"Ok, find me a nice secluded place to make us lunch and ill do it. or would you rather sit down to eat?"
She swung her legs in a carefree manner.

"Hmm..." Zeruel thought for a second, sitting down next to Nara at the fountain. "I think if we walk away and come back from an alleyway with food, someone might think something is going on, however, if we 'pull' the lunch out of a bag perhaps..."
As Zeruel spoke, he picked up a bag that was suddenly at his feet. "This looks like it could be of use," Zeruel grinned. "As your the cook, I'll let you make lunch for us."
Zeruel offered the bag to Nara and continued grinning.

She grinned and took the bag. She reached in while she whispered
"What would you like on your food?"

"Cheese please," Zeruel said, chuckling at the wording he used. "And a little bit of ketchup as well."

She pulled out a burger with cheese and ketchup and handed it to him. She reached back into the bag and rummaged around as she muttered another spell.

"Why thank you, love," Zeruel said, taking the food and taking a bite from it. "This is an excellent burger... Haven't had one this good since I was over in the States and stopped by a family run diner."

She nodded
"Yeah they do make em good in the states."
She pulled out a plate, a nut cracker, and a large cooked crab with spiny legs.
the crab was huge, about the size of a small dog. She disjointed it and set four of the legs on the plate and placed the rest of it in the sack. She cracked one of the legs open and took the meat out and ate a bit of it.

Zeruel nodded agreement to Nara's statement, then looked at what she was doing as he heard the noise of the nutcracker crunching through the crab.
"Is that thing even physically possible?" Zeruel asked, a dumbfounded look on his face as he looked at the size of the crab.

"Yeah, This species lives in the frozen waters near the North Pole. Very few are ever caught because it's so dangerous to fish up there."
She cracked the other two segments of the first leg and ate the commendable amount of meat held within.
"Crab meat is so good."

"I guess it's more of an acquired taste. I'm not a big fan of it, though I'll eat it if nothing else is around that piques my tastes," Zeruel said, taking another bite of the burger. He was about halfway done with it by now.
"Tell me. Where is your hometown?" Zeruel asked suddenly after he finished chewing.

She finished up with the second leg and began on the third.
"Well i was born in a very small town in Nevada in the States but my dad took me away from that place as soon as i was born. I've been a ronin for most of my life. the closest thing i have ever come to know as a stationary home was with a clan of Balor demons for five or six years after my dad died."
She began to acquire a look about her, a darkness had fallen over her eyes as if she were somewhere else. The smile faded from her lips after she spoke of her father.

Zeruel noticed the feeling of darkness enshroud Nara, and he was concerned.
"I don't mean to pry, so please let me know if I go to far," Zeruel said. "But does that one material you refused to summon have anything to do with your father?"

She shook her head.
"No, it has to do with my mother-"
A small orb of spiked Velorium inset with a bit of red gemstone you did not recognize appears behind Nara and begins to orbit her lazily.
"-and i will not talk about that. My dad died in the Cyrstal Tower crisis twelve years ago."

"What was the Crystal Tower crisis? If I may ask, at least," Zeruel asked, not knowing exactly what she was talking about.

Another orb of Velorium, this one adorned with serrated blades, materialized and began to float around her.
She lowered her face letting her hair over shadow her face.
She would not let him see her cry.
"The Crystal Tower chrisis was a horrible day. It was one of the three times i lost control of my powers. My dad had been drinking again and got angry with me. He struck me and i hit the table. I lost consciousness for a moment and when i woke up he was suspended from a crystal shard the size of a blista bolt. When i saw that my restrictions just dropped and soon the entire building was a pin cushion. I dont remember how i got out but i remember the death tole. I killed eighty-seven people that day."
Her voice never wavered as she spoke but more orbs began forming and their orbits sped up as the story progressed, one with blades clipped the fountain and shredded the marble like it was butter.
