124 Howls: Loss and Hugs

[coyote_walking]

Derek's gone too now. This is getting... really hard to cope with.

I've got a bunch of errands to run and later I think I might go for a run. A real one.



[Feel free to run into and hug Mercy anywhere throughout the City or at the magic shop. Or, if you'd like to run into a coyote in the woods later, just put that in your tag.]

As far as greetings go, it's got my approval.

[ He finally manages to prise his arms from around her and take a step back. ]

It's a pleasure, Mercedes. Clint Barton.

I suppose as icebreakers go, it's not bad.

[She took a step back herself and smiled at him.]

Nice to meet you, Clint. Welcome to the City?

[bettercallit]

Had worse.

[ He offers a smile, then, that stretches into something close to a grin. ]

Everyone's so welcoming. It's different.

[coyote_walking]

[Mercy laughed.]

I'm afraid most of us are cursed today.

We're usually welcoming, but not generally so huggy.

[bettercallit]

I'm figuring that out.

[ He shrugs. ] Not complaining, though. It beats the usual welcome wagon.

[coyote_walking]

So where and when are you from? I'm guessing you've already figured out that there are people from, well... everywhere and everywhen.

[bettercallit]

It's not my first encounter with beings from another place or time if that's anything to go by.

[coyote_walking]

It was certainly mine. Though it wasn't my first experience with magic or supernatural beings.

Hey look... have you found a place to stay?

If not I live in this big empty house - about eight empty bedrooms at the moment.
