[OPEN] :: Let a bird lean in the hole and sing

Who: Sebastian LeMat, Velcro, & YOU.
What: Apartment hunting, working in the yard, etc.
Where: Sobek Croix, the Hellsing Guild Hall, but if you want anywhere else, I'm agreeable, just let me know.
When: Coardi

When Bellatrix arrived, he'd acquiesced and given up his old flat in favour of the safety of living in Hellsing's guildhall, but it was only ever meant to be a temporary measure. Months have passed since the first time the Mark went up and Hermione's arrival has only served to drive home the fact that he needs to have his own space away from other people. He was and remains glad that he'd been able to offer a safe place to stay for a friend, but can't entirely shake the lingering worry that he unsettles her.

Should one be out and about in the city, there are a variety of places Sebastian can be found: working in the greenhouse, reading through the papers and calling to arrange viewings for apartments, being out in Sobek Croix itself to look at apartments, or having a bit of peace and quiet reading by the fire in the Hellsing common room.

If there was something Martha missed from the Barge it was having a sense of community. Oh, there were other things and people whom she missed, but she missed the feeling of belonging, of having people to know and people who knew her. With her husband's decision to out himself, as it were, Martha was feeling the lack of community especially keenly. It was odd really to be the one here who had less contacts, and who knew fewer people.

She really needed to fix that, Martha decided.

The best way to fix it, she decided, was to find those people who were around her and whom Hellsing had already considered trustworthy. Like UNIT and the Barge before it, Martha trusted the people at Hellsing just by their association with the organization. Well, at least until it proved to be wrong to do so. Perhaps she was a bit too trusting after all.

Moving through the Hellsing common room, Martha wondered if Hermione was around, and she didn't see her. Instead, as she spotted Sebastian, Martha decided that there was someone who she would introduce herself too. Quickly walking over to him, Martha smiled and asked, "Excuse me, have you seen Hermione?"
