“Ooooh, flattery will get you everywhere, boyo,” Summer grinned, shaking a finger at him. “Keep that up and I’ll just keep you right here at home with me.” Her tone was light, teasing, and then she smacked herself on the forehead. “What am I doing? We were going to walk! I’m so stupid sometimes.” 

“Ah, but honesty does not often share a name with flattery, dear Summer.” He jumped slightly when she harmed herself, a frown showing his displeasure that she would lay hand on her own skin in such a way. “Do you still wish to walk?” He asked. Either way he wouldn’t mind. He was just eager to watch the evening with his friend unfold.

“I really do like to walk when I can. I don’t have to worry about finding parking, or what I drink.” Stepping beside Fenrir, Summer looked up at his bold profile. A little shyly, she said, “You really are a genuinely nice guy, Fen,” and slipped an arm around his waist for a swift hug. Then she was half-skipping ahead, leading the way up the sidewalk.

He smiled. “Thank you. As you are a very pleasant woman to be around.” A little stunted, he awkwardly returned the hug—or at least tried to—before she skirted ahead, leaving him to follow. The air, although laced with pollutants that he could feel in his lungs, was pleasant. It was not overwhelmingly cold, nor was it too hot. It was perfect. Or as close to perfection as Midgard could get.

“Where did you say we were going?” He inquired, more trying to reignite their conversation rather than actually seeking an answer.

“It’s called Michelangelo’s. Great Italian place. It’s really small, but a lot of places in New York are. With so many people here, space is really at a premium.” Summer made an effort to keep her distance, physically, from Fenrir, after that hug. Had it really been that long? Surely she was not that starved for touch.

Better safe than sorry.
