Early Morning Start (Greg)
They had been driving all night. Well she had she was sure Greg had slept. It was just after sunrise when she decided that she needed to pull into a rest stop. There was an old fashioned looking dinner, a big looking rest room, and a gas station.

She needed coffee so badly so she parked the car and let out a groan. She might need a hand getting out of the car at this point.

"Mornin' Greg," she grumbles trying to not face plant on the steering wheel. Once she has coffee and something terrible for her she'll feel better.

Greg woke with a start and it took him a moment to remember where he was. He wiped the small amount of drool off of his chin and lifted his head from where it had been lying back against the top of the seat.

"Morning already?"

He was exhausted and sore all over. Healing took a good bit out of him. They had driven out to some god forsaken town in the middle of nowhere Washington to investigate reports of townspeople going missing. What they had found was a Nukekubi and the two of them had quickly taken care of it. Now they were on their way back to Seattle.

	She tilts her head slightly to glance his way and fights to hide a smile. He had been sort of cute looking the few times she had checked up on him. She was just glad one of them got to rest. "Yeah sort of. Sun is rising. That's morning to some people." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Want me to drive?" he asked and rubbed the sleep from his eyes. He took a moment to look out the windows. "Where are we?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	artofcreation 2012-06-13 08:29 pm UTC (link)
	"Can we get some coffee first," she asks as she shifts around trying to stay at least a little awake. "Looks like a rest stop. There's a gas station and a dinner of some flavor. Food and gas could do a world of good." She is being very unsubtle about her need for food gas is just generally a good idea since the price looks decent. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Sure. I could use some fuel myself. Healing takes a bit out of me." He glanced over at her. "How long was I out?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Let's see..... it was about ten when the fight went down. It got dicey." She rubs her jaw in thought. "It was about midnight when we pulled out of town. You fell asleep shortly before one," she guesses. "I just didn't want to pull over till now. Needed the break." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	fullmoonfever 2012-06-13 08:57 pm UTC (link)
	"I'm sorry," he apologized. "I didn't mean to sleep so long. Breakfast is on me as well as gas and coffee." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	artofcreation 2012-06-13 10:13 pm UTC (link)
	"It's okay, you were tired and needed the sleep," she reassures him. But now she knows she needs the sleep and she won't admit she thought he was sort of cute while sleeping. "All right," she agrees. "I'm to tired to argue anyways." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	fullmoonfever 2012-06-13 11:26 pm UTC (link)
	Greg gave her a tired smile and got out of the car. "Do you have any idea where we are?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	artofcreation 2012-06-13 11:40 pm UTC (link)
	"We just passed Chelan lake like.... forty minutes back. Which means if we're lucky we'll get home this afternoon.... And after this I'll need you to take over for a few hours." She rubs her face as she manages to get out of the car without having to ask fr help. It's obvious that she's going to need some shut eye though. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I'll drive the rest of the way," he said. "It's the least I can do." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	artofcreation 2012-06-15 05:39 pm UTC (link)
	"Thanks." She yawns sleepily as they get closer to the diner. She's pretty much getting close to dead on her feet. It's obvious she's still somewhat aware of what's going on around them. For her it's good there's few people here right now so she can just relax a bit before they hit the road again. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	fullmoonfever 2012-06-17 05:22 pm UTC (link)
	"It's the least I can do," he said. He put an arm around her waist so she could lean on him. He knew how tired she must be. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	artofcreation 2012-06-17 05:30 pm UTC (link)
	Yeah that helps. She tries to not put her head on his shoulder on their way over to the diner. It's nice to have the help to get over to the diner. She'll feel better once she has food and coffee in her system. She'll probably fall asleep in the passenger's seat no matter the amount of food and coffee though. Long nights do that.

	"....Egg. Lots of eggs. And bacon. And coffee," Rita decides as they get inside. They get eyed by a pair of truckers who were taking a break. A tired looking waitress greets them with a smile. "Take any seat you'd like. Be with you real quick," the waitress says. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	fullmoonfever 2012-06-19 04:17 pm UTC (link)
	"Whatever you want," Greg said. He gave the waitress a smile. "Thank you and please take your time." Just because he turned into a savage animal didn't mean he didn't have any manners. His parents raised him better than that. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Rita doesn't mind that they have to wait. It just means she can sit down some place that isn't the seat of the car for a bit. The waitress seems a little charmed by the good manners Greg uses. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	fullmoonfever 2012-06-19 08:06 pm UTC (link)
	Greg found an empty booth and waited until Rita slid in one side and sat down before he did the same. He grabbed two menus from the holder and offered one to Rita. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	artofcreation 2012-06-19 09:01 pm UTC (link)
	She gave him a smile. She wasn't up for talking but was still trying to be polite. It was hard not to be nice with Greg around. She pours over the menu before finding something that looks good enough. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	fullmoonfever 2012-06-19 10:20 pm UTC (link)
	"A lot of things look good," Greg said as he studied the menu. The door to the diner opened and sent a slight breeze of air through the place. Greg paused in his menu reading and looked up. He sniffed the air again to make sure he was smelling what he thought he was smelling. A man stood in the doorway and was talking to the waitress. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	artofcreation 2012-06-19 11:22 pm UTC (link)
	"Yeah. This was a good find," she agrees. Most places she's found while doing on the road hunting are on the sketchy side. She thinks that this place is pretty nice. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	fullmoonfever 2012-06-20 04:04 pm UTC (link)
	"Something smells off though," he said quietly and nodded toward the man near the door. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	artofcreation 2012-06-20 04:11 pm UTC (link)
	Rita glances over at Greg then at the man. She can't slide her goggles down without drawing attention to herself so she can't judge if this man has some kind of magical aura or not. She does though have her bag with her though. "Let's just keep an eye on things. Can't assume anything right now." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	fullmoonfever 2012-06-21 08:53 pm UTC (link)
	Greg nodded. This was not the place he wanted to make a scene in. "You're right." "I think I'm going with steak and eggs." Greg always went with steak when he could. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	artofcreation 2012-06-21 09:14 pm UTC (link)
	"Eggs and bacon," Rita decides. Bacon is after all pretty awesome early in the day like this. She also wants coffee but that's a given this time of day. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	fullmoonfever 2012-06-21 10:45 pm UTC (link)
	When the waitress came over Greg gave her both their orders along with a pot of coffee. They could both use some coffee. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	artofcreation 2012-06-21 10:54 pm UTC (link)
	She relaxes back into her seat letting her gaze wander to the stranger briefly. She was trying to not be obvious about her curiosity. She couldn't tell anything unless she had her goggles down and that would be pretty suspicious looking. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	fullmoonfever 2012-06-22 03:55 pm UTC (link)
	Greg sat up and leaned a little forward. He didn't like the smell of the guy and had a feeling this could be the start of trouble. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	artofcreation 2012-06-22 06:17 pm UTC (link)
	Rita tries to act casual but it's hard when Greg's body language says he expects something. She's not sure just what's going to happen but she's as ready as she can be. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	fullmoonfever 2012-06-23 09:59 pm UTC (link)
	The waitress brought their food and Greg thanked her with a smile. He tried to focus on the plate of food in front of him, but his attention kept going back to the man who had walked in. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Rita had started to perk up over the coffee. She gave a pleasant sigh after she took a long sip then glanced around acting as if the coffee had really woken her up.

Then she thought for a second she recognized something about a ring on that man's hand. A symbol she had seen somewhere, perhaps in one of her grandfather's books. That made her a little more thoughtful and more quite than she had been but it's not from being tired now. She's more of in a thinking mode right now.

	Greg practically chugged the coffee and woofed down his food. He was starving as he usually was after a night of dealing with things, but he wanted to get as much as he could before he had to deal with that man. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	artofcreation 2012-06-23 10:49 pm UTC (link)
	The eggs and bacon are shortly attacked by her with vigor. She had needed at least half a cup of coffee before she could eat. And quite frankly this is the best bacon she has had in a while. She might be good at alchemy but she isn't that good of a cook. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	fullmoonfever 2012-06-23 11:21 pm UTC (link)
	"I don't like this," Greg said when he paused eating long enough to say something. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	artofcreation 2012-06-23 11:24 pm UTC (link)
	"His ring. I think I recognize it from one of my Grandfather's books," Rita says lowly. "I just can't remember which one. It might have been one of the ones he thought I wasn't ready for." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	fullmoonfever 2012-06-23 11:26 pm UTC (link)
	"Good or bad?" Greg asked before he downed the remainder of his coffee. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	artofcreation 2012-06-23 11:29 pm UTC (link)
	"Bad. He has a habit of trying to protect me from the-- Very black things," she says trying to keep her voice so only he will hear it. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	fullmoonfever 2012-06-23 11:30 pm UTC (link)
	Greg sighed. "Of course it's bad," he said. "I guess we couldn't have a quiet trip back." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	artofcreation 2012-06-23 11:49 pm UTC (link)
	"We need to be careful," she points out. She wishes they could have had a nice trip back. "And no I guess not." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"We wait until he leaves and then follow him outside," Greg suggested. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	artofcreation 2012-06-24 12:54 am UTC (link)
	"All right." She glances around. "For now it seems like he's just as hungry as we are so we should be good for a bit." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	fullmoonfever 2012-06-24 05:55 pm UTC (link)
	"Here's hoping," Greg said as he held up his coffee mug to signal the waitress that he needed a refill. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	artofcreation 2012-06-24 06:18 pm UTC (link)
	She holds hers up shortly after. She needs more coffee especially if she's going to deal with someone dangerous. If she has to drive after if Greg needs to.... do his thing? She will find a place so she can nap because neither of them would be safe for driving. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Greg gave the waitress a smile when she refilled their cups. He took a sip and smiled. Nothing beat a great cup of coffee. Except beer. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	artofcreation 2012-06-26 08:22 pm UTC (link)
	Rita would agree about both coffee and beer. She does though have to limit how much beer she gets to have, sadly. The books and supplies she chases can get pricy. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	fullmoonfever 2012-06-27 08:12 pm UTC (link)
	Greg quickly finished off his food and sat back in the booth. He felt better with food and coffee in him. Now he was ready to take on the day. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	artofcreation 2012-07-04 12:45 am UTC (link)
	"Mmm. After this? I'm taking over the back seat," Rita informs him. She's still tired and has no desire to be up for longer than she has to. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	fullmoonfever 2012-07-04 10:58 pm UTC (link)
	Greg smiled. "It's all yours. I'll drive the rest of the way back and you can sleep." (Reply to this)(Parent)
