tell the world that i'm coming home [open to all!]
Well, he's back.
It's the first time that he's stepped foot inside of Siren Cove since he left back in October. He and James ended things messily, and after everything else that happened, his grandmother's offer of a reprieve in Ireland was just too tempting to pass up. He owns the garage now, and left it in good hands when he left. His grandmother had given him a glamouring spell for Edan, designed to make his fox familiar look like a dog to a human eye, and that made it easier for Davin to travel with him.
He lifts the glamour once the cab that brought them from the airport drives away, and Edan yips before circling Davin's feet excitedly. His apartment smells a little stale, and he opens the windows to air it out. The place looks empty, so full of memories both good and bad, and he sighs as he stares at the coffeemaker. He could really use a cup.
"Dare we go t'Quill so soon?" Davin asks, looking down at Edan, who wags his huge fluffy tail in response. Davin's Irish accent is thick from all the time he spent there, and he knows that he'll most likely switch between English and Gaelic without even realizing it for awhile.
After dropping off his bags and changing into some fresh clothes, he checks his reflection in the mirror. He's changed since he left. The coven put him through physical and mental training, and he did a lot of exercising during his time there. While still lean, he's noticeably more muscular, and his skin is almost milky pale thanks to an Irish winter. There is stubble on his jaw and his hair, usually a mess, is combed back neatly and parted on the side in a way that his grandmother says makes him look like a movie star from back in the good ol' days.
He's wearing a dark green button down shirt over jeans, because it may be January in Maine but it feels practically balmy to Davin. He rolls up the sleeves to his elbows and looks down at the tattoo on his forearm. The roots go down to trail around his wrist, and as Davin watches, the edges seem to crackle blue with electricity. He smiles.
"C'mon, Edan. Time t'face the music." His fox lets out a happy chitter as he follows Davin down the steps, and he sends only Mira a brief text stating that he's arrived, and Quill bound. He's pretty sure that he missed Mira and Quill coffee most of all.
The streets are cool and quiet, and Davin feels a weird juxtaposition as he walks towards downtown. This is his home, the place that he's always loved, but he feels a little like a stranger here. Hopefully once he reconnects with people, that will change.
Hey, he's been all about change lately.

She bends down to let Edan sniff her. "Yes, you too. Have you gotten bigger since I saw you last, or just wider?" She grins and lets herself be dragged, resting her head on Davin's shoulder for a second until it gets too awkward to walk that way.
"So how was the flight?"

“It was long,” he tells her, keeping an arm around her waist as they head into Quill. “Had a layover in Atlanta that I swear lasted ‘bout eighty-three hours. I’m exhausted but I need t’stay awake or jetlag will kick my ass.”
They get into line and Davin takes in a deep breath, sighing happily. “God, I did miss this coffee. It might warm me up even more than the hot Irish boys I came across over there.”
Davin cuts her a sly look and winks.

She raises an eyebrow and grins. "Oh really. What, you didn't pack any in your suitcase?" She's got plenty of warmth these days, but hey. Eye candy is eye candy. "Anyone whose name I'll be hearing again?"
The barista at Quill knows Mira's order. "And whatever he's having," she slides in, nodding at Davin. He did pay for her to come all the way to Ireland, after all.

Davin kissed his fingertips, because the sex was that good. "I'm sure he'll be a bootycall whenever I'm back there, but that's 'bout it."
He still misses James, still feels for him. He fucking hates that.
Mira offers to buy his coffee and Davin cuts her a look but doesn't complain, just ordering his standard latte. Just the smell has him tipping his head back in ecstasy. "God, I did miss this place."

"No one does coffee like Quill," she agrees, ordering a panini last-minute because even if he's bulked up, Davin still needs food in him and the best way to get that done is to share something.
"Got plans now that you're back in town? And yes, that is an oblique way of asking if you want to go out. Maybe not tonight," she admits.
no subject
"Oh, hell yeah," Davin assures her, waiting for her to grab the panini before leading them to a table. "I'm jetlagged as fuck, so maybe this weekend? I need to head into the shop, too."
