Laermeluion lifts a brow at Lenore as he sips on his own cup of tea. "Darling, are you sure that you should be eating and drinking quite so much so quickly? I know it won't be comfortable for you later. . . ."
"I want them," she says, lifting her barely-there nose into the air. She tosses her green hair behind her shoulder. It is longer than before, mid-back now. But, still styled with her bangs covering one eye. Today, she is wearing a sleeveless, black leather catsuit, with thigh-high, fetish heeled boots, and a long leather, form-fitting duster. The collar is up, to help block out the irritating rays of the sun. "And, I tend to indulge myself whenever I think I should. You should know that better than most, Laer," she says, her crimson lips turning up into a small smile as she stares at him over the rims of her sunglasses.
"Ah! Thank you so much, madam!" Lenore all but beams when she gets her food, and a fresh cup of tea. With a happy sigh, she starts to smear the cream cheese onto her bagel.
Laer simply rolls his smokey, pale silver, serpentine eyes.
----------------------
Meanwhile, coming closer and closer to the coffee shop, is a strange woman. She is decked out in an odd, green outfit, with a mask covering her face. Attatched to her belt is a sheathed rapier sword. She smiles under her mask as she looks around this odd place. Her first day here! Well, she'll just have to see what all there is to see. And, hopefully, she will be able to find something that will suit her tastes. . . .

Krista eyes Lenore before she simple shakes her head. Resting her chin in the palm of her hand she smiles " Lenore always did love the sweets." with a wink she brushes the curls out of her face. She was dress in an off the shoulder lace up the front black shirt with a pair of simple low rise flare blue jeans. Lifting her hand her plays with the emerald necklace around her neck. Mel remains quiet as she sits next to Laer. It had been the first time in the longest time she decide to come out of hiding once again. She still look pretty much the same except her hair is darkred with the under layer being black. Playing with the hem of slinky spaghittu strap dark purple dress she bites at her bottom lip. She didn't understand why she had to be here, glancing towards Laer she blushes then shakes her head. This was foolish, she knew that when she was around him it was an evil but good thing.

"Hush, you," Lenore says, lifting her bagel in her gloved hand, and waving it around slightly as she speaks. "There is nothing sweet about a plain bagel and cream cheese. Except me being able to shove it in that b***h that turned me's face." She shrugs, and takes a big bite out of the bagel, ignoring her stomach's protests as she smiles, enjoying the taste.
Laer shakes his head, and glances over at Mel. "She did," he says, continuing with Krista's observation. "I remember, one of the things she insisted on having while looking for her family was chocolate."
Lenore swallows her food, and tries to ignore the blush on Mel's cheeks. She doesn't know if she is liking her interest in Laer. She tries to tell herself that she is not jealous, and that she is simply looking out for the both of them.
With another happy sigh, she says, "Stop telling lies, Laer. Or, I will be forced to tell some on you," and winks over at him. She pushes her sunglasses up once more and mentally curses her nose's inability to keep them up.
----------------------
The same strange woman is now looking at the coffee shop. Behind the mask, her bright green eyes dance with delight. Could it really be? Oh, gods and goddesses above, she found someone she knows!
She shimmies her hips in a little victory dance, and starts to walk purposefully toward the shop. She goes inside, and takes the roundabout way toward the outdoor seating. . . .

Krista nudges Lenore then winks herself "Yes there is and you know it." glancing at her twin she winks then smiels to Laer "Ain't that right Mel?" she turn back to look at her twin.
Mel glance up then pushes her hair from her face, with a small laugh she nods "Yea Lenore does love the sweet. But I think everyone at this table does." Crossing her leg she relaxes alittle as she pokes Lear in the side with her hand under the table.
Krista blushes then shakes her head "It depends on the sweet Mel." she wiggles her brows then stand "I'm gonna get myself some peach cobbler." with that she turns head toward the counter. She only stops when she spots the strange woman. Arching a brow she tilts her head to the side.

Laer jumps a little when he is poked in the side. He is about to do something, when he notices the odd woman, too.
His serpentine eyes watch as she walks right over to Lenore. He is about to stand up and push the woman away, but she is too quick.
"Lenore!" the woman calls, and immediately jumps into Lenore's lap, effectively straddling her, her barely-there skirt hiked up around her hips now.
She pulls her mask off, tosses it onto the table, and puts her hands on either side of Lenore's face. She leans in, and plants a deep kiss on her vampiric friend.
Lenore sputters, her heavy-lidded eyes going wide as she sort of pats the woman on the back. Because she can, and because she would know that kiss anywhere, she returns the kiss, putting leather-clad arms around her friend.
Laer narrows his eyes a moment, and stares at Lenore and. . . . "It isn't. . . . ."
The woman pulls away, and wiggles a little in her lap. "Lenore, my dear, sweet, Lenore. You are still the best kisser I know," she says, her bright green eyes dancing. She bends back, watching Lear and the girl she doesn't know go upside down in her vision, and offering the both of them a nice view of her cleavage as she tilts her head. Her long, wavy auburn hair moves with her, shimmering almost copper in the light. "Laermeluion, you dog," she says, pouting a little.
"Ah, everyone," Lenore says, not making a move to get the woman out of her lap. "This is Mavis. A friend Laer and I made on our travels. . . . Mavis, that's Melantha, and over there is her twin, Krista," she says, gesturing to the other women.
"Identical," Mavis says, grinning dreamily. "Right down to the hair color."

Krista turns just in time to see the kiss. Nearly dropping the plate in her hand she shakes her head not even trying to figure out what had happen. Walking back over she pats Lenore on the shoulder "Wow Lenore you seem to be quite popular these days?" she nods to Mavis as she takes her sit "Pleasure to meet you Mavis and I might add that was quite an entrance."
Mel couldn't speak, it was like she swallowed a large pill that got caught. Looking away she coughs regaing herself before she gives Mavis a smile "Yes twins although I don't think we have ever had the same hair color. Me and Krista, and please call me Mel. Melantha is far to formal for me anymore." she kept her hands hidden under the table as she played with the gloves on them.
Once again any fun was hidden by the stone face she put up. Her feline eyes also seem to be mask at she look to Laer. Giving him a small smile she look back down.
Krista arch a brow towards her twin before she look back to Lenore "So you two lovers at one point. What about you Laer?" leave it to Krista to be the blunt one lately.

"It's nice to meet the both of you," Mavis says. She gives Lenore's breast a little squeeze, causing the vampire's eyes to widen, and remember just how long it has been since she has had sex. She scoots off of Lenore's lap, and settles into a chair she pulls to the table. She picks up her mask, and attatches it to the belt on her tiny waist.
Lenore arches an angled eyebrow at her best friend, and shakes her head. "No," she says.
Mavis turns to Lenore. "Yes we were, you just don't remember. I don't know what that says about me," she says, winking at Mel and Krista, before she waves a hand in the air. The waitress comes over to them, and she orders coffee with cinnamon and brown sugar, and a sliced green apple.
"And, I am not popular. I just, you know, went crazy after I left school, and met a bunch of weirdos along the way," Lenore adds, ignoring the comment for now.
Laer seems to not know what to say, for a moment, anyway. "Uhm, well," he looks down at his tea, before reaching under the table to give Mel's hand a little pat. "No, we weren't lovers."
Mavis arches a brow of her own, and shrugs. "Not that I didn't try," she says, smiling slightly. "I'd like to think there were some moments when we got close to it."
Laer shakes his head. "Dear Mavis, only in your mind."
Mavis laughs, not in the least bit offended. "Yes, and in my mind is the best place to be." When her tea arrives, she blows on it once, and then takes a sip. After that, she takes a slice of her apple, and bites it. She waves the hand with half of the apple slice in it, and adds, "Besides, life is dull without your own sense of imagination."
"As you've proved to us time and time again," Laer says, smiling a little.
Lenore shakes her head. "Anyway, Mavis. When did you get here?" she asks.
"Today," Mavis replies, fingering the ribbon of her mask with her free hand. "Imagine my shock when I saw you, sitting outside of this place. Sorry, Laer, I didn't recognize you initially. I was too caught up in seeing our sexy friend here."
Lenore waves that off.
Mavis turns to Krista and Mel, then. "You said to call you Mel? Well, Mel, and Krista, tell me about yourselves. You have lovers, husbands or wives? Talents? Hobbies? Spill, and I will make things up as we go along. It will be iced."

Krista laughs shaking her head "You remind me alot of my youngest Tinania. So full of life and eager to have fun." taking a bite of her cobbler she looks to Lenore making at face at her "I'm actually married to Lenore's half brother Rinion. I know your friend here from school and then found my twin about a year ago." with a pause she shrugs "Nothing else that interesting in me unless you count that I can tranform into a black panther." giving a wink she looks to Mel "Mel on the other hand seem to be the interesting one of the two of us."
Mel shook her head she glance at Laer when he pats her hand. Shrugging she bites at her bottom lip "I'm not really all that interesting. Trust me on this. I transfrom into a white panther, mostly stay in the forest, and only appear when people need me. I train and I can control the shadows when I want to. As far as my love life, that up in the air right now." she gives Laer another glance before laughing alittle. "So I'm pretty boring compare to these three here."
Krista rolls her eyes then turns back to Mavis "Don't mind Mel, she often the quiet one unless she actually decide to smile. Then she full of life." she turns back to Mel who was glaring at her.
Mel stops herself from growling as she picks up her coffee taking a long sip from it. She wasn't in her eyes full of life, she also didn't understand why people said she was. Shaking her head she lays her head against Laer's shoulder for a moment as she whisper so only he can hear it "Can I throw something at my twin?"

Mavis blinks, and looks at Lenore. "You found your mother then," she says, nodding. "Good for you."
She then looks back at Krista, and taps her chin. "Hmmm . . ." she starts. "You musn't be offended by anything I say. When I hear things, I sometimes like to make up a few details as I go. It's harmless, and does not point to any thoughts that I might have of you. You should have heard the story I made up for Lenore," she sighs, whistfully.
"Alright, so here it goes. . . . Your mother was a cat person, a part of the traveling carnival that came to town. When your father, obviously an elf, saw her, he fell madly in love with her. But, she would not take him seriously. She used him for her own pleasure, and gave birth to the two of you after many late-night rendevous. You, Krista, went on to make top grades in school, and kept away from carnivals, as your parentage is too painful for you. You ended up falling for a suave, and presumably smoldering sexy piece of man-meat, but only after you had your daughter, Tinania," she looks at Lenore for confirmation of that little detail. "Tinania was concieved with the god of laughter while you were romping, naked, in the forest one night," at that, Laer almost squirts tea out of his nose, and goes into a coughing fit. Lenore, chuckling, leans over and pats her friends back. "The poor dear doesn't know her father, because, if she did, she would most certainly be killed by his voice."
Mavis smiles, in her dreamy way once more, and turns slightly-glazed eyes toward Mel. Her eyes are the tell. She is in a compartment of her mind that churns out all sorts of nonsense. "Mel, on the other hand, secretly cavorts with carni folk. Mass orgies are had all around, but Mel does not take part in them. Being the shrewd business woman that she is, she tapes the events, and sells them to the highest bidder. Deep down, she wants desperately to be a carni, but finds that she is too beautiful, too normal to be a side-show attraction. So, she returns here, and lives here, mostly, forever grieving because she cannot follow in her mother's footsteps. Instead, she has found friends, and possibly lovers," she says, indicating to both Laer and Lenore with an amused smile. "Here in this strange land. Here, you don't have to be odd to be a carni, people stare anyway. You just have to dress oddly, and you get the attention you want. However, Mel, here, likes to dress in a very charming manner. I love your dress, by the way. And, instead of getting the horrified stares that she so longs for, she gets the appreciative ones. Such as that gentleman over there," she says, waving her hand vaguely.
Sure enough, there is a man, staring at Mel. Nothing about him seems very clear. And, if you take a closer look, it is obvious that he is not real.
"Mavis, I was wondering when you would bring out the parlor tricks," Lenore says, a very amused half smile on her face.
"I am out of practice," Mavis sighs, her eyes returning to their twinkling. She is back from wherever she was, now. She takes a long drink from her cup before setting it back on the saucer, and running her finger over the rim. "I could have done much better. Alas, we will have to settle for that mediocre figure I conjured."

Krista couldn't help but laugh at Mavis story "If that was my life I wouldn't have to be hiding. I would enjoy it actually." with a wink she set her fork down on her empty plate "You have a way with word Mavis. I'm very impressed." pushing her curls from her face she waves her hand to the waiter.
As he walks over she orders herself a cup of coffee. Watching him walk away she turns back to them "Lenore your friend here is sweetheart." nodding to the waiter as he brings back her drink she takes a sip of it.
Mel actually laughs then shakes her head pushing her hair from her face "Wow you actually discribed me pretty well. Now that I think about it." she had actually thought about it. Was she really becoming what she had said, it was almost like her father?
Shaking her head she gives Laer hand a squeeze under the table "I'll be right back I'm gonna make a quick phone call." leaning in she brushes her lips against Laer's cheek before getting up. Strolling pass them she makes her way toward the door.
Krista arches a brow then turns picking up Mel's purse. Going through it she picks up Mel's phone "Okay if she making a phone call how she going to do it without this?"
Rounding the corner so she was out of sight Mel rested her head against the wall. Leave it to someone she barely knows to make her eyes open. Although she miss being the dark child she came to realize that even then she still was full of life. Now she was becoming the one thing she hated the most.

The good humor dies from Mavis's eyes as soon as Mel leaves, and it is shown that her mobile is still in her purse.
"I'm so sorry," she says. "I didn't mean to offend anyone. . . ."
"You didn't, darling," Lenore says, giving her friend an absent pat on the shoulder, before rising. "I'll be right back, I want to go see if I can figure out if something is wrong. . . ."
"Are you sure that is wise?" Laer asks, rising. "I mean, she oviously needs a minute alone."
"Did I ever let you have it when you thought you needed it. Oh, sit down, Laer. I won't beat her," Lenore waves her hand and shakes her head as she follows after Mel. She finds her, and walks over to her.
She leans against the wall next to her. "So, what gives?" she asks, quietly. "Mavis doesn't mean any harm when she does that. I hope you didn't take any of it to heart. . . . I mean, she told me I was goingto marry a man with three breasts, and five testicles. . . ." She offers Mel a smile.
Mavis looks from Krista to Laer. "Ah, at least you liked my silliness," she says, smiling slightly at Krista. "And, I thank you for that lovely compliment you gave me. . . ."

Krista looks to Laer then back to mavis "My twin just show things in her own way. I don't think you did anything wrong Mavis." looking at at Laer she gives him a weak smile before glancing towards the door. She didn't understand at all what had been going on with Mel.
Mel looks up then shrugs looking at Lenore "She right when you read between the lines of her story. The more I think about it the more she is right. Have I really change that much? I'm becoming so much like my father. I might as well dye my hair blond." pushing off the wall she laughs even if it was weak.
Turnig to Lenore she places her hands behind her back "I serectly do wish I was like you, Kris, Laer, and even now Mavis. Not have a care for the world and just be myself. But I can't be can I?" looking away she coughs "I can be myself anymore because it hurts to much. The moment I'm myself around you or even Laer, it scares me. So what do I do, go into hiding. I like Laer and that scares me because I don't want to lose what feeling I still have for you." it was the first time she decide to be truthful with herself.
Looking back up she sighs "This was a huge mistake of me coming with you. I should have just stay at home. I don't belong with you, Laer or Kris. I bring everyone down and I spoil days. Your friend Mavis is awesome, and I give anything for even a moment to be brave the way she was when she first walked in." turning she pushes her hands through her hair. "Hell who knows I might have had a chance with Laer, or I might have been able to truely not let you go that day."

Mavis nods, and sighs. "I hope she gets over it, not to sound mean. I kind of liked her. I would like to get to know the both of you better," she shrugs again. She then turns her eyes, now curious, back to Krista. "Lenore doesn't really talk about before, in school. Have any stories you want to share?" she asks, smiling once more.
Laer shakes his head, glancing back to see if Mel and Lenore are coming back from wherever they are. But, he, too, is curious. "Yes, she has always been so mysterious. She doesn't really talk about her past too much. I doubt something horrible happened, but I am wondering why she would never give us even a bare skeleton. . . ."
Lenore arches a brow at Mel, and crosses her arms over her chest. She pushes off of the wall of the building, and stands in front of her. Reaching out, she grabs Mel's shoulders, and makes her turn to face her. "If I thought, for even an instant, that you were turning into your father, kin to Kris or no, your a** would be off of my property, and out of my life, for good. However, the other stuff is true." She shrugs. "You need to lighten up. Stop keeping to yourself so much. You need to take chances, and you need to start doing all the things that you want to do. You could be like us, Mel. The lot of us, we all have dodgy pasts, but we don't let ourselves be ruled by them, like you do."
At the stuff about Laer and her and Mel, she frowns. On impulse, she leans in, and presses her lips gently to Mel's. "I love you, I always will," she starts, in a low voice, turning away from Mel. "I have been so close to leaving Eirnae so many times for you, but I don't want to spoil your life. I think, maybe, you should give Laer a shot, as much as it pains me to say that. I don't want to see you with him, but that is selfish of me. The bigger part of me wants you happy, and if he can make you happy, then you hold onto him."

Kris looks at them both then shakes her head "I wasn't in the same house as her, so I really couldn't tell you anything even if I wanted to. I'm sorry" with a shrug she blushes "I myself don't know much about Lenore's past either and what I do know I won't tell. If she hasn't told you its because she doesn't wish anyone to know. And being a friend I won't say anything unless she tells me its okay to." taking a sip of her drink she gives them a weak smile. Leave it to Kris to be faithful.
Mel eyes widen when she felt Lenore's lips on her. Looking at her shocked she licks them before she loks away "I don't mean to hide Lenore, but it just part of me now." glancing toward the shop she shakes her head "I don't even know if he likes me anymore and I'm not that daring to just walk up and lay a kiss on him." okay she was lying through her teeth, because she did the guts to do it.
Glancing at Lenore she sighs "Okay maybe I do, but I'm deadly scared of him rejecting me." pushing her hand through her hair she smiles alittle "You know I still love you Lenore, I always will. But maybe I should allow myself some fun like you said. Who knows maybe just maybe one day..." she didn't finish the sentense. She knew Lenore would knwo what she meant. Pressing her fingers to her lips she places them over Lenore before she turns heading back into the coffee house.
Not even glancing at at Mavis of Kris she keeps her eyes on Laer as she climbs onto his lap. Running her hand through his hair she leans in brushing her lips over his. She had been wanting to do that for sometime, and even if it didn't last she should at least enjoy it while she can.

Mavis and Laer shrug. Mavis smiles one of her charming smiles over at Kris, and winks. "Don't worry, we won't bother you much, then, right Laermeluion?" she asks, turning to look at him.
He doesn't get a chance to say anything as Mel chooses that moment to sit in his lap and give him kiss. He blinks in shock, and doesn't even have time to return the kiss. He only stares at Mel, in equal shock, and, as reflex, rests his hands on the small of her back.
Lenore walks in to the scene, and blinks, stricken. It is at that time that her stomach finally revolts, and she dashes for the bathroom, becoming violently ill. . . .
