Edgar tucked a napkin into his collar just as one of the diner's wait staff brought over a steaming plate of food. Normally it would have been the usual breakfast special, which consisted of three sausage links, two eggs served sunny side up, French toast, and a mug of freshly brewed coffee, but Wright figured he'd try something new today. Well, that and he'd missed breakfast by more than four hours on account of getting a little [i]too[/i] much sleep, although he couldn't really be blamed for that. The demon he'd exorcized the night before had given him hell and more than a few bruises to boot, the majority of which he could still feel throbbing up and down his the length of his side. Ignoring the discomfort for the time being however, he picked up his knife and fork just as the plate was set down. Its ceramic expanse contained a sizzling T-bone steak plucked right of the grill, a side of buttered mashed potatoes, and sizable pile of green beans.

"Is there anything else I can get for you?" the waiter asked, notepad in hand. "Coffee or sweet tea?"

Edgar cleared his throat.

"No, thank you. This will do just fine."

"Alright, well just let me know if there's anything else you need."

"Will do," Wright replied, cutting a piece of steak free and shoving it into his mouth. Following that up with a bite of mashed potatoes shortly thereafter, Edgar directed his gaze to the window on his right as the waiter stepped away. Staring out into the world beyond, he allowed himself to become momentarily lost in thought, and was so wrapped up that he didn't even notice the woman who sat down opposite him. When he finally did take note of her presence, however, he nearly choked on an egg.

"G-goddamn it Sophia!"

He brought a hand up to his mouth in an attempt to suppress a phlegm filled hack.

"How many times to I have to tell you? Following me everywhere I go is not okay! You keep doing that shit and you're liable to get shot!"

Sophia merely flashed him a mischievous grin as she reclined in the upholstered seat. Flicking a wayward strand of hair from her eyes, she took out her phone and began typing away furiously.

Edgar sighed.

"Why are you here anyway? I thought I gave you the day off."

"You did," she said, eyes still glued firmly to the screen. "And I had planned on making the most of it, but then I stumbled across another case while prowling some internet forums."

Tearing her gaze from the phone at long last, she shot Edgar a knowing look.

"Before you ask, yes, it's legit. I checked."

Edgar gave her a small nod as he scarfed down another forkful of steak and beans.

"Alright, I'm still a little sore from the last one we worked on, but I'll give it a look. What's the client need?"

Smiling, she flipped the phone round for him to read, only to giggle manically as she watched Edgar's face and silverware fall.

"Son of a fucking bitch."

Looking up from the screen, he shot her an annoyed glare.

"They want me to kill a lich?"

Sophia nodded enthusiastically before pulling the phone away, shutting off the screen, and sliding it back into her pocket.

"Yup! They want you to kill a lich."
