The two of them had simply fallen to the rhythym, enjoying their walk with Elsa's hands wrapped around his left arm, her body pressing against his as they continued on, a gentle smile on both of their faces. The scene was far from idyllic or romantic, but neither of them truly cared of that. Besides the architechture around here was far from ugly, although they were a far cry from the gothic structeres in Europe. What of them remained standing still."We're here." Phillip's head turned from the sky towards Elsa, his mind puzzled for a moment until he noticed the entrance to the bar. His thought had been too occupied with those memories and with Elsa's presence to even notice it. Laughing gently Phillip stopped with Elsa."I can skip it." His tone was soft as he stared at the entrance. "If you wish to continue walking." Elsa shooked her head slightly, still smiling, as she untangled her arms from Phillip's and begun to adjust his shirt and coat to the better."This is important to you." Her tone was warm as she straightened the shoulders of the coat. "Besides I told Mary we wouldn't be gone for that long." They stood there for a moment, staring at each other, until Elsa leaned forward slightly to plant a kiss on Phillip's lips."There will be other nights." Phillip sounded almost regretful."And days too." Stepping back, Elsa inspected Phillip one last time, then shoved her hands to the pockets of her coat. "Go and enjoy yourself. I'll see you home." Phillip sighed to Elsa's amusement, then watched her walk away, waving her arm at him a few steps away. Finally he turned around and made his way in to the bar, leaning on his ebony cane at each step.-----------------------------------"I heard of the student as well." Phillip took another drink from his glass of water. "Dennis joked that his assistant had to a lot of bathroom breaks when they were inspecting the body. Still rather new to the job, it would seem." He shook his head almost disapprovingly as he set the glass back to the table. "They're figuring it was a bomb of some sorts, who knows what they're experimenting with at that university of theirs. Dennis tried to get me to have a look at it, to help try to figure out what happened to it. Thought I might have seen something similar before." The cane was on his lap as he once again adjusted his right leg to better suit sitting."I suspect there's very little arcane with the student's death, a simple case of curiosity once again running ahead of caution. Of the cars, I had not heard of either. Did not know something without spirit could actually haunt." His tone was slightly amused during the last sentence.</blockquote>
