"They always favor me, how could they not?" I replied, grinning. "What have you done to have them act so kindly?"

"I live a very virtuous life." I said, sticking my nose up in the air for show. "I indulge only seldom, I follow all the rules, and I never let me charm me."

"I thought you were Cereus, not Dahlia," I teased.

"I must admit, the opposite is much closer to the truth." I replied with a coy smile.

"Is that so?" I asked, smiling. "Any Jasmine in you?"

My smile didn't falter. I was quite proud of myself. "As a matter of fact, yes." I told him, taking another bite of the pasta.

Ah, I think I would have pulled a muscle trying to stop myself from asking the next question so I didn't bother trying to stop.
"Ever had a Shahrizai in you?"

I was instantly a lovely, vivid shade of scarlet. But my leg didn't pull back from his, and when I spoke, my voice was more even than I had thought it would be. Though I still barely spoke above a whisper. "I have not had the pleasure."

"Well then, we may have to see what we can do about that someday," I said, smiling and then turning my attention back to my food.

The tease. It made me smile again, which I hid by concentrating on my own food. "I would hardly be against the idea." I offered helpfully.

"I will keep that in mind," I told her as I tore off a piece of bread and dipped it in the sauce on my plate. "Oh yes, that is a rather appealing idea."

I finished my tortellini with another smile. His timing was impeccable. If he had pushed me too far, and our meeting could have ended without being polite to each other for too much longer. As it was, I was eager to make that someday rather soon.
"Do you have appealing thoughts very often?"

"That would depend on who you ask," I replied, grinning and leaning back in my chair. "I find them appealing, but some others find me unbearable."

"But how could anyone find you unbearable?" I asked with a teasing smile.

"That what I want to know too!" I said, looking bewildered.
The serving girl came to clear the dishes and I asked for the bill.
"You don't find me unbearable, do you?" I asked, turning my attention back to Nyx.

"If I did, I would have found an excuse to leave you to your own devices by now." Admitting how much I did like his company was not my style. There was more of my mother in me than I really thought about. The server returned with the bill, and I reached for my money pouch, not knowing how generous this charming man in front of me was.

"Don't you dare," I said, playfully scowling as she reached for her coins.
Pulling out my own money, I left enough for the bill and a generous tip.
"May I escort you home?" I asked Nyx, smiling.

I laughed at his mock scowl, holding up my hands in surrender. "I'd like that." I replied, still smiling as we rose from our little table. "Thank you Gabriel."

Picking up her little crate, I offered her my other arm.
"I hope you enjoyed your meal," I said, smiling as we left the café.

"The food was good, and the company better. What more could a girl ask for?" I replied with a smile, my hand tucking securely into his arm. We left the cafe and started down the street in the general direction of Mount Nuit.

Chuckling at her words, I replied, "I don't know, but I'm sure there's some. What is it you want from your life, Nyx?"

I paused before replying. "Love, laughter. To make my marque." I shrugged slightly. "I have a little while to figure out specifics."

"Those are all good things, have you found any of them yet?" I asked curiously.

"I have enough to make my first trip to the marquist." I told him with a smile.

"Congratulations," I told her, smiling. "After you have it done, we will have to arrange for you to show it to me, and perhaps earn enough for another trip."

"So would I," I told her as we began the ascent up the hill to the Night Court. "You are thoroughly delightful."

I smiled again, thoroughly pleased by the compliments. "I'm glad you find me so. I'm even more glad I find you rather delightful in return."

I giggled. "Don't tease, I've heard too many horror stories."
