Born to Be Wild

[Quinn]

"Either one is fine with me. You know me, I'm not too picky. Neither of them are too classy for me, are they? I know I'm not exactly dressed all that well..." She pointed to her tight tank top and blue jeans. "I can't wear them wizard clothes, they look stupid on me."

[Korbel]

"Let's go to the other place, I haven't been there. I'm actually get tired of eating at the Three Broomsticks," said Korbel. "I don't really care what other people wear to get in there, we can just wear this. It looks fine to me."

[Quinn]

"OK, that sounds good," Quinn said, dropping a couple of coins on the bar. "Let's go there. Just lead the way. I still don't know my way around here yet."

[Korbel]

Korbel shot her a smile. "But I have a feeling you will within the next day or two," he said. He held the door open for her as they left. "There's not much here to get lost in, well, except if you go through the houses. You could get lost that way."

[Quinn]

"Yeah, I'm sure I'll figure things out soon enough," Quinn agreed, following him outside. "I'm kinda eager to go prowling, if you know what I mean. I want to see what the guys around here are like. There's got to be better than that Logan guy, don't you think? Someone who can have a little fun?"

[Korbel]

Korbel shrugged. "You know me, I don't go after guys," he said with a laugh. "I couldn't tell you, you'll just have to find that one out on your own."

[Quinn]

Quinn laughed. "Yeah, I know... although, you don't usually pay much attention to people in general. Me... I love hanging out with humans. Usually, they're so uptight, and they get stressed over stupid things like jobs or money. It's kind of funny, really, like they've forgotten what's really important."

[Korbel]

"Yeah, I guess," said Korbel. "I don't really have anything against them, I just don't really like to come in contact with them. They look at me like I'm some strange person."

[Quinn]

"Yeah, you gotta learn how to blend in," Quinn said. "Or you could do what I do--stand out as much as possible." She laughed. "All I know is, whenever I walk in a place, all the guys start staring. So I give them something to stare at. I like the attention."

[Korbel]

"Of course you do," said Korbel with a smile. "I don't care for the attention that much. I don't like people just staring at me. It just makes me feel weird to have people just watching me."

[Quinn]

Quinn touched his cheek. "Well, you know, babe, you're pretty easy on the eyes, so you ought to get used to some people looking at you. Mainly girl people, if you know what I mean. But I guess if guys are looking at you, you might not be too crazy about that. But don't worry, cause when you're with me, trust me... no one's gonna be looking at you." She giggled.

[Korbel]

Korbel laughed. "Of course no one will look at me if I'm with you, because they'll be looking at you, wanting to come after you, because we're together," he said with a smile. "But I wouldn't let them come after you."

[Quinn]

"Hey, you don't have to protect me," Quinn replied. "You know I can take care of myself. Remember how it took 5 of them ministry workers to hold me down and drag me out of that club? Besides, if a hot guy comes by, I might just have to ditch you." She laughed again and punched him playfully in the arm. "Nah, I'm just kidding. I wouldn't ditch you. You're my best friend, what's more important than that? I might arrange to meet him later, though..."

[Korbel]

Korbel laughed again. "Well, you're my best friend, and I have too. It's my job to do it when I'm with you. But you go ahead and arrange a meeting later with what's his name. I don't care," he said. "But then again, even if I did care, knowing you, you'd do it anyway." Korbel gave her a smile.

[Quinn]

Quinn leaned over and kissed him on the cheek. "You know, you're gonna make some girl really lucky one day. You pretend to be the tough, loner type, but you're not. I know you better than that."

[Korbel]

Korbel raised an eyebrow. "I don't need a girl," said Korbel. "I'm quite fine on my own. It's what I'm used to. What makes you think differently?"

[Quinn]

Quinn looked at him seriously. "Because you're just too good of a guy to go to waste, babe. In fact, I may just have to take you for myself. Wouldn't we be a great pair?" She laughed, but suddenly the idea didn't seem so funny. She could almost picture it... "Hey, uh, is this the place?" she said, changing the subject abruptly. She pointed at a restaurant up ahead.

[Korbel]

"That's only because you've known me since forever," said Korbel. He smiled, but let it fade away as she changed the subject. "Yeah, this is the place," he said. Korbel held open the door for her. "After you." He followed her in. The place wasn't too crowded. A few people look towards them, but Korbel stared back, and they looked away. He found an empty table away from just about everyone else.

[Quinn]

Quinn sat down and looked around the place. It was small and softly lit with warm, friendly lighting and a fireplace burning in the corner. The people inside were all sitting around, talking quietly to each other and eating. "Hmmm, cute," she said. "It seems so... normal." This was the sort of place people brought dates, but not where they went to meet people. "Not exactly my type of place, but I bet the food is good."

[Korbel]

Korbel shrugged. "It's not my kind of place either," he said looking around. "But from what I've heard from people talking, it's pretty good. Humans like to make their stuff all neat and nice. I feel like I should have on something different."
