“——Long time no see,”
——— his voice comes from virtually nowhere, born of lightning strikes and the patter of rain against the sidewalk mixed with the fog of chilled breaths. It’s familiar in nature, calm and collected just like the night he left her on the curb after nearly freezing his fingertips off at her side. It wouldn’t be the first time he’s gone out of his way to do something nice for her but he never exactly expected to wind up here again, especially it if meant running into her.
He can’t say he hasn’t wondered, and he’s glad that he’s not here for her, but rather just passing through to go take here of a nest of vamps downstate. His jacket slides over her shoulders, framing her small figure in a shroud of denim and musk. A smile has worked its way onto his face,
”How’ve you been?"
Snapped out of her thoughts from the voice that filters her ears, azure eyes shifting from wet sidewalk to the male now at her side. Dark lashes caress pale, damp cheeks as she blinks once. Twice. Assuring herself that the man beside her was whom she thought it was. Unexpected, if she were honest with herself. Quite awhile had it been since they first met, and in dangerous circumstances. Her powers on the verge of losing control. But he had proven to her that there are merciful hunters in the world. For where would she be if he hadn't helped her retreat to where she is most safe?
Slender fingers curl around the newfound fabric draped over shoulders, contemplating giving it back until the sound of pattering rain reached her ears once more, pulling the jacket closer to herself as a form of comfort.
"Hey... I-I've been fine. Though I have had better days before."
Her head cants to the side, motioning toward the rain outside of her small protected area beneath the awning of a small shop.
"What are you doing here?"
