"Well..if there ever comes a time when I need something solved then I will definitely come to you first. Since you've got the brains and all.." Adia laughed. She looked up just as they reached the iron gates of the school, awkwardly gripping one of the bars. "It's ok to brag you know..you deserve it."

"Nah, it's just...you know, just because my brain grew up faster doesn't mean I'm special" Aidan said grimacing. He leaned against the gate and looked at her. "When kids my age were playing outdoors I'd sit in my father's library. Not that I don't like outdoor activities but I've always found reading more interesting than getting my knees scratched while climbing trees or something"

Adia turned to rest her shoulder against the gate as he did, a partial grin gracing her lips. "Oh my goodness.." She sighed, tilting her head back as if she couldn't believe what she was hearing. "You need me Aidan Kinney. Those knees must be scraped, it's all a part of growing up. And I think i'm just the person to help you do so."

"Really" Aidan said with a boyish smile. He turned his head fully to face her. "And how do you think that can be done? I'm not as clumsy as I used to be as a boy" He added. It was a lie. As a vampire he'd never been clumsy. His moves have always been graceful, fluent and slightly feminine. "I think I'm too old for having my knees scraped" He added with a small chuckle. His hand brushed one of the mentioned knees running over his worn jeans

Adia loved his smile. It made him seem so much younger than what he was and she couldn't help but match it with one of her own. She shook her head. "Don't be silly Aidan, you are never too old to scrape your knees. You look like someone who could use a bit of a childish adventure. My mind is already made up and once that happens it can't be changed so you are just going to have to suffer through it."

Aidan was already starting to be afraid. What kind of plan has just formed in her head he couldn't tell but he was sure she'd do everything she could to put it into life. "And what kind of a childish adventure do you have in mind?" He asked hoping she'd tell him or at least give him a hint. This way he'd know how to prepare for this at least

The fear on his face was easily recognizable and she reached up to gently rub his cool cheek with the pad of her thumb sympathetically. "I think it would be better if I kept it as a surprise. Just use your imagination Kinney." She replied. "I promise it won't be too terribly frightening for you."

"My imagination shows me very scary images Miss Tait" Aidan said with a small grimace. He was still feeling uneasy. "My knees are fine the way they are and they definitely don't want to be scratched" He murmured. The touch of her thumb on his cheek felt strange. He wasn't used to humans touching him and he was scared his cold skin might get her suspicious

"Maybe you are the only person who can change my mind." Adia sighed. She dropped her hand and clasped both of them behind her back so that she wouldn't be tempted to touch him anymore. She could see how it seemed that she was forcing her company on him and that wasn't something that she wanted. "Fine, your knees are safe for now."

"Change your mind? Like about what?" Aidan asked. For the first time in his life he couldn't predict someone's next move. This girl was surprising him. Acting strange. A part of him felt like it was aging fast forward from all that unknown. "My knees are happy to hear that" He said with a wide happy smile.

"I'm not going to force you to be a kid again." Adia answered with a small shrug of her shoulders. She turned her head, gazing up at the school grounds as she chewed on the inside of her cheek. She could always get Chris to go do something fun like that with her as their lives were incredibly dull at the moment. "I'll see you again soon right? Or I could wait a little while before seeing you again? Or not at all? Don't be afraid to tell me to piss off if I become annoying.."

"Thanks" Aidan said with a tiny smile. He leaned his head against the bars of the gate and looked at her. "I didn't really like being a kid. You know...actually sometimes I think I've never really been a kid. I never had friends my age, just two annoying sisters" He sighed. "Guess Jasper is the first real friend I have." The first one in his long life. "Actually you promised to help me with the investigation tomorrow, right?" he added and his smile widened

"Yes I did promise but I wasn't sure if you really wanted me to come." Adia replied, looking up at him with a weak half-smile. She would keep her promise if he wanted, it wasn't like she had anything better to do. Pressing a kiss to the tips of her fingers she reached over to touch them to his cheek. "Thanks for walking me.."

"Um..no problem" Aidan stuttered. He lowered his head shyly and looked at her from behind loose strands that slipped onto his face. "Of course I want you to come. I wouldn't remind you that if I didn't want your company, right? I mean...you know a lot and have seen a lot and...yeah...I do want your help" He babbled. Aidan was a man who knew how to talk to a suspect but completely lacked experience with women

Adia hadn't been aiming to get Aidan all flustered but she was very pleased with the reaction that she got. His stutter was so cute. She would do it again but that would only make him suspicious. "I am happy to help you. I will see you tomorrow then Mr. Kinney." She tugged the gate open with a grunt and after giving Aidan's arm a gentle squeeze she slipped through the small opening.

Aidan smiled watching her go but before she disappeared he remembered something. "Wait!" he called and ran to her. "Here's the address of my office. Could you meet me there?" He asked handing her a business card where his and Jasper's names were written in red letters right under the name of the agency.

Adia paused in mid step as he called out for her to wait, turning on her heel so that she could face him. "Alright, I'll meet you there." She nodded, glancing down at the business card that he handed her. He had already given her one back at the hotel but she kept that to herself as she tucked the card into her pocket with the other one. "See you.." She murmured with a small wave.

"Thanks" Aidan smiled. He forgot he'd given her a card. There were times when he was awfully absent minded for a genius. "So..see you" He waved and turned around. For a few moments his thoughts were wandering aimlessly jumping from one thing to another but when he crossed the gate again it clicked back into the investigator mode
