Ramona walked into the restaraunt and up to the counter, can I get a lasange and a coffee please, she asked the woman behind the bar, she went and sat back down at a table, pulling out her blackberry and texting her friends. Her coffee arrived and 15 minutes later her lasange arrived, she picked up her knife and fork and began to cut up the lasange into bits, forking it into her mouth

Tishy! <33333
 

Rinatta was glad that the relationship discussion had ceased. She just didn't want to think about it anymore. She wasn't going to try and make one happen or not happen either way. She was just going to let everything be as it would. If she developed a real relationship with Jared, good. If she didn't, oh well. She wasn't certain that they would be good together either, she just wanted a companion. She had quite a bit in her past that she kept secret and someone as innocent as Jared might not be the best choice for her. If things didn't straighten or become more, she was perfectly fine with being friends.

"Prost, cheers." she mirrored Dessie's motion and sipped down some of her tea. She casually picked at her chicken and some pizza ,taking her time and savoring the flavors. That was the best part about food, how it tasted.

When Dessie asked about how to eat fish and chips Rin smiled. "Well that varies from person to person. Salt is optional. Either cutlery or hands, though I myself use fingers. Malt vinegar just brings out the best flavour in my opinion." She moved a few fries onto her plat along with two pieces of fried fish. She took the malt vinegar from the side of the table and while holding one piece, doused it lightly with the vinegar. She took a small bite from the end and smiled. It was PERFECT. "Mmm, now that is divine."

Blair walked up to the restaurant. She needed to get a bit to eat. She walked in and looked around. She felt a little out of place. She started to bit her bottom lip. She didn't kow many people and it made her feel even more out of place. She started to back up to leave when she bumpped into someone coming in."Oh I am so sorry I wasn't watching where I was going."She softly to the person as she turned around to see who it was that she ran into.

Sawyer was just walking into the restaurant when suddenly he was colliding with one of the customers. The woman rushed out an apology, but he simply smiled and shook his head. "No worries. You're all right, then?" He lifted his eyebrows as he inquired after her, waiting for a response.

Blair smiled softly as she saw how cute the guy was she ran into was. "I'm fine but again I'm sorry to run into you. I was going to stay but I don't know anyone in here. And I don't like eating alone. I might just go home and order in or something."She said as she started biting her bottom lip once again. She couldn't help but blush a little bit.

"Well, I was just planning on getting a quick bite to eat, but you're welcomed to join me, if you'd like." Sawyer didn't have too much time until he had to get back to work, but he figured there was plenty for a short meal with the woman. He met her eyes. "I'm Sawyer Camden, by the way. I work with Ministry Security. And you might be..?"

"I guess so. I'm Blair Kyle I'm in International Cooperation." Bliar said to him as she held out her hand. She started to blush a little bit. She never thought she would meet a cute guy like him before.

"Pleasure to meet you, Blair," Sawyer said as he shook her outstretched hand. He couldn't tell whether she was bluching, or if her face just happened to naturally have a pinkish color to it. "So," he motioned towards the restaurant. "Are we just going to stand here all day, or would you like to eat?"

"I'm coming."She said walking with inside. "It's nice to meet you too Sawyer."She said softly as she looked around then back at him. She wonder what the food was like and what he was really like. She started to bit her bottom lip once more.

She smiled. "Paris is a dangerous combination or Riddle and Greenwood. I'm just glad she loves us," Egypt giggled. Egypt had heard horror stories from Paris and the parents of children who had found themselves on the wrong side of Paris' wand.

She clinked her water glass with Nathan's wine glass. "Its a job I take very seriously," she giggled. She loved shopping and dressing up her boys. Even if she had to hex them into the clothes sometimes.

She didn't want to see him upset but then she didn't want Paris to be upset. Both of them could be right pains in the backside of they were upset and it was just easier to make them both uncomfortable enough to talk with each other and sort out their problems. There was no way Paris could stay made at her father, but she could throw a nice tantrum and have the whole house held hostage till her mood changed. And Egypt would rather just avoid that and have Nathan talk to his daughter. "That is all it will take Nathan. You know how Paris gets. She just wants you to go to her." And that would be the end of it. Nathan would get to spend time with his daughter and Paris would get her time with Nathan and more than likely a shiny new piece of jewelery to gush over.

She folded her arms across her chest. "I am not jealous of Miriam. She is a nasty little mirror," Egypt told him. Miriam had gotten all the other mirrors to give Egypt a hard time when she had threatened to toss her out. If Egypt thought Nathan wouldn't have a complete meltdown she would have let JoJo and Diggy have a whack at Miriam. But there was no telling how Nathan would react to something that drastic.

She tried not to giggle, but it was an apt comparison. She reached across the table and gently cupped her husband's cheek. "I'm not going to let her hurt you or our family any longer." she told him gently. If she never spoke to her mother again it would be alright with her. She had hurt Egypt deeply, and worse she had hurt Nathan and her children. "Me and my father will get passed this," she smiled. She wasn't going to come between her father and her mother, but she didn't want to stop speaking to her father. "If you honestly want to go speak to my mother I will stand by you and support you." She would do anything he wanted her to do. Her mother had been putting Nathan through hell since the day they met. Granted Nathan had drank more than was needed but her mother had made him nervous and her critical comments hadn't helped.

She shook her head. That's what he always said but he freaked out every time they had another baby, but he was always alright in the end. She wanted another girl. There were enough boys in the Greenwood family. But this time she would leave it up to Nathan, "We will do whatever you feel is best. If you don't want to have anymore children that is alright with me." And she meant it, she wanted more children but not if Nathan didn't.

Sawyer walked into the restaurant with Blair. It wasn't long before the cheerful hostess approached them and showed them to their seats, a small table for two. Being the gentlemanly guy that he was, he pulled out Blair's seat for her before walking over and sitting in his own. Hmm. Now, what to order..?

She fellowed Swyer to the table and nodded to him as he pulled out her chair. And watched him walk over the the other end of the table. "I don't know this my frist time here."She said to him as she smiled at him softly.

This is making me hungry! :P
 

Hmm.

No, Dessie wouldn't just Rin based on the fact that she was drinking tea. Nope, nope, that would be wrong of her.

"I like salty food - salt makes thing taste better, I always say," Dessie nodded and added a little salt to the small pile she had formed on her plate. Picking up her knife and fork - she was never really one for eating with her hands, the exception of course being pizza - and had begun to cut when she realised what was missing.

While Dessie was not really fond of vinegar in any form, she DID like lemon. And she knew for a fact that lemon went well with fish. Finding one on the table, Dessie squeezed it over her fish and watched with satisfaction as the juice ran down her food. Yum!

Putting the lemon down and wiping her hands in her napkin, she finally took a bite. "Oh my - you're quite right, this stuff is delicious!" Dessie remarked as she swallowed and immediately moved to cut up another bite.

Sawyer glanced over the menu. "Well, you can't really go wrong. The food is excellent," he told her. It wasn't long before their waitress came over. He offered a smile and asked for ice water. "Yes, lemon is fine," he told the woman before looking to Blair.

"I will have what he is having."She said softly. She wonder what Drago was doing right now. Her mind kept going back to Drago ever sense she met him.

Asher's stomach growled as he sat down at a table in the restaurant waiting for Chloe to sit with him. He gave her a smile, knowing that the new decision he had made would make her very very happy, even if it would be at least another month or two before it would be put in place...if it would happen at all.

Chloe hurried into the restaurant looking around for her hubby fiance. Spotting him waiting patiently at the table, she rushed over to him, her heels making their usual clicking against the floor. When she reached him, she gave him a quick kiss on the cheek and then slid into the seat across from him. "Hello my love! Sorry to make you wait. I was dealing with some things in the office!" she said with an apologetic smile before taking a deep breath and then exhaling, allowing herself to relax and just be present here with him without worrying about other things. "How has your day been?" she asked, reaching across the table and laying her hand on top of his.

"It's alright, you're the woman in charge up there." He laughed at her as he returned her kiss on the cheek. How was his day? "Good, the normal down there." He said referencing to the Department of Mysteries. And the normal being in good health, he was after all not pale as a sheet anymore. "But I thought you were amazing with handling all those people in your office at once." He grinned, which would bring him to his news...but he didn't want to blurt it out...he was really excited about this, and he knew for a fact Chloe would be too.

Chloe nodded and looked away as he said work was, "normal." Whatever that meant. Even know that she was a department head she wasn't allowed to know what he did at work, and with every day that their wedding got closer, the more that seemed to bother her. And when she thought about having kids with someone who couldn't tell her about her work, well she just about lost it thinking about that. So, in general, she just stayed away from the children conversation.

When he complimented her efforts at work, though, she couldn't help but smile. "Thanks. It's been hard, and to be honest I'm pretty exhausted, but I'm loving my new job so, SO much," she said, now positively beaming because, to be honest, Chloe liked being in charge. She was a natural leader.

Asher smiled back at her as she began to speak of her new Ministry position. He was starting to get antsy and he knew if he kept in any longer that famous Russian accent would soon make an appearance and he didn't want to get frustrated when he spoke of his new decision.

"Chloe." he began gripping her hands gently, "I've been thinking long and hard, thus the reason for holing myself up in the library for hours on end at home." He stated thinking of Junior who had been very oddly quiet lately. "I've been thinking that I might, no I'm going to put in for a transfer." He told her with a grin, squeezing her hands just a little and relaxing his body, happy he had finally told her what he was so thoughtful over the few days.

Chloe looked Asher in the eyes seriously as he said her name and gripped her hands. This was serious Asher, and the last time she had seen him like this, he had proposed, so what was he up to? Ahh... she was finally going to get a reason for his extreme distance lately. As the words came out of his mouth, her eyes widened, and at first she didn't know what to say. Her immediate reaction was to feel bad, though, because she knew he was doing this for her. "Asher..." she began, looking down at their hands and then back up at him, "Please don't do this for me, okay? I can deal with it. If you like your job, please don't transfer. I don't want you put in some job you're not going to be happy at," she said, matching him in seriousness.

"Chloe." He started again rubbing the tops of her hands. "It's okay. I don't really like not being able to share things with you. And I know how eerie you were after the issue with me being sick and everything." He told her. "And, I need a change of scenery, I love the department and everything, but I want to try something new. You know how it feels, trying something new." He told her with a beaming smile speaking of her promotion again. "And, I mean, I still have a couple of months before I can put in for a transfer, so we can talk about it all we want between now and then." He paused looking at her, seeing if she was understanding what he was saying.

"Its not only just for you." he paused again. "I want our family in the future to be able to know what I do, why I spend so many hours at work and not just knowing that I do work that I can't speak of." He told her lightly, he was thinking in the long run, not just the present.

Chloe felt the familiar tingling in her skin as he rubbed the top of her hands, and she couldn't help but smile a little. As he spoke, she listened to him carefully, nodding her head to show that she understood what he was saying. She supposed that she couldn't stop him from doing this, and actually, she was really happy to hear it. It would clear just a little bit of that tension in her life right now if she knew that Asher was safe at work and not in danger of getting violently ill in the office.

When he said the words, "our family," her eyes snapped up at him and stared into his steadily not with fear, but it was something very-nearly resembling shock. Then, her face broke out into a wide smile, one her truest most genuine Asher!smiles. "You've never said that before... our family. I was starting to think that maybe you didn't want to have kids what with still sort of taking care of the boys and Zi. I didn't know how to bring it up, but I guess this means, you do... want to have kids of our own, I mean?" she asked, bubbling with excitement.

Asher grinned at her, they were definitely having a very serious conversation of the future...but yet he couldn't STOP smiling. "I talked to Devon and Corbin just before I met you here, and they're actually getting a place here in London." He beamed. "So they'll still be close but not far away we'll never see them, and of course, they'll be home often. Maudi wouldn't let them away for too long at a time." He chuckled. "And Zi..." he trailed. "She's a good kid, she'll probably stay with us a while longer, but she's still a kid that's growing up fast. And I think we'll all know when she's ready to go conquer this crazy world."

"You see, Chloe, the kids are growing up, and we've had to take care of ourselves. And I know I've been the one who has always been there for them, and I always will be, but I've got to let go at some point." He paused and leaned back, what was his point? Oh, that he DID want kids with Chloe.

"I definately want kids of our own if you want them too." He told her, he knew thought that she most likely would want kids, she was a people person and would be an amazing mother.
