Coffee and stuff (For Harley)

[derek_bliss]

Derek made his way into Hollister's from the street as was his usual habit. Dressed informally in jeans and a t-shirt and the ever-present cowboy boots, he looked as 'working class Joe' as a guy could get. He offered a few smiles to waitresses, a nod and a wave to Ian, and worked his way to his favorite booth in the back. Next to the stage, framed

When Harley entered Hollister's for the first time, she paused to take in everything with wide blue eyes. Harley had chosen to wear a flattering red dress today, with her blond hair pulled back from her face.

After a moment or two, she started to scan the room for Derek.

Derek let her get a look around before he raised his hand to wave her over. He stood as she got closer, and, like the gentleman he was raised to be, will help her into her seat if she allows.

She will allow him to help her into her seat, it is always a pleasure to be treated like a lady after all. She smiles warmly at him, "have you ordered anything yet?"

Derk shakes his head as he sits down across from here, "Just got here a few minutes ago. Only got some coffee. Dress looks good on you. How you doing?"

[harley_is_love]

"Well I will be glad to pay her attention, respecting her decision of course." Harley smiles again.

"Thats the thing... I played a dangerous game with one of those... vampires... as you call them. On one level I pretended not to know, but on another level I knew, because it wanted to endanger this friendship. Push you away before I started caring too much. For you. For Jun. For Chase."

"Hmn," Derek looks thoughtful, "I think you needed to do more research on me, then. I have a sister who's dating a vampire god, another friend who's married to a drug lord and mass murderer, and then there's people like Ramon who send most 'good guy' types scurrying for the nearest soap-box."

"It also helps to know that the only vampires I hunt are the ones from my homeworld...and the ones that got made on my wife's world from my own infected blood."

"More research would be willing to care more," Harley smiled. "But I want to learn. That is why I needed to tell you. To be truthful."

"That must be the reason for the enhanced senses and slightly odd characteristics."

((mun has to disappear for a bit))

[derek_bliss]

"Thank you. We're friends, Harley. And I can handle a lot, no worries."

He chuckles and shakes his head a little.

"Well...all of that is a long story. I was actually baseline until a couple of years ago. Bunch of stuff happened though, including finding the nexus."

((NP...answer when you can.))

((thought a new comment would be good about now))

"Infusion would mean a hospital, plus I am sure that would mean that I would loose my enhancements. Then what? I would not be... special... anymore."

"And it would not fix... other stuff."

"Asking someone in the Nexus would be dangerous, there are people who might want to take advantage of the situation."

[derek_bliss]

"Ah...yeah, that could be a problem."

"...Eiko cna be trusted. The one who made my dampers. She'd only attempt what you ask of her. She might even be able to keep your enhanced abilities intact."

[harley_is_love]

"I have met her."

"It would be hard to do alone. I... I have always had other people telling me what is best for me."

[derek_bliss]

"Just take the time to think about it, then. No rush, right?"
