"I'll just have water," Benjamin said, looking at the male demon, and turned his attention to Duncan after that. "Let's do that someday." As much as he enjoyed the company of the girls, it would be nice to go out with Duncan too. He seemed like a nice guy after all. He looked at Steph sitting next to him. "And if we feel like going out again, we can go too." A place where she would be accepted without having to uphold an illusion had to be easier for her too. And now he know where this place was he could get here without having to make it a double date. Which, if this hadn't been a work lunch, this could have been one already. He smiled a bit to himself, he wasn't sure if Steph would feel the same way about it, but he liked to think about it like that.

Ethan unpacked his own sandwich and took a bite from it. "I've agreed to meet the others at the old church tonight at ten. We will visit a park where vamps seem to hang out in the beginning of the night and observe them for a bit. Probably kill one too, but since I'm still a beginner they're taking it slow. Yesterday they had me practise on a dummy to get the stake in the heart at the first attempt and then I had to finish one of those bastards they had caught the night before, it had killed several humans the past week and it was chained to a wall. He hissed and promised to kill us all when he'd get out." He shrugged. "Didn't give him the chance. Then we patrolled and they showed me how to recognize vampires and we even battled one, but it was Morrison he finished him off."
As he talked about the last night, to give Gaia an idea of what she could expect, he ate from the sandwich. It was decent, but nothing like his mother made. That reminded him he probably should visit his parents, they lived in the city after all, although they probably didn't know about all the other beings that lived there too.
