repeating herself and starting to feel... intrusive. She gave him one more shrug before heading towards what she figured was the exit - "Thanks for the jail break," she threw out with a wild smile, before disappearing behind his door and heading out into the busy streets to disappear for a few hours - or a few days, who knew, really.
