Mercutio frowned. "hermanas?" he repeated a little confused. Oh well, didn't matter. He noticed an odd, yet very familiar air around Raven. It was the same as what happened to Niro when he hadn't fed for a while. Surely Raven could control herself, though. He sincerely hoped so.
"He's an interesting character. I've seen him around, though I don't recall actually speaking with him face-to-face. Apparently he watches you for a while in the form of a white owl, and is usually un-noticed. I wouldn't really know myself though, as far as I know it's a rumor. I never was fond of bird-watching. Though Jynelle here loves birds, don't you love?" the werewolf said to with a smile turning to the corsea who was nodding.
When Mercutio turned back to Lani, he noticed the strange colour of her eyes. "You have lovely eyes." He commented with with an intrigued expression.

"Okay well he didn't say hermana. He said baby. My li'yl baby sister. I guess I said the magics words, ey?"
Honestly, Lani didn't know that the other woman was a vampire, or this guy was a werewolf. They never before existed, to her, but recently, she was ready to expect ANYTHING. "...owl? AIIE, carajo, MUCHOS gracias, amigo. Now I'm gonna' be lookin' everywhere for some damn BIRD! Oi!" She'd probably end up staring at her window at night now, scared to see some bird hit the glass.
Her bangs were with a mind of their own, more off to one side than usual, covering one of her eyes. She kept flicking hair aside, until she finally tucked the large cluster of fuchsia behind her ear, tiny strands still managing to escape and touch against her cheek. Cheeks that gained a faint flush to the compliment paid. "Gracias... usually I am ridiculed for it. School was a pain in the butt, ya know? It's weird, 'cause my mother doesn't have 'em... never met mi padre before." She spat out the father title begrudgingly, obviously disliking this man because of the mere fact she's never seen him. "Not even in a picture," she whispered, sadly this time.

"He's only seen when he wants to be seen."
She murmured, having her thirst controled. It was easier as she only had half the dna for it...Now she knew she'd have to find someone later to quench the thirst.
She tipped her sunglasses down to take a better look at Lani's eyes. The most unusual of blue she saw. Asher's color was rare and enhanced because of his vampiric nature. This was different.
Brilliantly crimson eyes stared foreward as though she sought something.
"Ridiculed for your eyes? I've been ridiculed for everything..." Raven appeared young, but she had seen far more then any human should ever see.

"I wish I'd never laid eyes on my father... or that stupid mistress of his... It makes me sick to think he's still out there somewhere without suffering for what he did." Mercutio said in a rather angry tone. "If I knew where he was I'd ram a stake through his fu-..." The werewolf paused realising he was about to swear and shook his head, "I hope I never see him again. I already see too much of him appearing in my brother."
Jynelle blink. "Ridi-culed? What does that mean? I haven't learned that word yet." She asked looking up at Lani and then directed her attention to Raven, hoping one of them would explain it too her.

Raven looked to Jynelle and smiled softly.
"Ridicule means to be made fun of..."
She looked to Mercutio, turning that smile over. "Is that why Jynelle is in your life?" She asked. She couldn't help but be a little bit on the scholar side. A habit she had picked up from her grandfather..

Lani conversed with Mercutio has Raven explained the meaning of ridicule. "Ahh, sorry to hear that amigo. Mi padre left mi mama before I was born, so yah. I'd say 'better to have never known him,' but I really would have liked to know him. Just to meet him once would make me happy."
Lani tilt her head, looking at Raven, then to Mercutio, letting him talk. Work crossed her mind once. She should start her shift soon, but her boss wouldn't mind her visiting with customers. It was a good way to gain loyal customers, and she was good at that kind of thing!

Mercutio shook his head at Raven's question. "It's... a little more complicated than that..." He answered not wanting to explain more, "Let's just say I wasn't happy before she came along..." He looked up at Lani again with a somewhat saddened look in his eyes. "I wish my father had done that... left before I was born... then maybe my mother would have still been alive..." He said with a slight sigh, and a far away look on his face.
Jynelle smiled at Raven and then looked at Lani. "He doesn't like talking about his past. It pains him to think about." She said softly, giving the werewolf a hug. Mercutio smiled again and rested a hand on the corsea's head.
"It's alright. So what's your name?" He asked Lani as if the other conversation had never taken place.

"I know how he feels..."
She smiled softly and offered that companionship look to Mercutio, yet she too was curious to their bubbly friend.

Lani felt pity for Merc, but then brought back her usual bubbly state of mind, wanting people to cheer up, despite her own weird mood about her OWN past, or rather the past she knew nothing about. Oi, fathers.
"Oi, mi nombre? Es Lani! Sorry, I'm muy bueno at greeting people, bad at givin' mi nombre. I work here," she motioned to the guitar case on the ground by the table, she'd pretty much dropped them nearby to chitchat and babysit her orb all the while. It's any wonder people understand her, mixing english and spanish like a maniac.
"And what are the names of mi new amigos, ey?"

"My name's Raven."
She said softly, smiling. A new friend...bubbly and carefree but a new friend.
"Ussta lotha maelthra, he's currently at home."
She peeked at the orb and smiled. "Pretty little thing, your orb..."

"I'm Mercutio Jacklyn, everyone just calls me Mercutio though. It's a pleasure to meet you Lani." Mercutio said with a polite nod, "And I have to agree with Raven. Your orb is lovely."
"I haven't seen you here before. Are you new in town?" He asked trying to recall the last time he was in this particular cafe'. It was a while ago because he usually only went out at night and hardly anything was open then.

"Ehh, what's that 'sposed to mean," Lani said in confusion to the 'ussta lotha maelthra' bit from Raven. "y' gracias amigos! Though, I haven't seen any others to compare... don't they all look the same?"
"Anyhow I'm new to this part of town, I was commuting to work from the very edge of the neighboring town. Got kicked out of madre's house, yah? So I live here now, walking distance from work. It's nice... I don't regret the turnout since that loco letter showed up in mi hermana's crib."

Raven shook her head.
"Forgive me...sometimes my old tongue slips into my words. What I said was my little dragon. He too came from a sphere like the one you hold in your possession. Although he wasn't as pale in contrast....but still wonderful..."

Mercutio le out a slight yawn and stretched his arms up above his head.
"Sorry about that. I haven't slept in a few days." He apologized not wanting them to think he was getting bored of their conversation. His cravings were getting the better of him.
"All the orbs look different, yet similar at the same time. Jynelle's was green and brown with a leafy kind of texture in the center." He explained forgetting the corsea was still latched on to him. "Uh. You were kicked out?" he repeated raising an eyebrow.
She let go and took a seat a little further away. She now had a flute in her hand, which had apparently come out of Mercutio's pocket. He held the silver intrument to her lips and started to play a beautiful little piece she'd composed herself.

"Aaah... veo," Lani nodded in understanding. "But in what language, ey?"
She plucked her orb off the table ((not that I remember exactly where I last posted its whereabouts)), holding it in her palm, thumb stroking it gently. "So they DO look different, ah, veo."
Lani gazed at Jynelle and listened to the flute song for a moment, before smiling and staring at Mercutio, smile fading. "Ahh, si. Mi mama wasn't happy about hermana getting kidnapped. Not that I told her the real story. Not only would I have been kicked out, but sent to the loco-loonie-bin!"
