Elsie held the cup of hot chocolate in both of her hands, giving Aidan a brief smile to show her thanks. It took only a couple of sips for the drink to do its trick and spread warmth throughout her small body. "I have a home Mr. Kinney." She insisted with a sharp edge to her tone, returning her gaze back to Jasper. "Maybe I can stay with you for one night? My parents are actually away on business and it sometimes gets a little scary being in such a big home all alone."

Aidan looked down at Jasper and winked. This was a start. And he had a feeling Jasper wanted to make sure this girl was safe. He knew why. He heard the story of Jasper's life and could understand why his friend wouldn't want to leave someone else to go through the same. Even if it was just a small human girl. "Of course you can stay with us" He answered for Jasper.

Elsie would drink Aidan's hot chocolate but she wouldn't warm up to him, not yet anyways. She was angry at him for not believing her even though she had been lying. She sent a scowl his way before turning around to reorganize her bag so that it would fit comfortably on her back. "Thank you Major." She mumbled under her breath.

Jasper chuckled. "I don't think you're her favorite man Dan. Sorry" He shugged and cackled before getting up. He reached his hand out for Elsie. "We should go. It's getting late and cold. Dan, I don't think we'll find the man we're looking for today. We'll go to find him tomorrow. One day won't make a difference and we'll find him anyway"

Without hesitation Elsie slid her small hand into Jasper's larger ice cold one, her fingers intertwining with his though it was more just to show off in front of Aidan. She didn't know what it was but she naturally held a liking for Jasper. "I do have a home, I swear. My parents are just away on business. You believe me don't you?" The bit about her parents was a lie but she did have a home. She had just never showed up to it.

"Yes, I do" Jasper lied too. He didn't know which part was a lie but something in her story was missing and he'd find it. He knew Aidan caught her lie too. Apparently they'd have another case soon. A personal one. "Until your parents are back you can stay with us. It's nothing special but it's dry, warm and cozy. You'll be safe there" he promised.
"Dan, I think we'll need to get something to eat too" He murmured. They had supplies of bottled blood stolen from a hospital but she needed a human food

Neither one of them believed her, she could see that in the way that they spoke to her and the look in their lies. They were lying about catching her lie. She stared straight ahead of herself as she chewed on the inside of her cheek. The Moonlight Agency would be launching an investigation on her soon. Elsie didn't know how she felt about that, about them finding out her secrets. "Don't bother, Mr. Kinney. Mrs. Swift is already waiting and prepared for our arrival." She murmured.

Mrs. Swift was already waiting for them. "Of course" Aidan rolled his eyes. "Alice saw all that happen. I should have known. Well that helps us a little" He glanced at his friend and chuckled before looking back at Elsie. "But how do you know about it? Jasper did you tell her about Alice's gift?"He asked and frowned when Jasper shook his head

Elsie scowled when she turned her head just to see Aidan roll his eyes when she brought up Jasper's wife. "Don't roll your eyes at her. Alice is an amazing woman and at least Jasper isn't afraid to have someone unlike you." She hissed, turning away and lifting her tiny nose in the air. She said nothing about how she knew this. Her gift wasn't something that she liked to flaunt.

Aidan looked at her as if she was slightly insane. "I'm not afraid to have someone. I'm just not interested in relationships. They're overrated" He shrugged then turned his head and stared at the road with a small frown on his handsome face. "I like Alice. She's a good girl. Only sometimes it would be nice not to have everything seen before it happens. A bit of mystery"

Jasper chuckled when he saw Aidan's reaction. "Right to the core, Elsie" He said looking at his friend with a triumphant smile. "Face it Dan. You solve mysteries, you help others but when your job is done and you go back home you're alone" He said in a calm voice. "You're great at hiding it. You managed to fool even yourself but it's there deep inside you and I can sometimes feel it"

Elsie was used to others looking at her as if she was insane. Before she had ran away there had been talks of sending her to an institution. Her hand tightened around Jasper's and a grin stretched across her face as he backed her up about Aidan's love life. They were both right of course. "You should be sympathetic towards her. Seeing things before they happen can sometimes be a heavy burden, you know."

"It's a heavy burden to all of us" Aidan said shaking his head. Of course he expected Jasper to take Elsie's side. Why was he already so attached to this girl was a mystery but it was obvious. Jasper could be strange sometimes. "Sometimes she answers question we haven't even asked. It's disturbing"

Elsie shook her head in disappointment. Aidan still didn't understand just how big of a burden seeing the future really was to someone and she didn't have the patience to try and explain it to him. She was eager to meet this Alice, even if she was afraid of what they might decide to do with her. She dropped Jasper's hand and stared down at the gravel beneath her feet as she walked just a few paces behind the two men.

Jasper walked with Aidan but he looked at Elsie. "Don't bother Elsie. Aidan is a great mind. He knows a real lot and he knows how to use this knowledge but sometimes he has a problem with actually feeling instead of thinking. Sometimes it would work better if he tried to trust his feelings instead of analysing everything" He said glancing back at his friend

Elsie said nothing, she could care less if Aidan ever learned how to give in to his feelings instead of analyzing everything first. She stayed back near the road as they neared the apartment that the two men shared, watching intently as a small pixie-like woman rushed forward to great her husband with a kiss that held more passion than Elsie had ever seen before. She fussed with the straps of her bag awkwardly as the fear finally settled in her tummy.

Jasper sped up when he saw his wife he pulled her into his arms and kissed back closing his eyes contentedly. "I missed you" He murmured nuzzling her cheek. "We have a guest but you already know that" He added turning to look at Elsie and catching her new emotion.
"Come here" He reached out his hand for her. "And don't be afraid"

It took her a little while and a lot of quick glances between the happy couple and Aidan but she eventually stepped forward obediently. Her small hand sliding into Jasper's larger one. Elsie was fearless, or at least that was what she kept telling herself. This Alice was what one would call the perfect woman, there wasn't anything that she should be afraid of.
--
Alice separated from her husband all too quickly, her lips parted to show off her dazzling white smile as she stepped forward to lower herself to the young woman's level. She didn't have to bend far as Elsie was only a few inches shorter than she. "I've always wanted a beautiful little girl like you. I hope you don't mind if I practice with you tonight? I promise I won't bite.." She held out her hand for Elsie's, her grin widening when her warm hand slid into her own as if that was where it belonged.

Aidan looked at Alice awkwardly pursing his lips and pulling his eyebrows together. "Alice, I don't think that's the way to approach a young girl. You're scary even to me" He said absently tucking his hair behind his ears - a gesture typical for the times when he was nervous. Alice was honest and friendly but she was too open in his eyes and that made her a tiny little bit creepy

Alice scowled and roughly nudged Aidan with her shoulder as she led the little one away from the two men and inside where she had already made it all warm and toasty for the human. She fully expected them to follow as this was their responsibility, she hadn't asked them to bring home a stray child though she would never even think about turning her away. "Ignore him. Aidan is just jealous because he wasn't the one to get to me first." She stated loudly with heavy sarcasm in her voice. "Now come, supper is ready and I know you are hungry."
