She didn't know what to make of this place. The world was paved and bordered with cement while tall buildings set in the skyline. She's been traveling for awhile now but each new city and each new town surprised her. This one was no different. She paused by the park, watching as the children played and smiled. The world was a mixture of dark and light, with buildings blotting out the sun but laughter filling the sweet crisp air. It was a balance that she couldn't disrupt nor did she attempt to try.

There was something here, hidden beneath the city... a story that had to be told and she was searching for it.

It was a tiring walk and she didn't have money for a hotel. She found a seat on a park bench, watching as people past and sirens echoed through the city. A fountain bubbled and curled in front of her while a man with a violin began to play. She didn't have the money she needed but she pulled out a dollar and set it in the violinist's case before retaking her seat on the bench.

Her long hair was tied in two pigtails while a warm jacket covered her shoulders. She didn't need the jacket but there was something comforting in the weight of the material against her skin. A shadow fell over her and her chin lifted. "Can I help you?"

"You almost sound like a guardian."

But guardian angels, as Zed understood them, were always specialized. Attached to a particular human or subset of humans. There was no way he'd have one, and anyway, she'd said wherever I go, so she couldn't mean just him.

Her mouth curved into a warm smile. "I am nothing that dramatic." She might have gotten permission to come to Earth but her calling wasn't all that simple.

She had to right what her sister made wrong.

"It's just how I am. I never really questioned it."

[godsinsolence]

"That sounds familiar, too."

All angels Zed knew at least started out that way. Not questioning. Seemed like that counted even for the ones who didn't belong to Heaven.

It really didn't seem like she was here for any world-shaking purpose. He could deal with feeling that buzz at the back of his neck for another day or two. If she stayed longer than that, her presence might start to be a bother... but he'd cross that bridge when and if it arrived.

"Thanks for the bus fare. I won't keep you." He nodded, then stood again. Paused.

"Just — for curiosity's sake." There was a hint of reticence there. Curiosity was still, sometimes, a dangerous thing. "If you don't have a name, how am I supposed to call you?"

Her mouth curved into a light smile. "I think you could find me if you wanted too. I'm afraid that I don't know where I'll be staying or I'd tell you." She didn't have a place to sleep but she didn't need to sleep. If it came to it, she'd stay up and spend the night wandering around the city.

"If you'd like a way to contact me faster. I can give you a marker."

It was a trick using her magic to point him to her but it wasn't something she gave out often. It wasn't safe. If any of her sisters men found it... she'd never be safe.
