Druuugs (Gabriel)

[Olivia Green]

He laughed considerabley hard when she answered truthfully. Which was a good sign. He wasn't going to get angry with her for not trusting him completely.

"All right I think I can live without that for now." they both were smiling as the finished the song and he turned while sitting on the stool to face her.

"Would you like something to eat? You can watch me make it if that bothers you too much?" of course it put worry in her mind he would have that thought in his mind. Though her stomach was growling. Though she would rather feel starved rather than the pain that she was feeling for her healing boo boos.

"I would like that... do you know any Vegan dishes? I don't..I usually stick to vegetables and other snack foods that have no animal by product in it. So i haven't made any special dinners... Probably why I'm so thin." she said with a smile.

She set the guitar back into it's stand and waited for his lead once again. Well, she needed to see where he was and also... she didn't know her way around this large house.

[Gabriel Seran]

Vegan food? He hadn't really paid that any notion in the slightest and made an awkward looking face though covered it easily with a coy smile.
"Um...yea I'm sure I can find something edible around here without meat." he said with another short laugh.

Taking the lead to the oversized kitchen took a few moments longer than it would normally something about his pace suggested that of a host showing off the spectacular paintings adorning the walls. Along with them were several rapier blades that Gabriel had used in many of competitions. Once they'd entered the actual kitchen the room turned from a museum to a dinner of sorts. It was all too much for one person to handle though he was used to the luxury a bit too much so.

"Salad I suppose?" He said glinting a smile.

his steady hands danced over a fresh stock of lettuce and pulled out a few tomatoes from a basket arranged at the center piece table for decorations. Now came the hard part his hand smoothed over the kitchen knife shaking a little. Remembering how Stu hacked away at his arm sent a horrible fear through him. closing his eyes Gabriel counted backwards from fifteen and began cutting slowly, by the time they were open everything looked to be neatly spread. Exhaling he stirred the food into a glass bowl and moved to grab some utensils for the pair to use.

[Olivia Green]

"Um...yea I'm sure I can find something edible around here without meat." she smiled with him. They left towards the kitchen and he took his time, but she was glad he did. She got to admire all the paintings on the walls along with rapiers. She recognized the weapon all too well. Unlike herself, Alexis was somewhat competative so she joined fencing. Why fencing? Cause she was a small girl and was more graceful with her feet and movements rather than straight foward and brute-ish. Alexis would sometimes try to teach Olivia, but she was too paranoid it was going to stab her, even if they wore the padding and it had the cap on the end of the little sword.

They entered the kitchen and it was just as amazing as everything else. She was surprised he even knew where it was and was able to make food. Usually someone with this kind of money had buttlers of sorts.

"Well... anything that comes from an animal is a no no."

"Salad I suppose?" Olivia knodded in agreement. She loved salad, who didn't? She then caught him closing his eyes while he cut the vegetables. He came about it slowly then he opened his eyes to get everything together in a glass bowl. Next thing he did was get out the utensils for the both of them.

"Are you okay?" she had to ask, seeing as how he seemed so concerned with her life, why not return the favour?

[Gabriel Seran]

"Are you okay?"

Gabriel looked up slowly from his solace and found her looking towards him, not the same suspicious glare but a look of some form of sympathy as far as he could tell. He gave her a weary grin. before shaking loose the ties of fear that came with the mysterious glove on his hand.

"Yea I'll be okay," He started slowly wondering whether trust was more important than her well being. What good could come from the truth if he were to reveal his imperfection, his own fear.

"Just a bit of an accident," He said simply suggesting towards the glove though not entirely revealing it, with one motion he solved the best of both worlds he said the truth and didn't have to reveal too much. Sighing he scooped a bit of the salad away and ate at it. never fully satisfying him but he could live with it if it made his guest happy.

[Olivia Green]

"Yea I'll be okay," Olivia smiled as she scooped herself some salad and stuck it into a bowl of her own.

"Just a bit of an accident," she nodded in agreement, but noticed he was refering to his hand. Nothing looked wrong by it... only the fact that it was covered by one glove whilst the other stood bare. He took out some salad for himself and they both began to eat.

"Are you sure it was an accident? 'Cause one time me and my sister were playing outside, and she pushed me out of a tree." she shrugged swallowing a bit of lettuce, "She said it was an accident but I knew she deliberately pushed me... I also knew she was a pathelogical liar." the story was to lighten the mood. Olivia thought it was quite funny. Also, it was better than just sitting here with an awkward silence.

"She didn't even apologize when I landed on a branch and it dug its way into my thigh." the smile remained on her face. Children were foolish and stubborn. Olivia knew damn well not to climb a tree with Alexis. Push Olivia twice, shame on her, push Olivia four times... shame on Olivia...

[Gabriel Seran]

Gabriel laughed a tad at the story, yes it did lighten the mood. Though the fact still remained that he was still uncertain and unhappy about the loss, he'd yet to come to terms with it and if things stayed the same it'd burden him for a good portion of his life. It was time to regain a hold of the handle bars. Olivia seemed a kind enough person to help him with that or at the very least blunt enough to point out when he was making wrong.

"Thank you Olivia, you certainly do know how to lighten the mood." He said finishing up ravenously

the salad didn't quell his hunger it only made him want more, he could feel his insides begin to claw their way from within. However Gabriel managed to put down the grimace of tortured hunger.

"Can I get you anything else?" He offered kindly standing to was his plate.

In a Lord's house he'd normally have several staff working nonstop to fill his needs though Gabriel kept a minimal staff about they were very well trained and primarily remained invisible for the grand amount of anyone's stay. It made him wonder from time to time.

"Lord Gabriel" One of the staff made his approach in an elegant attire. He stopped before he handed a folder over to Gabriel and eyed Olivia carefully with a scrutinus eye before making to apologize, "I apologize I didn't know his Lord had a guest."

Gabriel nodded once, "That'll be all Marcus thank you."

[Olivia Green]

He laughed slightly and she joined him.

"Thank you Olivia, you certainly do know how to lighten the mood." he finished off the salad as she was still working on hers. Guys usually eat more than that, so she was expecting him to get up and start flipping a thick steak on a manly BBQ.

"Can I get you anything else?" he asked kindly as he stood.

"Um..A wa-"

"Lord Gabriel" A man had come in and handed Gabriel an envelope. He also managed to get in a stare towards Olivia. Her eyes shot to the ground and her hand went to the back of her head to scratch... "I apologize I didn't know his Lord had a guest."

She didn't hear him answer yes or no, so she assumed he gave it recognition with a knod or something. "That'll be all Marcus thank you." After the male had left it really hit her.. she didn't belong here. That feeling about being a penny in a diamond mine really smacked her upside the head.

"Um.....A water should be fine.." her voice was a bit more quiet now and her index finger traced little circles on the table. Her eyes followed the movements of her finger as she spoke once again in timid mode. "Then maybe after, I should leave you alone..."

[Gabriel Seran]

Gabriel surveyed the paper, it didn't hold very much importance, simply the revenue he'd been trying to keep up since his return from Italy. He was hoping it had been a note from Unfettered, Gabriel had still been trying to contact his leader but it would seem as his journey was taking it out of him and certainly longer than necessary. His eyes turned up to address Olivia only to find she was evading his scrunched up in a submissive state.

"leave? did something upset you?" Gabriel questioned a bit taken aback as if he'd committed some atrocity he'd not intended for.

He turned towards the refrigerator to grab a bottle of water. Yes another elaborate kind, he didn't realize he was pressuring her in the sense that he was showing his money off, it was all non intentional as he picked out the water bottled in the springs of the Alps.

[Olivia Green]

"leave? did something upset you?" she kept her mouth shut, still looking to the table. If she just didn't say anything then she wouldn't be lying nor telling the truth, though he would be expecting one soon.

He handed her a water from the fridge. They even buy bottled water, and here Olivia is with her oversized shirt and ugly ripped jeans. She peeled the paper from the label, making neat strands of paper and aligning them on the table as if it were a puzzle.

"I, I, I just don't feel right here... It isn't me and it feels like its trying to spit me out..." everything was out of her league and she really felt out of place. She opened the water and let a large gulp run down her throat. The faster she drank it, the quicker she could leave and never return. After all, it was trying to spit her out, and it wouldn't want another try with her.

[Gabriel Seran]

Now it was Gabriel's turn to feel ashamed, he'd never been able to let anyone close enough to him and at the first chance he'd even considered to allow for it to happen he'd been thrown out. It was a disappointing feeling that he had to suffer here now. It hurt a bit more. Nonetheless he tried to remain calm, anger didn't solve it there was nothing he could do but be the man he was. Or at least try to be good for once. He sighed.

"I wouldn't want to have anything make you feel as if you had to choose." He said considerably before turning about to a wall behind her.

"Marcus could you provide some transportation for Mrs. Green." He said into a speaker before it clicked audibly off.

"Anywhere you need to go he'll take you," Gabriel put on a short fake smile, "It truly was a pleasure to have met your acquaintance, Olivia." this time his smile was more genuine.

[Olivia Green]

"I wouldn't want to have anything make you feel as if you had to choose." he sighed and walked to a wall behind her. She didn't turn to see his where abouts, it didn't matter.

"Marcus could you provide some transportation for Mrs. Green." she turned her head slightly, facing the direction of Gabriel. A small smile was forced upon his face.

"Anywhere you need to go he'll take you," Olivia nodded slowly as she stood from the chair. She picked up her bottle and tapped on the bottle waiting for him to finish what he had to say, "It truly was a pleasure to have met your acquaintance, Olivia." the smile he had now, was less forced. Olivia, in turn, smiled back and held out her good hand. It was a bit shakey, 'cause still she didn't like contact, but what can it hurt? He did bring her to his house and did nothing cruel or evil to her. He even fed her.

"Thank you....for today... Nice meeting you." she would wait for him to shake her hand. If he did or didn't she would then leave to her means of transportation and tell the driver the address to her home. She would stare out the window, looking back at everything she could possibley wish for in life.

[Gabriel Seran]

She extended a hand out to shake and Gabriel gave her a short lived questionable look. Soon after her took it tenderly and kissed the brim of her palm.

"Au revoir... till we meet again"

He said with a short grin to watch her leave. He wondered by chance if they ever would. He certainly hoped so and it was indeed a small world.
