A smile lit up her face as she felt his hand grab hers, and she turned back to face him. Gently biting her lip, she listened to him ramble on about how the chief had given him some rest time, too bad it was only half a day. "I had just figured, maybe you wanted some 'Daisetsu only" time." She teased, just about to say something else as she found his lips pressed against hers. The crimson was already rising in her cheeks when he pulled away, and she was about to sit back down when his phone rang. Dammit, she thought, already knowing it would be the station calling him back in. She sighed, following him and slumping down on the couch, a somewhat-pouty face growing. It made her feel bad, but she had to listen to his conversation. The woman that James had told her about earlier..well that wasn't a wound a human could inflict.
Sometimes being a Tedlar can come in handy. Or, at least being her can come in handy.
It wasn't difficult to hear the conversation, and she almost snickered as she heard the almost constant shuffling of papers. But all the amusement drained from her mind as she heard more details, she had to cover her sharp intake of breath with a cough. "You have to leave?" Calla sighed, eyes cast downwards. "Be careful," Rising from the couch, she reached to give him a quick kiss. "-I'll miss you." She would miss him, but she also didn't plan on being very far away from him tonight. As soon as he left, she was going to the body.
She walked with him to the door. "Are you sure you have to go?" She knew she couldn't get him to stay, but she wished she could. If he was with her then she would be able to protect him so much better, but she knew he didn't really need her protection. Though looking at him now, she realized something. There was nothing else that she could ever love as much as him, and she made up her mind. After she saw the body, she was going to find North.
