I came to say hello.

[blindpuppet]

[A lot is changing for Enis in a very short period of time. Freedom has its own cost and she's paying for it in full. With her fathers current work destroyed and his notes locked within her head she takes flight with a few samples and materials. Her destination is Seattle.

When she arrives she's wearing a black tank top, dark jeans and combat boots. She's never been allowed the chance to have style and despite the amount of cleavage showing, getting into this club in a usual way would be difficult. Vibrant blue eyes stare at the guard at the door as she steps forward. There is a large black dufflebag in her hand and she walks with the sort of confidence that many yearn for. Enis pauses in front of the werewolf, her expression serious.]

James Taylor, Born in 1982 in Asheville North Carolina, Social Security number 116-47-4831. I am here to see Clayton Young.

Take me to him.

[Her voice is firm and only loud enough for her and the werewolf to hear. She isn't going to broadcast any information about him unless he gives her trouble.]

Or do I need to tell you about your boss too?

Comments

[alwaysinhisshadow]

[An easy smile teased his lips as he watched her speak. She had a strange grace to her he found both attractive and intriguing.]

Then it is a pleasure to make your acquaintance, Enis.

[Almond eyes gaze into her's for just a moment.]

You have beautiful eyes.

[blindpuppet]

[Enis can understand basic things: pleasantries, social structures and other concepts that are easily explained through the written word. She doesn't understand compliments. Her lips part, her brow furrowing slightly as her reply slips through her fingers like shifting sand.]

That's one way to describe them.

[When she finally replies her words are short and her demeanor defensive.]

[alwaysinhisshadow]

[That's an interesting reaction, he smirks, standing more confidently, but leaning ever so slightly closer to her.]

I could be more descriptive. They're the color of light through sheets of ice. Enchanting, really.

[blindpuppet]

[Enis is slowly losing her footing in this conversation. More than anything she wants to leave but she's finding that task increasingly more difficult with each passing second.]

Do you stare at sheets of ice often?

[alwaysinhisshadow]

[That playful smirk never left his lips.]

I've found a few sheets rather recently I could star into for quite some time.

[blindpuppet]

[Her gaze slowly becomes more quizzical, almost curious at the direction of this conversation. They aren't really saying anything and yet the weight of unspoken words settles between them. She can't say it's something she's enjoying because this situation, unlike what she's used to, isn't like her work.]

You should do that.

[And she should go but something about this conversation has her rooted to the spot. Loud music blared behind her and yet its easy to hear the vampire. Her own voice is probably softer than most can hear but she makes no effort to speak in a louder tone. Enis simply assumes that he can hear her.]

[alwaysinhisshadow]

[He smiles, leaning closer toward her.]

That will be difficult if you were to leave...unless you're inviting me back to your hotel.

[blindpuppet]

[Her expression becomes more guarded as he continues to step forward. She can't move and this situation is becoming slightly alarming. She quickly begins to shift through websites in her head as they talk.]

That wasn't my intention. [She isn't thinking about anything like that and it takes her a moment to see how he got to that conclusion.]

I'm sure you have plenty of ice to get you through the night here.

[alwaysinhisshadow]

And I'm sure it will pale in comparison. [He continues to smile but moves away from her. He can tell when someone's getting nervous.]

Enjoy the rest of your evening, Enis. It was, indeed, a pleasure.

[blindpuppet]

[She doesn't know if she should feel happy or sad that he's retreating.]

I'm sure it was.

[She takes that as her cue and turns back towards the door. She'll be returning the next night and she's worried that he'll have more questions for her then.]
