January slightly regretted bringing up the case. He didn't seem so pleased, and understandably so. For a moment though, she didn't understand what that had to do with his appearance. She tilted her head slightly until a possible realization popped into her head. Forget sleep? "Don't tell me you've been here all night," she said, raising an eyebrow. That would be... incredible dedication.
Yes, to Magical Creatures! January laughed lightly when he extended his arm. For her? "What a gentleman," she said, slightly teasing. Well, might as well. She took his arm (it would be rude to deny) and was ready to go, but she noticed him looking back at the fountain. January followed his gaze to see a man looking into the water. She glanced back at Vic. "Did he drop something...?" Were they just gonna watch? Quote:

Jasper didn't have it. He was obliviously watching the surface of the water recover from the diminutive wake caused by the coin. He might have also been scrying. Testing the tiny little wavelets for signs of trouble up ahead. He was just beginning to make out shapes when he heard a witch's voice pull him out of his incognizant state. Her words piercingly clear for the connection between his actions and the use of the word 'drop'.
When Jasper looked away from the fountain's basin he saw that the flirting couple had been looking at him. For how long? Should he have been there? It was far too early for him to have ...done his spooky thing. Besides, he'd felt none of the symptoms that his fragile mind and body often associated with such fits.
"No." There came Jasper's short, but meant-to-be-reassuring answer as he returned the couple's acknowledgement. "Well sort of. I'm sorry, do people not toss coins into the fountain?" Perhaps there was supposed to be a sign? He had a timid way of speaking, the man did. Almost as though he were certain of nothing he said. It could've made him sound like a liar, only the statements he made using this tone did not exactly warrant a fib. Oh. She wasn't impressed he didn't forget a thing, oh boo. Vic's grin stayed there as she made a face, though. It was funny, and if they were closer friends, he would've reacted differently. This being the case, he just grinned at her.
.... "I didn't stay here all night." He replied automatically, pulling off a mellow face, though his tone definitely indicated otherwise. "I'm coming to the conclusion that you've never tried sleeping in your office? Actually..." Vic clicked his tongue, "... your department isn't the ideal place to doze off." What with all the creatures in there, dangerous, mutants, cute but drooly, pretty but hair-pulling.
Their interaction was eventually brought to the man at the fountain. Vic didn't get the chance to reply to Jan (he'll think of a better nickname later) because the man did so. "Er.. I've never seen people do it. Do people still believe in those..." Superstitions. "... stories?" Throwing a coin in a body of water for wish-granting, or blessings or whatever. Vic turned to look at the lady holding his arm, did she do that too? Or did the Centaur take all her attention earlier? |
