Restless Wanderers

Restless Wanderers A pen–to register; a key– That winds through secret wards Are well assigned to Memory By allegoric Bards. Oh! that our lives, which flee so fast, In purity were such, That not an image of the past Should fear that pencil’s touch! With heart as calm as lakes that sleep, In frosty moonlight glistening; Or mountain rivers, where they creep Along a channel smooth and deep, To their own far-off murmurs listening.

“Well, those moments when I do get out for lunch, there is one resturant that I like to go to. They have the best soup. And there is a spot int he park that keeps you kind of away from people, but also near them.” He responded, letting his shoulders rise and fall as he answered her question.·“I’m sure I have a few like that. And others. It’s always been easy to keep things to myself.”·

“It sounds lovely.” Especially with the tone that Adam used. It was that passion and affection again. She liked hearing that. “Maybe you’ll take me there when I come to visit then? It sounds like it’s going to take more than one lunch time... is that something that would bother you?” She asked after a moment. “Don’t you like sharing them with other people?”

“Brussels sprouts are number one. Those are terrible. And key lime pie. Don’t ask me why, but I was never able to get into it.” She commented, shrugging her shoulders like those were a normal answers. Arya laughed and nodded her head. “They are doing perfectly fine. Mum and Dad are just doing their own thing, probably happy to have less of us in the house. Brothers are all being themselves. I mean, they like to add big and bold, but sometimes ti gets to be a lot. And Sansa is doing good.” She replied. 

“Key Lime Pie? You really are a monster.” Hunter answered in mock disgust when the girl stated she didn’t like key lime pie. “I’m glad to hear the whole family is well. I’m also glad I don’t have to pretend I didn’t see some of the stuff they get up to.” Nothing illegal of course but sometimes even he had to roll his eyes at their activities.

“Yes, philosophy. I learn from my students everyday.” Aslan smiled, sitting across from the young man. “My name is Aslan, I teach at the university. You’re a high school teacher I take it?”

“What makes you assume I am a high school teacher.” Remus asked, raising an eyebrow as he picked up the coffee and began to drink it, humming at the familiar taste that warmed his core.

Steve couldn’t help but chuckle. “There’s a few mugs of beer with my name on it at the bar a few blocks down.” He smiled and caught the water with his free hand. The bleeding had stopped and with his one good eye, he looked back at his new acquaintance. “There’s not any chance you’re looking for a drinking buddy are you? Can’t say I’m in the mood to drink alone. I already feel like a loser tonight.” He joked.

Rick hummed, apparently making a show of thinking about it though the smirk suggested otherwise. “A drinking buddy wouldn’t be the worst thing in the world. Hell, I’d say I owe you at least one tonight for the fact you won me some cash.” He stated, motioning to the other man. “If you get yourself sorted we can head there.”

“It would be best.” Adam knew that he wanted to spend more time with Belle, but he also wanted to keep those worlds from blending. So, if he could keep them close, but not too close, that would be best. hearing her words, he smiled and nodded his head. “Well, let me know when you’re on your way and I can tell you the best place to go for food. And if you play your cards right, I might even show you the best place to eat lunch in the city.” He told her with a proud smile. Adam had his own little escape in the city he worked in. 

“Oh? So you have a place too hm?” Belle commented, leaning in a bit and smiling. “Well then I’m definitely going to have to make the effort because now I am intrigued.” Plus she liked seeing that smile that was currently etched onto Adam’s face and she knew she’d do anything to make sure it resided there more often. “Do you have lots of secrets like that?”

Brody nodded his head at the other mans words, giving a small laugh. “Yeah, sometimes it can make things just that much harder, but it has to be done one way or another.” He commented. 

“So is this some top secret thing or can I ask what you’re attempting to build?” Bucky questioned after a moment, sinking further into his seat and taking a sip of the coffee he’d picked up. “I guess I probably shouldn’t be so nosy but I’ve always been the curious type.”

“Good. Happy to hear it.” He replied. Peeta had always been good at customer service, but luckily this customer was pleasant and easy to work with. “We look forward to having you back. And have a good birthday!”

Arya felt the smile on her lips as continued to eat, enjoying the food in front of her. “Always. You’ll never hear me turn down food. Unless it’s something I don’t like, which is usually rare to find.” 

“And what are on the list of things you don’t like?” Hunter asked as he popped a fry into his mouth. “How is the rest of your family by the way? Considering the amount of them, I actually haven’t bumped into any others for while.”

[rcstlcsswandcrcrs]

Peeta smiled and shrugged his shoulders. “It’s our pleasure.” He spoke, giving a friendly smile. “We look for to seeing you back around. You’ll have to let us know which flavors you liked the most.” 

“Oh I most definitely will, you can be assured of that.” He grabbed hold of the bags on his already bulging arms and smiled, giving the other male one last nod. “I’ll see you again soon.”

Brody nodded his head at the other mans words. “Honestly, I’m usually working with my hands more than working on the math of things, but this is one of the instances where I actually have to focus more on the math than anything else.” 

“Glad I’m not in your shoes. I’m not sure that’s really my line of expertise. As I said. I see things. Math just tends to complicate it.” That didn’t mean he was completely incompetent but it did mean he tried to stay away from it where possible.

Adam nodded his head a little, eyes looking at his plate for a moment before he answered. “How about we just go with me coming to you. It’ll probably be good to get out of the office a little bit more.” He offered. Truth was, Adam honestly didn’t want Belle meeting his father. Like he was trying to keep something from his father’s wrath. “Maybe one of these days we can do lunch. Might be a crazy day where I actually eat properly.” 

“If that’s what you want, I’ll respect your wishes.” Belle assured the man. The last thing she wanted was to upset him and she could tell it was a sore subject. Not that it surprised her from what she’d learned about him. “But I’d definitely like lunch. If you tell me a little sooner, I could go out and get it for you so that we have it bought. All we have to do then is find somewhere pretty to sit down and eat.”

Adam didn’t like talking about his work with others, mostly because he didn’t like talking about his father. And with Belle, he kind of wanted to keep those world separated. “My workplace is just something I don’t necessarily talk about with most people. I love my work. I love being a lawyer, but you know, sometimes things get a little tense.” His father was cut throat, and Adam could be too, but he never was to that extent. “I don’t know if you’ll really want to stop by, it can be a lot. Definitely not the same as where you work.” 

“Well then maybe it’ll mean you’ll have to come to me. Get you out of that office for ten minutes.” Belle reasoned softly, letting her index finger play along the ridge of the glass of water in front of her gently. “But it’s fine if you’d rather I didn’t. I wouldn’t want to show you up in your place of work.”

Brody laughed a little bit and nodded his head. “I’d say sorry, but that’s not something I can help.” He joked. “Oh, no,” The male replied, showing his work a little. “Yeah, engineering. Just trying to help put peoples random ideas into motion.” 

“Sorry, stuff like this just fascinates me though. I’m more hands on myself though. Prefer building it to this side of things.” He explained giving a slight shrug of his shoulders. “Something soothing and satisfying about making things work again or taking them apart and putting them back together, you know?”

“I take that as a compliment then,” she beamed at Sven.

“You should. There is nothing fun about being exactly the same as everyone else. You’re special Anna.” He complimented in a tender tone, gently nudging his friend.

“Oh my goodness, I am so so sorry!” Anna cried out. “I’m terribly clumsy but this is the first time I actually hit someone and…” Anna rambled, looking terrified.

Peter let out a little bit of a chuckle and held a hand up. “It’s fine. I mean... you didn’t mean to do it. No harm no foul.” He spoke in an attempt to calm the girl down. “Not the first time I’ve ended up hit...” He paused a moment before clarifying. “I play a lot of sports so it happens from time to time. I don’t make a habit of causing girls to hit me... just to point out.”

“Oi, my ladies are all very important to me and calling them conquests is a no-no,” he tsked. “Well it was either you or Pads, and he has a tattoo on his ass so I would’ve remembered if it was him,” James stuck his tongue at Remus, then rolled his eyes. “There’s no reason,” he said more firmly.

“Is it really?” A smile ghosted over Remus’ lips at that and he shook his head. James and Sirius really were as bad as one another. Still, despite having heard the other male discussing his and various other peoples bodies before, it still made his cheeks flame. “I don’t want to know how you saw me naked then.” He stated, shaking his head as though he was trying to shake the thought right out of his head. “Right... okay. If there ends up being a reason though, I reserve the right to say I told you so, Prongs.”

“You’re a good singer though, that’s where the main difference is,” James pointed out, then sighed. “Will I get anything for serenading you?” He asked, caressing her arm.

A coy smile drifted over her lips when she felt the touch of James’ hand feather light on her arm. It drew delightful little goosebumps to the surface of her skin and she leaned into the touch slightly. “Oh I don’t know... what would it take to get you to serenade me, hm?” Bea asked back, prompting the male to name his price.
