Reika continued to sip at her drink, surprised when Heidi put her hand on her shoulder.<span style="font-style: italic">"Would you like fish or steak?"</span>She didn't know which to pick, and before she could answer, Kate jumped in with a solution. A smile quirked her lips, and she nodded in agreement. Alyx smiled at Reika, glad she was not acting shy again, and ordered a steak; regularly cooked, not undercooked as one would have thought. He had decided he would wait until they got home to have any blood, and having an undercooked steak would arouse suspicion in the town anyways. Many didn't like vampires, not at all. After everything was ordered and Heidi left to get the food, Alyx turned his attention back to Reika. "The steak is beyond delicious. I am certain you will love it." "It is on rare ocassion that I have been allowed meat. You know how not picky I am, I could eat anything that is food. Surely it would be better than in the past." "Yes. But the past is in the past; it no longer matters, Reika. Just forget of it, everything will be fine." The girl smiled a bit and nodded.
