[Omega] a pale encounter

"Oh, then I hope, my membership there won't be my downfall, Cerastes." she laughed softly. Somehow she had the impression, the drell was collecting all the data not necessarily in ill will. She couldn't really grasp his intentions but had an unexplainable hunch about it. No immediate danger. She looked at the cups on the table.

"What's up, would you like another coffee?"
"Funny. The humans have managed to make us dependent on their black beverage. Do you think there is an evil plan about it?"

"Only if they mean to provide an easy crutch for casual conversations." Cerastes chuckled, just to make sure his company didn't think he was being aggressive, then slowly rose to his feet. He hoped they'd get the message - he had business to get to, and all of this talking was bringing up issues he didn't want to think about.

"Afraid I've got to get moving, ladies. It's been a pleasure."

A white hand reached out, offered a shake.

"Oh, that's a shame. But of course, we interrupted you after all." Taleeze was standing up and took the hand with a mile. Drell hand felt interesting and Taleeze had only shook one other so far. She smiled.

"I think, we will see each other on CDN. I was nice talking to you." Indeed, it had been really interesting to meet the 'mystery man' of CDN in person. Of course she couldn't look into his head but he had manners that held up to his impressive appearance.
"Take care, Cerastes."

"Was a pleasure, Mr. Cerastes." Freh'ya shook his hand and nodded.

Interesting man, a real standout with a sense for fashion and manners. Freh'ya had observed a few well adjusted routines on him. But then, he was an information broker. Getting people to relax and talk was part of his business. For his line of work, he seemed one of the more likeable individuals, Freh'ya had met others during her career.

After the white drell had disappeared, Freh'ya and Taleeze payed the bill and began the walk over to Freh'ya's place.
"So, these are the people you hang with when I was away? Impressive, girl. Really impressive."
