 She sat under a tree, shuffling through some papers and highlighting some notes as she went through them. She'd taken some of her work home with her today and was enjoying the outdoors as she worked. "Hmmm..." She tapped the end of the highlighter on her lip as she flipped the page she was on behind the others in the stack.

He was strolling through the park when he noticed someone sitting by his favorite tree. When he got a bit closer her realized it was a girl, and not just any girl, an angel. Now Lebbaeus, being a demon, did not particularly care for angels but this one looked pretty cute. Her golden wings were folded neatly at her sides as she worked on some papers. Her fur also had the same sort of rustic look as his did. He smoothed out his fur and threw a mint in his mouth. ”This should be fun,” he thought to himself. He walked up to her confidently. ”Excuse me miss, is heaven missing an angel? Because you-“ He stopped midsentence when she looked up at him. She was way too young for him! ”Looks like she’s just out of her kit years.” He thought horrified. He’d never had much experience with young Noodles. He had spoken loud enough that he wasn’t going to be able to walk away like nothing had happened. What was she going to say? And more importantly, what was he going to do?

She blinked at the voice and it's owner as he caught off before Shaking her head lightly. Was He honestly trying to flirt? Stifling a chuckle, she put the cap back on the highlighter and set her papers down ever so gently before arching a brow. "Having second thoughts?" Her voice was soft, gently. she'd been working long and hard not to stutter when meeting others and was happy to know that it was at least paying off for her. "Think nothing of it.. I know I'm plain and young and all." She waved the notion away without another thought, expecting him to go along on his way after she'd spoken.

He stood there gapping at her. Move you fool! he yelled at himself, now is your chance! Walk away. But he kept standing there. He had never been in a situation like this. What was one supposed to do? Apologize? No…Lebbaeus never apologized. Laugh it off? Yeah, that sounded like a good idea. He smiled and tried to laugh but she started speaking. So instead he ended up making a weird choking noise. She sounded so…sweet! ”Ah, w-well you s-see, I-I just th-thought you w-were,” was he stuttering? He hadn’t stuttered since he was a kit, plus girls never made him nervous – never, what was going on? ”N-no! I n-never s-said you were p-plain! You’re very p-pretty, really c-cute!Oh my god, he panicked, I sound like a ***** or something, I hope no one else can hear this.”

She smiled once more, a friendly one as her tail gave the slightest of twitches. "Thanks.. I think.. I suppose this makes two of you who think that.." She chuckled looking past him a moment. What would joey think if he came upon her to see yet another male sitting here? Shaking her head, her pink eyes rested once more upon the male in front of her. "It's ok.. Really it is. I've got a boyfriend anyways." She chuckled lightly. She wasn't sure she should really quite call joey her betrothed yet, not before she had had a chance to introduce him to her mothers after all. While she was certian that they wouldn't object to their union she still wanted to make sure that when they decided to make things official between them that her family wouldn't bear any ill feelings towards Joey. "I'm Emily by the way."

He was only half listening to her. Half of his brain was trying to focus on the conversation, while his other half was wondering what was for dinner. He never paid attention to girls unless they were…accessible. “Mmhmm,” He said nodding, “That’s whatever you were talking about for you.” Then he paused and his ears pricked up. “What did you say? You have a boyfriend, huh?” He stood there looking her up and down. She just sat there with her big pretty pink eyes looking at him. “Aren’t you a little young for a boyfriend?” He waved his tail impatiently then sat down, “Let me guess, he’s short and fat and you feel sorry for him?” He shook his head as if this were a real shame. “What were you working on anyway? You know this is my tree right? I marked it up and everything.”

She shook her head with a sigh. "You don't really pay attention much when some one's speaking to you... do you?" She looked rather crossly at him for his rudeness. before giving a knowing smile. "You think Maybe because I am so very small that I am so very young?" She tisked at him, tutting like an older sister might tut at her younger naughty brother for tipping over the sugar bowl. "I am not so young as not to have a boyfriend but nor am I so old to be thinking of having bowls of my own, satisfied." She gave him a rather indignant glare. Joey had rubbed off on her some, his boldness she was finding was starting to give her a bit of courage for herself for a change. "He's not fat nor is he short.. All be it a bit rough around the edges.. but I wouldn't change him for the world." She looked back over her shoulder at the tree. "I don't see your name on it.. It's public property after all, it is in the park. As for these papers.. they're part of my work that I took home with me from my job."

Lebbaeus narrowed his eyes and looked over again carefully. She did appear to be old enough to have a boyfriend. He shrugged; he had dismissed the thought because of her small size. ”No…I don’t pay attention to much of anything these days.” He glanced around, the sun was starting to set, and the angels were wandering back to their homes. When he looked up he could see the demons waking up, flying high in the sky. ”You say this ‘boyfriend’ of yours is ruff ‘round the edges huh?” He smirked, ”Well every guy has his bad side,” He stopped, Ugh…you’re doing it again. he yelled at himself internally. She’s too young for you. Act like an older brother -not a pervert! Lebbaeus blinked and realized he had been staring at her intently while he was having his small internal battle. ”Um…I was just…You see the thing is…” he stood up and shook himself, like he had just gotten out of a pool. ”I don’t believe I’ve introduced myself, how rude of me. My name is Lebbaeus, pleasure to meet you.” He flew up into the branches of the tree. ”If you would be so kind as to join me up here, I will show you my marking, claiming this as my tree.”

"Even if you did mark it, it's still public property.." She said peering up at him. She didn't budge from her spot under the tree and simply shuffled the papers into a small folder before putting them away in a small messenger bag. "I'm Emily.." She stated. "No doubt everyone has a bad side.." She shrugged some and watched the sun as it started to descend for the evening. "Look.. Eve if you did put your name on a public park's tree it doesn't excuse you from minding your manners.." She fluttered her wings rather indignantly. " I don't appreciate getting the third degree about my age based on my size alone."

Lebbaeus flew back down to her side when he saw that she wasn’t going to follow him. ”I marked the tree when I was a very young kit, I probably didn’t know any better.” He sat quietly while she spoke. ”Emily? That’s a pretty name. It suits you very nicely.” He shifted his weight back and forth on his front paws for a minute while he thought of something to say. He wasn’t used to talking to a girl for so long and her not liking him right off the bat. Well…except for Koi, He thought. ”Manners…I don’t know if you’ve noticed but Demons are usually lacking in that category. And it’s not like I had any parents to teach me how to act properly…” He laughed awkwardly. Lebbaeus usually never talked about his parents. Where did that come from, he wondered. ”Don’t be mad, I was just teasing you about your size. I didn’t mean any real harm, you can ask my friend Koi, I do it to everyone.” Great now she’s going to think I’m rude to everyone I meet, he mentally hit himself. The sun was getting lower, and this park was especially not a good place for a lady to be out at night. The demons loved wide-open spaces like this to hang out, plus all the shops were closed so there was no point staying in town. ”It’s getting late…may I escort you home? Night isn’t a good time for angels to be walking around alone.”

Emily arched a brow and looked about. She had the feathery wings.. but she'd never thought of herself as an angelic kind before. Both the mothers that raised her had been wingless, her sisters were wingless.. The fact that she could fly was mainly due to the generosity of an adult when she was a kit. Stretching her wings, she folded them to her sides before pulling her blanket up and over them, hiding them from view. "Better? Now no one but you and I know they're there..." She watched the others come about for the evening with mild interest. "My mother's old housemate.. He has wings like yours.... but he's rather nice unless you disturb his sleep..." She stated, not bothering to get up to walk home. She wasn't ready just yet. Carefully, she gathered the papers she'd been working on, making their stack neat and tidy before labeling parts of them with sticky notes for later and sticking them into the pack she carried.

Lebbaeus sat down when he noticed she wasn’t in any kind of hurry to get home. He watched as she pulled her blanket up over her wings, making her look even more angelic. It looked like she was wearing a pale blue cloak that glowed in the last remaining rays of sun, but he said nothing, having a feeling she would just get more upset at him if he did. ”Your mom’s housemate had wings like mine, huh?” Lebbaeus flapped his large leather wings in one powerful stroke and for a moment, he floated inches above the grass. ”What’s his name? I might have met him at some point.” He landed and walked in a circle around her, watching the other demons carefully. Emily sat quite calmly organizing her papers. Lebbaeus glanced over the stack of papers she had, covered is sticky notes, as she placed in her bag. ”That’s a lot of labels,” he commented. “What kind of work do you do?”
