Anacosta Heights
Dupont Circle
Hawethorn Village
River Dale
Situated above the daily life of the city, Anacosta Heights is a tucked away suburb featuring extravagant neo-gothic inspired mansions. The inhabitants of this neighborhood often show their overwhelming wealth with sports cars lining their long, circular driveways, large pools, and manicured gardens. The homeowners of Anacosta Heights treasure their privacy as seen by the high iron gates to the security personnel present at every entrance.
Dupont Circle is a small suburban neighborhood settled within the serene portion of the southern portion of town. These four-bedroom, single-family homes feature back yards, porches, garages, and far more breathing space then the Village offers. This neighborhood often is more family orientated and even has organized events for children and the neighborhood as a whole.
Settled in the middle of downtown, Hawthorn Village consists of several victorian inspired row houses just off the main street. Due to it's convenience to just about everything, the village can be a tad expensive to live within. However, the residents of this neighborhood often have two to three-story townhouses, often with a one to two-car garage. Many of the houses feature bay windows and/or rooftop terraces with a small fenced-in 'yard'.
River Dale primarily consists of apartments that, despite their age and industrial appearing interior, still hold to the Victorian history that permeates the town. These apartments are often the cheapest option and sport scuffed, older wooden floors, open floor plans, visible beams, and the occasional brick wall.
Ashton is quite happy when she is seated on the back of the ambulance, breathing in the oxygen. He can tell that she's a stubborn one, not wanting him or any of the firefighters or EMTs to help treat her smoke inhalation. He wishes she would just accept the treatment without fussing about it, but he decides that ultimately, it's his choice on the matter. "Ma'am, I'm just trying to help. I've seen what breathing in too much smoke can do to someone." He doesn't want to make her feel bad or pressure her into accepting treatment, but he wants her to understand what refusing treatment could potentially do to her.
But the conversation thankfully travels on to how she intends to repay him. He kindly told her that he didn't have to be repaid anything, that he would be happy if she just extended a helping hand to someone else who might need it. Her answer had him chuckling lightly, shaking his head softly at her. "I did not mean that you have to rescue someone from a burning building." He paused a minute, his expression turning softly. "All good deeds are equal in value. So even picking up a can that someone dropped at the grocery store is repayment enough. As long as it is kind to someone else without the need to be repaid." Perhaps he was a little too overzealous about what he wanted in repayment. In fact, she could probably not do anything and he would be fine with it. He saved her because he couldn't bear to watch her die. He would have done that for anyone. Not everyone was able or willing to do as he did. But as long as you did what you were capable of and willing, this world would be a much better place to live in.
He asks her if she has someplace to stay, hoping that she would have somewhere to go. If she didn't, he'd have to offer her his small apartment with limited furnishings. Until he had a paying job, he would have to get by on what he could. Hopefully something would come along soon.
When she asks him if he could buy her lunch sometime, that she would lose sleep if she couldn't pay him back in some way, he finally concedes to her request. "Lunch would be fine, ma'am." He offers her a soft smile. "Can I walk you to where you can stay tonight? It's late - you shouldn't be out alone." Perhaps his help at this point would go unwelcomed, but he had to at least offer it to her.
