I own nothing... obviously.
All mistakes are mine.
First post... just a short drabble. Finally worked up the courage to put something up (however short)
Magnus wasn't in her office. Will looked on the rooftop, her lab even the autopsy suite before he found her. She was standing with her hand placed upon the glass tank of "Sally" the Sanctuary's resident mermaid. Sally nodded in greeting to Will as he approached; Magnus on the other hand did not react at all. Will stood shifting his weight uncomfortably for a few minutes until Sally nodded again before swimming away. Only then did Helen remove her hand from the tank and acknowledge Will's presence.
"How's Sally?" he asked. Helen smiled at the use of the name but said nothing knowing she had lost that battle already.
"She complained that you have been avoiding her since your visit into her tank last week," she replied with a smirk. Helen let him redden slightly under her gaze before changing the subject and turning to look into Sally's tank. "Were you after something?"
"Ah, yes just wanted to let you know that the date for the departure of the last residents from the Tokyo Sanctuary has been moved back a week," pausing slightly he added, "again." She smiled at his last remark but remained silent, keeping her gaze fixed on the tank.
Will stood watching her, hair pushed behind her ear he noticed her pearl earrings. His eyes fell lower down her neck to the beaded necklace around her neck.
TBC?
