New Tenent

[Alucard]

Alucard came up beside Cassie as she was looking over a list she had in her hand. “Well your friend is a very nice lady. She wouldn’t let me pay for the Astrolabe and recommended you as the person to restore it.” said Alucard as moved his hand to her waist to guide her in the direction of the limo. “So where would you like to have dinner?” he asked her once she had started moving toward the limo, the driver was already opening the door for them.

[Cassie Hunter]

Cassie almost jumped when Alucard came up behind her and started talking as she had not heard him coming out of the shop or up to her "Haven't you ever been told not to sneak up on people "she said with a smile "you scared me a bit there" she said while trying to get a bit away from his hand - it was cold - and she hadn't been wearing too many clothes. while still going in the direction of the limo. When she got to the door - she immediately began climbing in still talking "and as for dinner - I am really not dressed for anythingbut take-out really" while she sat down she tried to make her point obvious by pointing out she was wearing jeans, heels and a turqoise shirt.

[Alucard]

“Well I am a bit overdressed for take out,” Alucard replied as he indicated his immaculate dark grey suit with black pinstripes, a grey shirt with a black tie with diagonal gray stripes “but I think we can find a casual dining restaurant.” removing his jacket and tie.

[Cassie Hunter]

"One thing you need to know is that you're never overdressed for take-out, it is simply impossible." Cassie said and felt a smile beginning to take over her expression eventhough she tried to be serious "other than that try asking your driver for any tips on restaurants." After she had suggested that she began moving to him until she was right next to him and said almost whispered into his ear "besides both the jacket and tie did look really good on you."

[Alucard]

“That is true, but usually when I think of take out it brings to mind Chinese food. What do you think of that for take out? Thank you for the compliment, but I compared to you I am just a drab piper, even though you are wearing jeans and a shirt, you still look good.” Alucard replied as he took in her smells. He could smell the flowery scent of her shampoo and the briefest hint of her perfume subtle, but his scenes could detect it.

[Cassie Hunter]

Cassie felt a warmth spreading up her cheeks and knew she was blushing "I never eat Chinese - I never found out how to use the chopsticks" she said while feeling a bit ashamed since it was obviously normal that you ate Chinese when getting take-out.

[Alucard]

She was blushing thought Alucard as the blood rush up to fill her pale cheeks, it made her face light up and brought a smile to his face. “Well I never was good with chop sticks myself, but I figure if I continue to try then one day I will be able to all of my food with my chopsticks without having to resort to a fork. Well everyone needs to start somewhere, so Chinese then?”

[Cassie Hunter]

"okay " she said then hesitated a bit - "but you will need to help me with them" Cassie said putting on a smile while she still felt a little warm from blushing.

[Alucard]

Alucard turns his gaze from Cassie for just a moment as he tells the driver that they will be going for Chinese. “I will be happy to help you learn how to use chop sticks, but just in case we will have some forks handy in case things don’t go well.” He said while winking at her.

[Cassie Hunter]

"how could things not go well when I got such a skilled teacher " she started teasing lightly.

[Alucard]

Alucard burst out in a fit of laughter as look at Cassie, " I may be many things, but a teacher I am not. he said as he brought his laughter under control, but for you I will try my best. It had been to long since someone make Alucard laugh and a woman who he barely knew was getting him to. Since becoming a vampire the simple joy of laughter seemed to be beyond him, he was glad that a part of him could still be reached as burst into laughter once more at such grim thoughts.

[Cassie Hunter]

Cassie kept smiling and was beginning to be happy that they were in the limo so they ddn't attract too attention - or at least she didn't feel people staring at her "hm ... then I hope Chinese is just as good when eaten using the fingers cause I really don't feel like doing dishes again tonight." she said and topped it off with a dramatic sigh "my hands have just been 'un-raisined'."

[Alucard]

Laughing at her joke about her hands Alucard looks at them intently, “I think your hands our lovely and I am sure you won’t be doing dishes tonight. And if you can work with fine jewelry then mastering chopsticks will be a breeze for you. I am positive that you will be eating with them better than I can. Turning toward the driver Alucard asks if he knows of any good Chinese restaurants in the area. The driver simply nods his head and tells the Alucard and his guest that there is a good restaurant about twenty minutes from where they were now. He eats their all of the time. “How’s that sound to you?” he asks as he turns once more toward Cassie.

[Cassie Hunter]

"... sounds good - and the food shouldn't be poisonuos since your drive is still alive... " she stared for a short moment before snapping out of it again "I'm certain that chopsticks and jewellery aren't the same ... but I won't judge or anything before I tried it ... at least not the chopsticks - they deserve a chance" she said cracking a smile

[Alucard]

“…Well you may be right in that regard, but they do require great dexterity, to manipulate them. So will you be able to pick up the other things on your to do list, before the shops close for the evening?”
