Harry Dresden has posed:
Harry Dresden is in need of exercize. He often finds that he needs to run from things that he cannot set on fire, and that is far too many things so he is out in jogging clothes and a wristwatch. Mechanical of course, since anything else would be fried. He is winded but keeping on.

Thomas Raith has posed:
"On your left," comes a friendly voice as the man in white pulls up beside him in the jog. He doesn't seem that winded, if at all, slowing and matching pace with the Wizard. "Oh, hello there Mr. Dresden, do you need me to call someone for you, you look terrible." He says with mock concern, though not cruel.

Harry Dresden has posed:
Harry Dresden says, "I saw that movie at a drive in..." he huffs. And keeps running though talking is painful. "You are not being helpful." He looks jealous, annoyed and amused."

Thomas Raith has posed:
Thomas Raith laughs slightly, offering the younger man an unopened bottle of water, keeping an easy pace. It's not fair, he doesn't even train. "Are there still Drive -ins around? I thought they had all gone the way of the Dodo." He says amused, turning around and jogging backwards so he can look the other man face to face..

Harry Dresden has posed:
Harry Dresden takes it and chugs a bit and then hands it back. "Yeah, there is one on Long Island. Old stuff is there if you look for it." He smiles and shakes his head at the back wards jogging. The talking is making it harder but he keeps up

Thomas Raith has posed:
The older man smirks slightly, at least admireing Harry's tenacity. He waves the bottle back, letting Harry keep it and turning back around offering a long legged blonde that jogs by the other way a wicked smile that has her looking at them for several steps. "So which do you get more? Requests for parties or love potions?" he asks curiously..

Harry Dresden has posed:
Harry Dresden takes some of it and pours it on top of his head. Harry is nothing if not stubborn to a fault. He keeps going and also admires the blond but does not let the look linger. "Parties. People rarely believe in love potions and those that do go to hedge=" he chucks the rest of the water, "mages. People that will do it and hope Wardens dont notice."

Thomas Raith has posed:
Thomas Raith nods slightly, tilting his head. "Are they illegal? I thought you mentioned you made one once that your girlfriend accidentally drank." He says with an amused tone in his voice, The man had been up till 4 am with the bar and is now out at 8 am and he's running. It's not fair he doesn't even caffinate.

Harry Dresden has posed:
Harry Dresden says, "They are, but I'm not a warden. Technically I should enforce things like that but Love Potions are also....grayish. Most are crap and when they arent they are no better than viagra really. The ones who know the real thing most of the time end up doing stuff that gets the attention of warrens and gets them killed. The ones that arent and that would dont advertize in the phone book. And that was one of the stupidest things I ever did."

Thomas Raith has posed:
Thomas Raith nods slightly and smirks just a bit. "Some Wizard in LA got my sister to kiss like fifty lipstick prints on a piece of paper. PAid her $5000 for them, I suppose that's probibly why. I can only imagine it'd help with the potency." He says amused at the thought, though Love potens are far from something that scare him. They are the exact sort of love the White court prefers in fact. "And be honest Harry, I doubt it ranks in the top 5. "

Harry Dresden has posed:
Harry Dresden says, "Yeah. That...is probably something I shouldnt know about but yeah that could be dangerous stuff." He stops jogging and looks a bit....moody. "Trust me. It's the top 3." He sighs and looks at Thomas, "I'll tell you about her sometime, but its tied to this whole mess with the Red Court. Bastards."

Thomas Raith has posed:
Thomas Raith nods slightly slowing to a walk and letting the pasty magic geek catch his breath. "Oh you won't get any argument from me on that score. Believe me I wouldn't object if you found a nice magic spell to wipe them all completely off the face of the planet. We tried to make a movie, weaponize it like we did Dracula agienst the Black Court. Unfortunately Tarantino's movie really wasn't taken to heart the way my father had hoped.

Harry Dresden has posed:
Harry Dresden says, "That kind of thing only happens in books or movies. If I had a script writer to help me out that much, he would be a sadistic bastard who enjoys tormenting me just because he can. No one who hates me that much is going to give me some kind of magic button to make them all go away. But a movie...maybe. People are cynical but super heroes work. But the White Court would consider it nuclearization. Your father was behind that? That was nice."

Thomas Raith has posed:
Thomas Raith chuckles, "MY Great grandfather is the one who commissioned Stoker for original Dracula." He confides. He figures it's not allot of work for a wizard to be able to track down the information if he really wanted it so why not let him know? He shrug, "FAther thought it would be worth a try, maybe it would get some Red Courts out into the sunlight."

Harry Dresden has posed:
Harry Dresden says, "I suspect they prepared for it. They're annoying that way and a lot more amenable to change than than the Black Court. All the stupid ones died as a result of that book." He shrugged and smiled, stretching and slowly actually catching his breath."

Thomas Raith has posed:
"Of course that means only the sart ones are left behind to breed as it were." Thomas comments dryly, shaking his head. "That's why I want out of the game so bad, and why I don't want Inari to ever be part of it." He sighs a and opens another bottle of water, taking a little sip.

Harry Dresden has posed:
Harry Dresden says, "From what Ive seen and killed, Intelligence isnt conveyed when they make a new one. And yes, I do understand about Inari. I think I might have another idea about that. A divination to see if her bo might actually be the real deal."

Thomas Raith has posed:
Thomas Raith nods a bit sipping his water and leaning back. "Can I ask you a personal question Harry?" he asks calmly, "Now from what I understand you've never really had any family, your father died when you were young, your mother when you were a baby... Why is family so important to you? I think most in your situation would be...indifferent at best.

Harry Dresden has posed:
Harry Dresden says, "Huh." He takes a moment to think about that. "Because I dont have it. Closest thing I had betrayed me. And I was taught well by a good man. I might not remember much but I do remember my dad very well. Connections to others are all we have. Friends, family...but even strangers. Its what makes us not monsters."

Thomas Raith has posed:
Thomas Raith chuckles a bit, "Alright, Hypothetical question now. Your dad wasn't exactlly a spring chickedn, right? So what would you do if say tomorrow you found out that before he met your mother, or say after one of his shows after you'd been born, he'd unknowingly fathered another child and you had a sister out there somewhere. What would you do?"

Harry Dresden has posed:
Harry Dresden says, "My dad didn't sleep around. He would have told me if I had a sibling but hypothetically if someone like that existed I would want to meet them. Family is what you make it but you should at least TRY to make nice with a blood relation. The idea of family would be....nice."

Thomas Raith has posed:
Thomas Raith nods slightly, taking a deep swallow of his water, running his bottle between his hands smiling a bit. "I had three older brothers. I never met any of them. They all died under mysterious circumstances." He says with a sigh, "Basically my father is Chronos, at least in that regard. His daughters...he does worse things to."

Harry Dresden has posed:
Harry Dresden says, "I get it Thomas. We may have had our awkward moments, and I dont like your family at all but I really appreciate that you are trying to be a good person. And your desire to help your sister increased my respect for you more.""

Thomas Raith has posed:
"I really hope you still feel that way when all this is over Harry, I really do." he says softly, not looking even at the Wizard's face, let alone at his eyes. That will come later. Taking a deep breath he nods and smirks, "Well then, I say we put in another four miles and then we can head back, what do you think?

Harry Dresden has posed:
Harry Dresden grunts. He normally only did two more but wasn't about to give Thomas the satisfaction. He might be respecting Thomas but he would need more time to TRUST a member of the white court and weakness wasn't happening. "Sounds good to me.
