It was Anna's scent Indie had detected as he passed the giant oak, and it was no wonder, seeing as how she still spent most her waking hours hanging out in its branches, observing the ley-lines that traveled beneath its roots. In particular, there was one branch she favored midway up the tree that allowed her a superior vantage point and was still large enough that she could sit cross-legged on it. She had been there when she first spied the vampire, but had scrambled to another spot in the tree so she could both observe and remain downwind of him as he came closer.
Between his red hair and the devil-may-care way he sauntered through the park, there was no mistaking Indie. Unconsciously, her shapely upper lip twisted into a snarl. The only thing that kept her from dropping out of the tree and onto his head was that he'd been the one to suggest William take her shopping. Her clothes had been threadbare and stained beyond help after months of wear, so a venture to a nearby mall had been much needed... and even appreciated.
Anna's face relaxed and she tilted her to the side, watching him pass under her tree with more curiosity than anger - especially when she caught his scent and all the other flavors it was mingled with. He smelled of alcohol, smoke and sex; all very interesting things on their own, but when combined, nearly intoxicating. It reminded her of the club William had taken her to.
When Indie had passed totally out of sight, she gracefully descended from her hiding spot and followed after him for a ways before she finally announced her presence.
"I have new clothes," she said to his back. And indeed she did.
Instead of a ratty tank top and jeans that didn't quite fit her, she had on a form fitting black shirt and dark jeans that hugged her curves like a glove. Over her shirt was a black leather jacket that could be zipped up, but remained open, revealing that in addition to her shirt fitting well, it was cut to offer a teasing glimpse of her cleavage. She also had on a pair of very comfortable black boots, good for walking on streets but not in the forest. William had promised to find her a pair of hiking boots on their next shopping venture, but until then, she'd make do with what she had.
The only jewelry she had was a necklace with delicate silver chain and a feather pendant, something she'd fallen in love with at the store as soon as she'd spied it. She hadn't taken it off since. She reached up to finger it idly as she waited for Indie's reaction.
