Erik looked at the woman with his hollow eyes. His voice lifeless. â€œI want the steak meal...steak cooked rare.â€ He said. Handing over the menu and looked away from the woman. She was staring at them. What? Had she not seen two men getting food together before? He shook his head. People...could be so strange. She had been leaning in real close and her peppermint perfume and lotion about made him choke and gag. He was coughing and choking from her minty scent before and after she left. He took a sip of his coffee even though it was scorching hot. It helped clear up his senses. He didnâ€™t comment it about it though. Tried to act like it didnâ€™t happen.<br/><br/>He looked at him but didnâ€™t answer the question. Or the second one that followed that. Looking down and just stayed silent. He didnâ€™t want to talk about it. He lifted his gaze. He wasnâ€™t ready to talk about it. He focused in on the man speaking to him. Merely nodding his head. He gathered that from...the memory he had unintentionally gathered from the manâ€™s stronger aura. He blinked a bit. â€œHelf...?â€ He shook his head. â€œNah. Never heard of it. We donâ€™t got elven kind where I am from.â€ He said honestly.<br/><br/>He looked down at the table and drank his coffee more and it hadnâ€™t cooled any. â€œLook...I donâ€™t care that you arenâ€™t human. I donâ€™t care that you this helf thing. You a kindred spirit...that is all that matters to me.â€ He spoke honestly. He tapped the cup â€œNot...ready to discuss...the monster.â€ he said softly. Looking at him then shook his head. â€œIf...you were ever in danger of it...Iâ€™d be gone. At least...until it was no longer a risk to yoru safety.â€ he said seriously.<br/><br/>He closed his eyes. â€œMaybe...when I get to know you better. I will tell you about the monster. For now...lets just...get to be friends. Kindred spirits...should stick together.â€ He said. Attempting to smile and his lips twitched but it didnâ€™t make it across his face. He filled the cup again with new coffee. Sipping at it again after adding lots of sugar and some cream. He looked at the man. His stomach growled again. He looked up at the ceiling then back at Hayden. Sipping at the coffee.
