The Problem With Birds

As the pair interacted, a strange feeling came over Iolaire. Something clicked within her. She honestly liked the man. It was surprising. Damn near everyone in her life that she'd met thus far, she'd merely tolerated. Suffice to say, she was very short on friends. So short that they didn't even exist. Friends or family. She had a mother out there somewhere, but they didn't even like each other. Nope. Io was all alone. It was fine with her. She didn't really mind. However, Now that the prospect of a potential friend was before her, she found herself with a mighty desire. Strange.

That like grew as he stated that he wouldn't force her to stand on ceremony. A relief. She wouldn't have anyway, but it was good that he wouldn't hold her to it. And then he leaned towards her, a curious look crossing his stripey face. Iolaire found herself leaning in as well. Anyone that happened upon them would think they were up to no good. Maybe they were. He asked if she was good with subtlety and she merely nodded. She was good at loads of things. He then explained what he had in mind for her. Initially, Iolaire's mind balked. She didn't want to be a nursemaid. But, when she took a second thought, she found that she didn't really mind. Not only would it be a favor to him, but she doubted Sirius would choose a woman that was girlish and annoying. "For you, I'll give it a shot. I'm not the easiest for people to take a liking to. If she and I mesh, I'll gladly be her companion and secret guard." Io grinned. "I believe we have a deal."
