OOC: Takes place not too terribly long after this thread.
After certain events at the Chicago harbor there had been considerable amusement within the Æon Society over the pairing up of Annabelle Newfield and Connor. (Whitley Styles had won the betting pool, despite Jake's claim that he cheated.)
As for the reactions of the other FreakAngels to the news, well, who knows?
There was a furious spate of trouble starting the very next day, of course. All of the Society's founders have been run ragged for the last few weeks. For the moment though, things are quiet. (Or at least, if things ARE going crazy somewhere, someone else is handling the problem.)
Annabelle and Jake got back in town at some ungodly hour this morning, whereupon she fell asleep on one of the couches near the fireplace. (Jake is probably off somewhere regaling a pretty woman or two with tales of said adventure, because that's what he does.)

Date: 2011-03-24 05:51 pm (UTC)Then he takes his leave, just in case his presence might wake Annabelle up.
no subject
Date: 2011-03-24 06:38 pm (UTC)You know, so the girl does not wake up with a sore neck and achy back.
no subject
Date: 2011-03-24 06:53 pm (UTC)There's a moment or two of utter confusion caused by waking up in a strange place, but then things click. She blushes hugely. "I'm SO sorry. I can't believe I fell asleep like that...."

Date: 2011-03-24 07:07 pm (UTC)Seriously, you do not nap on the shoulder of people you dislike.
no subject
Date: 2011-03-24 07:16 pm (UTC)"I hadn't thought of it like that," she replies, still a bit sheepish.
"I don't think I've been able to sleep that deeply in...oh, it must be years," she says with a shake of her head. "Not unless I was drugged, anyway."
Paranoia, what paranoia?
no subject
Date: 2011-03-24 07:25 pm (UTC)But, silence lingers a bit...
no subject
Date: 2011-03-24 07:32 pm (UTC)"I've never really felt...safe before, I suppose," she goes on, trying to explain. "Not since I was 12 and got shot for the first time, anyway."
"But I feel safe with you, better than I've ever felt, I...." Annabelle is not good with words.
no subject
Date: 2011-03-24 08:57 pm (UTC)Words can be deceiving.
This, can not.
no subject
Date: 2011-03-24 09:09 pm (UTC)(Possibly this is related to her preference for punching trouble in the face, who knows?)
She won't break the kiss until she starts getting dizzy from lack of oxygen.

Date: 2011-03-25 05:45 pm (UTC)"Still, I suppose a bribe wouldn't go amiss," she adds with a wink. "You mentioned ice cream earlier, I think?"
no subject
Date: 2011-03-25 05:53 pm (UTC)Ice cream might be an extra good idea since both skipped lunch...
no subject
Date: 2011-03-25 05:56 pm (UTC)Illegal does not equal unavailable, as Connor surely knows.
no subject
Date: 2011-03-25 07:36 pm (UTC)The blush should be hint enough of the idea filling his mind.
Bad Connor, bad!
no subject
Date: 2011-03-25 07:41 pm (UTC)Then she sees the blush on his face, and blushes in turn as the possible interpretations sink in.
He may not be the only one with that mental image suddenly popping up. Stupid teenage hormones....
no subject
Date: 2011-03-25 07:46 pm (UTC)Because you see, he is torn: knowing it's a Bad Thought, but since she's not slapping him or anything, it's not a Really Bad Thought?
no subject
Date: 2011-03-25 07:54 pm (UTC)"I suspect it might be a good idea for us to not share whatever we were thinking, or we may never get out of here."
no subject
Date: 2011-03-25 08:17 pm (UTC)no subject
Date: 2011-03-25 08:31 pm (UTC)Annabelle tries to ease the awkwardness as much as she can. If nothing else, navigating through the streets of Chicago on foot is likely to provide a bit of a distraction.
The ice cream parlor does seem oddly busy, especially considering that the number of people going in the door doesn't quite match up to the number of customers...
no subject
Date: 2011-03-28 06:43 pm (UTC)Connor just hopes there will be no gangster drive-by's.
Walking along with Annabelle, holding her hand (warm hand, strong, oddly comforting) is indeed a distraction: the Freakangel has been practicing keeping barriers up, feeling people but not what they're feeling.
He knows they are there, but he keeps the waves of mental energy at bay.
