Aerin Thomas: *Click* "Hey, you." Warm voice, moderately relaxed. No major criseses lately.

Kaeleigh O'Reilly: hey...*yawning softly, sounds like its been a long day* 'cha up to?

Aerin Thomas: "Noooot much..." A momentary pause and a soft whump, as he drops onto a couch. "Just relaxing at home. Sometimes, I actually get to. Like, once every seventh blue moon that falls on a Sunday." He chuckles a bit. "You sound tired."

Kaeleigh O'Reilly: yeah....*sighing softly* mmm....juuust a bit......just...figured would call...see how you were doing, yknow....*sounds of outside heard, passing cars, etc*

Aerin Thomas: "Me? I'm...okay. Like I said, just relaxing." He sighs a little bit. "You wanna come over...or I can come over there? Wouldn't mind seeing you...and you sound like you could use some pampering."

Kaeleigh O'Reilly: yeah......um....on my way home, not anywhere yet.....*paused for a moment* you...sure me 'there' is....yknow....a good idea...I mean....considering....

Aerin Thomas: "It's..." He pauses there, before continuing. "It would be okay, I think. I don't think Bliss would be too worried about it. Michelle knows you...she likes you. I think you'll be fine...unless you'd rather go to your place. Familiar territory and all."

Kaeleigh O'Reilly: I dont want to get you in trouble, especially not in your own home.....if my place is easier thats fine.......*another soft yawn, a smile to her voice now* I just want to see you.....

Aerin Thomas: "We can do your place," he says with a smile. "I'll be there shortly. Love you."

Kaeleigh O'Reilly: *definately more of a smile to her voice now, alot warmer too*.....love you too scruffy...see you in a few

Aerin Thomas: "See you then." *Click* He gets to his feet and finds his trench, slipping it on, and makes to head out on his motorcycle after a quick "Be out for the night" note to Bliss.

Kaeleigh O'Reilly: *she finishes the walk back to the apartment and heads on up, keys at the ready as she does*

Aerin Thomas: He's there already, leaning against the door frame and waiting for her. The hair is unbound, one of his poet's shirts and a pair of jeans making up his look for today. He smiles when she sees her, and nods. "Well, hello there. Fancy seeing you here..."

Kaeleigh O'Reilly: *looking to him and pausing in her steps as she does, just standing there for a few moments and looking to him with a warm smile, eyes trailing over him*....do you...have any idea....how good you look?

Aerin Thomas: "Not half as good as you do." He smiles and pushes off from the door, walking to wrap his arms around her, drawing her into a warm embrace.

Kaeleigh O'Reilly: mmm goddess I needed this....*returning the favor with her arms around him, nuzzling gently in against his chest for a moment as she lets out a soft sigh, smiling slightly*

Aerin Thomas: He smiles and kisses her temple, holding her there in the hug as long as she needs. "You wanna talk about it?"

Kaeleigh O'Reilly: yeah......*nodding gently, giving more of a squeeze before looking up at him* lets get inside...Ill get us each a guiness, yeah?

Aerin Thomas: "Sounds good." He nods and pulls away, moving to the door to let them inside. Once in, he takes off his trench and moves to take Kae's and hang them both up.

Kaeleigh O'Reilly: *she thanks him with soft murmur and shuffles off into the kitchen, coming back with a guiness in each hand* time to administer meds

Aerin Thomas: "Mmmm...yes, doctor." He grins a bit and takes one of them, leaning in to kiss her. "Good for what ails us, then, is it?"

Kaeleigh O'Reilly: me at least...mmm*murring softly at the kiss, then findin a seat to 'plop' down unceremoniously on the couch* its.....been a day....yknow?

Aerin Thomas: "Yeah, I know." He settles in next to her and turns to face her, taking a sip off the beer before setting it on the coffee table. "What happened?"

Kaeleigh O'Reilly: *taking a few good gulps off of hers, she leans her head back after swallowing and mphs, then looks back up at him* had someone die in the ER.....things were...busy....Id just gotten done setting a young boys broken bone and....went out into the waiting area to check the board, see if anyone needed anything, and there was this..homeless looking guy....*taking a deep breath, another gulp* hard time breathing, wheezing, scared looking....and a little girl, bleeding hand and by herself, no one around her.....so....started checking out the guy....since breathings a bit more important.....got a nurse to take him to a room, get checked out, have someone take care of him, then went on to take care of the little girl....

Aerin Thomas: His lips purse, and he nods a little bit, just listening. A hand comes out to glide over Kae's arm...a gentle, comforting touch.

Kaeleigh O'Reilly: checked out and took care of the girl, noticed....she was reluctant to talk about some things...saw that the cut she had on her hand was more defensive and...she told me she did it accidentaly to herself....so...through a little coersion(sp?) and such, got her to stick around long enough, get an officer there.....shes in emergency custody now....turns out....history of abuse, lives with the father, comes in every so often with abrasions bruises, broken bones and cuts.....*sighing softly*shed said shed been sitting in that waiting area....for 15 minutes....bleeding and waiting and alone*rubs her head, takes another gulp and shakes her head* asked the doctor who was taking care of the homeless looking guy......found out that....he died....the emergency trach that they tried to do on him, because he was choking on gum, didnt...get done in time.....so......

Aerin Thomas: He sighs a little bit and nods, smiling sympathetically. "Ouch...that is a long day. I'm sorry. But the girl's going to be okay? Did they get the dad?"

Kaeleigh O'Reilly: I dont know if they got the dad, I hope so though....I told the officer taking care of the case to let my mom (aerin knows she works dispatch at one of hte precinct houses) know what and when he can, because I was concerned.....he said he couldnt let me know all the details because of confidentiality....but....that he would see what he could do.....wanted to.....well...make sure about the guy too....*describing the guy to him*..yknow....make sure he wasnt somebody that...would be missed or something....I know um.....andy and I would...sometimes go tot eh park....make sure some of the homeless there would have food to eat when we had free time....(was a scene raven ran*G* so dont think it would be anyone 'known' in teh park but kae would want to be sure and would mention just incase)

Aerin Thomas: He nods a little bit. "I'll check around the park, see if it was anyone there." There's a brief pause as he looks Kae over, eyes calm and supportive. "And I think he will be missed. I imagine you'll miss him, even if you just met him tonight."

Kaeleigh O'Reilly: *that gets a small smile from her, nodding as she takes one more gulp then sets her bottle down, kinda curling closer to him now, head leaning on his shoulder* yeah.....I will...you know me....*lips twitching slightly, chewing her lip* I tried , yknow, silently praying to the goddess ....to help take care of him....before I went to take care of the little girl....dont know if I did it right or not, but......didnt think it could hurt....

Aerin Thomas: "You did right," he says with a slight nod. "You did very right. The Goddess took care of him...in her own way. Even if we don't understand it, and we mourn his passing...he's with her now. And that's a better place."

Kaeleigh O'Reilly: *she eases a bit when he says she did right, breathing a bit better, a little more relaxed, nodding gently at his words*....I guess....yeah.....still...hate to lose someone, indirectly or no.....but I suppose youre right.....*leaning up to kiss his chin**

Aerin Thomas: He kisses her nose when she does likewise to his chin, and then nods. "I know, Kae. Believe me...I know what it's like to lose someone. I've...lost a lot, myself. Particularly in the last year. And I know how much it hurts. I'm sorry you lost someone."

Kaeleigh O'Reilly: your not going to lose me...I promise you that...not by my doing anyways.....*her arms slipping around him give a nice squeeze*..and thank you....

Aerin Thomas: "I know, Kae." He hugs her back, smiling slightly. "You're very welcome. Anything I can do to help."

Kaeleigh O'Reilly: mmm....just being here mostly....honestly.....I like being distracted by you....*soft smile, chuckling quietly*

Aerin Thomas: "I think I can do that." He smiles a bit and nods, settling back and drawing her to him, to lean against him. "And you ain't so bad to be distracted by yourself." A grin to her, and he winks. "So, turn around. I'll get to work on those shoulders. Imagine they could use it, after today."

Kaeleigh O'Reilly: mmph...you know if you do that youll put me to sleep.....*getting a slow lazy grin*

Aerin Thomas: "Yeah, well...if you fall asleep, how can you enjoy the massage?" He grins and leans in to nuzzle her jaw. "Or maybe I can just use that to put you to sleep later."

Kaeleigh O'Reilly: *chuckling softly, she murrs at the nuzzle, returning it slightly* there ya go......yknow...if it werent for the fact that neither one of us could....afford it....not in the monetary sense of course but otherwise.....Id say lets escape for a day or two....just us....somewhere...awaaaay from everything, yknow? pretend at some pretense of normalcy or something.....*chuckling softly, fingers reaching to slowly stroke through his hair*

Aerin Thomas: "Mmmm..." It's half-sighed, warm and fond, as if taking a moment to imagine what that would be like. "Normalcy. I've heard of such a thing. Isn't that where you aren't facing life-or-death struggles and dealing with trauma at every turn. Thought it was a myth, really."

Kaeleigh O'Reilly: an elusive thing she is, yeah.......so.....*fingers still moving thorugh his hair, nuzzling in closer against him* what would your....'ideal' 'normal' get away be like you think?

Aerin Thomas: "Oh, geez..." He raises a hand to run his fingers lightly over the back of her neck, thinking. "Umm...let's see. Egypt. Yeah, definitely Egypt. Just a trip through the sands, visiting the sights. Or...maybe Ireland. Countryside...no one else at all within Goddess knows how far...no one calling for help, no one to worry about...just...peace. That would be nice."

Kaeleigh O'Reilly: those both do sound nice...yeah.....*sighing softly, relaxing, then after a moment smirking, then chuckling, then snickering, until shes finally quietly laughing*

Aerin Thomas: His eyebrow arches, and he lifts his head to look at her, a curious grin on his face. "What?"

Kaeleigh O'Reilly: you....without a problem to solve.....and someone to take care of........would be bored worried and miserable*still laughing*

Kaeleigh O'Reilly: same as I would*winking to him*

Aerin Thomas: He blinks at that, before the grin widens, and he starts laughing a little himself. "Oh, Goddess...I don't know whether that's too funny, or too sad."

Kaeleigh O'Reilly: both....definately both..sad sad people you and I....*chuckling, nipping his neck and jaw gently*

Aerin Thomas: He shivers a little bit and his head tilts to the side, neck baring for her...it's SO his weak point. Blame his vampire ex-girlfriend, even if she didn't ever take a nip but once. His fingers trail up her neck, then back down and along her shoulder, feather-light. "Mmmm...yeah, so very sad, we are."

Kaeleigh O'Reilly: *breath warm against his neck, she continues the soft kisses, then slowly firmer longer nips* least we understand each other yeah?*her voice softer*

Aerin Thomas: "Yeah..." He takes a deep breath and then lets it out slowly as his hand drops to rest against her side, fingers stroking along there as he turns toward her. Lips find her jawline and brush there, his arm that's now around her drawing her close. "We understand each other well, I'd say," he murmurs.

Kaeleigh O'Reilly: mmhmm...*sighing softly, curling closer before murmuring herself* bedroom?

Aerin Thomas: "If you think we can make it that far," he says with a smile, pulling back just enough to kiss her.

Kaeleigh O'Reilly: *that gets a soft chuckle and a murrrrr to the kiss*

Aerin Thomas: He smiles and leans in, deepening the kiss, before an arm slides under her legs. He rises, picking her up with an impish grin, and starts to walk with her toward the bedroom.
