Crossing Paths

[This trip has been interesting. He's been riding with Cas either behind him or in front of him on the roaring bike. It has also been distracting having her lethal body pressed against him. It's hard to stay focused on driving.

He pulls off the road kicking the bike stand beneath him. He can tell that he's entered Kevin's territory.]

Looks like we're here.

[Freya laughs softly.

She doesn't want to admit that she doesn't have a phone so she just nods her head. She can probably borrow a phone from someone.]

How about you give me your number and we plan to meet up tomorrow night anyway? [If he has plans now then he can tell his brother he's busy.]

[He smiles.]

Yeah, okay. [And he rattles off the number.] I, uh...I had a good time.

[Freya smiles before turning back towards the water. She slips off the rock and into the black murky depths. She then turns and holds out her hand for Kevin. Not because she doesn't think he can get off the rock on his own but because she wants too.]

I did too. It just means we have to top it tomorrow night.

[He grins broadly.]

I'm looking forward to it.

[And he takes her hand, even though he outweighs her by at least two times.]

Good!

[Freya laughs and then pulls Kevin as hard as she can into the water. She lets go of his hand and hastily makes her way towards the shore. She glances behind her once to see if he's close behind her.]

[Caught off guard by suddenly being pulled into the water, he barely has enough time to catch his breath before he falls underwater briefly, but he comes up laughing, and moving after her. She's fast, way faster than him and he can't help continuing to laugh as he makes it to the shore and their clothes. Shakes his head roughly to clear at least some of the water from his hair before he starts to get dressed, he looks over to her.]

You're going to pay for that, you get that, right?

[The water pools and ripples around Freya’s calves while the pads of her feet easily step across the unique rocks littering the shore. Her lips are pulled into a bright and happy smile, while the tips of her long hair stick to her shoulder and back. She has no intention to putting her clothes back on so she remains in her underwear waiting for Kevin by their things.]

I look forward to it.

[She likes to play and she’s finding that she likes to play with Kevin; something similar to a game of chase.]

I’ll meet you here tomorrow, when you get out of work.

[Freya doesn’t know when that is but she’s not planning to go far. She’ll hang around the beach for the whole day and explore what’s around here. She likes it and she wants to learn more. ]

[Once he reaches the shore, he begins to pull on his clothes, grinning at her the whole time.]

I'll be here. I promise.

Hey, it’s after 6… Cas & I are at the Comfort Inn. Want to meet up here or somewhere else?
My vote is somewhere to eat.
It’ll be our treat.
Are you okay? What happened when we left?
Did you talk to her?

[It's not until after he gets dressed, and Freya's scent is left lingering in his mind, that he notices the text light on his phone blinking.

Shit.]

I can meet you at the inn and we can go somewhere.
I'm fine.
I talked to her.
Tell you more when I get there.

[Toby pulls on his clothes before heading down stairs with Cas. His hands lightly rest on her hips as he guides them towards a seat to wait for his brother. His legs stretch out in front of him while the receptionist stares at him and Cas.]

Small towns.

[He remembers what they're like.]

I'm worried about him.

[His arm wraps tightly around Cas's waist.]

[Cas leans back against him, resting her head against his chest. She really didn't care of people stared. It wasn't like they weren't mated, or anything.]

Why are you worried about him?

[Toby rolls his shoulders but the gesture doesn't quite reach a shrug. He doesn't want Cas to move now that she's resting against his chest.]

I told you about her family. Kevin blames himself for that as much as I do.

[She frowns at that.]

...what did his text say?

[Toby turns his phone so that Cas can see the text.]

He says he's fine.

[She frowns at that, a little confused.]

That's weird. Do you think he really is?

Yes and no.

[Toby pulls Cas closer to his chest.]

If it's anything like when we met, he's just trying to be strong.

[She continues to frown.]

Hopefully he gets here soon.

(OOC: I'll have him come in next tag)

[ooc: YAY kevin's arrival!]

He will.

[Toby leans forward and lightly kisses the top of Cas's head.]

We're going to dinner and Kevin really likes to eat. [And not pay for it.]

[Stepping in at that moment just made him narrow his eyes. He'd been distracted on the way over, but it was a really small town. The comfort inn wasn't hard to find.]

Don't you guys have something better to talk about than me?

[Toby looks over and smiles at his brother.]

Nope, you know what it’s like having a big family.

[He’s sure they talk about him too, just not when he’s around.

Toby stands, keeping Cas at his side as he does.]

Where do you want to go little brother?

And you for a brother.

[He shakes his head.]

There's a diner on the other side of town that gives you a lot of food. [He smiles.] We can head there.

[Cas smiles over to Kevin, and according to Toby's description, not surprised by the diner suggestion.] Sounds like a plan.

[Toby lifts his shoulders in a shrug. He’ll always worry though he is decent at hiding it.]

After you.

[He gestures to Kevin to lead and then lightly places his hand at the base of Cas’s back. He doesn’t like holding hands but he likes staying close to her and he found that this is the easiest way considering their height differences.]

[Kevin takes the lead, Cas staying at Toby's side, watching the two of them with interest.

Kevin runs a hand back through his hair and starts toward the door.]

Want to walk? It's not far. The town's pretty small.

[Cas shrugs.] Sure. Sounds like fun. [She doesn't say anything for a moment before tilting her head to the side and glancing up at Toby before looking back to Kevin.] You smell a lot like that female from before.

[Kevin swallows but doesn't say anything.] I thought you worked until 6.

[Freya remembers the night before clearly. She’d watched Kevin put his clothes back on before collecting her things. She remembers waving and then waiting for him to be completely gone before stripping down and shifting. It’s nice to stretch and to run. The crisp air clears her head and after a few hours of darting through the woods she finds a small alcove within Kevin’s territory to sleep. The rocks were hard but it protected her against the wind and with it brought a strange sort of comfort. She’s met a lot of people over the past few years though none that’s made her think as much as Kevin.

It’s interesting since he had said very little over the few hours they had spent together. Her tail flicks and Freya falls into sleep mid-thought. The moon dipped below the horizon and the sun woke Freya with its insistent rays. She can only guess at the time but going back into town as a wolf would be too troublesome in the day light and she doesn’t think hunting in Kevin’s territory is anyway to make a good impression. She shifts in her makeshift den and then changes into her usual tank top and pants. She rummages through her bag for a few minutes looking for change or anything that might buy her a cup of coffee.

She finds 50 cent and begins her trek towards town to see what that can buy her.

Freya can only afford a can of coke and it is mostly because the guy at the convenience store thought she was cute. With the soda in hand she returns to the rock where they’d sat the night before. It’s only around lunch time but Freya plans to sit and watch the water until Kevin shows up. She doesn’t mind waiting and she’s slowly falling in love with the feeling of the wind against her face. She switches between dreamily watching clouds and reading from one of her textbooks and without fail the day drifts and passes into dusk.]
