"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?" |

Perry bounces down from Horus's shoulder and cocks its head at the plate, taking it in from several angles. Finally, it snaps and gives an appreciative squawk. "Sure." Horus finishes up writing and slides the paper and pen her way. "Uh, hope you don't mind the... uh, falcon." Edited by Velvien, Feb 24 2014, 07:05 PM.

Creda neglected to tell Horus that the bird was already the best conversationalist she'd met all day and took both paper and pen from him. Underneath his response she wrote in neat letters, As the other party in this 'date', I would like to inform you that if I am ever made aware of your identity, I will have you dragged into the nearest prison cell and interrogated brutally until your genitals wither away, so that you may never pollute the gene pool. You have been given fair warning. She slid it back to him. "With any luck, he or she will keep the 'amazing advice' to themselves from now on." |

"Yeah, really. Just some guy I work with in the guard. Sure as hell won't be following advice like "come off as stupid to make her feel smarter" anymore." Horus smirks a little at her postscript and does his best to hold in a chuckle. As he lifts the letter, Perry reciprocates by lifting its leg, and Horus ties the letter. As the bird flies off, Horus rubs the back of his head. "So... uh..." |

Creda looked after the bird as it flew away. She missed it already. "I still think you're an idiot." she said finally. "Granted, for different and at somewhat more acceptable reasons. But still an idiot. What made you think that advice was worth even hearing, much less putting to use?" |

Horus winces at the word 'idiot', but makes no attempt to deny it. This entire thing was pretty damn stupid, after all. "Because I have no idea how to talk to girls at all like this because I never got the chance at the Convent, and the guy's always out on dates and stuff, so... uh... I figured he might be worth talking to?"

Creda winced. "There's a man who uses these techniques, and is successful?" She covered her face with her hands. "I fear for the future of Reliquus. I may have to carry out my threat after all." |

Horus sighs. How the hell did that guy succeed? "Yyyeah... I guess he's just badgering them until they cave and accept." He pauses, grimaces and facepalms. "...And now I realize how bad of an asshat I came off as at first. I'm so sorry I put you through that." |

"Apology accepted." Creda said calmly. She laid her knife and fork on the plate with a light click and wiped her mouth with her napkin before folding it and tucking it under the cutlery. "I don't think that any more time needs to be wasted, do you?" |

"Agreed." Horus lays his silverware down on his plate as well. So that sucked overall. Joy. "Right then. I'll go ahead and pay. Hope the rest of your day goes better than this did." |

"I hope both of our days improve." Creda said calmly, standing up. True to her word, she tallied up half the bill in her head and took out her wallet. She held up a hand to stop him before he could start. "I insist." she said. She put down her half of the bill before bowing stiffly and taking her leave. The EHW vroomed past. (End scene?) |
