OTA

He liked spring. There was still a chill to the air most days at the moment, but you could see nature slowly waking from its slumber, even here in the heart of the city.  It brought the wolf inside him nothing but joy, and left him with an itch to be outside in the sunlight, roaming and exploring. He'd have to plan a trip to the country soon, somewhere he could really roam wild...

For now, however, a jog through the park would have to do.

Dressed in running shorts and a t-shirt, Valentine alternated between jogging and sprinting. Moving slower where there were crowds, then taking off at top speed along empty stretches of the path, the man didn't stop until his heart was pounding hard and he knew he needed a break. Slowing to a stop, he stretched out and caught his breath, before drinking from the water bottle that he had strapped to his hip.

"Sorry, didn't mean to stop in the centre of the path," he said, stepping out the way when he realised someone was attempting to get past him.

"Mmm, yes, my cousin's business actually. She owns a shop near covenant garden," he explained. "It's the only tea I drink now, when I'm home."

"That's brilliant. I just buy, well, cheap tea," he chuckled. "I like jasmine tea, that's about as adventurous as I get."

"You should go see her shop sometime. If you tell her you're a friend of mine, I'm sure she'd give you a discount," Val smiled, sipping his tea, then casually moving closer to Hex.

Hex took a sip and then set his cup down. Val got closer and Hex leaned in, resting his hand on the man's knee.

"Maybe I'll do that," he said, his hand rising from Val's leg to his face.

Val leaned into the touch, always eager for attention.

"Do you want a tour of the rest of the house?" he offered.

[just_hex]

"I'd like that," he nodded, moving to get up. "Maybe we could start upstairs?"

[hollow_moon]

"Oh? Perhaps in my bedroom?" Val suggested with a flirty grin.

[just_hex]

"That's what I was thinking," he grinned, his tongue flicking out to wet his lips. "That's the point of being here, yeah?"

[hollow_moon]

"Not the whole point... But yes, a bit," Val admitted with a grin, nodding for Hex to follow as he left the tea on the table and led the way upstairs.
