"Ah so here we are." the apartment stood on the corner of a fairly quiet street, she got her keys out from her pocket and let her self inside the outer door. "It's not much and here you'll find that rent is not cheap." she looked over her shoulder as she walked up the stairs. Her apartment was on the top floor, and when she moved in it was a pain getting furniture into it. She bent over slightly as she fitted the key into the lock and she pushed the door open with her foot as she switched on the light, "Welcome to my little sanctuary." she tossed her keys into a small bowl by the door and she turned to look at Rizu. "Make yourself at home." she wrinkled her nose as she moved into the kitchen, she set her to go cup on the counter and she began washing her hands to prep the food.

Rizu entered the apartment, it was nice. Granted it was on the small side it was still very cozy. Far more than he could ask for, and beat the living hell out of the park bench. It was warm inside, and that was always a plus. Rizu imagined himself for a moment as a dog, if he had to choose, he would defiantly be a house dog. He made it his business to try and milk this night of warmth for as much as he could, at least until the sun came up. Rizu sat down on the couch and took his first sip, the taste was unlike his memory of it, it was sweet yet complimenting. He licked the top of his mouth softly, trying to saver the taste, it was wonderfull. "I have not seen that old guy in about half a year, he greeted me when I first got into the city and hes been gone every since. So right now im pretty much, you know, staying here and there." He said, trying not to lay out too much information, he did not want to say that he was homeless, that always brought about pity. "Yes so ive herd, I dont really have a problem with being a hunter, its just that. I dont know, I always thought that a hunter needed a pack, a group, a team to be effective. Being alone....I guess i just never saw the point." He said taking a sip to occupy his mouth so that he could stop talking.

Nightingale paused in the fridge to turn and look at Rizu, "Here and there for a year." she narrowed her eyes, "I don't know how you do it." she shook her head, "Moving around too much, not knowing where I'm going." she wrinkled her nose, "Not for me." she shrugged as she went back to digging in the fridge, "As for the whole pack thing, sometimes I'm put into a group if the job calls for it," she waved around a knife as she talked, she was very animated with her hands, "Am I apart of a pack? Yes and no." she frowned, "I've." she paused, "I've jumped into my work head first and haven't had time to socialize with the others." she shrugged, "You're my first company since..." she paused again, "Well ever." She tilted her head to the side in thought as she prepared everything for the skillet that was heating up, she knew Rizu moved from p;ace to place, "You know, it's just stupid that you're hopping from place to place," she waved the knife in the air with a smile, "Stay here, and try to track down that old man." she shrugged, "I've got more room than I know what to do with, and everyone knows I'm too busy with work to really be home." she was silent after that. She looked up at Rizu clutching the warm cup between his hands, "Quick way to get warm is in the shower if you want, dinner will be ready by the time you get out if you want."
(going to bed sorry, I'll in a few hours. sweatdrop )

Rizu lowered his head to the floor, thats what he was afraid off. The pity, everyone feeling as though they were obligated to help him, though he had to admit he really wanted to stay, and he supposed that her being a Lycan made it much easier to accept. It was, after all, what wolves did. Rizu already knew that if he were in her position he could not likely allow one of his own to sleep outside during the rain and cold. Though he did not think that he would be ok with allowing her to take him in like that he did take her up on the offer of a warm shower, "Actually, I think I will" He said, reffuring to the shower part at least. He stood up and began to walk before stopping quickly and turning around and walking back up to her quickly, "Your work? Your a hunter for the Lycan race right? Use me, bring me with you when ever you think you need to. It will make me feel better about staying here." He said to her, allowing his coco brown eyes to unglue themselves from the floor and look her in the eye. To a wolf eye contact was a very serious thing, and without it nothing one said could be taken seriously.

She hadn't realized she was gripping her cutting knife tightly waiting for his answer, she was afraid he'd say no, though when he said yes to the shower her grip lightened slightly. When he asked her to bring him along on her assignments and he looked up at her with his eyes she gasped softly and had to mentally kick herself to close her jaw, "N-no problem." she nodded and fumbled over her words, "There, um. Clean towels in the bathroom." she shut her eyes and shook her head with a smile. Opening them she said, "Dinner should be ready when you get out."

Rizu smiled at her, glad that he could come to an agreement. He stepped away for a moment before turning on his heel to head for the bathroom. Rizu had never had a place of own, he had been homeless from the moment he left his family. The idea seemed kinda nice, to know that he had someone to go when he rested his head. A place that was safe, it was also deep withen Lycan terriroty, there would be no chance for something to take him off guard here. A sense of security that he could not take lightly..and then.. He paused in his own head, and then he had her here, he did not have to be alone all the time. Someone that would have his back and he would have hers, someone that would actually be pleased to see him come home in one peice. Rizu smiled to himself, it was nice already.
Rizu walked down the hall and stopped at the bath room, walking inside and taking off his jacket,hanging it on the door. He then unwrapped the bandages around his rib cage and placed them on the sink. He took a moment and looked at himself in the mirror before finishing getting undresed and hopping into the shower.

She wanted to get so many things finished before Rizu got out of the shower, she set the steaks on medium so they could simmer in their own raw juices, she let the vegetables cook and soften in their pan and it's seasonings. She set down the knife and took down the small hallway to a linen closet and took out a clean pair of sheets, she glanced at the bathroom door and moved to the guest bedroom where she stripped the bed of it's blankets and proceeded to make the bed. Half way through she dashed back into the kitchen turned the steaks were medium rare, and stirred the vegetables. Dashing back into the spare bedroom she finished making the bed, turning down the one corner. She wanted Rizu to feel like he was home here. Placing her hands on her hips she looked around the room to make sure she wasn't forgetting anything. "Clothes." she mumbled. She turned heel and tapped her lower lip with a finger as she fumbled around her pajama drawer and pulled out a large t-shirt and a pair of draw string bottoms. 'Should do.' she thought to herself. She walked back down the small hall and placed the clean clothes outside of the door, "There are some clothes for you outside of the door." she called. She walked back into the kitchen she waited.

Rizu could hear her running through the house and wondered just what in the world was going on but he was soon distracted by the scent of freshly cooked meat. He had not had cooked meat in a very long time, it smelt heavenly, she was obviously a good cook. He herd her yell to and smiled, "AH. Thanks!!" He said, hoping that his voice reached out through the door. Rizu, finished cleaning himself and took his time rinsing off before turning the nosel and stepping out. The water dripping down off his body getting trapped on very small traces of fur all over his body. Hardly noticeable until close up, but while wet his Lycan hair showed. Rizu took a towel and wrapped it around his waist and went to the door, opening it and looking outside to the cloths. He was surpised that they fit him, but then agian they were very large loose fitting cloths so even if they didnt he was sure he would manage. Rizu got dressed and exited the bath room, still fighting the urge to shake his hair dry.
He walked back to the kitchen and stood still, not sure if he should sit down yet, "Um. Thanks again" he said, holding up his hands and gesturing to the bath room and the living room, "You know, for everything"

A smile spread across her face as he came out of the bathroom and she shook her head, "It's not a problem." she shrugged a shoulder as her attention was brought down to the plates she was loading up, "I get lonely." she flushed, "Not like that." she shut her eyes, "I mean there is no one around to talk to and..." she sighed and laughed, "Sorry." she shook her head and began to load the plates up again. As she brought them to the table she said, "Medium rare." she cast a glance his way, "Hope you like it." she smiled as she sat down and pushed out the chair next to her with her foot, "I made up the guest bedroom for you, so it's all ready to go when you want to sleep." she shrugged again, she began to cut into her steak which bled slightly.

Rizu returned her smile, matching it with his own. His eyes like coffee, matched his hair color almost exactly. Which was odd because it almost matched his skin as well, Rizu was a perfect blend of light tan and brown, almost like a moca latte with extra cream. Rizu grabbed his plate and sat down at the table in front of her, placing the food out in front of him. It smelled wonderful, and looked even better he thanked her again before stabbing his fork into the slab of meat and lifting it to his mouth, clamping down on it tightly and tearing off a mouth full, and chomping down it on roughly. He had horrible table manners, but he blamed it on the whole wolf thing. Even though he ate like a wolf, he had enough decency to wait till he was finished chewing before he spoke, "Yes, I know what you mean. Well" He stopped, not sure if he should say it or not, "Well, were not alone anymore..." he said, his face grew soft like a puppy in his slight embarrassment. Rizu had left his guns in the bath room, something he he would never have done in a million years if he was not so sure that he did not need them. "The food is amazing" He complimented, "You seem to have this whole solo living thing down pact"

Nightingale smiled, "Good food doesn't carry you very far solo." her face was smooth and solid of hurt emotion. She cleared her throat, "Sorry." she said quietly, "I have to come out and say," she began as she looked up at Rizu, "I have never in my entire life opened up my life or my home up to a stranger." she held up a hand to stop him from speaking, "It's not charity, not pity, hand me downs, freebies or any of that crap." she took a deep breath, "I'm doing this because some unknown something, a feeling is telling me to." she shook her head and laughed slightly, "It sounds so odd speaking, admitting this truth." she looked at Rizu, "I must sound like a lunatic right about now." 'Just shut up Nightingale.' she urged herself, 'Eat your steak and be quiet.' she thought to herself as she smoothed her hands out on the table on either side of her plate.

Rizu continued to chew away as he listened to her reassure him. It nice, and the face she made was oh so adorable. Rizu finished chewing and smiled back at her, allowing yet again for his eyes to connect with hers, "I dont think its charity," He said, trying to calm her, "It is often said that packs are formed out of some of the strangest circumstances." Rizu took a sip out of his now getting cold coffee, "a wolf can never be at his best without at least one person in his pack. All my life ive been alone, but now. Now I have you, ill just say that the wolf in us brought us together. I wont ask questions if you wont." He said with a short, yet crooked chuckle, "Id rather just enjoy being here." he finished speaking and tore another slab of meat off, filling his belly quickly.

She nodded quietly as he reassured her that everything was okay, "I'm happy that you think so." his comment about how some packs begin caught her off guard slightly and she glanced up at him as he looked at her and she quickly glanced way. "I guess so." she smiled, she wasn't alone and never had to be if she chose. She glanced up at Rizu again, "Thank you." she simply said as she finished off her steak and pushed the plate off to the side and she rested her elbows on the table while her stomach took care of digesting her food.

Rizu finished his food and placed his fork on the plate. He felt like there was something that he should say but he was not sure what the words were. he was not every good at talking to people and so he often felt like he either said too much or not enough, "As long as Im here, you will never have to be alone. You need me and.." He said holding out his middle and index finger like a gun, "Ill comma runnin.. every time." He said giving her a cow boy ish nodd, amused at his own corny antics he chuckled lightly before leaning back in the chair abit, "So.." He said looking over to the clock, they were still in the late of the night, "Whatcha think we should do now?" He said. For some reason Rizu was itching to do things that he had never thought about before. It was like something inside him clicked the moment he said that they were a pack and triggered a natural instinct to be together in the heat of battle or even just to sit down and watch a movie. He just wanted to do things together in general. Was this the bond of a wolf? Or was this the bond of a male and female? Rizu had no idea, but he intended on finding out as best he could.
