"Awright," Neo said, as both him and Andy arrived in the restaurant inside the grand hotel they were staying in. It had a modern and minimalistic architecture, but still had some of trappings of the flamboyance that a hotel is expected to have, as evidenced by its black tablecloths, dark wooden chairs and a black-and-white grid pattern carpet. There were a decent amount of people there, some dining and others still either choosing the dishes they want or waiting for their orders. "Ya' said ya' wanna dinner?"<br/><br/>"Damn, Neo," Andy said to her. "Never knew you worked for a big-shot. Always thought you were some kind of wanderer or something."<br/><br/>"Id's nice to hav' som'where you can rest yo' ass, tho. 'Nd I happened to work fo' a Kraut wit' an steel rod up his ass, so I hav' to be on call anytime," Neo replied.<br/><br/>"You have to be on call anytime?" She asked him. "Don't tell me you work for him as a-"<br/><br/>"He's a fuckin' prude. 'Nd can't get his dick hard no mo'. Mo'fuckah got it bombed back in World War 1," Neo said to her.<br/><br/>"He's that old?" She raised her eyebrow, out of disbelief. While she was a mage, it was still a surprise to her that someone like Rattus can survive for that long.<br/><br/>"Oldah t'an ya' think, bitch," Neo said cooly. "Ratt's been fightin' Napoleon befo' dat!"<br/><br/>"Damn," she swore under her breath.<br/><br/>"So, ya' wanna eat?" Neo asked her, to shift the topic into something he thought was more relevant.<br/><br/>"Yeah, I'm just hungry," Andy said as she sat and took her place on one of the empty tables at the restaurant. Neo followed suit. She waved at one of the waitstaff to get them the menu list, and indeed one of them delivered. As soon as she started browsing it, she told him, "I want some steak and their mushroom soup here. How about you?"<br/><br/>"I'mma get me som' chikkin." Neo replied, his eyes still the menu.<br/><br/>"Thought you were the beef type of guy," Andy said. "Because you act like one."<br/><br/>"A'ways liked me sum fry chikkin. Can't beat dat, but steak o' powk is fine too." He replied, and she just giggled. But while looking at the menu, Neo felt something eerie coming from a direction. It was a feeling familiar to him as mage, but not as a human. It was a magical force, an aura that he knew the ordinary person can't feel unless they were gifted or learned of magic. This made his eyebrows furrow, and he looked at Andy to ask about it. But as soon as he did, Andy was also about to look at him.<br/><br/>Andy finally broke the silence by asking, "Are you feeling what I'm feeling now?"<br/><br/>"I'm 'bout to ask dat mahself, and ya' kno' it ain't love or shit lik' dat." Neo replied. They both looked at a specific direction, to one of the tables, and saw two customers dining at steaks. The first thing they noticed is the way they dressed and looked. Any person might dismiss them as a couple of cosplayers or eccentrics for their clothes being a bit too ornate, or the way their hair looked like. But both Andy and Neo knew that the two of them selves were not considered just any person at all, and so can these peculiar looking diners.<br/><br/>"Are they mages too?" Andy questioned in a hushed voice.<br/><br/>"If they are, then they ain't doin' a good fuckin' job of fittin' in, " He answered. "Dey callin' attention to demselves, yanno'? It ain't right. Dey don't feel lik' mages too, but they hav' a feel, ya' feel me?"<br/><br/>"So, what do we do now? We can't just them get away." She said.<br/><br/>"I hav' an idea. I'mma take care o' dis shit." Neo said. He then snapped his fingers, and a spit of fire appeared from his fingertips. He let it linger for a few seconds, before he put it out. "Jelly beans, motherfuckers."<br/><br/>"What's that for?" Andy asked.<br/><br/>"Basic lesson, so fuckin' listen, a'right? E'erytime ya' use ya' magic, ya' draw in som' energy from ya'self to release it, but ya' also draw som' from the environment ta' make it materialize outside yourself. That gives it the display, m'kay? But som' pretty strong assholes can feel it everytim' ya' use it, and from what direction." Neo lectured her in a hushed manner. "Those guys from the other table? They prolly mo' than decent, so they can feel it if ya' can use it even fo' a few seconds. So I holla at 'em."<br/><br/>"I see." Andy nodded. "We called their attention, but then what?"<br/><br/>"We eat, baby. Maybe they gonna realize that we kno' who they are, or maybe snoop on us. But we eat now." Neo said. "...I still want me sum' chikkin'."<br/><br/>"Yeah. My steak too." She affirmed.
