Cold Mountain Walk Anyone? *Blake*

[Willow Caffery]

Willow walked out of her house and thought it'd be a good day to take a walk around the woods that was around her home. She put on a pair of sweats, a long sleeve shirt, and a pull-over sweater that had The New Salem Academy emblem on the front of it. Looking out into the yard she noticed that it was starting to snow once again, but lightly. Willow took a hair tie from her pocket and pulled up her hair, she wasn't wearing any makeup because she wouldn't likely run into anyone.

Pulling up her hood, Willow started to walk south of her house, she could feel the crunching sound of the snow as she walked above it. Looking up, the clouds were grey and little white pillows were falling around and on her. "A perfect morning for this kind of stroll." she said smiling to herself. As she walked she heard the birds chirping and the squirrles scurry about in the trees, of course they were stocking up on nuts before a storm blew in.

Walking she could see the puffs of her breath slither out infront of her, she should have brought gloves, but instead she pulled out her wand and conjured up some gloves and slipped them on. "There toasty warm." talking to herself. Looking far ahead she seen a river and thought it'd be a nice place to stop and take a rest.

Blake just woke up from his slumber in his muggle hotel room. He had been on tour for about a month and had finally decided to escape the parties and craziness for at least a day or two. He needed to do a soul cleanse as he called it. He sat up and stretched, yawning and scratching his back before standing up and walking to the bathroom. He looked in the mirror and washed his face.
He walked into the shower and turned it on, he was naked, he slept in the buff naturally. As he washed his hair he was thinking up songs in his head. He was drumming his hands on the wall of the shower and shaking his head. He rinsed himself and stepped out of the shower, he threw a towel around his waist and then another towel around his luscious locks. He continued to drum his hands on his hips, legs, table tops you name it. He pulled out a black long sleeve, black silk boxers, some tattered jeans, a vest and his warmest jacket.
He threw on his clothes and begun to hum the beat, tossing in words here and there. He packed up his backpack with the little sample soaps and what not, he then walked outside with his back pack on one shoulder. He paid the bill in muggle money and went for a walk. He saw many things while he was walking but then he saw a young lady pull out a wand and conjure up some gloves. He grinned and ran up to her, he looked down at her and said, So do you make it a habit of using magic where muggles can see you??? He smirked and continued walk with her.

Willow was just relaxing when she heard someone behind her and jumped three feet in the air, "Aaaaah!!" She calmed down and looked behind her. There was a man standing there with a smirk on his face like he just did a naughty joke, which he did. Willow scowled at him, "What a way to scare somebody!" she said a little loudly. She didn't mean for it to come out loud, she was still a little frazzled.

Getting up, she wiped the snow from the back of her pants and eyed the man, he was average looking, tall, some wild hair at it, she smirked. "Well yeah I can if I want. Plus I knew people weren't going to be out here. They don't like the cold much, I've come to know that in such a little amount of time. Your a wizard I take it?" asking. Well he had to be if he knew about magic at all, well she didn't until she found out that she was a witch along with her siblings and mother. They just hid it from her till she was able to understand.

Willow looked around in the forest and noticed that it started to snow a lot more, but it wasn't enough to start going home, plus she didn't want a stranger to know where she lived, which was not that far away. "What are you doing out here anyways? This is like out of the blue path." she asked curiously. She hoped this guy wasn't too much trouble, because she did take some self defense classes after her mugging mishap a few years ago.

Blake smirked when she screamed a little, he shrugged a little and grinned. I'm not the one showing off a bit of magic in the muggle world now am I? I mean what if I was a muggle and got angry at the things I didn't understand and came up and punched you or something? I'm all for Muggle integration but I also understand how non magical muggles react to things. He grinned and said as he pulled out his wand and conjured up a black beanie to put on his head, Although I'm not above doing so.
He grinned at her little attitude, What? I'm just trying to make conversation. I mean I normally come here to get away, I never, I mean never see another Magical person here. He nodded, Yeah I'm a wizard. She apparently didn't recognize him, which was a first so he didn't say anything about his status. I know what you mean about them not liking the cold. I normally come here to be alone, I just couldn't help but notice your skills. He smirked and pulled out a hip flask from his belt and sipped on the butterbeer in it.
He looked down at her and grinned, Well in my line of work...the lifestyle can be a bit much. So I tend to come out here to get away. I noticed you and decided to scare you and now I'm talking to you. He grinned and walked beside her, What about you lovely? As you said, this is off the beaten path...And I don't know many witches or wizards that come out to the muggle world. They are always going to Vakkar or Rolige Byen. He shrugged and put his hands in his pockets as he walked next to her.

Willow scowled at the man and looked at him, "Of course I looked around before I did the magic, no one really comes out here, so I know that I'm also safe. And I don't think a muggle will react that dramatically as to come and punch a girl for goodness sakes!" she said crossing her arms while all he did was grin at her. She watched as he conjured up a beanie and put it on his head, she was going to say something back to that, but she kept her tongue.

She just looked around, he was right, he was just trying to make conversation, she should be a bit nicer, but she didn't feel like it at the moment, "Yeah well I just found this little pass not too long ago, I moved here about a year ago." she said flipping her hair out of her face. Willow heard him say he was a wizard, well she did see him conjure the beanie before, he said he liked to be alone, she wondered why. Curiosity always killed the cat, "I don't mind being alone myself. And what skill?" she asked. Watching him take out his flask to drink something, she just watched didn't say.

He said that his lifestlye can be a bit much, but hey, wouldn't everyone need a break once in a while, so that was one thought crossed out. She shook her head and tried not to grin, "Well what happened if I was a heart patient and you scared me just like you did and I had a heart attack, better hope you know CPR or something." she said walking a little bit. He asked her a question and she looked up at him, "Like I said I moved here a year ago, I like living in muggle towns really, makes life a little interesting. I go to Vakkar and Rolige Byen sometimes, but here it seems a little simpler. You work for something and appreciate it after the rewards of your sowing. Instead of using magic." she said. Willow didn't want to say about her father being a muggle, he had quite a shock when he found out about her mother being a witch. She looked up ahead and seen a log in the path and when they walked up to it she took a seat down, "So why is your lifestyle so hard? What do you do?" asking him.

Willow than shook her head and smiled a little, "Well my name is Willow. So you have a name with the face." she said holding out her hand. Willow started to relax a little to the guy, but still had her gaurd up a little.

Blake grinned he knew that she was careful, hell every witch or wizard with any sense would be careful in the muggle world but that didn't stop him from being a pest. You never know. You've read about Salem and witch burnings after all and heck most of those accused were muggles so don't put it past them. He saw her look and said Whhhaaaat? No one is looking, there is no one here but us. He winked and waggled his eyebrows. Blake could see that he was slightly irritating her and for some reason he was relishing in it. Wow. Very brave of you to move to a muggle village in a very anti muggle region. He said it with a slight frown, this right there was why he had run away from his family name. Well then you and I can be alone together, you with your attitude and me with my butterbeer. He offered her his flask and said, You are very skillful with your wand. That's all I was trying to say.
He could see that he was breaking though her defenses. He grinned then said, Well I would have apparated you to a hospital and left you in safe hands...but since you didn't have a heart attack I believe you are in the clear. He chuckled before sipping from his flask again. Blake listened and nodded, The simple things are nice, I always promote simple living, coexistence and peace in my music. Second hint dropped. My profession doesn't need magic to be successful, I mainly just use it for parlor tricks so to speak. He adjusted his beanie before looking back at her and smiling.
He looked at her and grinned wider, It's always refreshing to meet someone who doesn't recognize me. I'm the front man for the band Unity. Blake Ashley Xander at your service. He held out his hand and gave her a curt nod. He smiled softly and said, Willow. A lovely name for a lovely annoyed looking girl. He grinned his signature boyish grin. He would break through her defenses and hopefully make a new friend.

Willow laughed internally, but snorted externally, "Oh yes, I've read about the Salem withes, that's where the American wizarding school is. That's where I went." she said folding her arm. She just shook her head and couldn't help but a glint of a smile from her face about his reaction, "Yes and I was the one that got hackled for when I conjured up something. So I'll do it to you." she said starting to talk in a mimiking voice like his, "So yeah, you should look around, a muggle might see you and get very upset." laughing as she talked. She was bad with impressions, then wiggling her eyebrows as well. Willow knit her eyebrows together and tilted her head, "Anti Muggle region?" She didn't know what he ment, but she hoped it wasn't bad. When he offered her his flask, she shook her head, "No thank you, I don't like butterbeer." Willow ordered one when it was her first week to Norway and almost gagged, she would just stick to her coffee and hot chocolate. "Oh why thanks, you didn't seem too bad yourself." saying back to him.

She couldn't help but laugh a little as well, "Yes, good thing I am in the clear." Listening to him talking she wondered if he was a musician, he said 'with his music' or he could just sing songs for a hobby or something, but didn't think on it too much. "Well that's good, magic shouldn't be a person's only lifeline. Then you just start to get lazy." she wondered what the heck he did, he must be a musician. She smiled back to his big grin when he finally said what he did for a living, "Oh my god!! I know who you are now, can I like have your autograph??" she said delightfully. She couldn't help but laugh right after, "Nah just kidding. I never heard of your band before. Hope I'm not offending you by saying that. How is that kind of life?" asking curiously. Willow took his hand and gave it a gentle shake, "Oh ha ha, I take it your a comedian on your vacation days also?" she smiled. The smile he was giving her was contagious, she smiled wide.

Standing up, she noticed that it got a bit colder, "Do you mind if we keep walking, gotta keep my body moving so I can stay warm." asking. She couldn't believe that he was a celebrity, he didn't seem like one, just an ordinary guy out in the woods. "So how did you escape your screaming fans to get out here. Or does no one know your here?" asking him.
