The cafe was pretty quiet around this time of night. That's the way Thaden liked it: no distractions. He was sitting in his usual spot in front of the fireplace on a rather large bean-bag sipping a cup of coffee. Here, the mind of the wolf and the man could both find peace. It had been so long since Thaden had actually gotten out into civilization, he was beginning to wonder if he was losing all scraps of his humanity. The waitress had given him a puzziling look once he'd come in and ordered. He realized that he must have been quite a sight for the teenage girl. His long red-blonde hair matted down by sleeping in the caves and forest floor, his leather trench coat worn by the elements, along with the rest of his attire. Now, as he stared into the dancing flames, he wondered if there were any new faces in the realm of the abnormal. The scattered collection of races that roamed this relm. Lost in thought, it wasn't until someone was right over him that he noticed thier presense...

Elisa had been looking around for somewhere that was nice and quiet. She was wearing a tan dress similar to her others of varying light colors. Her long black hair was hanging like a curtain over her shoulders. A cafe caught her eye and she went inside to investigate. As she entered, she noticed that it was mostly empty. Elisa had gotten herself a mug of milk tea before coming toward the fire. There was a man there that just seemed to be staring at it, thinking. She had found that in order to not feel overwhelmed, it was best to talk about whatever bothers you. Her thought was to help him. She wasn't completely sure what he may have been, but she was confident in her abilities to protect herself. She came up right behind him, reaching out to tap his shoulder.

The tap startled the wolf inside and he reacted by quickly jumping away to face whatever it was that touched him. An involuntary growl was cut off when he noticed the girl. He felt embarassed. He'd just made a fool of himself in public...luckily there wasn't many people out this late.
"Sorry for that, " he said, looking at the floor, "you just startled me, is all." He then managed to get a better look at her. She was a beautiful girl...but there was a certain odor to her that the wolf didn't immediatly recognize. What was she? Could she be dangerous? He scanned her quickly with his eyes and he could see no sign of the Brotherhood of the Sun about her, so he eased up a bit. "Now that I've gone and embarrased myself, my name's Thaden Brooks, he said offering her his hand, "how can I be of service?"

Elisa tightened her grip on her mug, but otherwise showed no sign of being startled. "My name is Elisa. Elisa Trintis," she said, reaching her hand out to shake his. "I thought you seemed overwhelmed by your thoughts and came to offer someone to listen." Her eyes were very clear, hiding her true self deep behind the innocence. While it wasn't assumed she was dangerous, she did carry a beaver-tail knife strapped to her inner thigh. She was good with a blade occasionally as well as with archery. Being an elf, Elisa was light on her feet and that came in handy should she need to fight. However, most never picked a fight with her, assuming she was just a little girl always stuck in her own little fantasy world.

Thaden shrugged a bit and chuckled. "I suppose I've had a lot on my mind recently," he said, "why don't you sit down? Drinks are on me."He smiled as he motioned to the other bean-bag next to the fire-place. The girl's scent was driving the wolf in him crazy. The wolf was suspicious of her...and he had this driving urge not to let his guard down. But why?
She looked harmless enough, but he'd been around far too long to base things on apperances. What was she? She had this hint of the forest on her, but he knew that place inside and out...and he'd never seen her there before. Still, she had come to talk to him because she said he looked troubled. He decided that she couldn't seriously have malicious intentions. He thought it best, though, that she not know what he was...if he hadn't already given it away.
Most people had some vendetta against his kind,and due to the warnings his more primal self was sending, he gathered that she probably wouldn't be too friendly toward the Lycan population. But a harmless conversation couldn't hurt...right? "Have you passed through the forest recenty?" he asked curiously, hoping to gain a better sence of what exatly she was..

Elisa took a seat in the bean bag. She thought momentarily about the growl she had heard. She wondered if he was something like a werewolf. The smell of the forest was all over him, even without heightened senses. Then again, he could be a shape-shifter. Either way, it was nice that she could find someone to talk with. As he spoke, she smiled. "Yes. As a matter of fact, I consider it my home most of the time. I'm not really used to the city as much," she replied honestly. Elisa wondered what had prompted the question, but didn't ask. after all, she was there for him to talk to.
