The Roof; It's surprisingly big.

Away from the lights and sounds of the people inside, a small plume of smoke began to billow from the roof of the home. On a broad, flat stretch, Hadrian sat, rubbing his hands for warmth in front of the small fire he'd managed to start, using the pieces of shingles he'd torn off, and some of the starter materials he kept on him.

He took a sip from his flask, thought about it, and poured some of the fluid onto the flame, causing it to blaze up slightly. Pulling out a small piece of meat, he skewered it on a stick and held it above the blaze.

Never was good at apparating, he thought to himself. He'd been up here since his narrow escape from Skyris, not really wanting to come down, partially out of worry that he should encounter her again, and partially out of sheer apathy for himself. But the night had geown colder, and he had finally relented and built the fire. They may see me, but let 'em. It's not like I'm doing anything illegal.

Skyris climbed onto the roof of HQ by using a window located in the attic. Link waited inside due to the fact that he could not get through it because it was so small.

"Camping out are we?" she smirked.

Seeing the figure approach him, Hadrian went wide-eyed, and dropped one of the row of sticks he had propped up against the fire. His first instinct was to run away. No good. No way she'd not know I'm here. "Well," he said, as casually and evenly as he could muster in his dear-caught-in-headlights-mood, "It's....Uhh, it's cold out. Needed something......to keep me warm."

"Really? Is that so," she smirked leaning beside the chimney.

"Yeah....And I kinda figured I oughta try actually cooking this stuff for once," he said, pointing to the skewered meat. What the h*ll do I do now? "You....Want to sit down? It's really cold out. This thing's pretty warm." He chuckled, "It's cooking with booze in it. Yeah, Nice and warm."

Skyris just continued to watch him from her spot.

"No thanks," she said, "If I want to warm up I'll go to Link."

Hadrian stared at Skyris when she said this, then took a swig from his flask yet again. He blew air out of hs mouth for a long moment, then just said, "Yeah.......Yeah."

He looked back up at her, and said, glumly "What happened? To....You. You and me? Wha' happened?" He sighed again, "Look, mabe I wasn't all there, but I could Swear, I could Swear, that....Somethin' was gonna happen. What....what changed? What went wrong?"

"Hm" was all Hadrian said at first. Then he chuckled. "Well, then, why is it, that I'm a wherewolf, and I'm sitting up here on the roof like a loser?" He looked at her, gravely serious. "'Cuz if I come down, I'm gonna hafta see you, and that guy, together, and happy all the time. Look, I'm sure you aren't trying to hurt me, but no matter what intention you got, you're gonna smack me in the face every time I see you. Every single time."
He took another sip, leaned back. His mood was casual. "Ever had that happen to you before, Sky? Whad you do about it?"

"I never did simply because I was detached from everyone for the majority of my adult life," she stated, "If it had not been for Link I probably still would be...he showed me something different in life..."

Hadrian put his head in his hands. "I wanted to do that. You did that for me, too, ya know? 'Till I met you, I just wandered. That's all I did. I had a job, a house, but the house was empty. I just kept wandering around, ya know? Then, when I met you, when I talked to ya, I just felt like,...I had somewhere to go. Like....A purpose. Now...I dunno. What am I gonna do now? I got no point again."
He chuckled yet again. "You don't really realize you need a point until its gone."

Skyris looked at him somewhat in pity but realized strongly that this was her life and she controlled it.

"Hadrianus...it wasn't mean to be," she said to him as she looked at a pale crescent moon, "I cannot be what you want me to be."

He glanced thoughtfully into the fire. "Nahh....Nah, I know, I know. I don't know what I'm doing, is all. I didn't want you to be anything. Just you. Just you. The way you are now....Just you."

He looked at the fire some more. "What's so wrong with that?" He said to no one in particular. "Just you."

"I am just me," she snapped, "And I'm not going anywhere."

Skyris sighed, this would be a very long time on the roof of HQ if he kept this up.

Hadrian lay on his back and stared up at the stars. "Why'd ya come up here, Sky? I'm just going in a circle. Look, I'm sorry about yesterday but.....It's like....If you're there, I'm gonna be like that. If you're not, I'm gonna wish you were there. I don't know. Why'd ya come here? Whadya want from me anyway? You got an apology, that's for sure. You got me, but you clearly ain't interested in that. I got nothing else for ya."

Skyris was getting slightly annoyed with him at this point.

"You think I'm just a prize to be won don't you? Another skin to hang up and show off?" she snarled, "I'm not like that Hadrianus, I'm a living breathing being."

She began to back to get inside.

"Stay here if you want," she said, "See if I care."

"D'ya really think that?" he muttered, more to himself. "That I don't care? That I think you're a prize? That I'm just...after you for the h*ll of it?"

He sighed to himself. "I care. I care what happens to you. Maybe a little too much. You can hate me, and I'd still care. "

He sighed, "I won't hurt you. Or him. I'll come down, and I'll ride it out. I'm already dead anyway. But you aren't, so I'll keep going."

Skyris just ignored him as she climbed down through the window to see Link waiting for her.

"It was just Hadrianus," she told him as she kissed him.

Link nodded as he took her hands; they were freezing.

"You need to wear gloves," he said to her, "Otherwise you're going to catch something if you keep going on like this."

Skyris smirked as she looked up at him holding her hands; it was true she never wore them...she hated gloves.
