Void Rift (rp) - Intermission

Sivius approaches her.
"You may have forgotten to tell your servants I was coming." He says, relaxing.

 

"Not exactly. You said you wanted to be treated like the wandering swordsman you are, so I didn't want you to be treated like a royal guest. I thought you might not have liked it." Shadow Stephanie says, smiling. She wears a slim reddish black dress, a necklace with a heart shaped red crystal attached to it, and a slight bit of makeup to compliment her facial features; Shadow Stephanie's lips more noticeably red.

"I'm glad you came." Shadow Stephanie says happily. A chair seems to be pulled out opposite Shadow Stephanie for Sivius, the candle in the middle of the table flickering slightly, providing a calm light.

 

"I'm impressed." He says, sitting down with a smile.

 

A waiter eventually walks over to Shadow Stephanie and Sivius' table, dressed in rather expensive looking attire.

"What may I be able to get you two this evening? Any drinks or starters, perhaps?" The waiter asks, his tone posh.

"May I order some of your finest wine?" Shadow Stephanie asks.

"A glass of our finest wine for the lady, of course. And for you, sir?" The waiter asks Sivius.

 

"Do you have spectre's blood?" He asks, scanning the menu for drinks the restaurant is more likely to have.

 

"Spectre's blood, sir?" The waiter asks.

 

"Nevermind. I'll try what the lady's having."

 

"Very well, sir." The waiter says, walking off.

"What's spectre's blood? It sounds interesting." Shadow Stephanie asks with a smile, curious.

 

"It's what it sounds like; it's the blood of a spirit."

 

"Oh. I thought it was some kind of fancy cocktail or something!" Shadow Stephanie says, laughing slightly.

The waiter soon returns, placing a bottle of wine on the table, and two glasses of it in front of Shadow Stephanie and Sivius. The waiter also places a basket of crusty rolls on the table; still warm from being freshly baked.

"Thank you." Shadow Stephanie says happily.

"Do tell when you're ready to order your main course." The waiter says respectfully.

Shadow Stephanie takes a sip of wine, smiling at Sivius.

 

"It does go well with satyr's blood."

Sivius tries the wine as well, glancing over the menu.

 

The wine has a rather rich, aged flavour, the taste of the alcohol strong yet subtle.

The menu appears to be rather different to most, merely recommending dishes instead of listing all the available ones.

"You can order whatever you want here, by the way. There's a pretty high chance they'll have it." Shadow Stephanie says, smiling, taking a roll and biting into it.

 

"I'll just follow suit. I haven't eaten in quite a while." He says, trying a roll.

 

The roll is warm to the touch, crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside.

"Shadows don't technically need to eat, we can sustain ourselves off of darkness. Though, that leaves us weaker to light and brings about the general problems bar starvation from not eating." Shadow Stephanie explains happily, taking a sip of wine.

"So, what adventures have you been on?" Shadow Stephanie inquires, looking at Sivius with admiration.

 

"Countless. Over three hundred and forty star systems across three realms so far." He says. "All to amuse my blades."

 

"Do you enjoy going to all those places? You sound a little...trapped." Shadow Stephanie asks, concerned.

 

"Yeah, they're really cool. You meet all kinds of creatures, and most of them are nice if you just follow their leads."

 

"Really? What was your most interesting adventure, then?" Shadow Stephanie asks, smiling.

 

"I was asked to help refugees destroy an orbital cannon trying to destroy their homeworld. That's one of the things that hit closest to home for me."

 

"Whoa..." Shadow Stephanie says, awestruck, gazing at Sivius with respect and love in her eyes.
