Christian glanced at the passenger seat before checking his watch, watching the many hands shift. [color=#B0E0E6]”I should go and follow through with some of my duties for a couple of hours at least. My suggestion would be to find someplace local or within the state to set up camp for now. That way, we can train until you feel comfortable taking on a case.”[/color] Christian leaned away from the truck and took several steps back.

[color=#B0E0E6]”I’ll come find you then. Perhaps I’ll have a present,”[/color] Christian said, grinning before he teleported from the space. 

While Christian eased himself into the familiar work of reaping souls, he grew calmer. The clarity allowed him to think more assuredly about his relationship with Penny. He thoroughly enjoyed her company and the adventure she wanted him to participate in. It was everything Christian had yearned for while watching humans from between worlds.

It had felt good to use his hands, and rewarding to accomplish tasks that seemed medial. Not to mention the praise he received from Penny upon completing the work. At the thought of Penny, Christian’s mind drifted to the hotel room. His fingertips tingled from the memory of touching her skin, and he found himself searching for her in his mind, wondering if she had found a campground and what she was doing. As his awareness of Penny grew, he realized what he was doing and snapped himself back to the present moment, where he watched a soul cross over to the other side.

[color=#B0E0E6]”Concentrate, Christian,”[/color] he berated himself and ran a hand over his head before smoothing down his jacket. Once he felt settled, Christian continued with his work. 

A few hours after Christian left Penny, he reached out again until he found her. He had cleaned up from earlier and [url=https://i.pinimg.com/736x/76/82/13/76821345f5922615668159a3a72df9c1.jpg]changed[/url] into something a bit more relaxed and comfortable. Something he could easily move in to help train Penny and help around the campground. 

Rather than teleport nearby and announce himself to Penny, Christian decided to surprise her this time and appeared just behind her. [color=#B0E0E6]”Do you want your surprise now, or later?”[/color] Christian asked, a smile and a glint in his eyes. 

The same calm he felt after returning to work surrounded him now that he was in Penny’s presence again. It was strange how he felt similarly in two different situations, but it made him smile all the more.
