YOU'LL HAVE TO RISE ABOVE THE BEST AND PROVE YOURSELF, YOUR SPIRIT NEVER DIES ❝ Sarah’s head swam as he caught her and her face flushed with embarrassment both at the klutziness and at her condition. She made a displeased sound as she tried to right herself with his help. Damn he smells good…wait Detective Lockhart? Why in bloody hell does his name sound so familiar? Her mind was too muddle with the dizziness to be able to place that she had seen his name on one of the desks plates. “just let me call my brother I need to at least let him know that I will be a few more hours, but seriously we don’t have to go back to yer place…I’ll be fine on a park bench or somethin’ I don’t want to be any trouble” She really didn’t want to around anyone when she felt vulnerable like this, he may come with stellar reviews but it wasn’t smart to trust a complete stranger. She held onto his arm with her left hand and rested her forehead in the palm of her right hand looking down at her back. She bent to pick it up allowing him to keep her steady. She checked the zipper making sure it hadn’t come unzipped. Last thing she needed was for this apparent detective to find out she was actually starting at Interpol the next day.

Smiling, “Nonsense. I’m not leaving you on some park bench somewhere while you work this out. Go ahead and call your brother. My home is pretty much just around the corner.” He removes his jacket and gently puts it over Sarah’s shoulders and tries to take her duffel from her, so he can carry it for her. This night wasn’t going quite how he’d planned for it to, but it certainly wasn’t a bad experience. If they ever spoke again this would certainly be a story the shared together. He hoped she would at least go with him to get her equilibrium back before going off to wherever she called home.

YOU'LL HAVE TO RISE ABOVE THE BEST AND PROVE YOURSELF, YOUR SPIRIT NEVER DIES ❝ She raised a brow at him as she allowed him to take her duffel bag and settle the coat around her shoulders. It was heavy and warm. She tried not to think about how it came to be that way and she quickly shoved the thoughts out of her mind. “Alrigh’, you win…but only fer an hour or two.” Surprisingly she could speak relatively clear for the amount of spinning her mind was going through. She really should have gone straight home and grabbed a bite to eat instead of just wanting to watch the League match. She didn’t find it all that worth it to be an imposition on him as well as make a fool out of herself. She was going to need to go to bed early tomorrow night to make up for her lack of sleep tonight. He seemed well intentioned and she didn’t catch any uneasy vibes off him. However, it was always better to be safe than sorry when it came to trusting someone. At least she had her team with her in case something happened. She led the way out, careful of where she stepped and pulled her cell phone out, flipping through it until she got to Malik’s number. Once they were outside she dialed his number and composed herself to sound as sober as possible. He didn’t answer so she left a message “Hey, it’s me…just calling to let you know I won’t be home for a few more hours. If you haven’t already make sure you get some dinner. I’ll see you tomorrow evening after work. Love you…Bye”She hung up and turned to Xavier, as she leaned against the wall. The cool air hit her like a smack in the face but it felt good. “So…” she felt awkward now that they were out of the bar and the noise, the streets where still noisy but not as loud as a tight bar.

The awkwardness of this situation was getting to be a bit too much. “Well, it is right this way.” He started walking towards his home, turning his head back to insure he was being followed. He didn’t want to lose his jacket after all, but if his suspicions were correct it would be easy to get it back if she decided to bolt now. “Once we get back, I’ll fix you something small to eat. That should help it clear your system more quickly.” He was actually fairly handy in the kitchen as well. It was just another one of the skills he picked up along the way. Pondering this he absent-mindedly sends his growlithe, Skoll, out. Skoll barks happily up at him and takes a place following close to his heels. It was good to have a little bit of security with you too wandering the streets this late. Turning back, mainly to break the awkward silence he seemed to be having an incredibly difficult time breaking strangely, “This is my growlithe, Skoll.” Skoll turns back and wags his tail at Sarah. “We should be there shortly, it’s only about a block or so now.”

YOU'LL HAVE TO RISE ABOVE THE BEST AND PROVE YOURSELF, YOUR SPIRIT NEVER DIES ❝ “You really don’t have to go to all this trouble for some chick you met in a bar on a Monday night,” she sighed softly chewing on her lower lip. Like her leg twitch, it was a nervous habit of hers from time to time. Upon him releasing his growlithe she relaxed some; the eagerness of the younger Pokemon reminded her of Chance when he was younger. She clicked the button on Chance’s ball and he came along in step beside her. He sniffed cautiously at the man in front of him; he was cautious but not aggressive. It wasn’t common for Sarah to be found with males other than Malik. “This is Chance,” she ruffled the growlithe’s head affectionately happy that she didn’t have to bend down to do so. He was tall for his species and paired with her height his head came just at the height of her hand. “Thank you,” her voice was soft as she pulled the jacket about her tighter as a cool breeze caught her at the wrong angle.

Skoll, upon seeing a senior growlithe immediately runs over and starts trying to play with it. “Hey now, I’m the one who insisted on that shot. You wouldn’t be in this situation if it wasn’t for me. It’s only right I help you get yourself composed.” Making one last turn, “And we’re here.” He walks up to a decent sized home for a solo man. It’s a 4 bed/2 bath home. Opening the door to the living room with a large leather sofa and a well put together entertainment center (I don’t have all the details outlined just yet. General feeling is it’s comfortable and looks upper middle class). “Please, have a seat. Make yourself comfortable. I’ll have some food worked up here in just a little bit.” He sets the tv to play a smooth jazz album, “If you want to listen to something else, set it to what you like. This is just what I like listening to” He then rolls up his sleeves and while making his way into the kitchen. The clattering of pots and pans can be heard shortly after.

YOU'LL HAVE TO RISE ABOVE THE BEST AND PROVE YOURSELF, YOUR SPIRIT NEVER DIES ❝ Chance's reaction to the spry growlithe was an amiable couple of bounces and then he came in line beside Sarah. The other growlithe was alright enough but he wasn’t sold on this man that she was with. Sarah left Chance out of his ball as Xavier escorted her into his home. Ok so he’s well off...and relatively decent so far.
These thoughts mingled through her mind with the fuzz of the shot and the headache that came with it. Mixing a strong liquor with the two beers did not make for a happy drunken experience. She saw the coat rack by the door and she hung his jacket up before she forgot to leave it behind. She couldn’t help but look around curiously as she followed him into the living room, she became mildly perplexed at his music choice. Smooth Jazz was exceedingly deceiving no matter how one sliced it and diced it. She hung back in the living room for a moment looking around and feeling exceedingly out of place. Chance nudged her affectionately to reassure her before he began to investigate sniffing around and leading the way into the kitchen. Chance situated himself next to one of the bar stools and sat down at attention watching Xavier move around the kitchen much more satisfied now that he was able to keep an eye on the new male. Sarah pulled the stool away and sat down. He probably wouldn’t see it but she jittered her foot up and down in one of her nervous habits. Being disoriented and in an unfamiliar environment made a stellar combination of social grace, or lack there of, in the young woman. “Nice place,” she looked around and as well as watched him “I hope I don’t upset your girlfriend by being here,” she winced inwardly as she had not wanted that thought to be spoken outloud.

Ah, she had decided to follow him. That makes sense, being left unattended in a stranger’s house can be awkward. Well, I guess that means she can watch him cook now too. He had decided something breakfast-y would get this taken care of quickly, eggs were notoriously good hangover food. The same principle should apply here too. He begins by starting some bacon in the pan. While that is cooking he starts chopping up some onion, bell pepper, and grating some cheddar then beating them into some eggs and cooking them in the bacon grease after draining the excess. When he goes out to dump the grease he lets the remainder of his pokemon out, a numel (who promptly goes over to a sandy area and buries itself), a magmortar, and a torkoal, who both go over to the numel. Skoll runs out to play with the others too. He looks around, “Thanks, I like it here. My work pays well enough. I can’t complain save that it feels kinda big sometimes.” “My girlfriend? Oh, she wont mind. She’s in another nation.” He looks up smirking, “Imagi-nation.”

YOU'LL HAVE TO RISE ABOVE THE BEST AND PROVE YOURSELF, YOUR SPIRIT NEVER DIES ❝ Sarah stared at him blankly for a moment as the sarcasm processed before she let out a painfully amused laugh, shaking her head. “I bet you’ve been savin’ that one for a while…try not to hurt yourself by thinkin’ too hard,” she jested lightly. The sarcasm loosened her up a bit and she began to feel a little less out of place. Chance looked bored at the man’s attempts at humor and was not all too understanding why Sarah found it amusing. He let out a grumbling snort, and rested his head on her lap after placing his two paws on one of the barstool rungs. “Not now Chance,” she scolded gently knowing that he was begging for her attention. Usually this time of night was dedicated to grooming, bonding, and other down time activities with her Pokémon. However, this evening was obviously different than the normal. Was Chance jealous? She shook the intuition off and patted his head reassuringly. He was probably just uneasy being in a strange place with a strange man. It wasn’t common for her to be around men, unless it was Malik MADE BY MINNIE OF FTS & GS

Xavier laughs sheepishly, “Yeah, I have been holding on to that for a while actually. I thought it was pretty clever.” Having finished cooking the filling for the burritos he plates and wraps them up. “Is Chance allowed to have a small one? He looks like he wants a treat.” If there were no objections he would make a small plate of the eggs and bacon for the growlithe and sets it on the ground near the pupper. Finishing plating the food he brings a plate for Sarah and himself to the bar before going back to the fridge to pour them both glasses of orange juice. Bringing the cups back and placing one in front of her he takes the adjacent seat. “I know it isn’t too much but eat up. This should help.” Before taking a bite of his.
Sarah Hawk - hurray for bacon and eggs and their alcohol fighting superpowers!

YOU'LL HAVE TO RISE ABOVE THE BEST AND PROVE YOURSELF, YOUR SPIRIT NEVER DIES ❝ Chance’s ears perked at the man when he called him by name with the promise of treats. Chance looked to Sarah expectantly and she nodded relenting to the growlithes large wide eyed pout. When Xavier placed it down for him he cheerily began cleaning his plate. Sarah gave a polite “thank you” before she began tentatively nibbling at her omelet testing to see how her stomach would react. She took it slow, the last thing she wanted was to hurl. “You seem to have a knack for this sort of thing,” she said thoughtfully “take care of girls you get drunk a lot or am I just the lucky one?” This was her way of interrogating his intentions. It was light, conversational and non confrontational. If he didn’t have a girlfriend and he was well off then was he just a playboy that picked up random chicks all the time. If he was that really would bother her and she would probably take to staying out of bars entirely. She didn’t like the idea of just being some stupid, drunken girl some playboy picked up in a bar. Her mind began to clear a little bit more as the drunkenness began to wear off and she was able to process information better. What the bartender had said began to run through her mind again and she started to have the mild recollection of where that name sounded familiar and knots began to form in her stomach. She needed to kindly and properly make her exit before she did anything too stupid. But then again it was also too late for that. When Chance finished his food he went to sniff at Xavier as he was now curious about the man who had managed to sway Sarah to let him have some human food. MADE BY MINNIE OF FTS & GS
