Riley walked around outside. He was a little bord with his domestic life and needed to get out. Ana was being so depressed about her uncle. It was making Riley annoyed so he had to get out before he did something he would regret.
Riley turned a corner and then went over to a near by bench and looked out over every where. The wind was blowing into his face and through his hair. He tilted his head back and let his senses be over whelmed by everything around him. His stress was draining away and Riley felt slightly more normal again
 
Adrianne wandered about Obsidian Harbour, her eyes unfocussed.
She had managed to convince Ioan to keep an eye on Lorin while she went out for a walk- she just needed to escape the call of motherhood for a while. It was such a strain.
Adrianne sat down upon a nearby bench and rubbed her hands over her pale face, briefly bringing colour to her cheeks.
She then noticed the man beside her and gave him a small, false smile. She was so tired from her son but at least he had been raised correctly. It looked as if he wasn't feeling great either but at least he seemed to be coping.
"Why so glum when the world is full of opportunities?" She said, the wind blowing about her neck, her fine blonde hair.
She was not a cheerful person and nor did she intend to help but it would seem wrong not to speak.
 
Riley looked to his side to see a woman who had sat next to him. If it had been a guy that had sat next to him when he was in this mood then he would not have been this nice but luckily it was a girl. He returned to smile slightly followed by a sarcastic laugh. " I could say the same for you. You look like a bucket of fun. Anyway i have too much on my mind for the world at the moment. So why are you so glum." He stuck his head in his hands as he looked at her. There seemed to be something about her that Riley couldnt put his finger on. Although his mind was scrambled right now with everything going on that he wouldnt have spotted anything.
 
Usually she would have been annoyed by the fact this boy had just turned the question round.
Adrianne, instead, decided to reply. "Well, I've been taking care of a young son alone and working many shifts at St Mungo's.. That could have something to do with it." She said in a mocking tone.
Her eyes were dark red, staring straight at this boy. "You're too young to have real problems." She said coldly.
Adrianne recognised this boy but she couldn't place the face.
 
Riley laughed coldly and ran his hand through his hair before speaking to her. " Well your reason is ok i suppose but wait till you hear mine. My brother died not to long ago, as did my mother. My girl friend was pregnant and she went into labour 6 weeks early. The baby was put on life support he minute it was out then once the doctors back was turned she was stolen, so my daughter has also died. Then to top it all off. My girl friends uncle just died so her and her own familoy are grieving for him." He sighed then looked at her. " Am i still too young to have propper problems?"
 
Adrianne listened to the boys words. "Don't you have any 'mates' to hang around with?" Adrianne asked, wondering why she was bothering to get so involved in somebody else's problems. "Aren't there other wizards your age that you can go drinking with? - That's what my Ioan- my boyfriend does when he has trouble." Her mind drifted briefly to Ioan. He was probably still sleeping around but Adrianne had given up caring; Lorin was the most important being in her life now.
As long as this boy wasn't filth, she would buy him a drink sometime and they could share all their problems.
Whether either would listen to the other's problems was a different matter.
 
Riley shook his head. " I do yeah but theres no point they are all busy. Well the decent ones are anyway. One is sorting out his marriage, the other is with a girl that he fancies. And the rest are not important at the moment." He sighed. It seemed that all of his friends lives were happy and going well then there was his rubbish life that was going wrong in every direction.
 
"I'll buy you a drink sometime." Adrianne said, the wind beginning to make her face sore as it bit icily at her cheeks.
"In the mean time, you need to find a group to join or something.."
She wasn't going to give away her cover even if she could possibly recruit another death eater.
"There are loads of groups about.. Sometimes they meet in the leaky cauldron- Hang about there for a while and listen to other people's conversations.. Or if you're looking for something darker," Adrianne added, meeting the boy's eye for only a moment, "I suggest a visit to the Poison Ater."
 
Riley looked at her puzzled for a second then realised what she had said. He woundered if she was in a group. Riley had considered something like that but he never really got around to it. " I suppose so, but im not ready for anything like that yet. I mean its not that i dont have my dark side because believe me i do, you should ask that guy that ended up six fe-" Riley cut off from talking as he feared he had said to much. He sighed. " Can we get that drink a little earlyier if i buy them?"
 
At the mention of this boy having a dark side, Adrianne smiled a little darkly. "Sure." She replied, almost flirtatiously. "But have me home by midnight." She winked at him. Her mind floated to Ioan and Lorin. Ah, they'd be fine without her for a few hours.
Adrianne offered her hand to the man. "I'm Adrianne Sedgwick, by the way, and you are--?"
 
Riley smiled slightly at the woman. He stood up and took her hand. " Im Riley Smith." He looked around for the nearest pub. He turned around and looked at one, it didn't look amazing but it wasn't really as if he cared much as long as he was drinking. " How about that place. I don't no how good it is though." He looked at her over his shoulder with his constantly cold dark eyes
 
"Perfect." Adrianne said, standing up and smiling at him, her blood red eyes darkening.
She looked towards the pub. "Shall we?"
 
Riley smiled crookedly and nodded. " Ok then." He began to walk towards the pub before holding the door for her. Evil or not he was always a gentleman. " Ladies first and all." He chuckled but only very slightly
