*Indeed it seemed that Daisy's oddness never ceased... Of course when she slipped into dog form, she also tried to slip into dog mindset. She had been practicing this since she learned to change form. When she was in this form, unless you knew it was her, it wasn't likely that you would be able to tell her apart from any other dog... At least not from the outside... And even if you could read minds, it might be difficult at this point. Daisy watched the stick intently, nipping lightly at it as it was wiggled in front of her nose. And then it was off in flight! She let out a bark of joy before whirling around and dashing off after it, motoring those paws against the ground, until she got right under it, then leapt to grab it in her teeth. She would then trot around the field proudly with it clamped firmly in her jaws. Goodness she didn't know why people didn't do this... It was so much fun!*
*Soon, however, she picked up on Venus' upset feelings and she would perk her ears up, looking over to her. Well that was enough of puppy form for now, and she would bound over to Venus and shift back. One problem... She had forgoten to take the stick out of her mouth... Well well well now wouldn't this be comical. If this didn't make Venus laugh, she wasn't sure what would. But now with her human taste buds back, she would wrinkle her nose and spit the stick into her hands.*
Ok so that doesn't taste quite as good as a person...
*That was always a skill of Daisy's... Unknowingly being able to make people laugh and make people happy... Most of the time.*

(Ok this is now a few hours later.)
*Daisy ran the whole way from the Three Broomsticks, jumping over the gate, and running into the field. Heck she didn't even bother to glance up into the sky to see if the Dark Mark was still hanging ominously. She didn't care. Tears flooded from her eyes now that she was away from everyone for now. She didn't know what to do! She loved her brother dearly, but she was a young woman now... Not a silly girl... Well she was a silly girl... But she was a silly girl with all the needs and the growing maturity of a young woman. She would simply stand there, near the center of the field where she had stopped, her face in her hands as she cried quietly to herself. This seemed to be quite the place for her these days... A place to think... A place to comfort... A place to frolic... A place to be alone... And the alone time is what she sought for the brief moment, although it might be likely that someone she knew would happen upon her now.*

*Ken had been seated in the same place since earlier. He had been staring at the stars, wondering about his mission and how it had progressed so little, trying to figure out what he should do next.*
*He heard a sound and looked up. Someone had arrived.*
*Ken squinted a little looking into the darkness, trying to make out who it was. Yes, it was Daisy, the girl from earlier on.*
*He got himself up and strolled over to her*
Hello there.

*Daisy was rather oblivious to everything that was going on around her. Certainly she understood that night had fallen, and yet she didn't really seem to care. She stood there in near silence there near the center of this lovely place, hands lightly over her face, tears streaming down her cheeks. And yet she had been oblivious to the fact that Ken had been sitting there still, even when she had gone back to the tavern for a bit. But soon she heard him coming up behind her, and whirled around, alarm in her eyes. And yet when she saw who it was, she relaxed slightly.*
Oh... Hey Ken.
*She tried hard to smile, but her voice quavered and betrayed what she had been feeling only a moment ago.*

*He tilts his head*
Are you all right Daisy?

*She glanced down for a moment, and imediately rose a hand to wipe away the residual tears that stained her face as she heard his question, definately holding concern for the young woman.*
I... Oh yes. I'm fine, sorry... It's silly really...
*She mumbled a bit, shaking her head some. Indeed, it was completely silly, and just thinking about telling Ken about it made her blush a little. She figured he would think she was simply a silly girl...*

*He reaches out and places his hand on her shoulder comfortingly.*
Would you like to talk about it?
*He smiles warmly to let her know he cares*

*She froze as she felt his hand upon her shoulder, and yet soon relaxed a bit to it. She looked up to him and couldn't help but smile a bit, before ducking her head some in slight embarrasement. In all honesty she did...*
I ah... Well it was silly really... But I was in the pub earlier today and my brother... Greyson... Well he came in with his new girlfriend...
*She furrowed her brow a bit, already not certain of this woman, and yet that was likely just her being a sister...*
Well... I was already at the bar when a man I knew from school... Roger... Came in and came to sit by me. Well not long after Juliette, another schoolfriend of mine came in as well and we were talking and having a good time... Well... For one reason or another, I was leaning too far back on my stool, trying to poke Juliette around Roger, when I lost my balance... I fell right into Roger's arms...
*She blushed a bright pink.*
But the loud clatter of my stool flying back caught the attention of my brother... He flew up and threatened Roger as he does with just about any man who simply looks at me too long...
*Those last words were spoken somewhat scathingly... She loved her brother dearly, and yet his overprotectiveness seemed to get to her at times... Not that she didn't appreciate it... But sometimes she felt it was over the top... She sighed and glanced back up to Ken after she finished.*
Silly I know... Nothing to cry over really... I don't know, it just caught me off guard tonight I guess...

*Ken smiled*
Well that's big brothers for you. Overprotective of their lil sisters!
I'm sure he means well. Though it does sound like he has a bit of a temper on him..

*She nodded just slightly in response to his words, grinning just slightly.*
Oh yes, I know... And usually I don't mind... I just... His reaction to what was very innocent just got me...
*Naturally Daisy had no clue what had been going on in Roger's mind, if there was anything less than innocent there... She was indeed far too innocent for her own good... Which wasn't necessarily a bad thing... But it could make things interesting. But she would nod again, trembling a little as she saw the look on his face as he physically confronted Roger.*
Yes... Yes he does...
*She shook her head a little bit and glanced up at the sky, sighing a little bit.*
He doesn't seem to understand that I am now twenty three... I can make my own decisions honestly... I mean, I am thankful that he looks after me... But I'm not a child...
*She sighed slightly and shook her head some.*

*Ken's hand lingered on her shoulder and he was unsure whether to move it*
Have you told him this?
*He wasn't sure if she was completely without need of someone to take care of her. But it did sound like this brother crossed the line*

*Daisy was very aware of his hand upon her shoulder, and quite frankly she wasn't certain she did want him to move it. Nor was she cetain she didn't wish to simply fly into his arms. But for now she held her position where it was for the moment. She looked up in surprise at his question, her eyes widening slightly before she shook her head a little bit.*
Oh no... I know he only means well and I don't wish to upset him...
*She shakes her head a little, though she sighs. She had figured she wouldn't find someone to date, much less settle down anytime soon, much to her dismay, until she found someone who her brother totally approved of... Which seemed nearly impossible. But she managed a small smile up to Ken.*
But it's alright... I mean... Roger wasn't really hurt... We stopped Greyson in time...
*She faltered a little bit. She wasn't sure if Greyson really would have hurt Roger or not... And that thought bothered her considerably.*

*He shrugs. Matters such as this were never his strong point.*
Well maybe that's the first thing you need to do? He won't know how you feel unless you tell him.
*He hopes that this suggestion is not likely to cause more trouble.*
I could come with you if you like? It's not really a Ministry matter, but I have time.
*He smiles, though he does not know what use he would be if she accepted his offer*

*She continued to smile lightly up at him, at least until he gave this suggestion. Her eyes widened and she suddenly shook her head fearfully. Indeed she wasn't really afraid of her brother, and yet his temper could run very hot, and at the same time, she didn't want to hurt him...*
No no no no... At least not now... I-I mean I might um... Some other time, but so soon after tonight I-I can't... And besides I'm sure he might calm down a bit, at least for a time... He does have a girlfriend at the moment now... But maybe after he calmed down I... I will talk to him.

*He nods*
Of course. Let him cool off a bit first. Good idea.
Why not relax a bit here for a while? No need to dwell on it.
*He smiles again*
