Courting Disaster Who: Christopher ( antekhrestos ) and Enola ( brighter_tmrw ); guest-starring Jasmine the German Shepherd What: Introductions When:Tuesday Thursday Morning Where: Central Park
He'd been waiting and watching for weeks now, hoping for the right time. He was studying her habits, the sort of person she was as seen by a casual pedestrian. Who could tell what she really was? She was very good at 'playing the human'. If he wasn't what he was, he wouldn't have ever caught on. He'd be oblivious to everything, minus the fact that a pretty woman was a regular jogger in the park.
He idly scratched Jasmine's ears as he waited, seated in the early morning sunshine. The addition of the lanky pup to his life made the plan easier, and it was just another reason why he loved the dog so much. It was difficult for him to understand, or even attempt to explain to himself - he wasn't supposed to love. Didn't it defeat the purpose? Wasn't he supposed to be the antithesis of everything remotely resembling love? It seemed as if God has a sense of humor after all, platypii aside.
"Do you remember the plan, Jazzy-girl?" He murmured, looking down at his companion. She simply wagged her tail against his leg.
He got up and off the bench, glancing at his watch as he started down the path. If she was punctual, they were right on schedule. He eased them into a jog, then a brisk run.
"All right - go!" He released the leash and the dog shot off with all the exhuberance of inexhaustible energy. He let her get some distance ahead, then gave chase, raising his voice.
