Vashti fumbled with the straw in her water glass and almost poked herself in the eye as Emily asked her to share how she knew Kimberly. She let out a long um as all three of their phones buzzed right as the food arrived. She moved to shove a handful of mozzarella sticks in her mouth, wincing in agony as she was scalded by the burning hot low-moisture cheese. Vashti grabbed another one. She figured as long as she was eating food, she was expected to answer Emily’s question. A look of worry crossed Herik’s face while one of annoyance appeared on Emily, and for a moment Vashti thought they were judging her unladylike table manners. Only then did she put down the fried cheese tubes and look at the message that they all received.

[i]How?[/i] Did they get caught with a fake ID trying to purchase a twenty dollar PBR? Did that one girl try to sleep with one of the strippers? Vashti frowned, remembering what Emily had said about the Coven. Did all of them try to sleep with one of the strippers? If it was something stupid like them getting in trouble with the club security there was nothing she could do, and if it was something serious like them discovering the strip club was run by a skinwalker there was nothing she could do. Still, she felt her neophyte status tug on her sleeves. She had to make up for her unimpressive display at the meeting. 

[color=darkcyan]“Just in case it’s serious I’m going to go with Emily,”[/color] said Vashti. She pulled out a stack of twenties from her jacket and, without thinking about it, passed more than was necessary to pay for the food and leave an unforgettable tip thrice over.  [color=darkcyan]“Since you’re getting our next one, this one’s on me.”[/color]

Vashti moved to follow after Emily, but paused after taking a few steps away from the table. If things kept on spiraling out of control like this she’d never have an opportunity to tell Herik about the Leviathan, and this way she wouldn’t have to deal with the awkward car ride once she did. Quickly she whipped back around and bolted over to the table where Herik was still sitting. 

[color=darkcyan]“Also I kinda sorta omitted the fact earlier that I am also cursed to transform into a weird mutant alligator that might be the physical embodiment of chaos and wanton destruction and I’m pretty sure I punched out a federal police truck that was snooping around your guys old hideout last week and I know it sounds bad but trust me it’s actually probably worse and anyway if you could somehow bring this up to Lyss or Kayla for me that’d be great because I really don’t want to screw this up and I’m already in hot water okay anyway byeeee!”[/color] she said in just one breath, snatching a mozzarella stick and chasing after Emily before Herik could even raise a single question. 

[color=darkcyan]“Hey wait up! I’m coming too,”[/color] said Vashti, reaching Emily just as she was about to get on the moped and cruise off. She hopped on behind Emily. [color=darkcyan]“Is there like a seatbelt or a helmet or…”[/color]
