Money was something that Ky didn’t exactly have a lot of and when she did have it sometimes she had to save it up for things like buying an artifact she couldn’t get by any other means. Usually she liked to acquire artifacts by illegal means it made things much more profitable and interesting. Kyrene liked the challenge of finding things and making them her own by any means possible, at least until she sold them to the highest bidder. Today she got money from her latest sale and for once she was going out to celebrate. Perhaps her reason behind it was because it was a new buyer, new customers meant more business when she did a job well. New customers meant she was making new connections the connections she needed to make this move worthwhile.

So when she came home after the hand off with a sack full of galleons she jingled it as she found Simon on his hammock. “We go to drinks,” she said with a grin on her face. She pulled off her shirt and tossed it aside to replace it with something more fitting to going out for a night out with. She pulled it down now in a dark purple dress, she slipped her jeans off and her socks. “Simon come,” she said waving her hand signifying that he should come with her. “Signiture,” she pronounced Signature incorrectly as she slipped her feet into a pair of shoes.

Some time later the two of them had finally made it from their place in Knockturn Alley to Hogsmeade Village. This place looked nice in comparison to the places they normally frequented that were close to home. This would be a completely different pool of fish to observe as she sipped at her drink and Kyrene looked forward to it. So with her arm linked with Simon’s they entered finding a place to sit. Already she could see the people she could observe and it was as if she was observing a delicious chocolate cake she just wanted to devour.

Kyrene pulled her leather jacket from her frame placing it behind her as they settled into the booth.  Her eyes darted around watching as people interacted, watching those who appeared as if they were doing something wrong by being here. Kyrene saw a man with a ring upon his finger obviously married, she watched as he nervously looked around as a beautiful redhead spoke excitedly years his junior. It was his mistress no doubt and he was afraid someone would see and know him. Lucky for him Kyrene was not in the business of secrets and really didn’t know who he was or cared.

Settling into her seat she looked over at Simon. “What do drink?” She asked moving her finger along the top of the table as her eyes focused on Simon rather than the people she could secretly watch. Watching was good when alone but when you had company it was impolite.

Outfit

Sleep. All he had wanted was some sleep. Simon had been sneaking around late the night before and was dragging that day. Curled up in his hammock and wrapped in a dark blanket, Simon planned to give hibernation a shot. His head was buried in his pillow and wrapped in the warmth black shelter he made.

"Drinks you say?" He slurred as she roused him from his sleeping state. Shifting he pulled himself out of the hammock and dragged himself to the powder room to wash up. Being that he never took that long to begin with when it came to getting dressed up. His outfit was casual but classy. His shirt was a dark green, while his suit coat was black and his pants matched. Grabbing his best pair of boots, Simon cleaned them off and strung them up.

Raising a brow he looked at her, "Did you just tell me to come? What am I a dog?" Chuckling he smirked at her knowing it was close enough. Wolf, dog, they are practically the same thing. "Sure we can head on down to signature, ready when you are." He pulled her into his arms a bit, "You ready for a night of nonsense and shenanigains?"

They made their way into the village easy enough. Wrapped her arm with her's Simon was fine with the arm candy he was sporting. If anything the Russian he kept in his company made him look better by comparison.  Simon knew he wasn't a bad looking man, but when you had attractive women around you it tended to make you look that much better. She was easy on the eyes, and he was fond of her. So the company suited well.

Stepping in Simon looked around for all the people who were possible marks. However tonight they were out for fun not for work. Slipping into the booth next to her Simon grinned, "I'm thinking a frosty pint would do just fine for starters. How about love?"

Indeed drinks, though one thing Kyrene was pleased about was Simon’s lack of correcting her grammar for once. Maybe she had said it right? Kyrene was more focused on making sure her outfit was right before they left. A slight chuckle left her lips as he mentioned something about being a dog, “Well you are.” She poked fun at him; it was so easy especially when he starts it.

“Course me ready for night of…” Kyrene didn’t even attempt to say what he had said, “…what you say.” Kyren shrugged her shoulders not even sure how to wrap her mouth around the word shenanigans. Right now Kyrene didn’t care because she was snuggly in his arms as they entered the village and Signature. She was on the arm of a gorgeous man who she adored, what more did she need? Simon was her closest friend here in England and spending time with him was rather enjoyable and she felt like she had missed him lately.

“Me think do the same.” A frosty pint sounded nice, she could really go for a cold beer after her day. Her day had been great but tiring, as she had worked rather hard. She needed this moment of relaxation with her best mate. “You sleep all day?” She asked turning her focus onto Simon with a raised eyebrow. Honestly she wouldn’t blame him if he was cause he had been out late.

Rolling his eyes he had playfully nudged her. "So you like being around a dog like me? Flea bitten as I am..." Pulling on his collar a bit Simon tried to get comfortable.  If she could poke fun he was going to poke fun too. Even if he was technically in the canine family nowadays it was okay to joke with her back Simon let out a weak howl and whimpered playfully in her ear.

If she wanted to play he was going to play right back with her.

"Yes what I say," he stroked her arm softly as they sat together in the middle of the club. The sounds were flowing tastefully, nothing to dramatic and the mood was bordering on steamy. Several people who looked to be walking on the dark side. Simon liked the looks he was getting but tried to keep his head on a swivel so his attention would stay semi-focused on his partner for the evening.

When the waiter finally arrived he smiled, "Two pints... and keep them coming" with his trusty leather gloves he pulled some coins out and handed it to him. "Yes my dear I did sleep all day. What have you been doing all day other than poking me and shaking me from my dreamlike state." Simon made a circle on the back on her hand as he smiled at Ky in his usual manner.

“You not flea bitten dog you no need me,” she said looking at him and patted her eyes with a smirk on her lips. She laughed though as he howled following it up with a whimper in her ear. Kyrene felt a shiver run over her body at the whimper, why was that so sexy to her? She shoved the idea away and looked at him, tilting her head to the side a bit. Simon was a curious one.

Admittedly Kyrene was a little lost in the feeling of him stroking her arm to really notice. Yes it was just the feeling of his leather gloves over her skin but it was more contact than she had in a while. Yes she might wish it were his skin touching her but right now she wasn’t too picky. Her eyes darting over to the people around her in the club as she moved a little closer to her company.

“Mmmm,” she said as she thought about what she had done today. She looked at his hand as it drew circles on the back of her hand. She could easily be putty in his hands right now. “Business, client, stealing.” She figured that could classify her day even better than her broken English sentences.

It wasn't right of Simon to play with her like he did. Surely he knew her feelings, even if it was just a ball of tension at the moment. Simon figured when she started curling up beside him at night it was for more than just heat. It was when she tended to his wounds and she curled up with him afterward. "Guess you wouldn't sleep with me if you thought I had fleas."

Lifting her hand to his waiting lips he kissed her skin softly and continued to creep up her arm slightly before going back to his frosty pint leaving her warm skin to cool himself. Letting her hand down on the table he watched the people passing once more.

"Another day of non-stop action for you I suppose," His eyes glittered as they fell on a necklace on one of the richer people who wandered through the club. "Nice place, pity we don't find more time to go out together." It wasn't until Kyrene came into his life that Simon started going out more on the scene. If he had any reason, to go out before her he couldn't remember. He had mostly been drinking alone or with his mates in darker pubs.

Kyrene hated that he played with her the way he did, it always stuck up emotions in her even if that was an easy feat. Still the way he could warm her up but then be so cool in the next moment. She knew things would never lead anywhere but still it was driving her a little mad that he toyed with her the way he did. She enjoyed it too much to tell him to sod off though. It was an interesting feeling of annoyance and enjoying it, but Ky was going to focus on the enjoying it part.

“No would not,” she said coolly but her eyes focused on Simon as his hand lifted hers to his lips and she felt the soft skin of his lips touch on her pale hand. This act of affection sent shivers up Kyrene’s spine and some form of desire was over that she wished she could just wash away. Yes wash away with a sip of her pint. No the feeling was not going away because his lips were moving up her arm. A soft little noise escape before she could do much about it. When his lips left her for his pint she let out a sigh of relief or disappointment even Kyrene wasn't sure.

As his hand left her Kyrene breathed deep and reached for her own pint to drink it back in hopes to wash away those desires. “Then we make time,” she said flashing him a sweet smile over the top of her glass. “Week event?” She asked him curiously, if they could go out once a week it would be better then sitting in their home. Of course with money being an issue going out once a week could become pricey.

It wasn't that he just liked toying with her. The flirting was what they always did. She was so easy to play with, and he couldn't help it if he was talented when it came to drawing her into his charms. She had made it scary easy to do so. Just a little flirting and she would come undone. Almost too willing to be pulled into his ways and toyed with at the drop of a hat.

There were times where he considered it. Even initiated the two of them fooling about. However nothing came of it. Not yet. The future was a mystery and Simon preferred to walk on the wild side either way. Why plan your every move, What fun was that?

Simon had affection for Ky. It was the closest thing to love he knew since he never felt it growing up and family was were you were supposed to learn the feeling he assumed. Ky cared for him more in that brief period of time they were together than any of the Reid's had collectively throughout his whole life. It was a sad reality but it was his and he wasn't going to fight it. Finishing his pint quickly he paid for their round and bought another. They had a decent haul the night before, no need to be stingy.

Giving her a warm smile Simon let his hand fall on hers again, "A weekly event? I do like the sound of that. Can't always stay cooped up in that little hole we dwell in. Who knows maybe if we do better some weeks we can go to a ritzy place." Simon rather liked the look of Signature though it was upscale and not exactly somewhere he would usually be.

Kyrene couldn’t stop herself from inching a little close to him on the seat. She was always drawn to him, there was a reason she had followed him that night. She had watched him, kept a safe distance and was there to help him the next morning when he needed it most. Things could not go past the affectionate place they were, they could never be together. Ky wished this fact wasn’t true, but she didn’t want to screw things up.

Caring for Simon wasn’t easy; on the full moon night she normally gets little sleep worrying about Simon. She cared about Simon he was the one person in her life she could count on. That was the very reason nothing could go past the slight flirtation and fooling around they had done. Nothing could be serious between them without mucking everything up.

Kyrene smiled at Simon as he ordered them another round; leaning forward to finish off the one she had in a few gulps. She glanced over at Simon with a grin slipping over her features. Kyrene sat back rather close to Simon as his hand was moving over top of her own. “Yes, that the idea.” She grinned at him as she spoke. They could not stay in the hole of dwelling they shared as nice as it was just relax they needed to get out and do something.

“We could dance?” She questioned perhaps for next week to do some dancing together. Give Kyrene a reason to be up and close to Simon as their bodies moved together to music. Kyrene liked that idea as she dwelled on it for a moment.
