The woman he was with was very pretty, and Ryan looked nervous maybe? Possibly. Now Calla was torn. Was she to be nice and not bother him, ooorrr be her normal sarcasm self and interrupt? The temptation was too much.

She marched toward Ryan and his date, snatched a chair from another table and scooted it between the would be lovers. "Ryan." She nodded acknowledging him, and then turned to the woman in the brown dress. "So, how long did they allow him out of St Mungo's for tonight? Usually it's just a couple hours." She leaned toward the woman, "His mental capabilities can't handle more than a bit of stimulation. I'm really surprised he's able to deal with all this." She motioned to the restaurant.

Leaning back in the chair she looked to Ryan, speaking to the woman she continued, "Although he has gotten better with his social skills. They're allowing him to work part time at the ministry even. Gave him a cute title of division head or something to make him feel better about himself. I think it helps build him up ya know?" She nodded, agreeing with herself.

Calla looked back at Ryan and spoke slow and very pronounced, "How.are.you.feeling.tonight?" She placed her hand his upper arm and did her best to look concerned. It took ever bit of her will not to laugh, but she held it in and held a very serious face the entire time.

Obviously, from the way she did that and the expression her face, he observed that she sensed that one was different from the others. It even surprised the man himself for he believed he was never going to be taken away out his world of investigation and analysing again like that.

And he was about to remark one of the sentences built by his chosen words on not thanking for the truth again when she had said he was handsome which had surprised him. He knew mostly women considered him handsome but they never said it directly like that using words. They were implying it by their actions. Words were different though since using them was generally beyond expressing simple physical attraction. ''Thank you'' he repeated the woman's words and picked up the menu like she did.

''Mmmm actually, i have no idea but i can find out if you'd like me to.'' he laughed ''I'm pretty good at investigation and that...'' the blond man halted immediately when he saw, heard, sensed Calla there. '...would be so easy for me' And what was she saying? Groan. He should have guessed that. He should have foreseen that Calla would try to have revenge or try to do something she considered funny. And ruining a date of his, of course, would be a good opportunity for that.

Ryan simply laughed at the red-headed woman once she was done and responded ''I am fine Calla. Thank you. And you look fine too, if you have your full sense of humour. Noe can you please leave us alone? We are busy.''
