"Off course I can help you Peyton" David replied. She'd already kind of told him what her field was but he could at least be an extra pair of eyes on the problem even if he couldn't understand it. Also two heads worked better than one. He could fit in the work Artemis and himself did so there was no problem. "If its back at the lab we can tackle it tomorrow morning bright and early" he proposed. He didn't mind early starts anyway. Peyton Coldstone |

"Yeah it is and I mean I am willing to get up early but not too much but how does six sound?" She did not want him to rush into anything. "I usually turn in early but I might stay up a little later tonight depending." David Lightfeather |

"6am sounds fine to me and we won't be the only early starters either" David replied but she also had mentioned staying up later. So he had an idea. "Since work is going to be tomorrow how about a walk outside tonight and see where we end up? My little dog needs his walk anyway" he posed. Sparky had liked everybody he'd met so far on the isle and the way he got on with Mallory was amazing. Peyton Coldstone |

"That sounds good enough to me and work, you know I don't see work as so bad even though it is a lot of information but I am glad that you work there. For the most part people leave me alone and that helps me out in more ways than I could initially realize but none the less still good," she said as she waited on him to get up first.

So listening to Peyton it sounded like being a lone worker was the norm for her. Here she'd be part of a team and a group mind and that was an adaption he'd no trouble with as he led a team in the UK. He would help her as far as he was able to. "I'll need a few minutes and can meet you at reception" he cheerfully replied adding "if you ever need help let me or others round you know. It's a group you can pick through". So he returned as promised with an exciteable little dog on a lead. He knew who was boss but loved to meet new people. Looking up at the woman with red hair he jumped up a little on the spot and looked happy. "This is Sparky" David added. Peyton Coldstone |

She nodded. "That'll be no problem, I will meet you there," she said. She was glad that it seemed like they were going to be able to go. Once he had returned she took a second. "Cute as a button, really." She said as she gave a small thought and then spoke once more. "Ready to walk now?" she asked cautiously. David Lightfeather |

"We're ready to go now" David cheerfully replied. And so the walk started. He'd made sure he had the poop bag in his pocket just in case of accidents and they started out in the direction of the university. By the time they got there and back to the hotel it would be a few miles and about an hour. As the hotel was left behind Sparky was getting more used to Peyton being around. In turn he was getting closer to her and looking attention from her. Just like cute dogs in general. "He likes you Peyton" David mused asking "do you want to try and walk him?" Peyton Coldstone |

She felt like she could let her cautious behavior down a bit as she listened to David. He was, well there was just something so good about him that made her feel good. None the less she was enjoying it as they walked and she heard him. "Oh," she said. "Okay sure," she said as she turned her hand over. "You'll just wrap the leash around my hand and then I'll walk same pace as him correct?" David Lightfeather |

Davids smiled and replied "he's only got short legs but he's quite quick". So he wrapped the lead round her hand so she had a good grip. And what a beautiful hand it was just like the rest of her; but it wasn't just that David felt about Peyton. This was the most comfortable he'd felt with a woman and it was on the same level as Mallory. The other feelings he'd figure out later on but it was different from other experiences. He did want to know her better and protect her though he had a feeling she wouldn't need much of that. "Sparky, behave" he told the little dog who looked ahead and forwards. Then pulled on the lead as he liked to set the pace. David was well used to this and he knew his dog liked to test limits. He was still a good boy all the same. "When he pulls too far ahead bring him back in with a little tug. Walking a dog is a partnership" he added. David and Sparky were a true partnership. Peyton Coldstone |

She always made sure to listen because it was always good too do so. "Okay I think that I can do that," she said. "I think that we will learn to get along well enough," she said. "I mean Sparky and I," she added as she laughed. "It's okay if she is a little out of character, I'm new around her owner so she is probably just trying to figure me out as well I'd say," she said as she moved along with Sparky.

David raised an eyebrow when Peyton refered to Sparky as female but the forementioned dog didn't seem to notice nor realise as the walk continued. Even in the fringes of the university and this time in the evening there were still plenty of students around in groups or singly. He'd pulled away once already but the fact of moving quicker than Peyton pulled the little dog back into step with her. "You've gotten it already" he said looking at Peyton. So had Sparky as he worked a little more to stay level in the walk. It didn't take long to leave the university behind and head out towards the pier. It seemed the little dog could sense water being nearby as he looked excited. Peyton Coldstone |

"He," she said quickly correcting herself. "Sorry, I normally do not find myself gendering anything but Sparky, I will just go with Spaky," she said as them walking did now seem to be in tow. "Hey it's not that bad," she said. "I still find that I do get so excited by the smallest things, but okay, I'm calm now. Thak you for letting me walk him." David Lightfeather |

David felt surprised by what Peyton had to say. He also accepted it and looked back at his dog who was cheerfully walking beside his new friend. This was the way she was and it took all sorts to make a society. "Either way Sparky likes the way you're doing it" David cheerfully mused. "Back home he was never that content with anyone else walking him". The walk continued and he added "He was a rescue dog that I found after I finished university. Now you'd never know how skittish he was at the start". "It's good to be yourself and always be that way" he replied looking at Peyton. He was getting used to her but things did feel good even if that period had been only a day. Peyton Coldstone |

She listened because she liked too. It was the one thing that most guys had called boring about her, the fact that she did not always butt in and would let people finish their sentences as she made sure that she had the least tight enough in her hand but not enough to not give Sparky the space that was needed. "Well at least it seems like it all worked out," she said as she took a second to look over everything as they walked. It was honestly such a relief that she had not ever known how she did not know that this, feeling this free was possible. "I like it here," she said honestly. David Lightfeather |

Living here was as free as most oddities could get. There was nobody to judge your powers and abilities and you had the freedom to explore them. The other oddities had to hide in plain sight, try and obey the OSE laws which being known about or find a place they could still hide out in and still be themselves. Places like that were pretty hard to find but still existed. "I like here too since I don't have to hide what I am anymore. It's also been my first real chance to explore how far I can push my ability because we might have to fight to keep our freedom" he replied. Sparky was still being a good boy and getting closer to Peyton as they kept the walk going. Peyton Coldstone |
