Welcome to Gaia! ::

"Oh, those were some of the first ones we learned. We put them on everything, I think." Delucca explained with a smile. "And yeah, I guess I could make money off of it. I tend to not worry about such things, I mostly do it for fun. I get a pretty good paycheck at my regular job."

So far, this seemed to be a pretty nice date. Greloren and Quill were pleasant and Delucca was actually having a decent time. And they hadn't even ordered yet. Though that may just be the staff being very busy.

"Well, that may be a way to get money off of people, but when it's a choice between suiting greed and getting something I worked hard on that is pretty much one of a kind destroyed, I choose to protect my creation." Delucca grumbled darkly. "My classmates may be able to make multiples of their work and repair it quickly with magic, but I have to work my a** off for what I make and I'm not about to destroy it to make a few quick bucks I don't need."

Honestly, it was a bit of a sore subject with her. Some of her classmates decided to pick on her for not being able to make millions of copies of whatever she made using magic.

Shaking her head quickly, she smiled a bit again. "Sorry about that. That part of the matter is always a bit sore with me."

The woman didn't hold the thing against him. He hadn't known, and it wasn't his fault anyway. Stupid stuff was stupid stuff, no need to let it nag too much.

"Well they have Voodoo Painting, Mystic Metalworking, and Charm Crafting. I don't quite know which I'd take, if any of them. They do sound interesting at the very least." she told him with a nod. "Oh and there's Underwater Basket Weaving or something to that effect. It sounded kind of funny."

"Yeah, the basket weaving thing sounded impractical and silly, but quite amusing. I hear the charm crafting class will involve jewelry making." She said with a nod.

Glancing down at Quill, the rainbow haired woman smiled. "Feeling left out there, hm?" she laughed, scritching him gently.

Taking a look around, she decided to comment on something she'd previously been thinking. "Does it usually take this long for them to take orders?"

Delucca's reasoning on what sort of things were made in a charm crafting class extended to about the same level, though that wasn't quite what the class was to be. However, she didn't have much time to consider that as the woman arrived at their table.

"I think I'll have a coffee with milk and sugar, and maybe I'll try a slice of that pie." she said with a shrug. The waitress didn't feel like being too hard on their server, the harried female reminding Delucca of quite a few of her co-workers on their first days. However, one to always like a little something sweet with her drink, she couldn't resist the pie. Though, hopefully, it'd be as good as the stuff at Sparkle till Wednesday.

"So, what sorts of books to you read?" she asked the man, turning back towards him after the waitress had left. He had mentioned liking those.

"Same here, sci-fi and fantasy. Though I do find that books on mythos and legends from other cultures to be quite fascinating to read every now and again." she commented with a smirk. "I read histories and some mysteries too-hell I'll try to read most anything."

A thought struck her then and she had to add "except romance novels-particularly the kind featuring milkmaids in flowy dresses on the covers. Those are just pointless and mind numbing." she made a bit of a face at that. "Disgusting."

Delucca laughed deeply at that. "Yes, that is one of the best times to read them. Or to read a mystery. It adds to the atmosphere of the whole thing." she agreed with a nod.

Surprisingly, at that point, their server was returning, carrying her tray rather awkwardly. The girl didn't seem experienced, and her technique for holding the thing and walking would require improvement. It was due to this that she ended up becoming unbalanced when she tried to move the tray to one hand so she could pass out it's contents to them.

Years of working in the business she had gave Delucca the insight to know exactly what was going to happen when the girl started to shakily transfer the tray as she walked. Almost instantly she was halfway on her feet, a quickly barked "Watch out!" as she took hold of the tray with one hand and the girl's arm with the other, in an effort to avoid the coming trouble.

Though Delucca managed to keep the girl from falling on their table and saved the drinks, the pie was another story. As that had been what the younger waitress had first removed, it ended up falling from her hand as she had begun to fall.

The end result of the whole fiasco was Delucca standing, knees bent, holding a tray above her shoulder with her left hand, and holding the other girl's shoulder to steady her with her right. It also resulted in the piece of pie separating from it's plate and landing on top of Quill, coating the gray dragon with Boston Cream Pie.

Delucca shook her head and sat down, taking her drink as well. She'd given the younger server a bit of advice about ways to improve her balance before handing the tray back and now she was content to sip her drink.

"Well, at least someone's enjoying himself." She said jokingly, glancing at the dragon. "You get a free slice of pie because of that mess. Silly thing." It was both honest amusement at the creature and an attempt to lighten the mood.
