It had been an uneventful evening, which was equal parts surprising and welcome.  At times like these, vampires apparently didn’t feel like coming out to play.  No matter, as Aaron Zadina enjoyed the respite from the seemingly constant hunting and being hunted.  It was similar to a game of<i>tag, </i>although the shifter knew this was no game.  The stakes were much, much higher than simply being tagged<i>it.</i><br/><br/>He had been away from his pack members for far too long.  It was with anticipated excitement that he looked forward to seeing his brothers and sisters soon enough.  But first, some much-needed relaxation and refreshment were on order, and<i>Café Du Monde </i>was the closest establishment on his way home.<br/><br/>Cafes such as this one offered light entertainment for Aaron, as one of his preferred activities was to people-watch.  And on this rather peaceful night,<i>Café Du Monde </i>did not disappoint.  Couples were his all-time favorite.  Body language alone revealed who was in trouble and who would be “getting some” later.  One such couple captivated most of his attention.  Both parties were equally animated, so it was somewhat difficult to tell who was on the hook.  Nursing his one and only IPA, the situation ramped up at their table, when she waltzed in.<br/><br/>Aaron’s gray-blue eyes fixated on the blonde woman as she casually made her way toward the back of the café.  Stunning features and a killer body decked out in an all-black ensemble tended to have that effect on him.  His gaze evidently wasn’t the only one trained on her, as the werewolf took note of many pairs of eyes also tracked the blonde to her chosen seat.  The bickering (or not) couple long since forgotten, his people-watching had been whittled down to just one.  Grinning, he wondered if anyone here would be bold enough to approach her.  He already knew he would not be one such person.  After all, with attractive looks like hers, Aaron surmised she probably got hit on all the time.  He held no desire to become one of her most recent casualties.<br/><br/>So he sat and watched.  And waited.
