puddles suck

Drew walked up the slushy sidewalk, hands crammed down into his pockets, and his head down against the wind. It wasn't cold, really, just windy, and he felt soaked. Walking around Marquette while there was a huge melt of massive amounts of snow was messy at best, and with as many deep puddles as he'd trod through by accident, he was thoroughly uncomfortable. But, he didn't have a whole lot of choice in being out and about, either, so he was just...being out and about, only wet and gross feeling.

He'd gotten himself an apartment, though the term 'apartment' could probably be swapped with 'compartment' considering the size of the place. He could just about turn around and hook up his computer, and that was it. Okay, it was slightly larger than that, but it didn't feel larger than that. Especially after the much more upscale accommodations he'd been used to in the past few years. But he was on the run at the moment, and when one was on the run, you didn't get choices in fine living spaces. You took what you could get, and called it good. Either way he was sort of just out for a walk, familiarizing himself with the area, as well as making some sort of attempt to get a bit of food for himself. He was entirely lost in thought, and went to step off of a curb when his foot slid out from beneath him and he found himself sitting in a slusy puddle of doom.

The whole dragging Grayson to Babylon for his own protection had been a good idea all the way up until Jocelyn realized just how small her room there was. Sure it was one of the larger rooms at Babylon because she'd been there longer, but when you put in a six foot plus werewolf sleeping on your floor it seemed a lot smaller. Never before had Jocelyn wanted out of her home and place of employment as bad as she had this afternoon.

So here she was plodding through the half slush in black rainboots with pink polka dots on and headed to Nevermore. Mostly just to get out, but also looking for some new spells to add to her arsenal. She hadn't seen Drew go down, but he'd definitely splashed her when he landed in the puddle. "Hey!" Jocelyn looked around angry, assuming it was some car, but instead found him sitting there, wet. Well she couldn't be angry with that could she? "You ok?"

Drew looked over, and felt oh, miserably embarrassed. Shit. "I um...yes?" he suggested. "I'm not going to die. I mean, I could probably get hypothermia or something and I'm kind of willing to bet that I'm never going to have sex in my life ever ever ever again, but I guess I'm physically just kind of cold and wet now and so...yes?" he landed on. "Sorry, didn't mean to splash you." he added, since he'd caught her annoyed 'hey'. He started to push himself to his feet, sort of feeling like bits of him were on fire with cold. Which was a weird sensation at best.

"I highly doubt that," she told him with a sly smile. "Both the sex part and the hypothermia part." If anyone knew about sex, it'd be Jocelyn. Plus she'd thought she'd died of hypothermia plenty of times since moving to Marquette and it hadn't happened yet. "Here, let me help." Reaching out she grabbed his arm, pulling a little. "At least you aren't freezing immediately. That actually happens here. The first time I saw it I almost moved home. And don't worry about splashing me, you mostly got my boots."
