Where: The only pub not decorated for love
When: Thursday Night

Valentine’s was one of those things about humans and supernaturals up here that she just never got. Everything was all done up in red and pink. It was if they needed an excuse to indulge in the things they already indulged in. All in all it seemed a very impractical holiday. Though there were always jobs after Valentine’s from those who had received the ultimate slight. So perhaps the day was not terribly useless. But still Hesper found it a sick sickening in the majority of its ‘sweetness’. Really, why would someone decorate with hearts anyway? They did not even look like real hearts. Plus there was not even any blood with the hearts.
She wandered out into the city and walked into the first pub that was not decorated. The only red in the room was some man’s shirt and she preferred it that way. In fact it looked like she was the only girl in the place that night. It was all too perfect really, cut off from the foolish romantics of the outside world. If she was real lucky there might even be a card game to jump in on in the back room. Though there was a pool table that was looking awfully tempting.
Of course pool was stricken from her mind as two officers past her on the way to the door. She knew they were officers because they had said hello to her, having seen her come to bother Nox at ‘the office’ every so often. Mostly on the days when he was pretty sure that she was up to something and she felt the urge to seem innocent. Giving a wave and a cute smile, she looked over her shoulder to catch a glimpse at one of their behinds. Oh she was so right; it was the one with the cute ass. Smirking contently she headed over to the bar.
But at the bar was an even better prize. If it wasn’t her brother’s adorable partner, maybe it was turning out to be her lucky day. Hale did not like her much, but then again he was as uptight as Nox was so it was understandable. Sliding into the seat next to him she flagged the tender down. “You got anything to make a girl question her better judgment?” she asked the tender with a coy smile.
Maybe today would be some fun after all.
