The Roof: Sunday night, well after dark

[anextimeagent.livejournal.com]

The Beast was crouched on the corner of the roof, looking out over Fandom.

Half hidden in the shadows and the night, he was brooding - dramatically - and also for some reason humming under his breath.

Two days, and his life had changed dramatically -- because of Samantha.

It was unexpected. It was inexplicable.

Without really noticing, his humming segued into song. (Because the power of Disney narrative can not be denied.)

She glanced this way, I thought I saw
And when we touched
She didn't shudder at my paw
No it can't be, I'll just ignore
But no one's ever looked at me that way before.

If he'd realised what he was singing, he'd likely be horrified.

[ooc: open, as roofs are, but you'll probably need to get his attention. Lyrics twisted slightly. ]

"That explains much about you. None of it good." Yes, that was an attempt at a sneer. Perhaps not a very good one, but it was the first he'd tried in a very long time. Such was the confidence, however shaky, that Samantha had imparted.

"And I care what you think why?" Lonnie asked, taking a drag of the cigarette and blowing the smoke in the Beast's direction.

He slashed an arm through the air and leapt lightly to the roof's surface, tail lashing in anger. "You were interested in me last night. You were interested in knowing everything about me, from what I recall."

She shrugged. "That was then. Besides, your little friend isn't around. There goes most of my fun."

"You will not speak to her that way again," he snarled, dropping to all fours in a movement that felt incredibly natural. "You aren't worthy to be in the same room as her."

Never let it be said that Lonnie didn't have a sense of self preservation. She crushed the cigarette out and flicked it over the side of the building before getting to her feet. "Then you tell her not to come bangin' on my door at the crack of dawn."

"I don't believe that anyone would come willingly to your door, so I doubt it will become an issue." He watched her with an intensely focussed gazed, tail lashing the air, just waiting for her to say one wrong thing about Samantha.

"At this rate you might be more right then you know," she muttered. Keeping a wary eye on him, she started towards the door.

He stayed where he was, unblinking eyes locked on her, starting to relax as she retreated.
