New Tenent

[Alucard]

Kato had began to pull the limo over to the side of the road in front of his favorite restaurant The Flying Dragon. "If you would liked a suggestion sir on what to try. I high recommend to you and the lady Shigami Chicken, but I must warn you that it very spicy.", he told Alucard as he brought the limo to a stop.

"I happen to like spicy foods, Kato. I think I will try it. How does that sound to you, Cassie?" Alucard asked as he turned once more to face her. She seemed to be more composed now and it brought a smile to his face.

[Cassie Hunter]

"I don't know - I never really ate very spicy food" Cassie admitted and smiled inwards "... but I think I'll just try whatever is recommended... I usually don't eat Chinese."

[Alucard]

"Well Kato, it seems that your recomendation is what is on the menu for tonight." Alucard told his driver, to Cassie he said in a much lower voice, that only she could hear "..but just in case it is too spicey for you will we'll get some other items too.:"

[Cassie Hunter]

"hm" had been her entire answer as she moved towards the door - she was counting on them getting the food themselves and then hopefully driving back so she could convince him to let her see the view on the roof.

[Alucard]

"If I had been thinking we could have called ahead and placed our order for pickup" Alucard told Cassie as he followed her out of the car, "but it seems it will a few more minutes before we can enjoy our rooftop dining. Hopefully we can have our takeout and be headed home quickly."

[Cassie Hunter]

"Don't worry - at least I don't have to do the cooking " she said and looked abit at her hands - she had always been ashamed of her lacking culinary skills.

[Alucard]

Laughing as they headed for the entrance to The Flying Dragon, Alucard pulls up beside her and says, "Well I will just have to make you my one of my world famous dishes, of course it is only known to a few people in the world, namely me!" pointing to himself.

[Cassie Hunter]

Cassie gave alittle laugh and said "okay - that I'll have to do sometime" then turned her attention towards the menu "so what should I order - I ... um... usually never eat chinese..."

[Alucard]

"Well I guess I will have to prepare one of my specialties then, but for now, I think I will go with Kato's suggestion and have the Shigami Chicken, plus some spring rolls and I think a bowl of egg drop soup. So have you decided Cassie, I think the shrimp and vegetables sounds tasty.

[Cassie Hunter]

"Okay - I'll just take that and eat your food if it isn't enough ..." she said on the verge of going into a laughing fit at his expression...

[Alucard]

Alucard looked surprised at Cassie suggestion if her dish wasn't enough to fill her up she would happily share his meal with him. the look of surprise wasn't from her suggestion that she would share his food, but the fact that she seemed at times shy and timid, but also bold and outgoing brought a smile to his face, much like her sound of her laughter could lighten the mood in the most gloomy of places. "That will be fine then,." Alucard said to her as he turned to the cashier to place their order. "This will be to go," glancing at menu once more before placing their order with the cashier.

[Cassie Hunter]

Cassie stood quiet while they waited and looked around the restaurant - she wasn't really used to this kind of restaurants - with the Chinese and the colours and the decorations - she had never been inside a restaurant like this - and it infatuated her now.

[Alucard]

Alucard watched silently as Cassie took in the atmosphere of the restaurant, it was plain to Alucard that her mind was at work, in examining the Chinese decor of the restaurant. the foyer was decorated with two huge vases, that resemble vases found during the Ming Dynasty. Alucard was no art aficionado, but he remember that the Ming Dynasty created great works of arts and vases. Behind the foyer was the entrance to the dining area which two pillars reached to the ceiling. On the pillars themselves were two dragons wrapped around each of the pillars reaching skyward, one red, one black. Looking toward Cassie, he asks "Working Cassie?" as she continue to look at the restaurant decor.

[Cassie Hunter]

Cassie blushed immidiately at his comment mainly because she knew how true was ... and also because nobody had ever commented or had the chance to comment on her "passion" for her work "not alot ..." she said "... I've never dealt much with things from the far east" then leaned ina dn whispered "I have a feeling most of these things are copies ..."

[Alucard]

"I was just thinking ," replied Alucard as he watched Cassie beginning to brush as if he caught her in an indecent moment, "these vases reminded me of one I saw in San Francisco, while at a seminar, except you are right in that these are copies of the raal one." he told her in the same whipered tone that she had used. "An associate of mine has one which had been in his family for several hundred years and is currently on loan to the San Francisco Art Museum for exhibition. It is nice to meet someone who takes her craft seriously, even in things that are not in her realm of expertise."
