“Oh my…” the words came from her lips as an amused whisper. Gabrielle smiled at Chris and took another sip of her drink, this time draining the cup completely. She then ran her tongue across her lips.<br/><br/>Gabrielle was silent for a long time after that. It occurred to her then that there seemed to be a sort of pattern forming. One would speak, the other would listen, and then there was silence as words were chosen. It wasn’t an uncomfortable feeling, she welcomed it. It gave her some time to take in everything that was Christopher Windsor. Her conversations with humans were usually very brisk and professional, business-like. Most of her company outside of her work was usually of the preternatural sort; as a dragon she was very selective in her company.<br/><br/>Yet there was something that was bothering her and she couldn’t put her finger on it. It was the same feeling she had when she conveyed her thoughts to Jake moments ago, telling her to be cautious, something she would likely heed.<br/><br/>“The moment you reached out to me, I knew you were a passionate man. There aren’t too many who can capture the attention of someone like me,” she said honestly. Someone like her -a dragon, in other words. Her experience with people who could reach out to dragons was not a positive one. There were hunters out there, who believed that killing a dragon, whether it was for sport or something more, most thrilling. They, too, were passionate, emotional, having such an admiration of beauty even though the dragon they were admiring was dead.<br/><br/>“Perhaps…” Gabrielle gave a small smile and suddenly reached into her pocket and pulled out a small notebook. She called over a nearby waitress and asked to borrow her pen. Quickly, she scribbled a note on a piece of paper, ripped it out of the book, and folded it in half. Then she returned the pen and waved the woman off. Her attention turned back to Chris, she slid the folded paper to him and gave a nod. “We could continue this conversation later, if you want? If you wish to learn, I could very well teach you.”<br/><br/>On the paper was a location to meet up later on, should he take her up on the offer. Which she was confident that he would, judging from the words they were exchanging now.<br/><br/>There was… something she needed to check, and she had to meet back up with Jake.
