*Its late midday at Pepor, the ocean is being relatively calm and some seagulls are shitting all over the place. Azrael is making his way black from the university after having given another lecture to a class full of students who care more about their social chit chat than actually paying attention. Not that he cares at this point, he'll fail all of them with a smirk. The thought brings him some satisfaction but also frustration as what he teaches is easily the most important and interesting thing they could possibly learn, so in his usual fashion he rummages around in his pockets and takes out a cigarette and lights it with a small spark, taking a deep drag from it before puffing out the smoke*

*As hes walking he notices something smelling rather delicious, and since hes had a long day he may as well spoil himself for once. He follows the smell to somewhere near the ocean but not particularly near the docks, just in a spot where if it was earlier in the day that would be quite busy. And parked there is a small stall emanating the scent of good food but with no owner in sight.*

*Motivated by his stomach he walks up to the stall and looks around for someone who might own it before just opting to stand around and wait, smoking his cigarette and putting his other hand in his pocket to keep it warm*
Tania
*The peculiar stall was wooden, something simple but enough to carry around food inside and that it did, on the inside of it it had an array of foods, fresh bread, and veggies but also meat, some of the things smelled even better than they looked. Even on the outside it had a peculiar look not just the foods inside, as it had a sign just where the stall was perched with an octopus just wearing glasses and holding a knife, not menacing at all of course. 

And just at the outside it had what seemed like a single table and a chair. 

Just as Az was waiting, a couple steps where heard.. And the following events happened quickly but I'll slow it down for everyone; 

The steps had approached rather quickly from the side of the stall right in front of Az and a non familiar blue... "Haired" Person collided with Az, but before anything else could be registered, Az suddenly got his face splashed with ink, with an "Eek!" And a Yelp followed. 

And soon after he had his face drenched in black liquid. And silently in front of him was the person in front of him muttering out a bunch of "Im so sorry I'm so sorry I'm so sorry"
Gary
*With his face and shirt doused in ink, his cigarette put out by it and very unlikely to light again, Azrael could do nothing but stand there with his eyes closed as his wings quivered.*
"Do you have a towel." *He asks with as much calmness he could muster ~~which isn't that much~~*
Lawrence
The person quickly scattered around dropping the box they held in hand and quickly grabbed. A towel, soon Az got dabbed many times with a towel, the person trying to wipe away the ink as much as she can "I'm- im so sorry— I didn't know anyone was here and I got startled—" She quickly stammered out
Gary
*The moment she started dabbing him he moved back a step, his wings fluttering*
"Just give me the towel" *He grumbles and holds out his hand*
Lawrence
She quickly handed him the towel after saying many Sorrys, looking at him she quickly stepped back, covering her mouth just in case "I- im so sorry"
Gary
*He grabs the towel and starts rubbing furiously at his face, particularly his eyes. Although it didnt do anything for his hair. But he wiped the ink out of his eyes and finally was able to open his eyes, which he immediately used to glare at her*
"What the hell is your-" *He immediately trails off, every trace of hostility in his eyes and body language replace with unfiltered curiosity as he observes her hair and blotches of ink at the corner of her mouth*
"Huh..."
Lawrence
She quickly bowed her head down as she kept apologizing, the tentacles in her hair where.. Well moving.. And we'll some where tied back like a bun, her eyes where big and yellow and had squid accents on them specially pink on the outer side. "It's— it's a reflex I have—"
Gary
*He carefully studies her features and body, his wings fluttering as he starts rubbing his chin subconsciously*
"A cephalopod inspired species? Octopus or squid for sure." *He mutters to himself along with a bunch of other things with weird alien words*
Lawrence
She lifted her head with a frown as she watched the winged man, of course she kept her hand over her lips as her eyes trailed off to the wings, curios before she perked up "O-oh! You're a customer? O-oh geez" And like that she scurried behind the stand, entering if she poked out the window, now with an apron on as she took out a menu for him, offering it to him
Gary
*At this point hes much too curious to even turn down a meal even if his appetite has been ruined so he takes the menu and browses it briefly*
"I'll take whatever you recommend"

*Somehow he thinks asking if she has seafood would be inappropriate*
Lawrence
She watched him before she let out a chuckle "O- oh ah.. Just.. A side note" She said while adjusting on the apron, turning as she rummaged through food so she could prepare something "..We do have seafood.. If you're interested.. I can make you a bowl of noodles with boiled eggs and shrimp and fried sea food on the sideL"
Gary
*He visibly perks up a bit at the mention of seafood, or rather it brought him out of his hypothesis crafting state.*
"Oh? I'll take that then." *And right after that he goes directly back into theory mode*
"Im curious but as a species of aquatic decent does serving seafood make you uneasy?"
Lawrence
When she heard the confirmation she smiled and quickly turned, putting on a cloth over her hair as the tentacles moved back behind the cloth, a precaution as she started to cook. When she heard his question though she let out a timid chuckle 

"Oh.. Uh no, it doesn't make me uneasy... I actually like it too"
Gary
*He rubs his chin and takes the time to study her tentacle hair in detail while her back is turned*
"And what about squid and octopus rings? Or calamari as its also called"
Lawrence
She thought for a moment as she continued preparing food, one of her tentacles poked out from underneath the cloth and kept rubbing at her cheek as she worked, letting out a quick hum at his words she answered after "Oh well.."

"I do like those but I prefer when I take the octopus and fry it alongside shrimp and some veggies, it makes for a good meal.. And if you're lazy you can eat it out the pan as well" She smiled widely as she spoke.. But she was still very timid in her sentence.. Her voice was barely a whisper when she spoke
Gary
*He rubs his chin curiously, his wings fluttering and he takes a seat at one of the chairs*
"Interesting. So you do actually know quite a bit about making seafood despite clearly having strong cephalopod ancestry within evolutionary history. Cannibalistic tendencies within your maternal species perhaps?"

*Hes gone too far into his theory mode and now all forms of 'societal correctness' has gone out the window.*
Lawrence
She blinked, becoming a bit timid at his questions but answers "O- oh uhum..." She thought for a moment, now she finished preparing the food and was serving it, one in a bowl and the other in a big plate. 

"If you're wondering if I have cannibalistic tendencies because of the other people I grew up with that are like me.. No I.. I grew up in a farm full of other race treton— not many octopus.. Oh and my friend Cali.. But— I- I well.. I just have a love for cooking.. I mean.. J can't.. Go around calling myself a cook if I don't try a couple foods right.. That's like.. Calling yourself w- well.. A scientist but not experimenting on a different branch of biology.." She trailed off "O- oh I speak so much.. I'm so sorry— and if I got that wrong too— "
Gary
*He stares at her silently, his attention officially cemented on her now that shes mentioned biology*
"What do you know about biology?" *He immediately questions, pretty much ignoring everything else she said*
Lawrence
She finally turned off the large fire she had been using to cook, slowly she took off the cloth that covered her tentacles and the tentacles almost immediately floofed out, slithering around normally 

"Oh— we'll.. I know a bit of the biology of my kind, but not octopus— I know the treton races the ones that are based of fish, and I know a bit of the uzhi biology thanks to my friend Cali. And I know a bit of the brayer Biology but again, it's not a lot.. Mostly how some aspects of their bodies work.. L- like for example i remember vaguely.. I was born off an egg" She chuckled out 

Finally she turned and walked out the stall holding a stray, which she set down in a small table that had a two chairs on it, a bowl of noodles and shrimp, with eggs, and a side of fried sea food
Gary
*He only just now realized the food is finished but he had to ignore it for now because duty ~~science~~ calls*
"Interesting.. I know a relative amount about biology on a wide number of creatures. But I haven't... Encountered one of you before. Or treton should I say. Do you have 3 hearts as well?"

"Octopuses have 3 hearts as well as blue blood. I also wonder if you can breathe underwater, do you have functional gills?"
Lawrence
She watched him for a bit, her yellow eyes staring before she looked away as she took off her apron, putting it by the stall. Before she slowly lowered the neck part of her outfit, showing 3 lines of gills on either side of her neck 

"Y-yes I can.. Breathe under water.. I don't know about the heart part as I haven't gone to a medic.. And—" She opened her mouth, showing it's all blue inside
Gary
*He slowly nods, his wings twitching again and just moving, more like theyre repositioning themselves this time.*
"Hmm... Interesting. A rather interesting species. Treton are not particularly well known as far as Ive seen so do fill me in on some more common knowledge. Cultural practices are welcome as well"
*He promptly takes out a... Very messy thick book with pages and papers sticking out all over the place along with a pen. He then rapidly flips through the book ~~the handwriting of most of the pages being absolutely god awful to the point of being illegible~~ until he found a blank page and just scribbles what... Looks lime the word Treton at the top???*
Lawrence
She kinda fiddles a bit, nervously as she slowly watched him scribble, for some reason she could understand it, slowly she fiddled with her fingers, some of her tentacles reaching out towards the book which made her lightly tap the tentacles making them recoil back and turn towards her.. 

"W- would.. You like to know my name— and— also that would be 7 silver for the food"
Gary
*He glances up upon noticing the movement of her tentacle followed with her tapping it. And the sound of money being requested.*
"Well that depends. Do you stay here in Pepor? Or rather intend to stay for... Hmm. Lets see... Id say about 3 months minimum?"

"Oh and the payment" *He fishes around in his pockets and produces... Well apparently everything except coins. Hes just pulling cigarette packs, crumpled papers, pens and... Tweezers and tiny hammers along with empty syringes? How the hell is all this fitting in his jacket?*
*Regardless he finally finds the money pocket and counts out the silver from it and puts it on the table*
Lawrence
She took the silver and waddled over to the stall, placing it in a small little blue bag, with the sound of a few other silver coins being heard as she dropped the ones given inside. 

Before she returned 
"W-We'll.. I think I'm gonna stay here for a long time, I'm.. We'll.. I'm not sure what this place holds— other than the pretty ocean near it"
Gary
*He seems to tune her out and finally fixed his attention on the food. He still had the same concentrated expression, but somehow it seemed more skeptical and criticizing as he carefully inspected the food*

*He then looks up at her like he forgot something*
"Oh right. If you stay a long time I'll take your name"
Lawrence
She tilted her head, blinking a few times at the fact she got ignored then not.. Ignored? She wasn't offended though, the guy before her was something very unique to her. "Oh, it's Leviathan Marinus— or Levia— or Levi—" She stammered for a moment
Gary
"Hm... Leviathan. What an interesting namesake choice. Anyways Im going to eat now so further conversation will not be answered" *He stated the last part rather bluntly, proceeding to pick up his eating utensils and take a bite of one of the shrimp, silently staring off into space as he seems to concentrate on.. The food I suppose*
Lawrence
She tilted her head to the side before letting out a chuckle and nodding "I- I'll take it as a compliment, e-enjoy your meal" She said silently before scurrying off inside the stall
Gary
*He kept eating, once again just ignoring her as he moved between the bowls, picking different items each time in different combinations until he seemed to settle into a rhythm of a specific order of foods after one another. At times he even closes his eyes as he chewed, a strangely concentrated frown appearing each time he did*
Lawrence
She stayed inside, having put on her apron again and her cloth covering her tentacles again, she started cooking again but this time something sweet, jam. Specifically strawberry and blueberry jam.
Gary
*He kept up his eating rhythm/pattern until he finished, upon which he stacked the plates in a weirdly organized fashion*

"We will be seeing each other relatively often in the next coming months" *He states bluntly*
Lawrence
She poked her head out the stall, watching him and let out a small timid smile with a nod "Im okay with that" She stated silently

She held out her hand then, waiting for him to hand over the plates
Gary
He completely misinterprets her intentions and proceeds to shake her hand
Lawrence
She stared, the tentacles in her hair suddenly scrunching up and wriggling incredibly fast, one even reach in g out to his hand which soon poked his hand, he's lucky the suckle didn't attack. 

"O- oh u- uhm—" She stammered
Gary
*His eyes go dead and his expression completely emotionless*
"I take it back we're never seeing each other again."
Lawrence
She quickly let go of his hand and let out a chuckle "O- oh please it's okay— I- I um- meant the plates—l

She let out a small chuckle but it's more to ease the moment even tho her tentacles where still going wild
Gary
*He immediately lets go of her hand and in a quickie movement gives her the plates*
"I'll be leaving"

"Dont move your stall"
Lawrence
She finally settled and looked at the plate before looking back at him as she turned and set the plates in a place she was gonna clean them in, a sink yes. (No I did not forget what it was called for a moment what do you mean) 

"Y- that's.. An odd request but, I won't" She smiled
Gary
"Wonderful. Goodbye"
*He then immediately turns around and walks off, putting his pen and book back into some random picket somewhere inside his jacket as he did and dissapeared around a corner*
Tania
One last and it ends?
Lawrence
She waved him off, chuckling at the peculiar guy before she turned and continued her business, cooking and baking, Tis how Levia was introduced to the peculiar fae
