Dina approached the pub nervously.  She was still new to all this werewolf business, still learning, and now there was another meeting. She stopped at the bottom of the stairs leading to the pub and took a deep breath.  There were people in here, people that only she could see.  Ghosts.  And they would talk to her and expect to her and expect her to respond. Not to respond would be rude. But to respond, to talk to them... She sighed.  She'd been teased all her life for seeing and talking to ghosts, and she didn't particularly want it to start again.<br/><br/>She quit stalling and started walking again, hoping that, just this once, the spirits would be quiet. She knew, of course, she couldn't be that lucky. and she was right.  She wasn't ten steps inside the door when the woman stopped her.  "Please," the nearly transparent redhead asked, "'ave ye  seen Himself, me 'usband?" Dina looked at her sadly and shook her head. The woman's shoulders shook and Dina couldn't resist reaching up to pat her comfortingly, regardless of how ridiculus it looked to others.<br/><br/>She walked up to the bar and ordered a Coke, giving the bartender a shy smile as she did so. She heard the creak of the door and the childish giggle when the bartender turned his back to get the soda, and instinctively turned toward the sound. She couldn't stop the return smile that came to her lips when she saw the shimmering blue-eyed blonde boy peeking out of the women's loo. She picked up her coke and pretended to hide behind it, chuckling softly as she was rewarded with a peal of laughter as the bathroom door slammed shut, seemingly, to all others, of its own accord. She still had a smile on her face as she headed into the back room where the meeting was held. The whiff of gunpowder made her stop, and she shuddered as the cold mist brushed past her.<br/><br/>She took a seat at the end of the table, sitting apart from the others. She sighed and reached down beside her, where no dog lay, and scratched behind the dragon's ears.  She was rewarded with a deep purr. She didn't look at the others, simply sipped her soda and scratched the dragon's ears, waiting for the meeting to start.
