He did not wear his scarlet coat; for blood and wine are red...

Darren got lost in her eyes, he had never seen the color like hers. It reminded him of a sunset, but he wasn't sure why. He studied the different strokes of color in the pupils and the almost invisible blood veins in the whites. They were really perfect eyes. Just like the rest of her.

He was about to study the rest of her face when the waitress arrived. "Hello, my name is Sam and I will be your server today. What drinks can I get you?" She asked in a pleasant voice.

"I'll have a coke." He told her with a smile, then looked at Nimue.
"Even the voice in my head isn't making sense today."

A... coke.

"... I'll have a 'coke' too, please," she said hurriedly as she noticed the waitress follow Darren's lead and look at her expectantly. She hoped whatever a coke was, it would taste good - and safe.

"This is a... nice place," she managed awkwardly as Sam walked away.

Darren smiled at Nimue, looking up at Sam as she set down two menus for them. "I'll be right back." She said with a smile before she walked behind the counter and then back into the kitchen.

He smiled back at Nimue, seeing Jerry looking at them from across the restaurant. He folded his hands on the table, suddenly self conscious. "It is, the family who owns it are very nice." He said with another smile. At this rate his face will hurt by the end of the night.

"Oh, you know them?" Nimue asked, offering a smile. She could smell something cooking in the kitchen, but she wasn't sure what - and she could also smell something acrid. Jealousy?

She glanced at the male that appeared to be staring at them and bit her lip. Uh oh. She began to consider leaving - surely staying was unwise. She'd dragged this charade far enough ---

--- but to look at Darren across the table, smiling so hopefully at her... It made her heart hurt. And she'd been wondering lately if she even had one, so it almost felt good. She liked him. She liked him a lot... Did he really like her, or just her kumiho's beauty?

"Oh yeah, me'n Jerry go way back." He grinned over at his friend who quickly returned to work. He could see she was slightly uneasy now. "Don't worry about him. He's just not used to seeing me with beautiful women...." He trailed off, realizing what he said. Hopefully she wouldn't think badly of him for saying it.

"So...what are you thinking about getting?" He asked her, looking down at his menu, embarrassed. His ears had started getting warm and he realized he was blushing like a moron again.

I'm not really beautiful, I'm magic, she thought morosely, staring at the menu.

At his question she perked up, startled. "Huh? Oh - uhm, I'm - I'm not sure. What... would you recommend, Darren?" She flushed at the soft use of his name, offering a shy smile. Wow, she felt so different when she was around him...

Hearing her say his name like that sent an alien thrill down his spine. He cleared his throat, scanning through the menu. "The sandwiches are really good, and so are the salads. I'd stay away from the burgers unless you have a tolerance for excessive grease..." He advised. "The melts are extremely good too." He added, flipping over the page in the menu. Thinking about all of these meals made him realize how hungry he still was. He licked the side of his lips, thinking about cheating and getting one of the appetizers before the meal.

Did he have enough money for that? Darren did the math in his head and smiled slightly. Yup. Still with a few bucks to spare in case she wanted to get something too.

"Oh, okay." She stretched lightly, looking at the menu. What would a human get? She wondered, almost wailing inwardly. The waitress chose that time to come back - and Nimue stared at the glasses she set down. They looked like oil, almost - but they smelled like sugar, and they fizzed!

She was reaching a cautious hand out to it when Sam spoke. "You folks decided yet?"

Darren glanced around the menu a few more times, looking up when Sam returned. "I'm ready, are you?" He asked looking at Nimue, seeing her look at the Coke she got like she'd never seen one before. It made him curious as to why that was.

(lack of brain power)

"Uh - uh, yes," she lied, though she wasn't, not really. She glanced down at the menu and picked something at random - a grilled cheese sandwich. Maybe it'd taste good. She glanced at Darren, then up at Sam. "Um- a grilled cheese sandwich, please..."

Sam nodded, and Nimue breathed a sigh of relief.

Silently, she picked up the glass and sniffed it - then bit back a surprised giggle as bubbles got up her nose. Placing her hand over it quickly, she took a cautious sip. Her eyes widened, and she began to drink it down steadily, stopping to sneeze daintily as bubbles flooded her nose again.

Darren couldn't help but watch when she sniffed the drink. So maybe it was the first time she had ever had a carbonated beverage. He grinned at the thought, and it widened slightly when she took a drink and her eyes lit up. "I'll have the roast beef melt. With no onions please." He said with a smile. She nodded, and wrote it down. "Oh, and can I get the mozzarella cheese sticks?"

"For a side or as an appetizer?" She asked.

"Appetizer." He replied. She nodded and took up their menus.

"I'll get your food out as soon as I can." She said and then walked away. Darren took a long drink from his soda, hiccuping slightly after he had set his drink down.

She smiled across at him.

"This is good," she offered, holding up the 'coke.'

She liked the way it fizzed, and paused to watch the little bubbles jumping into the air before taking another sip. "So who is this 'Jerry'?" She asked, without any other idea of what to talk about.

He returned her smile about her comment, nodding thoughtfully. "It's my preferred drink other than Mountain Dew." He said, glancing over to the side of the restaurant where Jerry was chatting with other patrons.

"He was my neighbor growing up. He was a strange kid, but he out grew his mischievous behavior, I suppose." Darren grinned slightly. "We both did I guess." He added.

"We went to school together and stayed friends even after college." He said glancing over at his friend again. "But don't worry, he's harmless."

"Oh, wow, then you guys must be really close...?" She ended the statement as a question, unsure of how else to do it. With a light smile, she glanced at Jerry. "Harmless? As opposed to...?"

In the world of magic, nothing was harmless. Everything had to be taken as a danger.
In nature, nothing was harmless. Even a snapped twig could mean you alerted predators to where you were. Lingering too long at a pond could kill you.

So she wasn't so sure she liked the sound of 'harmless.'

"We aren't as close as we used to be." Darren replied, offhandedly. It was just a matter of they had things to do in their lives, not like anything was wrong. It was a gradual thing.

"Opposed to?" Darren asked, a little surprised. He wasn't to really explain what he meant. "He might be a little threatening at times, I suppose. He is a big boy after all. But he is more like a teddy bear." He explained, confused by her question. Wasn't that like, general knowledge?
