Yanni had been dwelling on recent events for a while, now. Walking down the street, limping from opened and restitched wounds, the gem witch couldn't help but let her thoughts drift to the kid. He had disappeared that night again, before she could get to him. Was he alright? Was he being taken care of?
With a sigh, she pulled the hook of her sweatshirt over her blonde hair, and tried to shrug the thoughts away. She looked down the street, anxious to get home. Lochlyn and Jacob had no idea where she lived. The house was sanctuary. It had been a perfect sanctuary for the last three years she'd been in Wing City.
Just as she was about to give up, her eyes caught the face of a young boy that she was passing by. She paused, watching him walk down the street a ways.

He was getting used to this.
Nathaniel smiled broadly over his shoulder as he sauntered out of the discreet little building, the light spilling out into the night warmly. A female figure appeared silhouetted in the doorway, leaning on the frame. "Same time tomorrow, sweetheart?" the figure queried, her voice sultry and teasing.
"But of course," the red-headed angel replied, walking backwards as he moved away, "Have I ever missed a date, Tali? And blow Arty a kiss for me when he wakes up. I wouldn't want him to think I left without saying goodbye."
"Now you know we don't do kisses, love," Talia replied, turning to swing the door closed.
"I'll be sure not to tell your boss about an hour ago then!" Nathaniel called after her, chuckling as he started to make his way down the street.

Mishkah pulled the collar of her coat tighter around her neck. It truly was a chilly winter's day in the city. Taking in a deep breath, her dog like hears raising up before curling back on the long exhale, seeing her breath caught in the cool air.
"Keeps this up, it may snow."
The shopping district was some blocks and a lengthy walk for Mishkah to have to commute just to do a little shopping. It was times like these she wished she could drive, or even had a car for that matter. As she walked, she came to walk in step with a young man, or teen rather, that seemed to be heading in th same direction.

Adrian looked up with a start as Yanni spoke, jumping away from her in shock, anticipating ... well, he didn't know what. Something unpleasant. He was ready to vanish into nothingness when he recognised her.
"Fuck! Don't creep up on me like that!" he hissed, wringing his hands.
"Fuck! Don't creep up on me like that!" he hissed, wringing his hands.
"Creep up on you?" said Yanni, raising a brow. She pulled her hood down just a bit, giving him a smirk. "It's like you didn't see that you just walked right by me!" She shuffled up to him, trying not to think of the numerous bullet injuries she had received not too long before. Jacob had taken a nice little machine gun to her while she was hiding in a vent. Somehow, she survived. It all still hurt like hell.
Her gaze shifted to the young woman that was coming towards them, blinking at the...animal ears...but she didn't think much of it. She walked right up to Adrian, attempting a smile.
"How've you been? After that night I got a little worried."

“It's good to see that the last of the Seraph has found such invigorating uses of his time,” Taima observed, her voice a rumbling growl. The note of chastisement was difficult to pick out beneath the roughness of her voice, but her eyes betrayed her disapproval.
As Nethaniel turned towards the source of the voice, he would find a warrior standing at the street side – seemingly overlooked in his initial departure. Tall and proud, Taima was a looming figure, and though her fierce visage held the snarling likeness of her draconian lines, there was a sense of divinity to the creature; a strength that ran deeper than flesh.

Mishkah stopped as the teen ahead of her had once a dark skinned woman had... startled him. It was evident they knew each other simply by their interactions. Mishkah was a patient creature, even as Adrian and Yanni blocked the sidewalk with their chatter.
Mishkah could have easily stepped out onto the street to bypass the visiting couple, however she dared not due to past events and the developed fear of being struck by a vehicle. For now, she merely watched, listen, and waited.

Adrian shrugged, "I wasn't paying attention." he grumbled, chastising himself for being so inattentive. Anyone could have snuck up on him! But then, until recently, he'd not had to worry about people sneaking up on him. Except maybe a mugger, and they seldom picked on kids that didn't look like they had shit all to steal.
"I'm alive," he replied, shrugging, "No better or worse than before. I get by."
"I'm alive," he replied, shrugging, "No better or worse than before. I get by."
"Are you living somewhere?" Yanni asked immediately, pushing her frozen fingers into her pockets. "Have you run into any of Lochlyn's men at all?"
Something made the woman uneasy. She simply had to look to her left, where she was sure...
...ah. Yes. There were eyes looking at them. She stared back at Mishkah for a long while, then looked back at Adrian. "Just getting by isn't always the best way to be. You're not being taken care of by anyone, are you?"
She looked towards Mishkah once more.

"The last of the what now?" Nathaniel turned back towards the brothel to give Taima a scowl, "Now I don't know where you heard that word, but I assure you that whatever you've heard is wrong. The world has pretty precious little info on me."
Nathaniel surveyed the dragon-being before him with a grimace, "Who are you, and what do you want? Wherever you heard that name, I'm retired now. It's irrelevant."

"A little bit of a lot of somewheres," Adrian replied, "That's how I work. It's how I've always worked. I'm a squatter, but people are still in the places I squat in." The youth shook his head, "I've not run into anyone that seemed interested in me. That's the most I can say."
At Yanni's final question, he shrugged, "It's what I know. I don't need anyone to take care of me. I can take care of myself."

An odd discussion, certainly one as young appearing as Adrian wasn't out on his own, was he? Mishkah didn't mean to eavesdrop, but it was hard not to when the ones she was listening to blocked her path. She could have easily asked them to step aside, momentarily, to allow her to pass, however, Mishkah wasn't much for talking to unknown people. Such a shy creature she was.
Mishkah averted her gaze as Yanni looked to her, she didn't want to come off as rude. Her gaze fell upon something across the street every time Yanni looked in her direction, eye contact no doubt warranted interaction.

...Yanni was sure that girl had been staring at them, but every time she looked over she always looked away. Were they so interesting?
...was she with Lochlyn, by chance? Oh, she doubted it, the girl didn't look the type, but...it was Wing City. He could have recruited anyone.
"...that's got to be hard, for someone your age." she told Adrian, glancing back at him. "Doesn't that get tiring? Don't you have anyone to spend time with?"

“Retired?” Taima asked. “I was not aware that a sacred duty was something one retired from.” The draconian gave her head a shake.
“Perhaps I was mistaken,” she remarked. “I came looking for a Seraph. Perhaps you might know where I could find one.”
“Perhaps I was mistaken,” she remarked. “I came looking for a Seraph. Perhaps you might know where I could find one.”
Adrian scoffed, "That's never worked out well before. And I'm older than I look, anyway. I've been on my own for six years. I can handle it." He sighed, looking down, "I'm sorry. I don't mean to be unpleasant, I'm just ... not used to talking to people much."
Another sigh escaped Mishkah's lips as she waited patiently, though now her patience was being tested. Then again, the conversation between the two was fascinating, especially when they spoke of this Lochlyn character.
As the pair carried on their discussion, Mishkah's canine like ears perked and angled slightly in Yani and Adrian's direction, as it was her point of interest. Her head remained angled to face across the street, though her eyes peered at them from the corners.

"Hah," Nathaniel looked down at the ground, before he broke out into full-fledged laughter. "Ahahaha, I'm sorry. Please, forgive me for this. I just can't help myself. It's funny, you know?" Looking back up, he raised his hands in a shrug, "Where you might find one? Beats me, o' lady dragon. You are a lady, right? It's hard to tell. Because if I'm not one, nobody is. At least I'm still here."
He turned around, rolling his eyes. "You try protecting an entire world on your own, that doesn't want to be protected. Then call me and tell me I'm not well within my rights to enjoy some weed and hookers of an evening."

"Hey, no," she said, putting her hands up, "It's alright. I was...I was the same at your age." She gestured behind her, where, a few blocks down, her house lay. "-But if you want, if you're comfortable with it, you're welcome to stay with me. It's a three bedroom house. I'm not the best cook, but it's warm and it's shelter and there's a lot of microwavable goods. It'd weigh less on my conscience knowing you weren't freezing to death, too. But that's all up to you."
It was ever so awkward telling him. How much reason did he have to trust her? She was as good as a stranger, almost. But it was something.
...and it was better than having to look across the street at a very strange dog-eared person listening in on them.
"...can I help you?" she asked Mishkah.

Adrian looked up at Yanni, then down at the ground. He was peripherally aware of Mishkah's presence, but confident enough that she wasn't up to anything that he was pretending she wasn't there. Did he want somewhere reliable to stay? He'd tried it a few times before. There were the hostels, the foster parents. He'd never lasted more than two weeks in one place. People would always try and tell him what he could and couldn't do, like he didn't know better how to take care of himself.
He sighed, "I don't know how well that would work out." he said, shaking his head, "I've never stayed with anyone for long. It's never meshed well with me, not since ... since I left home." Maybe there was something about sneaking his way into peoples' houses and rooms with them none the wiser that made things seem exciting.
That sounded a little creepy though, so he wasn't gonna go with that.
"I guess it can't hurt to stay a while. I don't know how long for."

Mishkah was standing on their side of the street and was blocked by the conversing pair, merely using the opposite side as though something interesting was occurring, though there really wasn't.
Mishkah was startled as the woman addressed her, her head snapping to Yanni. The dog like woman felt her body tense as she was now put on the spot. Her eyes darted between Yanni and Adrian as she thought of something to say, anything really. The logical thing for Mishkah to have said was to excuse her and that she would like to pass by, how difficult was it to say?
It came as a shock to herself when Mishkah said something completely different...like; "No, I'm just walking... er... was walking." how awkward.
"Erm... would you happen to know how to get to mainstreet?" Mishkah quickly inquired as she looked about with a awkward smile.

"Hey, that's all fine," Yanni said to him. "Stay as long as you want. It's not like I'm forcing you to do anything, alright?" She laughed. "You'll be a guest! Though, it might be best if you at least leave a note when you do. So I don't worry."
And then, again, to Mishkah...this weird, weird dog-eared girl...
"Main Street? Just a few blocks down from here, to your left. It'll be hard to miss. There'll be explosions right outside Gambit's, I'm sure, and if there aren't explosions, any shouts or fights or women wearing next to nothing should signal you're in the right place."

“Still here,” Taima agreed. She paused and glanced overhead to view the sign that hung over the establishment.
'One Stop Joy Ride For Guys and Gals'
One could almost see the skepticism in her draconic visage. Somehow she suspected Nathaniel's reasons for remaining in this realm didn't have much to do with duty, and more to do with personal gratification.

"Okay, I guess." Adrian said, nodding tentatively, "I'm not putting my foot back in that .. suited guy business again am I? 'Don't care about being shot repeatedly' guy?"
He shuddered, "Most guys just take a kick to the nuts and they're gone before they figure out I'm invisible. That guy's ... yeah, no."
