• It was busier that night for some reason she just hadn't been able to figure out, so it was later before she managed to get away - the bar had been a bit of a mess and they had been short-staffed. Sure enough though, she emerged on her own, too late to catch the bus and too stubborn to take a taxi, but walking at her purposeful speed. Hands shoved into the pockets of her charcoal wool coat - one tight around her cell phone - she glanced either way quickly before heading off in the direction of her apartment building. Her light blonde waves had been pulled out of their tie before she left the club and were in contrast to her all-black uniform of boots, gauchos, and the lacy bustier beneath her coat. As she marched - on the edge of the sidewalk closest to the streets, farthest from the dark entrances to the sidestreets and alleys - her face was tipped down at the ground, but she glanced up every once few steps with just her eyes.

• He watched her emerge and then watched how she carried herself down the sidewalk. After a few minutes of this, he lengthened his stride and caught up with her, speaking in his low, soft tone. "Eyes up. Confidence, less likely to be approached." He stated, probably the most words he had said in a row to her, even though it wasn't exactly a full sentance. He shoved his hands into his pockets, walking beside her. He had to shorten his strides to keep walking next to her instead of in front of her but he had long legs, so that tended to happen with just about anyone...

• Her breath caught softly as he spoke - she hadn't been expecting anyone and had been hoping for no one, and she was definitely surprised when, after just a moment, she recognized him. "Thanks, coach." Her tone was quietly affectionate - she knew nothing about him, and yet was quite fond of him. She owed him a lot, and he was oh-so-intriguing, and she had definitely hoped to run into him again. Her shoulder bumped gently against his, and she glanced over at him for a few steps before looking ahead to where she was going. Not a lot fazed her, and though she had been definitely shaken by her close encounter, she had taken just a night off before continuing on with her normal routine - just quite a bit more cautious.

• "Should get a cab. Not that expensive." He stated before he looked down at the ground briefly and then looked up once again. He was just a guy who looked like it wouldn't be a smart decision to mess with. He wasn't angry looking, persay, but he def. looked like he had been through enough so that he knew how to handle himself and didn't take any bullshit of messing around. His eyes moved over to her, taking in the small amount of skin around her ankles and her delicate feet before his eyes travelled up to the cloth covered legs and then her jacket that hid all her feminine curves from him. He remembered from last time, though, the delicate curve of her chest and hips and found himself wanting another peek at those curves... (NT) -- Fury, Mon, Oct 09 2006, 8:23pm PDT

• "Is when you're going back and forth every night and trying to save something in the bank, honey." She explained easily, but not too adamantly - he was right, but she was really trying hard to not spend any money unless it was completely necessary. She wanted so much to own her own place once day, and she wanted to maybe go back to school to get a better job, but she needed money first. She looked up at him again for another few steps before glancing down once more. "So were you waiting for me or what? Or is this just pure coincidence? I didn't see you inside tonight..." It had been busy though, and there had been another 'tender on shift - she figured that maybe she could have missed him, but she thought that she probably would have noticed him.

• He didn't want to openly admit that he had been waiting for her so he just shrugged, his eyes moving down the sidewalk ahead of them to check everything out before he looked back down to her. "I was in the neighborhood, figured you would be walking and thought you might want some company home." He smirked a little at that, the first real expression on his face since he met her. His smirk was kind of rakish, the innuendo thrown out there. He was a bastard, that was for sure, and he openly admitted it to anyone who asked or insinuated it. He wasn't shy about his sexual appetite nor his need for his solitude enhanced life. (NT) -- Fury, Mon, Oct 09 2006, 9:42pm PDT

• She smirked a little at that herself, amusement lighting her features - 'in the neighborhood' was the oldest excuse in the book, but she didn't bug him about it. She wasn't exactly the best judge of character, and was the first to admit it, but he seemed alright - a little strange for sure, but he had saved her from what would no doubt have been a pretty traumatic incident. He was actually forming almost-sentences now too, so that was a bonus. "I'm really just a couple blocks away... But I don't mind the company." She admitted with a slight shrug, her gaze moving to him more frequently now. "You staying near by, too?" She didn't want to be dragging him all around town just so she could have a little company, but she doubted he would be here if he didn't want to just a little.

• "Good." He stated softly, looking over to her again before he looked ahead once more. "Kind of." It wasn't really close but his bike wasn't to far away and he enjoyed the ride home in the brisk night air. He loved riding at night, the wind freezing his face, the stars above him, the roads mostly deserted...it was a good thing. His eyes moved back to her for a second before he spoke once more. "You like bikes?" He questioned, he really could form full sentance but he just never felt the need too. People talked to much about stupid shit that wasn't worth listening too, or so was his opinion. (NT) -- Fury, Mon, Oct 09 2006, 10:14pm PDT

• She nodded a little and was quiet for a moment - normally she was the chit-chatty night, but she'd been making conversation all night, and he didn't seem to care whether or not she was talking - until his question. "They look good... Never been on one though." She'd always lived in cities - always walked everywhere, driving only occasionally. She glanced up at him with another small smile - not needing to ask if he rode one, because she could picture it already. It fit, for sure. He was a difficult guy to try and figure out, but him riding a motorcycle was one thing that wasn't hard to imagine. One hand left her pocket so that she could link her arm through his - it was chilly and he was walking a little fast for her, besides she was just a friendly, touchy-feely type of person, and he was walking her home.

• He looked down at her when she entwined their arms, his brow raised before he untangled them and shifted to wrap his arm around her waist - it would keep her warmer and closed to him which was what he wanted. He smiled lightly, briefly, so briefly it was almost unnoticable before he spoke again. "Tomorrow we'll ride home." He stated, he'd have to go get a helmet for her - he didn't use one of course - but she would have to wear one. She would like hot in a sleek black helmet, her arms wrapped around his waist as they cruised the streets on his monster of a bike. (NT) -- Fury, Mon, Oct 09 2006, 10:31pm PDT

• She didn't mind when he pulled her closer and instead just slipped her own arm around his waist - she was warmer nearer to him and he just seemed like a bit of a prickly guy so she was pleasantly surprised to find him getting cozy. "Hm." Her lips pursed a little - a coy expression curving her lips as she looked up at him. "You planning on making a habit out of escorting me home, honey?" She wouldn't mind - she hadn't had enough time in this town to really make a group of friends, everyone she spent time with was from work, so the idea of company was appealing. She was social by nature after all, and solitude wasn't really her style - the opposite of him. (NT) -- Taylor, Mon, Oct 09 2006, 10:47pm PDT

• His dark, dark eyes dropped down to hers for a moment before he looked back ahead of them. He didn't even acknowledge the fact that his hand had worked it's way into the pocket of her coat. "Yeah." He did intend to make it a habit, he worried about her for some reason and he didn't worry about a whole lot of people or things so it had to mean something. He might be a solitary man and he might not have a whole lot of respect for anything but he was spiritual in his own way and he didn't mess with destiny. Something had brought this tiny girl into his life and he wasn't about to take chances with her well being. Maybe he was meant to play guardian angel for a bit, as much of a laugh as that was.

• "Well then I don't really need to think about calling a cab, do I? For now at least." She commented more absently than anything - more like thinking aloud - and then fell silent for the last few steps to her building. If he was feeling like maybe he was meant to play her guardian, she was feeling like he was too - it seemed awfully convenient to her that he had shown up at her bar on a quiet night, then been there when she was walking home... She slowed to a stop, pulling him with her and gave his waist a light squeeze before letting him go, her hands shoving back into the pockets of her coat. "Well thanks... Did you want a coffee or a drink or something before you head out?" She was a night person - had no where to be in the morning, didn't mind feeding him or something as thanks for the company.

• He stopped when she did, immediatly letting her go when she pulled back. His hands went back into his pockets, his eyes on her for a moment before they drifted to take in the building she lived in. It looked secure enough, wasn't in a horrible neighborhood but he would like to check it out none the less. "Sure." He nodded a little bit before he gestured for her to go in front of him, his eyes moving to glance over his shoulder for a moment as if just scoping out the area. It was an old habit, one that he couldn't quickly get over and it just made him feel better when he knew his surroundings were secure. (NT) -- Fury, Tue, Oct 10 2006, 9:08pm PDT
