Not a good idea, man.

[movesyourdice]

[shit -- Nick is on his feet almost instantly, small pocket-knife out in his hands. Might not look like much but when he throws it, then-] How - who are you? [and how did he get past the damn Shadow he'd had around him?]

[onthe_threshold]

Nobody important.

Nice trick. ...I do hope you're not planning to knife me. That would be bad for your health.

[charring]

[Seated on a bench nearby, reading. Or probably writing something in a journal. Probably both.]

ohai, bb! :3

[movesyourdice]

[he calls out casually] You remind me of someone else a lot when you do that...

hey darling!

[charring]

Someone fantastic, I hope. [Still writing. But now she's smiling just a bit.]

[Veering off the sidewalk, Rachel walked through the grass, stopping to send a text to Nick. She didn't realize she was mere inches from where he was relaxing.]

Hey baby, where are you?

BB YOU? :3

[movesyourdice]

[and of course, the soft buzz of vibration in his back pocket causes him to stir and he raises up to check.. sees her behind the sunglasses he has on. A faint smile crosses his lips. He knows she can't see him and it underlines... quite cruelly how different they are, their lives.. the secrets he has to keep from her...]

just out. weather's good today, huh?

:3

[isabigdeal]

[She turned to go sit on a bench a few feet away. It was easier to text and she wouldn't be bumping into anybody.]

It was too nice to stay in. I'm in the park. Are you close?

[movesyourdice]

[he was still watching her from that small patch of ground he was shielded within, and smiled as he paused from texting back a moment.. just watching her. How her hair lifted in the breeze, the way she brushed it away when it got in her eyes. It seemed to happen a lot to her and he wondered why she wouldn't tie it up.. but every time she did, he just wanted to take it down again.. mess her up...]

sort of. stay put, and i'll meet ya?

[getting to his feet, he heard the rustle of movement nearby and signalled the Shadow to follow him as he left the park to do something...]

[isabigdeal]

[She was so used to her hair that brushing it out of her way or tucking it behind her ear was like breathing. It just happened. While she waited for him to text back, she glanced around at the other people in the park, doing their own thing. She felt her phone buzz in her hand and read the text, smiling.]

Ok, can you find me?

[She looked around for him, thinking maybe he was closer than she thought but she didn't see him anywhere.]

[movesyourdice]

always find you, baby.

[he tucked his cell back into his jeans and walked on. About ten minutes later, he's back.. with iced tea for them both... getting rid of the Shadow and letting him take his break for the day until he asked him back. He wanted paying but Nick knew better than to go halfways... these guys just bolted on you when they wanted...]

Hey. [he murmured, leaning over the back of the bench and pressed a kiss to her neck] Mm... told you I'd find ya.

[isabigdeal]

[She read those words and they made her smile. It reminded her of when he'd have to leave her for days at a time but always came back to her.]

I'll be right here waiting.

[As promised, she didn't move until she heard his voice and she leaned her head back, looking at him upside down.] Hey. How did you know just where I was in the park? Lucky guess?
