[color=90c0ce]Setting:[/color] 11:10 AM, Ricky's[/i][/right][hr]
Alphard oohed and aahed while Kelly showed off the truck's interior. 

Kelly’s last words before he started the engine brought out a weak, [color=87ceeb]“Um, we don’t need to catch anyone [i]right now[/i]…do we?”[/color] but his protest was drowned out as the car roared on.

He asked about this and that about Kelly’s truck during the ride, then simply luxuriated in the high-end car seat. It was so large, it almost swallowed him, but was still firm enough to provide good support for the back. The drive was longer than expected, and as conversation between the two petered out, Al turned to watch the scenery pass by. However, every once in a while, he couldn’t help but sneak a peak at Kelly. While they’d been on the way to the car, the man had casually grabbed him by the shirt to get him out of the way of a lady Al hadn’t seen. He’d stuttered a vague agreement back then, then got distracted by the whole new car situation. He had time to think about it [i]now[/i], though. 

Kelly and he had been [i]so close[/i] he’d seen the canid’s golden flecked irises. He hadn’t ever realized before those were there. He smelled a heady mix of masculine, cologne, and a hint of dog – Al hadn’t even minded that last one. He’d been so close, the demon had felt the gust of his breath, the heat emanating from his fingers warming his chest through the fabric of his shirt. He swore the phantom memory of that sensation still lingered. Groaning, Alphard tapped his cheek several times with enough force to snap himself out of it. It was just too damn embarrassing. Thankfully, they had just arrived at their destination, so he was able to switch to thinking about work, and work only.

Kelly had driven them to a rundown bar, and Al trailed behind as the canine man led the way inside. He stared at the two occupants, the man who was surely their target, and the unfamiliar demon. As the human spoke, Alphard raised his hands slowly in the universal sign for peace. He did not dare approach the bar quite yet, and remained standing where he was while tensions were ran so high. Gaze nervously fliting from Kelly to the Kurodoji heir, he spoke first. [color=87ceeb]“Er. We were just curious…if you heard about what happened?”[/color] He had purposefully phrased the question vaguely. Despite his anxiety, he carefully observed both the human and the demon, curious how they might react.
