It took Chel a moment but after some digging around she pulled out her wallet and began thumbing through it. It took a little tugging but she eventually pulled out a very faded and crinkled scrap of paper. It had a picture of an old ducati on it and Chel slid it over to Shun's side of the table.
"I want this pretty lady," she said with a tiny smile. "I always have. I dunno why." It was maybe the closest thing Chel had to a dream. She didn't really let herself dream often. Growing up in a bankrupt house meant you didn't get to dream. "I'd look good on one, I guess."
A lopsided grin. That was all Shun needed to know.

Shun peered at the photo, blinking.
"That looks like a custom bike," he remarked. He could be wrong, but the bare 'belly' of the bike made it seem that way in the least. It still perplexed him, the way she grinned over this thing.
He pushed the picture back towards Chel.

Chel shrugged. "I dunno, I just cut it outta a magazine when I was little. M'fine with any ducati- they make beautiful babes." Chel tucked the photo back into her wallet, back safe where it belonged.
At that time the waiter came to ask if they wanted any drinks and explained the gist of the free meal; they could order one set of food from the entree menu and one free drink. Anything else would cost them.
"Do you guys got Hi-C?" Chel asked, looking over the menu.
"We don't have Hi-C, is lemonade okay?"
"Yeah 'as cool. What you want, grumpy?" she looked to Shun.

A brow raised. She had that picture with her for years? No wonder it looked a little worn, but damn. This really was a sort of obsession then. And it was probably a good thing he didn't actually own a ducati. She probably would have really flipped over it then.
His attention shifted to the waiter as he came by to give them the run down of the meal. That was understandable enough.
A dirty look was shot towards Chel for the nickname. Always with those, much to his annoyance.
"Just tea will be fine."

As the waiter walked away her eyes flashed a yellow-and-pink color. Her vision focused a bit and-
"Damn. He's normal too. There's so many ********' normal people." She blinked and her eyes went back to their normal crystalline blue.
"I found a were guy the other day- that was cool." She looked back at Shun. "Anyways- what were you sayin'?"

Shun's expression darkened a bit as he saw Chel's eyes flash a different color briefly. He wasn't really sure how her eyes could tell her who was a were just from looking at them, when it wasn't quite time for the full moon yet. So once again, he was filled with suspicion. He just gave her a sort of hard look.
"I was not saying anything."

Chel was beginning to learn the nuances between Shun's glare and Shun's glare. Her arm was also beginning to burn a little.
"How come it bothers you?" she asked him, head tilting a bit to rest on her hands. "I wanna know so I can stop botherin' you. Yer givin' me some angry eyes right now."

"You already know why," Shun stated quietly. He thought he explained himself the last time they had gone over this, "Considering the nature of it, I doubt there is anything you can do about it now."
Unless she had a way of getting rid of the tattoo and the powers it seemed to bestow her.
He shrugged and looked up as their drinks were brought to him. A curt nod was given to the waiter in thanks as he went ahead to take a careful sip of his tea.

Chel was quiet while their drinks were brought, putting her lips on her lemonade instead. She didn't really mind talking about All-Seeing in public (she didn't think anyone would remember their conversation let alone take it seriously) but she did know Shun was touchier about it so she restrained for now. The waiter went on to explain their options. Chel ordered a seafood based set of items and then looked to Shun for his.
Once Shun had ordered and the waiter was gone, Chel let go of her drink. "S'not like he can see us now or nothin'. He can only see stuff when I use those eyes." She really didn't get what set Shun so on edge about it.

"Are you certain about that?" he asked carefully. He wasn't so certain about that. If the creature had to rely on Chel to activate the ability to peek into this world, it really wouldn't get to see a whole lot. Just snippets here and there, whenever the girl decided to check if someone's a** was magical.
That seemed counter-intuitive. Even if it truly was just 'curious'.

Shun folded his arms, watching her as he thought this over. He was still skeptical about it. Paranoid.
"Never use it around me again."
That was something in the very least. He still didn't like it. But even if the All-Seeing didn't need her to trigger it first to peek into this world, it would at least limit her use a little more.

Chel nodded. "Alright. I'll ask you f'it's important enough t'use." It was ... disappointing. She felt caged by his attitude towards her decisions, but she treasured what friendship they did have too much to fight about it.
She sagged a little in her chair afterwards though. "How's sleep been? Any better?"

It was probably not going to come up anytime soon. He could be wrong, however. There were others who could detect magic without need of having another entity see through their eyes. But if they weren't around... Well he would get to that when it came up. For now, he didn't want anything to do with it, though.
"Somewhat better. Could still use improvements," he shrugged. Shun wasn't quite as sleep deprived now as he was a few weeks ago. That said, he probably still wasn't getting quite as much rest as he needed.
He dealt with it either way.

"I was kinda ... surprised," she said leaning forward on the table, putting her chin in the palm of one hand. "You fell asleep real quick that one night." Chel still wasn't sure if it had been anything she'd done or if he was just too ******** tired to fight it at that point.
"M'happy t'do that again f'it helps."
