Bri looked at Evan when Saul seemed sad about their aunt being away so much. She didn't realize he had missed her that much. "Well if you want to crash at our place so you can see Anais more you can." She offered. "We have a pull out couch." She offered, though the subject was changed when the taco girl bumped into Saul. Evan and her cackling at the world's worst pick up line ever. "Oh come on Saul she totally was." She said before mocking a flirty tone. "She wants all of that good taco meat." Then Saul said he couldn't find his wallet and Bri frowned when he said he must have just left it at home. "No, Saul. You bought our tacos, remember." She insisted. "She must have stolen it." When he said that his mom was visiting Bri smiled. She still hadn't met Saul's mom yet, but from what their father had said while drunk, and what Anais told them the woman was awesome."I can hear it now. Her blowing a gasket and then being super whiny when Anais tells her off. Do you think we can meet her this time?" Saul then asked her if she could help him with his inventions. Seriously. Was this like the best day ever? Good food, drama, and how he wanted her help. She smiled excitedly, she always adored her brother's stuff even if it wasn't the type of science she was good at. "Absolutely! How am I helping? Do I get to ice something?" She asked quickly with a slight bounce before she caught herself. "I ..mean if I have time." She added ignoring Evan's giggle at her. -- Naomi would be lying if she said that she didn't jump a bit when an arm looped in with hers. She looked at that woman before looking behind her. Oh great she thought that maybe she had shook him in the crowd. Must be a bloodhound or something. Then the man tumbled over and she glanced at the woman again. "Um...thank you. It was kind of my fault he was following me though." She sheepishly admitted taking the guy's wallet out of her bag. The woman looked at her phone and Naomi frowned thinking maybe she was calling the cops but she smiled and said something about her friend. She chuckled at the woman's joke. Before the offer to join her was thrown out. Naomi chuckled a bit. "I mean, I can just give it back. But sure, I have nothing else to do. Hold on." She said, before going back to the guy and giving him the wallet back. Quickly pocketing the lose $100 before heading back to the woman. "I'm Naomi by the way." -- Jamila blinked a little bit, one moment she was talking to Zayden. The next moment, some girl had bumped into her, and the girl's friend was handing her plate back. "It's fine." She replied out of habit, a slight growl and tune of annoyance. Not at the girl as much as the simple fact that she had been just walked into. Zay couldn't help but look over the guy that caught Mila's plate. Not only because the guy was attractive, but those quick reflexes were definitely pretty impressive. He wasn't really sure if he had been caught when the guy smiled. But he smiled, gaze quickly going back to the girl talking again. When the girl went on to apologize again going on about not being used to crowds Mila felt a little bad for the annoyance. "It's fine really, moving through crowds is hard for even us used to it." She said softly before looking at the guy talking. "Ah…." Was all she should get out before the girl started apologizing again. "It's fine, though, if it's your first time here. You should go to the taco truck they have here. It's the best in the area." She said, finally getting her off of apologizing and into an actual conversation. Mila nodded a bit when she asked about the strawberry sauce with hers. "Yeah, you have to ask for it, but the strawberry kind of cuts through the sugar. You can try it if you want." She explained. As her friend came back over. Zay smiled a little at Siddiq as he introduced himself. He glanced at Val when she spoke. "You're doing better than you think" He said "I'm Zayden, and the grumpy one is my sister Jamila." He added, looking at Siddiq, his eyes sweeping only slightly. "I have to say you definitely have some quick reflexes. It was pretty impressive." Zay said, taking a slightly flirty test of the waters undertone. Mila smiled a bit at Val. "So, are you guys meeting up with a group for meetings? If not, do you want to join us?" -- Delonna frowned at the half careless answer that she got to her question. If it was something that little…."You have sent four messages this week Amal. [b]She knows.[/b]" She said before the subject changed. When Darius said he would like some of her crops she smiled. "That goes for you too, Aetulia." She added. When she brought up the business of the Abyss it was more for Aetulia and Darius than for Amal. He didn't care about the Abyss clearly and it was good. Because it was a better place without him stepping inside it. She nodded to Aetulia as she offered Drakstin and the sentinels to help her. "It would be most appropriated." She looked at Darius and nodded to him too. "Thank you. I know she rules those sides tighter." She replied before Amal said something finally. "I've found a few things off. A few beings that don't belong there that aren't a threat." She was cut off by the noise out before she could saying she was looking for the man Life had spoken of. Delonna watched Darius jump up for Val before Aetulia calmed him. If only he seemed to care for the poor girl that much all the time. There wasn't much business left to the meeting. She had Darius down anything else they might have needed in his clan she might be able to get. Then the meeting was ended thankfully. She had to gather her stuff quickly to be able to catch up with Aetulia. "Tulia wait." She called after her. "Can we get lunch? You understand the money thing better than me?" -- While Becca didn't actually see the girl turn into a chair. A little more certained with that the new boy hadn't to head with Sybil's ghouls outside. She herself had only dealt with Sybil in passing, but something about that woman gave her the creeps. She did notice that there was one more chair than before at the table. With a smirk she sat on the table beside Tobias crossing her legs and whispered softly in his ear. "Told you he would show off today. You owe me a drink darling." Her eyes glanced at the chair when Tobias gestured to it. Well that was surely a bad idea. Good thing he knew which one it was. Nireen had no way of knowing how much time had passed, nor what was going on around her. She was a chair. She had no ears or eyes. She could feel the movements around her from her magic. She could feel a lot of powerful beings around her and then some of them leave. Luckily no one had sat on her or that would have hurt. To be honest, this was the stupidest panic shift she had ever done. She would give it...that was a strong pat at the back of her chair. She didn't who it was and did not shift back. Feeling around her for answers. The next pat was a few seconds later, on what would be her seat and it was much softer. After a second she shifted back, staring up at the guy that had caught her in his arms earlier. Becca let out a soft bell like laugh. "See Warren, don't be such a man." Nireen stood quickly, looking at Warren like she was expecting him to attack her before glancing at the others. "Um...thank you. I'm sorry." She said guardedly before going to head out of the tent. -- Chris was barely listening as Denise droned on talking on her phone while they walked. Normally the meetings were supposed to be the place to talk business. At least the ones that he had been too. But here his [i]wife[/i] was talking about things and how she felt they should be with the newer members on her phone. Any intelligent person knew what she was doing though. The new members wanted someone to look up too, to help them understand the politics. Which of course Denise was happy to wiggle in and [i]help[/i] them out. He rolled his dark chocolate eyes a bit when she glared at him for not keeping up. Not that he honestly gave a shit about politics, he had given his family's seat to Anais years ago. The only good thing about being at the food festival was the food. Also the alcohol. It wasn't the easiest to sneak in himself but he knew some of the owners of the food trucks and they would sneak him in some. Like the taco truck his kids liked, he made sure they came back every year for his kids because the owner owed him a lot of favors. Not that they knew that of course. He would rather they think he was always drunk and useless so that it didn't hurt them as much when he was. Not to mention giving out bottled fire to warlocks was a little more than frowned upon. Chris pulled out his phone as he followed Denise, sending out a few texts letting people he knew that he would be here. As well as texting Evan. [i]I'm sure your mother has been blowing up your phone. But we are at the festival in case she decides to go looking for you girls.[/i] As he hit the send button he got a message from Anais saying that she was going to be at the meeting and wanted to see him after. His lips formed a smile as he said he was looking forward to it. She was worth having Denise bitch at him. The two of them hated each other with a passion. It was a bit hilarious honestly. Chris wasn't looking at where he was going over his phone and groaned frowning as someone knocked him to the ground. At least his phone didn't crack. He took the hand offered to him by the woman that knocked him down. "It's fine. Should have been watching where I was going." He answered before dusting himself off before looking at the woman. He froze in his tracks as he saw her face. "Temp?" His voice lowered to a confused whisper as he said it. A loud sigh came from a bit in front of him. "Hold on Crystal, my husband got distracted." Denise said still on the phone before roughly grabbing Chris by the elbow and pulling on him. "Yeah, you would think he would be better sober." She added with a chuckle pulling him behind her without even paying attention to who he was talking to. Or the fact he was still looking at Temp until she got out of sight. Chris pulled himself free as she hung up. "Could you be a little fucking less embarrassing at least today Christopher? We're in public, don't make me have to ruin your daughter's fun to babysit you. " She snapped quietly at him. "If I'm embarrassing you go off by yourself, Denise." He snapped back at her. She gave a shocked and hurt looked and gasped. "Why are you snapping at me? You're going to make a scene. Calm down sweetie." She said in a hurt tone making herself look the victim to the people passing that couldn't hear her. Chris frowned at her before signing. "Sorry…..I'm getting a drink." He said ignoring the eye roll as he got as he wandered off angrily. As she went off to find the tent.
