As Watts started chattering, Emily found she couldn't help her smile in return. The way the other officer rambled wasn't nearly as off-putting as she seemed to fear--in fact, Emily found it somewhat comforting that someone else could be as socially awkward as she often felt--but she didn't try and reassure her with words. Instead, she tilted her head down the sidewalk, warmly inviting her along for the walk downtown.
“I'm doing well,” she sighed, sharing Watts' weariness. They worked long, often thankless hours, but these breaks were certainly refreshing. “Interesting about covers it. Sounds like you're settling in though?”
She glanced over at her lunch companion, lifting her eyebrows in clear interest. Easthaven was your typical city, with weirdness both mundane and supernatural. Any of it made a pretty good story.
