Making deliveries to the Underground at night was never ideal, but the pay was usually pretty decent. Aloysius was dropping off some kind of elixir for a local bar, and it was all going without a hitch. After a few moments of brief friendly small talk with the owner while he signed off on the delivery, and the shifter was on his way. He was heading back the way he came when he found himself being followed.

He frowned as he turned to see a pair of large lycans fully transformed and looking to fight. He probably wasn't going to be able to just escape by running. These were the annoying kind of thugs that you couldn't toss a wallet at, they wanted blood. His animal instincts screamed fight. Yeah he could take them, he was savage enough to fight them both, opting to keep his shifting to a minimum, he eased into a fighting stance and led the pair into an alley.

The fight escalated to its crescendo as all manner of roars and snarls could be heard from the alleyway until the victor emerged. He simply stepped out, pulling out his phone before slumping against the wall of the nearest building. Bloody, bruised up, with torn clothes and possibly a couple cracked ribs he called an ambulance for the lycans who arguably needed it more. That was when he caught a glimpse of something moving his way, he sighed praying this one would at least be a friendlier sort.

Wandering around the Underground at night checking out different parties and assorted booze-related places was great. She hadn't had any bites worth a beating yet, but she had spooked two creeps off their targets before they could go anywhere. That wasn't too bad.

The last place she'd been at had just been shut down for an over-the-top fight, but she'd managed to pick up an 'escort home' that sounded like it would probably turn out to be quite different. Another girl was angry at her for taking the space, but it would turn out much better for the probable-creep's target to be immortal.

It had been a decent plan, but she wasn't completely sure even she'd survive being literally eaten. Now she was on the run, the freshly transformed what-the-**** falling behind, and sleepy cop sirens seemed to be rising up to meet her. She wasn't going to stick around and wait, though; no, she just made sure the fae-eater was going to run into the cops and then flew around a corner.

And ran into someone else while looking over her shoulder instead of watching where she was flying. Fortunately for the new stranger, a five foot-tall pixie flying full-bore didn't pack much punch, and Avareis was so undead she was still alive.

"OOPH." Very eloquent. It was kinda funny how eloquent that was. "Oh, sorry sorry sorry, I wasn't looking where I was going." She flitted back a bit and straightened her rather revealing and very showy dress and dabbed at the sweat that threatened her whatever-colour-the-viewer-wants makeup. "Are you okay? -Oh"

She was pretty familiar with the signs of crawling out of a fight. "You don't look okay, is there someone still nearby for me to beat up for you?"

Even hovering, wings blurred into a rainbow-soap-bubble haze, Avareis did not look very threatening.

Aloysius blinked in mild confusion. It wasn't every day an attractive female bumps into you and asks if you need help beating someone up. She was all dressed up like she had places to be with that sexy little dress and....what color was that? He was too out of it to tell. He started to laugh ending in an "ow" it really hurt to laugh. She wasn't very intimidating that was for sure, but he knew the island better than that. "Where were you like ten minutes ago? Party's over, nearly slashed the one guy's hand off," he gestured to the alleyway where the two lycans who had probably reverted lay unconscious, maimed, and bloody though their bodies were slowly repairing themselves.

"Besides how do you know I'm not the bad guy in this situation? I might've gotten too handsy with the one guy's sister so they took me out to rough me up and lost. And you're dressed way too nice to be scrapping with low lives," he collected himself and struggled to his feet, leaning up against the building for support. It would be a long walk but he could make it back home and patch himself up. Maybe not, the adrenaline was probably finally wearing out. "Tonight is clearly not my night."

"Ten minutes ago I was dealing with my own idiot," Avareis replied sweetly. She floated a little closer to peer into the indicated alley. Oooh, messy, though not lethal. She drifted backwards so that the beat-up stranger could see her rather eerie, fully self-confident smile.

"If you'd been getting handsy with someone who didn't appreciate it, a couple of furballs would be the least of your worries," she said, ever so sweetly and innocently. Messing with pervs was, after all, her hobby. "How do you know that I don't dress up specifically to scrap with lowlives?" Since she really did, just with the equal perk of partying.

Still, he didn't seem to be too bad a sort, so she dropped down to the ground and offered her arm. "Come on. I may not be a seven foot mountain of muscle but I can still give you a hand before you fall over. Trying to get anywhere in particular?"

He hated having the need for help, but this girl was also offering. There was no rational reason to turn her down. She seemed genuine too, not overly friendly or fake so the offer to help was probably legit. He inhaled, wincing slightly and exhaled. "Fine, I just need a place where I can patch myself up and sleep this off," he said after a moment of thought.

He had no idea where "someplace" was but he always carried some potent healing cream in case of situations like this. The only problem was he needed a place to wait for it to catalyze and start healing him. Honestly any shitty motel would be fine for it. He locked his arm in hers, leaning against her but trying not to put all his weight on her. "Well, I wasn't expecting the help. You definitely didn't have to do it," he grunted, taking a couple steps.

"What I'm trying to say is thanks, I owe you one."

"Just a place? I can help with that; I don't live too far from here. Just in case you get any funny ideas, though, I'll survive any idiotic things you try to pull and lead the cops right to you." She winked, going more for transparency than any actual threat. She'd made up her mind.

"My couch is also enchanted against stains, so don't worry about getting blood on it." Not the sort of stain it was usually at risk of picking up, but close enough. It was a multi-purpose enchantment.

Now she just had to think of some delightful silly way of getting him to repay her. Eh, they'd work something out once he wasn't so beat up.

"So, tough guy, you got a name? I'm Avareis. Might be pronounced kinda like the sin but it's not spelled the same. Also really not in line with greed at all. Kinda funny, the coincidence."

"Please, I'm in no condition to try anything funny even if I wanted to. You'd better not try anything either because people would notice if I went missing," he groaned but smirked. He home was probably better than some sketchy cheap hotel or somewhere. That said did she have to mention couch stains? Even if he did happen to have the same kind of furniture throughout his own home. it was just one of those things most people wouldn't mention.

He figured they could discuss repayment when his hurties weren't as prevalent. That said she was a fairy, she'd probably want something weird or mildly embarrassing.

"My name's Aloysius, my family's got a thing for weird names like that. Everyone just calls me Alo though," he replied. There was no need to bring up his irritatingly high society status.

"Eh, if you aren't a creep then the worst I'll try to pull is a makeout session or something. Don't worry though, I can wait until you aren't bleeding."

That was... mostly a joke. Hey, if he wanted to try to take her up on in, she probably wouldn't argue much. He was hardly ugly. Aloysius. "I can see why you just use Alo," she said cheerfully, navigating them with more than a little skill towards her home. "Aloysius is pretty cool, though. Is it a traditional name or were your parents feeling creative? My name is one hundred percent creativity, unfortunately. Still have no clue what they were thinking, really, but eh. It works for me."
