She ran nimbly across the rooftop, reached the edge and jumped without hesitation. Her body arced in the air between the two buildings with a controlled grace, and as she landed on the next roof and continued along it she made no sound. She watched the streets below as she continued through the city, seeming to only vaguely register the activity below though in actuality she noted each idling or passing vehicle, each human walking along be it in groups or pairs or singles.
The sidewalks were faintly lit by the neon signs of store fronts and the occasional street lamp and music drifted from several locations along the street, intermingling in the cool spring night air. Allowing her hearing to expand a bit beyond the human range, she could distinguish voices , mumblings from below each roof she alighted on.
Finally the voice she sought radiated from a few buildings ahead and she unconsciously hastened her stride. She slowed as she landed on the roof of the building that housed a bar with a sign made of looping, streams of neon spelling out the name "Flame". ******ta couldn't note the name as it was not visible from her position on the roof, so she committed to memory the name of the restaurant across the street instead.
She wasn't surprised when she came across a massive domed skylight protruding from the roof, it was so like him to want a connection to the outdoors even when inside. As she looked down into the crowded room, she was immediately able to pick him out of the crowd.
Okay, going to stop there since I have been rewriting as I have been typing this and I am too tired to think anymore. I wrote some more today at work though! Exciting!
