She looked up at him hopefully, "Are you offering to let me stay with you?" She smiled slightly at him, then grabbed her hand bag and stood up. She slid ehr hand in the purse and the dog turned to her, sitting down infront of her expectantly. She pulled out a dog treat. "Here Jerry Lee." She tossed the treat to the dog, who ate it then waited to see if he would get more.

Catherine sits in an alley, staring at the ground. Her dog nudges her to be friendly, and she rubs behind his ears absentmindedly. Her purse lay next to her, containing her 'emergency kit', a lighter and a bottle of hairspray. She wasn't wearing a scarf, for once, so the scars on her neck were plainly visible, along with her cross necklace. Despite her good luck with her performances out of town, she has stopped caring about singing.

((Mind if I join?))

Sky had been walking around town that night, very little activity for his part. He needed to find a feeding terratory of his own in the town and was doing a little scouting work and he happened to be passing through Cat's alley.

He recognised her, it took a second for him to do so but he did. She was that singer with the beautiful voice and Sky had seen her perform at the Tequila a few nights past.

For a moment he stood above her, sensing there was some danger in her handbag but shrugged it off. But he slid down the alley wall oposite her to a crouch and asked a stupid question, but it was one people used to ask him.

"Are you okay?"

((sure))

The dog looked up at him, tail wagging slightly. Cat looked up, "I'm okay... I guess." She shrugs slightly, pulling her handbag closer just incase. The dog barks and stands, tail still wagging.

"There must be a reason why you're sitting in a cold alleyway quite, apart from your dog." Sky put his hand out infront of the dog to see if it was friendly, if so he would tiggle it under the chin.

"Well, actually its because I got kicked out of my apartment." She shrugs slightly, "No big deal really. I've still got most of my stuff in storage, but living places are expensive." The dog licks his hand, tail still wagging.

"Most unfortunate."

Sky kept stroking the dog for a few minutes, the empty silence dragged thin with only the cars nearby making noise. Although she was only a mortal Sky seemed to like her, it would be so easily to drink from her right now but somehow it felt wrong.

"I have a place, it may not be much but it is warmer and safer than these streets at night." He said in full honesty.

He half jumped when she made for the handbag, but was relieved when this 'danger' turned out to be a bag of doggie treats.

"Well why not? I think it is a perfect arrangement. But wait, where are my manners?" He offered his hand out to the singer, "my name is Sky, I have seen you perform once before but I can't remember your name. You have a lovely voice, thats all I remember of you I'm afraid."

"My name's Catherine but my friends call me Cat, and the dog is Jerry Lee." She smiled and dug out another treat for Jerry. When she pulled it out, she accidentally dropped the lighter on the ground as well. She kneeled over and picked it up, and the dog took advantage of the situation and poked his nose in the purse to get more of the treats.

"You smoke?" He said rather plainly, he used to but found after his turning that fire wasn't good for Vampires. It was getting late, if he was going to show her where he lived he should do it soon before sunrise so he could return to the streets to feed.

"No." She said simply, then turned to find the dog with his head stuck in the purse. "Jerry!" She shook her head and pulled the purse off his head, "Peachy, now I'm out of dog treats..." She put the lighter away in her purse, smiling.

Sky smiled and brushed his hand through his dark hair as the breeze kept blowing it into his eyes. He held out his hand to the singer gesturing for her to come with him out of the alley way.

"I can show you where I live if you like, but the night is still young if you want to go somewhere else instead." He heard that something was going on at the White Mice earlier on his way past but didn't have enough time to check it out.

She began to follow him out of the alley, the dog staying obediantly at her side. "Either way works for me, if we go somewhere, Jerry is smart enough to wait around outside. Not many places allow dogs." She hung the purse over her shoulder as she walked.

"Ah that is true" Sky crouched at the dogs side to scratch his ears and whispered Sorry little doggie-dog-dog, completly forgot you were here.

"Well does he mind being dropped off at my appartment, I know he could probably just wait outside but its not his obidiency I'm worried about."

When Sky crouches by Jerry Lee, he jump sup and licks him on the face. Cat laughed slightly, "I don't think it'd be a big deal to leave him at your appartment, he'd probably just sleep."

"Very well. Follow me."

He marched off down to the end of the alleyway and into the main street. He was still new in the area and even though he tried to pretend he knew where he was going it was fairly obvious that he had hardly any idea where he was.

((Take this to the Living Spaces?))

She noticed he was just pretending to know the area well, but she didn't say anything. As they walked, a siren could be heard in the distance, and Jerry started howling as if in pain.

((*shrugs* I guess))

((Right then, I'll post a decent first post in Living Spaces. Meanwhile, have a cookie. *cookie*))

((God no... I've already eaten half a tub of cookie dough... can't make choclate chip cookies without eating half the dough. *grins and hands Sky three dozen cookies* There, you have cookies.))

((YAY! COOKIES! *huggles* Post's up))
