In return for what information I possess, you will perform a service for me at a later date."<br/><br/>He raised the glass in what might charitably be a salute, and took a sip from it. "At the present time, there is only speculation as to the presence of the Wild Fae. However .." a slim finger was momentarily raised skywards ..

Either is a possibility, and I will offer no guesses as to the validity of either option." He gave a small shrug. "Or perhaps it is simple coincidence." His lips twisted into a momentary smile, which then vanished again. "I am not one to believe in coincidence."<br/><br/>- - - - -<br/><br/>In the restaurant, one of the hovering waiters saw Mica set down the menu, and moved into her line of vision, gesturing towards to the menu to see if she wished to order now, or continue to talk and wait.<br/><br/>- - - - -<br/><br/>The two guys fell silent as the girl returned, balancing a tray on which sat their food and drink, which was efficiently transferred to the table. "If you need anything else, just let me know." their waitress said before moving off towards an obvious tourist trio that had just entered.
