WHO: Isolde Montgomery & Zacharias Smith
WHEN: Evening, Sunday, 25 August
WHERE: In the town fountain. No, really.

It was hot. Too damn hot. For anything. For breathing. And the only relief that Issy had had all day was when she had stripped down to her unmentionables and climbed into the fountain in the square. And nobody was going to ruin that for her. Especially not Zacharias Smith and his empty threats of coming to stop her. Please.

Even if he did show up, she was absolutely certain that she could take him.

Issy tilted her head to the side and admired that bared chest for a moment. Zacharias Smith might be a total prick, but that didn't mean that she couldn't admire a well-chiseled set of abs, okay?

She wasn't sure if it was those abs or the disgruntled expression, but she suddenly felt much better disposed towards him.

"Oh come on," she said, holding up her hands. "What's it hurting? Admit it, it feels nice. I won't tell."

	"It makes the town look immature, anti-social and lawless," said Zach, looking up so he could inspect the tips of his hair. "No. You're getting a fine. I'll book myself too, so don't whine." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"Oh for fuck's sake," Issy snarled, just barely managing to keep from pulling her own hair out. The man was infuriating! Was he actually incapable of allowing himself to have a bit of fun for thirty seconds?

She pulled out her wand and cast a glamour over the fountain that made it seem peaceful and undisturbed to anyone who looked. "There. No one can see us. Now would you please relax for half a damn minute and admit that this is the first time you have been a comfortable temperature in two days?!?"

"This is not your fountain to take over and play with at will," said Zach, steely. He took off her glamour. "If you want to cool down go sit in your bathtub, or go nick Jennie's boyfriend, who is apparently marvelous at cooling charms."

He stepped out. "No, I feel fine. Sitting in a fountain is ridiculous and desperate." But he didn't dry his clothes yet. And it had given him a plan for tomorrow, if the heatwave didn't break.

Oh, that was it. Issy snapped.

"You know what?!" she practically shouted at him, climbing out of the fountain. "This this why nobody likes you! You're completely and utterly unable to have fun! All you care about is what the rules say or what other people might think! Sod other people! I was having fun! I wasn't hurting anyone! And now you've ruined my night for no real reason except that you want everyone to be as miserable and alone as you are!"

Snatching up her clothes, she stormed off down the street toward her house. She didn't care who saw her underwear. She didn't want to be anywhere near Zacharias Smith.

That caught him by surprise. Zacharias didn't know Isolde was that fragile. Maybe he'd have to be more civil in the future. Unless she was one of those anarchists. Who cared what they thought. The rules were in place for a reason and while Isolde may not have been causing anyone 'harm', you let one person bend the rules and the next whole families will be bringing their children and treating the fountain like their own pool and letting their little brats pee in it. It was a slippery slope.

Someone had to keep the order, and since his Dad seemed more doddery than Zach remembered, and Sepphora only cared for tutting from afar and not real action, he'd have to be him.
