"Man...this sector's so confusing..." Somewhere in the heart of Reliquus's 5th sector, a straw-haired young man leaned back against a pole. He sighed. Well, that had been a nice waste of an hour. And he was still no closer to figuring out just where this rendezvous point was supposed to be. Well, better bite down his pride as city guardsman and ask someone Maybe someone such as that chick on the nearby bench. With a lazy stretch, we wandered over and sat on the bench with a grin. "Hey there. You know how to get to a restaurant called Marleducci's?" Creda had her eyes closed as she gently whispered to herself. The words were Latin, or a close approximation thereof, and she continued to spill them off her tongue as if they we- [[...curse it.]] She opened her eyes and faced towards the boy, eyes completely white with no pupil visible. "Third left. Now please leave me alone." "Third left?" Horus blinked. He could've sworn he'd been down that way at least five times. "Huh, must;ve missed it. Ah well. You mind showing me? I could buy you something for your trouble if you'd like." "...you're seriously going to lead with that?" "No idea what you mean. Just seeing if a beauty like yourself would be interested in a bite to eat. As thanks, of course." Creda started to rub her forehead and looked away. "Please leave me alone, I do not wish to continue this." ...Shit, he was losing her... "...Sorry, we were busy? Maybe another time, then? Or, uh..." And then...something strange happened. The sun parted in the clouds slightly, highlighting Horus...and ONLY Horus. Creda looked at the boy...then the sky...then the boy again. [[....Fate is laughing at me.]] "...one meal." "Yes!" Horus did a fist-pump...then caught himself. Rubbing the back of his head, he chuckled nervously. "Uh...I mean, you up for it now?And...uh, sorry. Never caught your name." "...Creda Shields. Second Seat in the Church of the Unbroken Chain." The girl introduced herself, giving her full title as well. Maybe that could get him to show her a bit more respect. "Jacob Horus, former templar-in-training in the Horus Convent, currently current lieutenant in the Reliquus City Guard." He smiled at her. "Nice to meet you." Creda raised an eyebrow. "...the Horus Convent? And you wish to be seen speaking to a Seat in the Broken Chain? I see why you are a former templar." "...Yeah, so I got booted for being a dumbass." He indicated a long spear strapped across his back, golden and quite shiny. "Least I kept the spear. Supposed to be a relic or something." "It's a Solar Spear. Don't you know anything about your own religion?" "Details are kinda fuzzy for me." Horus looked away. "Which...may be another part of why I got kicked. Kinda hard to be a templar without knowing a damn thing about the religion..." Creda just stared at him. "You're an idiot. Aren't you?" "...Maybe." She looked at him. Cold white eyes glared into him. Horus raised his hands defensively. "Hey, what's with the look? Um...it's not that big a problem I used to be in the convent, is it?" ...Why did he get the feeling things had just turned very, very wrong? Creda just shook her head and glared off to the side. She couldn't be doing this. "...I promise one meal. I am Fated for this now...but I must not be seen talking with the pathetic remnants of one of the Convent." "...Right. Want to get going?" He smirked at her. "And maybe at some point I could check out your church. See how inviting it is. Because so far, seems like something I;d be interested in." "....You *are* an idiot." "Again: Maybe. But it's the good type of idiot, right?" Creda just sighed in exasperation and shook her head again. If she didn't believe in signs and having to follow them to the letter. "Follow me, Templar." Tsupreme Fanboy Velvien: Horus rose and stetched, suppressing his grin the best he could. Holy crap, he'd actually gotten a date. Kinda. It counted, right? "Right behind ya, Creda." Creda just walked forward, cursing her lot in life. Though...this could be an oppurtunity to probe what little kowledge he DID know to aid her religion in their quest to usurp the Templars... "So, uh..." Horus rubbed the back of his head as he followed her. Force himself to talk, not stare at her like a creep. "You said you're the second...seat of the church? I know I'm probably sounding like a dumbass, but what's that mean?" |

Horus bites his tongue; complimenting Creda's 'sparkling eyes' would be somewhat inaccurate and sure to go over badly. "I'll have some coffee, myself." |

"Right away!" the waitress chirped. She scribbled this down and dashed away. "Excuse me, you forgot to-" Creda managed to get out before she watched Eerily Happy Waitress, or EHW for short, dodging between tables and other servers and away from them, "...take our actual orders." She looked over at Horus, now more confused by the EHW than annoyed at his failed flirtation. "Is this a normal occurrence in this establishment, do you know?" |

"With her? Yeah. She's always been a bit ditzy. Kinda frustrating, since she does tend to flub orders, but she's real nice. Very friendly, and will talk your ear off." Horus chuckled and rubbed the back of his head. "But like I said, ditzy. One time, we were supposed to meet for lunch, and... well, about three hours later, found her on the other end of town. Apparently, she was distracted by a kitten." |

"If you know that her service is dreadful, why would you come he-" Creda stiffened, and turned her head. The EHW was directly behind her, smiling a hole in the back of her head. Creda raised her eyebrows, more than a little put out by this. "Yes...?" "I brought your water." the EHW whispered. She held up a small tray that had a pitcher of sparkling water with ice cubes bobbing at the top, accompanied by a slice of lemon, and a chilled glass beside it. Creda accepted this offering, rather warily. "...thank you?" "You're welcome, madam!" And with that, the EHW was off again! Creda put the tray on the table. "And it only took three hours to find her?" |

"By luck, yeah. Saw her climbing down from a tree that the kitten was apparently in, so we went for ice cream instead." Horus grimaced and averted his gaze. "I... wouldn't really call her service 'dreadful'. It usually comes out fast enough. It's just... uh... unique." As if on cue, the waitress seemed to materialize behind him and set down his coffee. She beamed wide and close-eyed at the two of them. "Ready to order?" Edited by Velvien, Feb 18 2014, 12:25 AM.

Unique wasn't the word Creda would have used. There were many, many words that she would have, and very few of them were complimentary. Oh well. The woman was fast, she could appreciate that at least, and the faster Creda was served, the faster she could get out of this cul-de-sac ditch of a conversation. She laid her menu on the table and tapped the item she wanted. "The salmon appetiser, with brown bread, please." It was only a small dish, which was exactly the point. Perhaps it was Fate that she owed him one meal, but Fate never specified on how much of a meal that had to be. |

"Hmm..." Horus scoured the menu as quickly as he could. "Fish and seafood sounds real good right now. I'll have the shrimp cocktail myself. White bread on the side, please." |

The waitress made a sweeping gesture in the air as she finished writing that down, her arm going out wide, her eyes following the tip of her index finger. "It will be ready..." She drew her hand in smoothly before stopping it between Horus' eyes. "In an instant." She skipped away. "That is a woman who will eventually poison us all." Creda said simply, wondering if perhaps she could convince him to test her food before she ate it. |

Horus just blinks. "...Okay, so maybe she's a little more loopy than usual today. If, uh, you want to go somewhere else... Nah, too late now. And I'd hate to take up more of your time." He leans back, relaxing and thinking. Okay. He got to the restaurant. What now? Talk, to a girl that clearly wants him dead? That's what happens on dates, right? "So... uh..." But it isn't like they've got anything to talk about. Or at least, nothing he can think of. |

Creda put her elbows on the table for a moment and rested her chin on her hands. "I have a question for you, ah...." Oh dear. She shifted in her seat, feigning that she hadn't already forgotten his name. "Indulge me with an answer, if you would. What exactly are you hoping to get out of this? What is the end that this is a means to?" |
