"I didn't know where else to go" was all Celeste could say as she stumbles into the tavern. As she begins to feel around to find something to use as a guide to a seat, she feels a hand take hers as she hears a soothing voice ask, " Would you like to sit at the bar, a table, or a booth?"
The blind burgundy haired girl holds the man's hand and responds quietly, " The bar would be most convenient please." "As you wish" replies the mysterious stranger as he slowly walks her to the bar. He quickly lets go of her hand and picks her up by the waist to place her onto the bar stool.
"May I ask what your name is kind stranger?" Celeste asks hoping the man was still there with her. "Azrael" she hears him reply "and what's yours love?" Celeste felt her face get warm as she responds "Celeste.. Celeste Fusco" "Well Celeste, what kind of drinks do you like? Or are you here for a meal?" Azrael asks. "Well like I said when I came in, I didn't really know where else to go, so if you want to order something you can." Celeste replies with a bit of attitude.
Azrael orders them both a small soup and a Monk's Calm for Celeste and a Warlock's Oath for himself. As they wait for the food and their drinks Azrael asks, "So what are you doin' around these parts? It's not exactly safe for someone who's blind."
"Well, I honestly just needed to find a way to get away from home, I may be blind but I know there's something wrong there." She explains as she fidgets with her hands. The black haired man looks at her, concern in his eyes as he looks at the short woman sitting next to him.
As he was about to ask for more information, their soup and drinks were placed in front of them. Placing one hand on the rim of the bowl and the other on the outer wall, she begins to slowly spin the bowl until she felt the spoon hit her finger that was on the rim.
Azrael looking impressed noticed that the cup was just a bit too far from her reach. He reaches over, placing the cup right next to her bowl. As Celeste reaches over for her cup, placing her hand on the rim, she feels something wet. She begins to giggle as she realizes that she accidentally placed her finger into her cup of Monk's Calm. She takes her finger out and wipes it on her pants, still giggling about the mishap.
Azrael continues to stare at her, smiling as he hears the girl giggle at her own mistake. As the two eat, they enjoy conversing with one another, laughing hoping the experience will never end.
