Soshi nodded briskly, like a flick, and went for more chips. He felt pleased when he saw the bottom of the salad dish. He tutted when she mentioned the tomatoes and he took the dish. "I'll eat them," he said, taking one and suckling it before crunching it. Who needs sex when you have good food? "Thanks... for keeping me company," he mumbled, slightly embarrassed. But it was worth it, he had what he needed... so why did he feel yet so much more drawn to this girl? "Mira," he said, swallowing a warm and crispy chip. "Where do you live? I think I should walk you home." And, once again, completely forgetting how wrong that must have sounded. He was only being courteous.

Mira let him take the plate and watched him crunch the tomatoes, "Youre welcome..." She said smiling then took a chip deciding they were tasty, but didnt eat anymore. 6 chips, a salad and water, she felt bloated. Looking down at the table waiting for him to finish and heard him say her name. She looked up, "Hmm?" She said then she bit her lip. She was going to the manor, where Vi and all the other gifteds were. That wouldnt be good, "Thanks for the offer. But that isnt a really good idea..." Mira said trying to pick the right words.

Thinning his eyes at the thin girl, Soshi swallowed another chip. "You do have a home, I suppose?" he said. "And if you're as clumsy as you were earlier, then you're not going to do well on your own when it's so busy." He seemed to intrigued by this girl he just felt like making a difference. Then he sighed and stood up, wiping his mouth with a serviette. "But I guess I'm just bored," he said coldly his gaze suddenly turned away. He brushed his slender trousers, adjusted his ponytail and then, with a quick toss, swept his fringe out of his eyes. "Whatever," he murmured, taking out his notepad and scribbling random notes down about her appearance and attitude.

"Dont think of me as ungrateful for this, but I- It isnt a good idea for you to walk me to where I'm going thats all." Mira said in regard to his cold reaction, "I'm not usually clumsy... I'm sure I'll be alright. Its your choice though. I cant stop you from walking me home, if you want to." Mira said holding her hands up then putting them back on the table and put them around the glass of water, sipping at it a bit more. Mira thought he was going to leave when he stood up and started to wipe off his troussers from crumbs. Instead he sat back down and started to scribble in the note pad again eventually flicking a glance toward her every once in a while then got back to scribbling, obviously about her, "What are you writing?" Mira asked getting paranoid.

Soshi then eyed her with interest. "Good, I'll pay and we'll head off then." He said, though he did not smile with relief or satisfaction - I did not want to expect something great and then be let down by a dull house with a simple family. He quickly put away his notebook. "I told you, I'm writing a novel." he lied. Though, it wasn't half-wrong - it was notes FOR his upcoming novel that he didn't want to forget. He switched on his sensitive hearing and listened to her heart beat. Well, at least that was healthy, if not faster than his own. "Let's hope this food has helped you, even if it was just a salad and six whole chips." When he'd paid, he pulled up his collar and walked towards Mira, his eyes glancing downwards at her. "Lead the way."

Mira figured it was for the novel, but she wanted to know what he was actually writing that was so important whilst he was with her. She quickly finished her water whilst he paid and waited by the cafe door, "I'm fine. Seriously the food today could last me for a long time." She answered to his statment about the food she had ate. She stepped out the cafe into the Christmas Morning. She didnt smile though at the day, it was just a normal day to her. She started to walk back towards where she had bumped into him and he walked alongside her. Deciding she would mention about the notes, "About your notes. If' their about me for your novel. I'm not the best girl to take notes for by the way." She said not mentioning her previous job line... he might as well just run away right now if he found out.

Shoving his hands in his pockets, Soshi scoffed at Mira. "'Not the best girl to take notes for' that's enough," he snapped, though humour glittered in his eyes. "You're unusual, beautiful and stubborn," he said tonelessly, though he wasn't sure whether that was a bad thing, considering he was complimenting and insulting her. "Just lead the way." As they contined to walk, cars roared by an filled the air with grey, disgusting gases. People rushed by, splashing puddles and bustling - what an unpleasant city. "I'm a romance novelist, but don't flatter yourself," he said. "It's going to end in tragedy."

"Actually, I'm not as stubborn as you think I am." Mira answered to his list of what she was, "I know I'm unusual, but I'm not pretty so you might as well strike that off your list..." She said still walking towards the manor which was not far, "I'm not flattering myself. I'm just saying their is another person out there, better suited for the novel." Mira said not saying anything about the tragic ending, most romance novels do end that way. She craned her neck and looked up, wincing as she did so from the injury in her neck, and realised they were approaching the manor. She bit her lip wondering how she was going to get away from Soshi, she knew that Vi wouldnt like it if she led a gifted right to their hide out which what she thought it was, "Listen, My house is right down there. I think I'll go the rest of the way on my own." She said trying again, "Thanks for the food, it helped. Good luck with your novel..." She said and then started to walk away slowly...

Soshi scoffed when she denied all of his statements. Mira was interesting, he knew it. She seemed desperate to get away from him. Perhaps he wasn't used to girls not trying to get his attention all the time and he felt offended. Then, something struck him like hot acid. He gasped and staggered backwards, staring at the surroundings around him. He'd seen it before, this certain area... "Where is this?" he hissed, rushing to Mira and taking her shoulder, staring at her. "Even if you refuse to answer, I'm going to keep walking, alright?" It was the district in a dream he once had. Someone had called to him and nailed him with words that scarred him, words that he'd never forget. But even the romance novelist doesn't know what defines the two Loves...

Mira was just about to walk into the Manor grounds when Soshi grabbed her shoulder turning her around and he was staring at her. She was taken aback slightly by his hiss at her, "I- errr..." Oh Christ how to answer this... She thought, "I dont know. I just moved to this neighbourhood today actually, living with some freinds..." She answered. Wasnt a lie but not the complete truth either. She couldnt tell him she was living in a house full of gifted people, ones that could probably kill him, "Why?" She asked curious.

Soshi twitched at her unsettled reaction. He heard her heartbeat and he thinned his eyes. "Stop stretching the truth and tell me where this is - do you know anyone particularly special in this area?" He released her, and calmed down. He could hear whispers, coming from a great house that lay nearby. He strained to hear, but there were so many. He froze, curious beyond belief. "I'm on a search, Mira. I need all the clues I can get..."

She wondered for a moment at how he knew she was lying partly, probably another gift of his, "I'm not lying to you but I just... cant tell you." She answered feeling really horrible, at the fact she couldnt help him but he helped her, "I'm sorry, but I cant. " She said feeling even more horrible at the fact she was doing it purely to save her own skin, "Why do you want to know if more gifted people live in this area anyway?" She asked really curious herself.

Soshi froze. "I never mentioned the word 'gifted' ... so there are such people in there." He bent down to stare at her bright eyes. "I'm sure you figured out that I'm just like them." And with that, he vanished, his feet moving faster than the wind. A blur was left where his body was, and perhaps shock. He wasn't sure why he felt so bad, taking advantage of this girl. He was bound to meet her again, anyway. He would take her hatred there and then.

Mira turned and tried to grab his clothes before he left however he was much to fast and was probably miles away before she even turned around, "You didnt have to say gifted..." she said to nobody, "I already knew..." She continued in a low voice. Sighing she continued to walk toward the manor and turned inside the grounds.
