The waffles were ruined, those wanting waffles were desperate, Charlotte was in tears, Devan had arrived seemingly out of nowhere (seriously where the hell did he come from!), the homeless girl named Ruby was curled up in the fetal position, and John had turned his intimidation up to one hundred with a knife in hand. Oh, and there was one other thing. Lorenzo’s gaze finally stopped on the man who had organized the serving of waffles during the Pancakes at the Park event. The mystery man was issuing a challenge, at least that’s what it seemed to be with the way he kept Charlotte from leading him away. Also, the way he pointed that cane of his… [color=salmon][i]He wants me to make the first move…[/i][/color] Concern painted Lorenzo’s face as he instinctively took a step back not wanting to escalate things even further. He might have been able to simply run around the man. In fact, Lorenzo was a decent enough runner, or at least he thought so. The idea of zipping past the man was favorable in his head before he realized something. Something that kept him frozen in place. [color=salmon][i]Oh dear… What if he’s faster than me?! I-I can’t tell whether or not he’d catch me. I can’t chance it![/i][/color] Lorenzo was panicking now as he did not wish to fight this man or anyone for that matter. He glanced at John again, but the thought of having him fight in his stead was risky. What if this man bested John? Lorenzo wouldn’t be able to live with that kind of a shame. To have your new doctor-friend get beaten up over spilled waffles. Lorenzo was looking around now, almost like someone searching for the nearest weapon as he backed away from the ever-still cane-wielding man. He hadn’t even taken a step forward, but Lorenzo found his stillness unsettling. All hope seemed to drift away until… [color=salmon][i]YES! HER![/i][/color] Hope finally returned to Lorenzo as his eyes landed on the perfect person for his dilemma. She was with a particular pair of children of a particular woman he had never seen eye to eye with. Literally, Lorenzo and Victoria Edwards almost never made eye contact if either of them could help it. He didn't enjoy being rude to the young Edwards but this matter in front of him was pressing! [color=salmon]“Mayeeeet!”[/color] His voice almost cracked with glee as he waved at the Alidasht royal. [color=salmon]“Mayet! My good friend! Whoops…”[/color] Lorenzo had noticed he forgot to address her by her title. That was a mistake he did not wish to make with the fierce young woman, especially with her tiger in her company. [color=salmon]“Shezzz… um uh… Oh! Shezhadi Mayet! Shezhadi Mayet, please come here! No need for a royal like yourself to sit in the grass of a public park when my garden is right across the way!”[/color] He pointed at his estate. [color=salmon]“You can bring the big cat too! My chef, Gil can prepare a tasty rare steak for the feline! We just need to walk [b]right past this gentleman[/b]. Him!”[/color] Lorenzo was pointing at the man in a similar fashion, except with his index finger. In a low voice, Lorenzo replied to the mysterious man wielding the golden skull staff. [color=salmon]“I love waffles… I really, really do but today you lose good sir.”[/color] Lorenzo’s confidence was returning as he felt he had the scariest woman he had ever met on his side now, or so he hoped… [/color]
