just take it in stride

@"ReD"

Aisling only replied with a giggle. It was a short and soft one but the sound of her laugh was haunting enough to send chills down one's spine. If ever Aisling wants to break any more rules, she was't going to answer to anyone. And he was right; she never really took no for an answer. No had gotten away from her with that.

But she had some respect to a balance between worlds. A fae like her needs to keep herself from abusing her own power.

But then that had nothing to do with getting too close to a person simply out of interest. It had been centuries since something of the sort happened. Maybe she could waste some of her time. She had all of eternity anyway.

Yes,” Lochlann admitted. ”And no. I’m used to having other people get that feeling around me. To experience it myself is honestly kind of refreshing. It’s invigorating. I would like to get to know you, Aisling.”

"I do hope you know what you're saying," she said before removing the cloth-wrapped object from Scaith's saddle harness. "Daredevils say similar things and not all of them end alive." Aisling mounted the horse almost effortlessly, with the ball of cloth in an arm.

”Break the rules with me. Let me take you to dinner.”

Aisling let out another chuckle, louder than the last. "Persistent, very persistent. Alright, I'll indulge you with your wish. What's your plan?" The tone of her voice made her sound very confident, if not superior to him.

Aisling was full of chuckles that night. It was a nice change of pace and she only welcomed it because she was starting to think life was getting a bit dull. "Lochlann, darling, I'd rather you surprise me where we'd go," she said sweetly. "I like a man with a plan and some secrets to go with it." What was a night without a little suspense, after all. What's the worse that can happen?

Well, other than Scaith behaving restlessly and lightly tapping his hooves on the cobblestone. It made no sound to most people, but it was just as audible as any other horse's hooves on concrete for Aisling. She lightly patted him to keep him calm but she knew she'd have to go without him and she was sure Scaith was aware of her own plan.

"I'll leave the when and where to you, dear Lochlann. Surprise me," she said.

@"ReD"

"That won't be a problem," Aisling said, pulling out a black card from her sleeve and letting it flutter out of her grasp.

"I suppose I'll see you then." With that, Aisling tugged on the reins lightly. Scaith reared with a haunting whinny that echoed eerily through the empty street before bolting into a swift, soundless gallop down the concrete path. The black card flew to Lochlann which looked nothing but an empty card. Moonlight shone on it revealing a silver insignia of Sleepy Hollow.
