"So what's it like?" Lena asked, her eyes sparkling again. "You know, being worshiped. Do you feel invincible? I bet it's great for the self-esteem."

Adrian Darcy He sighed, looking into her eyes. "It's the most irritating thing in the world. At first, it was great! Then I realized, these people aren't worshiping me. They're worshiping their fear of what I'm capable of. They have this fixed ideal on who I am and what I can do, and it's like all the woman they give to me only want me because they want the ability to say that they "lay with the great Rider's Carrier". Don't get me wrong, the sex is great, the food is incredible, and the people adore me. But it's so isolating...so lonely, without a Companion." At the word "Companion", a flicker of pain shot through his eyes. Suddenly, Adrian sat up, trying to chuckle. "Look at me, complaining about being worshiped blindly."

Lena went still for a moment. "So you're saying... You need a girlfriend?" she asked quietly. Her eyes went alight with a bright flame she never thought she'd have again, and the flames were so strong that it traveled all the way to her arms and slammed her hands against the table, making the tableware shiver. "I'll be your matchmaker!" she smiled excitedly. She had done it numerous times and by God she would do it again! Besides, maybe seeing a loving couple would help her get over he-who-shall-not-be-named.

Adrian Darcy He sat back, raising an eyebrow. "Matchmaker? What makes you think I need help?" Before he could ask anything else, he thought to himself, then sighed. "Alright, alright, you can matchmake me. But no blondes, no blue eyes, no love of sex, no cute noses, NONE OF THAT. I want a girl that...well, that looks like you, but with a genius level IQ. If I have to explain things, I'll be pissed. Got it?"

Even though she smiled, Lena could feel her eye twitch a little. "You're saying I'm stupid?" she said in a happy but obviously infuriated tone. She was just about to give him a piece of the mind he undermined when another young man wandered over to the table and did it for her. She blinked in surprise for a second before nodding in agreement and leaning back at her chair. "Aha! At least there's one decent guy around here." she grumbled before turning back to the man, smiling at him. "Thanks for that. I'm buying lunch, so why not join us, eh?" she offered and motioned for him to take a seat.

Hearing the dog's name, Lena instantly froze. Oh that name, it brought back so many... painful.... memories. She stayed silent and still a full minute after the man asked his question, eventually realizing that she was being addressed and refocused on him with a small smile. "It's a free period for me." she said. "It's my last year here, I don't have many academics left, and it's not like the teachers care, right?" She leaned forward, curious at how he worded the question. "What about you? Shouldn't you be in class?"

She shifted uncomfortably in her seat. "Well you kinda did by telling me that I stink." she grumbled with the tiniest of pouts.

"  Jacques blushed and tried desperately to correct himself "O -oh no inside not mean it like zat! Its just zat ...my kind 'ave especially strong noses. We can smell anything from a person's choice of perfume, to ze people zey last came into contact with. Additionally ze human body releases a particular scent when an emotion is strong enough.Zat is partly how my kind is adept at hunting and tracking . Zat is also how I knew you were upset, I wasn't at all trying to insult you."

"Sure, we'll go with that." she said with a teasing smile. "So what is your kind anyway? Some kinda werewolf?" she assumed through the heightened senses and the adorable puppy in the man's arms.

"Oh, I guess this means I'm in the company of a royal then?" she smiled a little at him before looking back at the dog, wincing again when the name was mentioned. "Guardian? This little guy?" she scoffed and contemplated petting it or not. She wasn't really in the mood for getting her hand eaten. "Oh, my name's Lena, by the way." she murmured nonchalantly as she continued debating whether to touch the dog or not.

 Jacques smiled 'i am Jacques Dunois, from France" he tilted his head when he noticed her reaction to his dog "I guess you could say that, and don't worry ,Niko doesn't bite unless he perceives you as a threat. " He smiled "Unless you somehow manage to threaten my life, unlikely , he is as 'armless as any other puppy"
