"It's growing late. . ." Kaltain crossed her arms across her chest, decorated fingers tapping against her arm as her mind wandered. "So much to do, and so little time."

"Apologies for my temporary departure, I was. . . occupied."

"It's quiet, for an evening like this."

"A lively night. My favourite."

"Getting rowdy, I see." Mused the diplomat, making no efforts to ease the raising tensions.

"A table for two at such short notice? That tells me you have influence, Soros, or simply the company of Lady Luck." Kaltain stated aloud, quickly falling into step beside him, the click of her heels on the tarmac punctuating the quiet evening. x.com/AMagicalChef/s…

"Mmh. . . Good evening."

"It's unusually quiet for a Sunday. . . have I missed something?"

"Finally. Things are livening up."

"My younger days were often filled with a lot of excitement. . ."

Indepth view.

"So much talk of violence. Surely there are better ways to resolve conflict?"

"I'll admit, being influential does have its perks, I've seen that first hand myself." She stated, not only referring to her work that revolved around influence and power, but her own; the subtle impact she had, orchestrating in the background. "I'm an open book, I assure you." x.com/AMagicalChef/s…

"Little black book?" Her eyes followed his hands as they pulled a book from his back pocket, her eyebrows raised in evident curiosity. "Fae, if you want to be technical about it. But 'elf' is accurate enough. So far, so good, but basic information is something anyone can get." x.com/AMagicalChef/s…

"Well then, please, don't let my brash interruption stop you." She encouraged, her emotions very well masked - a person like had perfected the art of the 'poker face'. "You should be careful, keep reading my lifestory and we'll have nothing to talk about over dinner." x.com/AMagicalChef/s…

"There are far too many straying eyes and listening ears for me to discuss my work in public." Whilst she had no doubts this man could probably dredge up her entire past and present without lifting a finger, she did like some things kept quiet. "I appreciate your discretion." x.com/AMagicalChef/s…

"Planning a little ahead of schedule aren't we?" She commented, amused by his confidence that she would be interested in further meetings already. Following his gesture to turn, she shot him a surprised glance. "A popular place, I take it? And frequented by the wealthy." x.com/AMagicalChef/s…

"The talk of the evening is of our sexual exploits, I see." Doesn't deign to join in. She doesn't kiss and tell unless it benefits her.

"I'll be amongst people who find that intelligence and charisma are valued above brute force and strength. What a pleasant change." Kaltain smiled at his chivalrous gesture, quietly thanking him as she removed her wide brimmed hat for convenience's sake before entering the car. x.com/AMagicalChef/s…

"Mmh. Good morning." She has the morning to herself, hence why she's still in her silken night attire and quietly sipping a cup of tea.
