Nightfall: Chapter 3

"I have a certai. Affinity to werewolves." Dawn said.

(Sofia)
Certainly explains why you didn't kill me.

=I blink a couple times, but decide not to press the issue=

Could be any reason...

=I look around, spotting the restaurant from a distance=

We're just about there.

(C)

I sigh and rub my temple with my hands.

Sofia deserved better..

I sigh again and my mind wanders to Corner, my Father, and New Orleans.

Dawn started to slow down. "Alright " she said.

(Sofia)

=I look once again, and spot the restaurant=

There it is.

=I smile=

Just find a place to park. I'll do the talking.

Dawn parked right up front.
"Or I just do the talking. But alright."

(Sofia)

=I smile=

I'm almost a regular here, but thanks for the offer to help

=I walk up and the Matre d' recognizes me=

M: Ahhh, Sofia. Welcome once again. You have a guest, this time?

I do. But could you give me the usual?

M: Of course, my dear. You are one of our favorite patrons.

=I beckon Dawn=

Don't worry. I'll pay for everything.

"Now I'm worried about how I'm going to compensate you."

(Sofia)

=I smile=

Don't worry. Your thanks will be enough.

=I find a pair of chairs at a table, and take a seat in one of the chairs=

Go ahead and take a seat. Whatever you have is my treat.

=I smile=

"Uh-huh " she takes a seat. "Riiight."

(Sofia)

=I put on a mock hurt expression=

Just trust me on this.

=A waiter comes with my usual=

Ah...give the chef my regards.

=I smile=

Go ahead and have what you want. This is just a little something for myself.

Dawn chose a sandwhich.
"So. I'm Dawn, and I am a Nightbane."

(Sofia)

I gathered as much by your gear.

=I cock up an eyebrow=

But I suspect that you aren't exactly the model Nightbane.

"Was it the slavic symbol for Fallen engraved on my cheek or the fact you l, a werewolf, are succeeding in getting me into bed?" Dawn said, pokerfaced .

(Sofia)

=I smile=

I'd say it was all three.

=I chuckle lightly as I dig into my meal=

Dawn grinned, eafing her sammich
"Alright."

(Sofia)

And you wonder why I like this place.

=I grin=

It's inexpensive, quiet, and the food is good.

=I smile=

That, and I'm in great company.

"So much flattery." She blushed anyways. "I'm not the bsst company, conversation wise...I'm...usually quiet "

(Sofia)

=I smile=

It's quite alright.

=I keep my smile=

I suspect you have good reason to be that way.

"A reason you will not be privy to." She said simply.

(Sofia)

=I smile=

I won't pry. Some things are better left unsaid.

=I take a bite of the meat, nearly moaning in delight=

"And I won't dig into your past. Glad we have an understanding." Dawn said as she finished her food, falling silent.

(S)
=i look over at Anton=
You have fun dealing with whatever it was?

(Anton)

=I give a half hearted laugh=

Well, Laveau didn't go after me... but I got a decent shock.

=I sigh=

I had my daughter accost me at the cafe and deck me, threatened to kill me. But, overall, it was easy to deal with...

(Sofia)

=I nod, and resist sighing=

This should be a fun night...

=I finish my meal and beckon over the waiter, and he comes back with the check. I then take out the right amount of money, the waiter bidding us a good evening=

So...you want to go somewhere a bit less public?

(S)
=i look sideways at him=
Your daughter. Really.
