Acclimated to Odd [Cupid Challenge: Aeon]
Schmendrick was older than he looked, and he'd seen a lot of weird things in his day. Perhaps that was why, as a wave of swooning romantic sentiment overtook the City, he went casually about his routine as if nothing were off. He purchased a coffee at the corner store, picked up a newspaper, and made his way into the park to find a bench and start his morning. The quiet flipping of pages was interrupted only occasionally, when the tall hook-nosed man glanced up to watch clingy couples walk by.

For a showman, Schmendrick had always been a restrained sort when it came to romance. Youth had long since passed him by, and while he was earnest, he wasn't effusive. Perhaps that's why the couples made him smile; just because the sentiment behind Valentine's Day was no longer new and fresh for him didn't mean that he couldn't appreciate the joy of others.

He folded his paper. He wasn't likely to get much reading done with the City in such a worked-up state.

Having clothes that weren't torn to hell was a nice start to this particular day. So was not dying.

Yet.

Aeon was a little preoccupied with what Jesse'd told her. About having the powers of God. Her eyebrows were furrowed as she walked down the street, hands tucked into the pockets of a black leather jacket. She shook black hair out of her eyes. The absolute last thing on her mind was the man nearby with his coffee and his paper.

That didn't mean she didn't smirk at him as she approached.

Schmendrick looked up just in time to catch the smirk. The return grin was warm, amused, and it was still on his face as he ducked his head and shoved the paper under his arm. He'd finally given up on the robe; though he really didn't care what other people thought of him, he found that sometimes blending in was actually useful. Today, he was just another guy in a modern shirt-and-pants.

He reached for his coffee, but sometimes his luck didn't want to cooperate. The cup teetered on the edge of the bench, then splashed all over the ground at his feet. Some people would've cursed - Schmendrick let out a sharp bark of a laugh. Great.

	Aeon laughed. How could you not laugh? This guy was funny. He was bumbling and... ...cute. Her eyebrows furrowed. WHAT? Why did she find him cute? What happened? Dean Winchester was her kind of cute... the kind that could kill you, maybe. This? This was Una's kind of cute. She smiled at him, and sidled over to the bench. (Reply to this) (Parent)
