Welcome to Gaia! ::

Delucca Sunday smiled as she walked into the cafe. Well at least it was familiar type turf, she thought. Though usually, the woman was the waitress bringing young couples their orders, rather than one in a couple. But hey, may as well give it a try.

Inside, it seemed at least semi-cozy. It had been rather hot outside and was pleased to see that her date was either late-leaving her to pick the table-or smart enough to not stay out there. The latter suspicion was confirmed when she spotted the man whose profile she'd been given inside. Figuring she may as well get this over with, the woman approached the table.

"Greloren, I presume?" she asked calmly, her hands buried in the pockets of her jeans.

She'd tried to dress down as much as possible today-wearing a crimson t-shirt, and a jean jacket to match her long pants-both worn to at least hide her ridiculous skin coloring for a short while. Her eyes were only lightly lined in black and her lipstick was just a simple glossing. She kept her piercings out and tried to at least keep her dreads up in a loose ponytail type thing...try to be as not-supremely-shocking as possible.

Though anyone who got immediately scared off by her appearance wasn't worth her time and it would probably save trouble, best not to give too bad of a first impression.

Delucca was a little more than used to having people gawk the first time they got a look at her. The fact that this man actually bothered trying to hide it and offered her a seat instead of outright freaking the hell out was stored in her brain as something that could earn him respect points with her in future. Honesty's nice and all, but being able to bite your tongue is helpful.

"Hello there." she said to Quill, waving a little at the creature. With a pleasant smile that she usually reserved for her better customers, the woman walked over and took her seat.

"Definitely odd being on this end of the spectrum in a cafe." she commented, taking notice of the menus as she sat. "Usually I'm the one taking orders, not thinking them up."

Glancing up at the man as he sat back down, she decided it would probably be best to start conversation with something friendly. "So, what might your little buddy there be? A familiar, just a good friend, or something else?" Never knew what you'd get in Gaia.

"Yes. Have been since I was fifteen. Pretty decent job, really." she commented in an offhand manner before turning the subject back to the adorable creature that had fluttered down to sit on the table.

"That's interesting. How ever did you two meet?" she asked, reaching out a couple of fingers to lightly touch the critter on it's head. She was careful in her motions-some critters on Gaia hated being touched like that but this one seemed interested in it, considering how he was acting.

At least the conversation seemed a bit more relaxed then it could be. The whole thing could be horribly awkward or much worse. Anyway, talking about this little critter didn't seem so bad. Delucca had always had a weakness for small cute things. Just not to the point of squeeing over them and having tons of pets.

Delucca's smile brightened at the reaction she got from the critter. How sweet. The petting became less tentative and more affectionate.

"Oh, no, not really. Petshops creep me out for no good reason, and I haven't been fortunate enough to randomly come across any creatures that decided to latch onto me." she answered, "Not for lack of liking animals, though."

"So, what sorts of things are you interested in?" she asked.

"Hm....well," Delucca thought for a moment, still absentmindedly stroking the small creature in front of her's head. "I like books, animals, movies, studying the traditions of other cultures...oh, and Enchanted Glass Blowing."

His interests at least weren't crazy, by the sound of it. Definitely a plus. "I liked hiking when I was young, but now I live in the city. Not much of that to be done there."

"Ah, something I got into when I was young. I saw a documentary about glass blowing when I was seven. Ever since I'd wanted to try it, so I jumped at the chance without thought after the local magic school place started offering the classes. The enchantment part actually makes it a bit more interesting." she said with a nod. "The school wasn't something I'd normally be interested in looking around, but hey, when they have a class I want, I'll take it."

On an afterthought, the woman added, "They also offered an interesting class on the cultural significance of magic through the ages. It was quite fascinating, apart from being a little odd."

"Well I wasn't one of the full-time magic students, like everyone else in my class, so it was odd discussing things with them since I wasn't familiar with all of the same principles of magic that they were." the woman explained, shrugging her shoulders.

"Well, it depends on the assignments. Sometimes we make magic mirrors, sometimes they're glass figures that will dance across your table, sometimes they just change colors. It's pretty fun, actually." the whole thing actually was fun. "They have a few similar classes at the school that I've considered taking."
