I chuckled. "Ah, you give me too much credit, or is not enough? I don't even have to put my mind to it," I replied, smiling winningly.

"Is that a story I hear, beckoning in your voice?" I teased, loving the smiles, the flirting.

"If I were to begin regaling you with tales of the troubles I've been in, you'd never make it back to Cereus," I told her, still smiling.
Stretching out my leg beneath the table I let it press against hers. "Not that that would be a bad thing altogether…"

"You flatter me sir." I replied, though the smile was too knowing to be innocent. He was a terrible tease. My skin was burning under my gown. "Why not tell me just one? Something recent?"

"Well, just recently I was out shopping and I met this girl who was so beautiful she just stole my heart away. She took pity on me and spent some time with me, we shopped and talked and had a snack at a café. Then, unable to stand it any longer, I swept her into my arms and carried her to the park around the corner. There, on a hill covered in daffodils, I made love to her until we were both to spent to move. And yet, when the sun set she dressed and returned to her home, leaving me with nothing but a broken heart and the lingering feel of her lips on mine." I smiled and leaned back in my chair slightly.

"But you're not being a trouble maker in that story." I protested, smile twitching the corners of my mouth. "Do you get your heart broken very often?"

"Constantly," I said with a dramatic sigh. "I guess I just love too much."

"It is a hazard." I replied, half tease, half condolence. "Do you steal many girls away to make love to them on daffodil-covered hills?"

"No, just the one. She was my only daffodil experience," I replied.
Just then, our drinks arrived and the girl asked if we'd decided on food. I glanced at the menu and picked the first thing that looked good, mussels in a tomatoe sauce with bread.

I asked for the tortellini after reading the menu at speed as he ordered. I raised my glass slightly as she left. "Your toast." I offered with a smile.

Raising my glass, I said, "To beautiful girls with sunshine smiles and throngs of worshippers, may they continue to cross my path and steal my heart."

"And to handsome lords brave enough to save them." I replied with a smile, sipping the wine.

Smiling, I took a sip of my wine, letting it roll on my tongue before swallowing. It was good.
"So, tell me more about yourself Nyx. I want to know all the wonderful and thrilling details of your life," I told her, still smiling.

I giggled lightly. "I'm sure I could bore you to death that way. I'm an adept, trying to make her way in the Night Court. The last thrilling thing I did was sneaking from Cereus to visit my best friend."

"That sounds thrilling," I told her, smiling wider. "Clandestine meetings, the threat of reprisals, sounds rather glamorous. Is this a male friend or female friend?"

"Male. He's training as a clothier, at Eglantine." I smiled. "He has made me some absolutely gorgeous gowns."

"Really? Perhaps you shall have to model them for me, so I can decide if I should visit him as well," I said, my words innocent but my thoughts of watching her dress and undress anything but.

"Oh, some of them would look very fetching on you, but I doubt they would fit properly." I teased him. Besides, his last could not have been as innocent as it had appeared on the surface. He had been flirting with me since the beginning, after all.

"True, but I could hope he made men's clothing that was just as nice if I liked the gowns," I pointed out.
I let my leg press a little tighter to hers.
"Or maybe I'm just hoping to take advantage of you in the midst of a wardrobe change."

A blush stained my cheeks, though I gave him a coy look. "You wouldn't truly take advantage of a young adept, would you Gabriel?" I asked, voice low and dusky. My leg moved a little against his, the friction sending a thrill through me.

"As often as possible," I replied, smiling with a mix of predatory intent and amusement. I reached across the small table and took her hand, letting my index finger stroke the inside of her wrist. "Would you mind if I did?'

"Not if it was after you and Donatien had everything settled." I replied with a smile, still flirting. But I meant it. I wasn't going to let a smooth talking Shahrizai screw up my entire life. No matter how much those eyes promised pleasure.

I couldn't help but smile wide.
"Smart as well as beautiful, no wonder you have such a following," I said, rather appreciating her resolve, even if it did rather make me want to test its limits.

"Don't say that to loudly." I said in a stage whisper, a smile still on my lips. It seemed my stance had been noted, which was well and good. "They might hear you."

Her words made me laugh, oh she was a darling wasn't she. I was rather certain that aside form our play, she had more than one heart tied with a string and stored in her treasure chest.
Our food arrived then, and I had to release her hand to make room for it on the table.
I inhaled deeply of the lovely scents. "This smells delicious."

His hand had been warm on mine, and my skin protested when it was gone. "It does indeed. I wonder if they had the smell of a warm meal at the perfume shop?" I asked before I tasted the first tortellini. "This is as good as it smells."

Using a fork I pulled a muscle from its shell and dipped it in the sauce before tasting.
"Mmm, so is this," I said after I'd swallowed. "Have you eaten here before or was it just another show of luck that we ended up here?"

"The Fates have been kind to us today." I replied with a smile and took another bite. Very kind.

"Yes, they have," I said, looking at her, my gaze openly desirous.
Then, with a smile I went back to my food.

His gaze made me blush and look down at my food. I could look into eyes filled with desire, but he was just so forthright about it, it made my blood burn.
"So what have you done lately, to so earn their favour?" I was flirting again, and it gave me enough sensibility back to meet his eyes again.
