Off to See the Wizard [Active]

Character(s): Belle, Harry Dresden, maybe Yuuko if she's interested
Content: Belle brings Harry some of Yuna's hair. Um.
Setting: Yuuko's Shop
Time: Evening, Week 7
Warnings: None.

Belle was hardly the most athletic woman in Paixao, but she was quick and agile as she ran through the dimly lit streets of the city. The muffled flapping of her dark blue cloak was the only sound that could be heard outside her hurried footsteps and that was unnerving enough. Ever since Yuna had gone missing, every shadow and every flicker outside her vision made Belle jump. She was spooked, needless to say.

She clutched Yuna's brush tightly to her chest as she jogged, narrowing her eyes. Knowing that Yuna was waiting for rescue, that Hades could be doing any number of horrific things to her...it was almost enough to break Belle, enough to be consumed by anxiety. But after seeing how the others had stood up for themselves at the message board, their determination to help...well. She'd gathered strength from that if nothing else.

There it was. Yuuko's shop. Well, if she'd read the map right. She pushed open the door of the unassuming gate and cried, a little too desperately, "Hello? Is anyone there?"

Harry could guess what Belle was thinking, and pausing he reached out to squeeze her shoulder. "Hey, your quick thinking may have just saved Yuna, and if we get caught someone has to get her location to the others."

Leading the way outside, Harry began following the spell. The problem with the tracking spell was that it always pointed where the subject was, not necessarily the best possible route. They had to double back several times to take new routes and let the spell readjust.

Finally, though, after what felt like hours going through the city they arrived in a neighborhood made up of apartments and small houses to rent. There didn't appear to be any people around this late at night, but it was soon clear that the hair was pointing at one specific house.

Even once Harry noticed the house, he made sure to keep walking past it and noted how the hair kept pointed at it. Glancing back at Belle he whispered, "We'll keep walking around the block, then double back and sneak closer, okay?"
