East

The east side of the city is the very heart of Sacrosanct - it's unique skyline is a clash between modern sky rises and small Victorian-inspired storefronts. In the heart of downtown, the sleek colored glass buildings reign supreme though their old-world roots can be seen in the most peculiar places from the lamp post styled electric street light to the stone sidewalks. The old world architecture slowly returns the further from downtown you travel, however. It's here that magic thrives, it hums in every stone and can be felt in every breath. Often, newcomers to the city may become overwhelmed by such sensations but, eventually, it becomes an ever-present feeling that's hardly noticed.

a little rough around the edges

Something in the woman's gaze seemed appreciative of my gesture not to look at her naked form. Though she certainly didn't seem bashful about it. Even though I had no idea who she was, I couldn't help but feel a little modicum of satisfaction to know she approved of my manners. When I tossed her the jacket, I couldn't help but scowl in confusion at the way she looked at it, almost as if it would attack her. But finally she seemed to figure out the cool air warranted something to cover with so she delicately picked up the leather and (after a thorough examination) slipped it on. When she started to walk around the bike, inspecting it, I couldn't help but watch. Mind you, it was a polite watching, focusing on her bare feet as they stepped on the cool asphalt, or up to her feminine shoulders that looked so relaxed and almost bored in this scenario. I was careful never to let my gaze settle too long on the in-between.

She crouched down beside me after a moment, careful of her positioning. Something in her expression looked displeased for a minute and I couldn't help but wonder what that was about. When I asked about a phone, she seemed incredulous and I really couldn't blame her. Oh well, it was worth a try. She said something about watching the other women lift things before and I couldn't even keep up with all the different thoughts in my head. What women could lift heavy things like a Harley? And if I wasn't a gentleman, I could think of a million ways to reply back to that last part about these heavy things not being as large as mine.... a smirk managed to sneak onto my lips before I hurriedly reset my features back to their curious and slightly shocked status. "Um...if you say so? I just don't want you to hurt yourself. If I could just find a phone, I could call for help and you wouldn't have to worry about it. I'm just glad...everyone is okay." The last words came out slowly, since of course all I had to look around at when I say "everyone" is the deer that was in the road. Is that what anyone else would say when they almost hit a deer? Probably not, but something told me she thought of these deer as more than just creatures with a death sentence when it came to roads and vehicles.

All thoughts fled when the woman suddenly straddled my injured leg to grab ahold of the bike that was pinning me down. I all but held my breath, afraid to accidentally touch her or anything that could be considered rude or perverse as she grasped the bike and told me to push. I could only nod, even though she probably couldn't see it, before I started to push with all I could. The pain in my leg was getting to be more than just a small throb as the adrenaline wore off, and I ended up clenching my jaw to keep from groaning in pain. It felt like it took forever and I could feel the beginnings of a light sweat on my forehead as the bike finally righted itself on the road. Only then as she moved up with the bike and moved to sit on its seat did I let out my breath in a rush to hide the pain of my now bleeding and fully throbbing leg. I quickly put my hand on it to staunch the bleeding and glanced up at her when she asked about the bike falling back over. I couldn't help the small smile as I nodded my head toward the lower part of the bike.

"There's a kick stand that holds it up down under the foot pedal. You just kick it a little to drop it down."
