Splashing made its way to his ears and Aiden looked over to watch Eva get out. He debated staying in the water for a moment or two longer, and then moved to exit the river as well. He shook his head again, trying to get as much water out of it as he could before wrapping his arms around the shivering blond. In retrospect, he should have taken off his sweatshirt, it was heavy when wet and it wouldn't do much good as a way to keep either of them warm.

Eva blinked when he put his arms around her, though she didn't try to move. Despite it not being very cozy or warm, she actually liked it. It had been a while since someone had held her. She put her arms around him in return, not really caring if she ended up getting a cold for this later on.

Aiden hoped the body heat would help warm things up soon, but it might take a little while. "...C'mon," he said after a moment. "Let's go, it's getting dark." And he really didn't want to get chewed out for being out late by Locke... especially since he hadn't told her where he was going... or left a note...
Actually, he had a feeling he'd be staying at the HQ for awhile.

Eva nodded. "Yeah." she muttered, beginning to walk back to where they were originally going. Instead of holding his hand however, she kept an arm around him. Strange, she normally wasn't so clingy(at least when sober anyway). She just didn't feel like letting go just yet.

Aiden returned the gesture. It was a little odd of Eva, but he didn't really mind it. It was cold out anyway, and besides, it was nice. There was a warm glow building in his chest that he didn't really want to try and squash.

After a bit of content silence Eva spoke. "So, are you hanging out at HQ or did ya find a place to stay?" she asked him, kind of curious. Considering how that albino from the hospital had been talking to him she almost sounded like his mother in a way.

Aiden shrugged. "I've been staying with Locke, she's alright I guess... Though she kind of acts like I'm... unstable? Something like that." Maybe it was just a psychiatrist thing, but there was nothing sharp in his room. She was studying psychology at college, so who knew? "I'm gonna try the HQ tonight though, see how that is." If he was right, Madoka stayed there, so it couldn't be all that bad.

Eva nodded, not wanting to comment on the 'unstable' part. She guessed in a way he was, considering that beating she took from him earlier, but she didn't want to say anything about it. "I see." she said.
Before she knew it they were out of the forest and she was starting to hear the sounds of the city not too far off. "Well, guess since I can't go to Ookami headquarters an' all, I'd better be goin'." she didn't sound too thrilled about it though, and she didn't even try to grin or anything. She just didn't want to leave him yet...

Aiden's face fell a little as he realized how close they were to the city. He didn't want to part ways (even for just a little while) just yet. "Yeah..." Then the chivalry hit... sort of. "Although... it is pretty late... and who knows what sort of creeps are out and about..." He trailed off, deciding to let Eva make what she would out of that.

Eva blinked a couple of times before turning back to him. "That's right." she sighed. "If only there was someone brave enough to defend me from all those creeps." she said before grinning again.

Aiden grinned and gave an exaggerated bow. "Please, ma'am, allow me to escort you." He glanced up and winked. "Couldn't let anyone harm my pimp, after all." They had never really resolved the whole 'bitch' thing, but he didn't mind it too much right now.

Eva laughed, grinning a little more. "Then come on, Bitch." she said, holding her hand out while trying not to laugh too much. "Let's go."

Aiden stood back up and took her hand, grinning. "After you, you think I have any clue where you live?"

Eva laughed a little more before remembering the only house she crashed at these days was...
Hotaru's. Crap.
Then again, she was pretty sure Hotaru would be asleep by the time they finally arrived. At least she hoped she would, and maybe just to be safe she'd stop them just when they got to the street instead of walking to the house. Yeah, she'd do that, she didn't wanna take a chance on Aiden seeing Hotaru and possibly flipping out again.
With that decided, Eva looked back at Aiden and shrugged. "I dunno, you could be stalking me." she grinned. "I wouldn't blame you if ya did though, I know I'm hot."

Aiden laughed. "Good to know you're modest." He said sarcastically, letting the blond take the lead. He'd have to ask around to find the Ookami HQ once he dropped Eva off, but it couldn't take that long to find it. If worst came to worst than he'd just head deep into Ookami territory and look for the most official looking building he could find.
