Pearls of the Stars

Ian looks over at the arriving girl, vaguely recognizing her from school. "Table for one?"

Nan smiled. "0. You're getting much better at this, you know. Charming could do wonders for you, versus stuck up prig."

Alex shoved her hand into her pockets and strolled down the street, feeling proud as she'd finally mastered the "guy walk." Boy, would her mother kill her if she saw what her youngest daughter was up to.

Naomi nods. "Yes, please."

Black&White wrote:Ares simply rolls his eyes. He was going to point out the fact that he's killed ladies before, though it didn't seem worth it to argue with her. "In any case, it'll be a few more hours or so. The crowds have to go away and then the midnight fun can start."

Apollo: I write it down. "Well, you know. I have two sides of me. Makes me much more deep."

Persephone: I grin. "You can't see flowers during midnight."

Ares
"going poetic now, i see. That supposed to mean something?"

Ian nodded leading her to an available table. Nan was still with that guy, though she didn't seem particularly annoyed by him. Not as much as a girl who just got dumped, anyways.

Persephone: I shrug, smiling. "You'll figure it out."

"Yes I'm sure you do. As do we all." Nan paused, sensing Ian's confusion through the ground. "Heh, Ian thinks your my ex. I might have to correct that particular train of thought."

Naomi sits down and looks curiously around the restaurant.

Ares smirked. "I suppose I will..." He sighed. "So...what to do till then...."

Ian gives her a small smile. "Something to drink, neighbor?" He asks, recognizing her from the apartment building he had moved into. He had greeted her this morning...At least he thought that was her...

Naomi grins when she recognizes the boy. "Sure." She says. "One ice cream float, please."

Ian puts the order in, bringing one back to her. "You live with your sister, right?"

Naomi nods. "Yeah, Ruth. I haven't seen you around before, though. Are you new?"

Apollo: "Well, if I were your ex, I won't be for long," I say, smirking.

Persephone: "Until midnight? I have a few ideas," I say, then regret it, blushing.

Nan reached across the table and smacked him on the arm. "I should take away a number for that one." She glanced at her watch, then jumped up. "Oh my gods, I'm so late!"

Apollo: I raise an eyebrow. "For what?"

She raised an eyebrow at him and left some change on the table. "You'd laugh at me if I told you. I could show you, though."

Apollo: I grin. "Then by all means, be my guide."

Nan turned on her heel and walked towards the door, waving to Ian. "I'll catch you later, okay?" And she exited the diner without waiting for a reply or her fellow god.

Apollo: "I could've opened the door for you," I say.

Ares raised an eyebrow at her as she blushed. "Oh?"

Ian nods. "Yeah, a week or so ago. Still trying to find my way around..."

Naomi nods. "Well, there isn't much here, but its still pretty nice. I she your girlfriend?" She asks, nodding to the girl who was leaving.

Ian looks over. "No, just met her too."

Persephone: I shrug. "It was just a lapse in rational thinking. Nothing serious," I say, trying to cover it up.

Naomi nods. "I see. Well, I'm Naomi. Who are you?"

"Ian," he said, sitting across from her with a smile. "Nice to meet you."
