First meeting

Nero walked into the city and quickly heard his stomach growl. Looks like I need to find a place to eat." He said, looking around while walking. The streets were slightly packed, but not too bad. He quickly moved over to a restaurant and looked for a seat to sit at so he can eat, and he quickly found one. As soon as he sat down, he sighed and looked at the waitress who gave him a menu and walked away. Nero didn't order anything right away, infact he didn't look at the menu for a few minutes. He was watching people from inside the place through a large window. He sighed again and yawned a little, and continued to watch people just to satisfy his boredom. He then soon moved his hands to the menu and looked into it, just wondering what there was to eat in the place.

Nero looked at the woman who entered but turned to leave a few moments later. "Oh, miss! I have a seat free, if you're hungry." He said, smiling. He was feeling particularly good that day, mainly because that woman looked good to him, so he thought he'd buy her a meal. He smiled, showing her he was nice and polite, but his personality was ready to change to dark and mysterious on a moments notice. He mainly wanted to do something that would get rid of his boredom, and he didn't really want to drink alone. He quickly looked back at the menu, then back at the woman, mysteriously dressed in black, and had white hair. He soon set the menu down a little, but not enough to get a waitress's attention. He was wondering if the woman would like to sit with him and have a meal, even though they were strangers. Nero sometimes rather prefer the company to strangers than to be in the company of those he knew.

Nero smiled when she came to sit with him, but his smile faded a little when he heard her order what she did. He sighed ever so lightly and looked at the menu, and set it down. "I also take a steak, but I'd like some white wine." He said, to the waitress who came towards them. He waitress nodded and wrote down their orders. He took out his wallet and looked at how much money he'd have left. Looks like i'll have some left. He said, setting the menu down. "If it's alright for me to say, you look beautiful. And my names Nero Angelier, what's yours?" He asked, still being polite and curious. he knew that she was out of his league, but he thought it couldn't hurt to try. He knew that this meal was gonna be expensive for him, but he hoped he'd have atleast a little money left at the end of it.

Nero smiled as she said she liked being casual. "Alright Mi- I mean Ana. Sorry I'm used to being formal, it's a kinda a relief to be casual. "I'm not trying to sound macho or anything, but I'd be honored if I could pay for such a beautiful woman." He said chuckling a little. He was hoping that she would appriciate his compliment and hope she'd let him pay for everything, even if it did leave him broke. He could always make the money back, even if it did take him a while. "So, Ana, what do you do, if you don't mind me asking." He said, with a slight smiled and looking at her. He was genuinly curious, he put his arms above the table, and having his hands accidentaly show his transmutation circles a little. I wonder... He thought before trailing off of the thought and ending it.

Nero chuckled a little just before hearing her say that she was part of the military. Before he answered Ana's question, he wanted to recount his money and make sure he had enough to pay for the meal. [color=blue]"I'm an Alchemist. And I think I'll recheck my money and see if I have enough for our meals and the tax."[color] He said, taking his wallet out and recounting how much money he had. He quickly finished counting and his head fell a little in embarrisment. He chuckled embarrissedly. "It seems... I only have enough to pay for your meal and half of mine. So I'll guess I'll have to take you up on your offer." He said. At the second sentance he lifted his head and chuckled uneasily. I thought I had enough to pay." He thought, before smiling a little.

He nodded when she said that she'd be happy to pay for half, but he swallowed loudly when he heard her say it's not like they were dating. He nodded at the true-ness of that phrase. When Ana said that he had to pay her back some how, in a suductive voice. "Now what did you have in mind?" He was extrely curious, even though this is as far as he's gotten with a woman. He would always get shot down before he got this far, or he'd be force to stop, either by the womans dis-intrest of him, or the woman already had a boyfriend. Though when she had gotten to the questions about being an alchemist, he smiled and chuckled a little bit. "Being an alchemist is fun at time, but also a little annoying. And so far it hasn't been dangerous. Mainly because I'm not a military alchemist." He said before hearing her talk in a language he wasn't familiar with. He was curious of what she said, but he shrugged it off a little.

He grinned even more when she suggested a real date as a way to pay her back. He was hoping that she'd suggest that. He saw that their food had arrived, and he first tasted his white wine. The wine was aged, but not as long as Ana's, it was slightly bitter, but at the same time, sweet. He smiled at the taste and quickly, but not so quickly he looked like a savage. He still wanted to maintain some politeness. "The way that I don't find being an alchemist a little annoying is because I don't have too many things that involve me and the military." He said with a small shrug. He also listened to what she said about being back where she was, there were few alchemists. Odd, I knew alchemists were spread out, but I didn't think they were THAT spread out. He though, but quickly forgot about after taking a bite of his steak. The steak was smokey, but not too much, it wasn't too tough, yet it wasn't too soft, and it had tons of flavors. "I know why you chose what you did." He said, smiling and taking another sip of his glass of wine.

"I think you came here for the delicious food." He said, smiling. He then cintuned his smile through her second phrase, but after he hears her, he is only keeping his smile up for polite-ness and to not show that she had struck a nerve. "I'd rather not follow my brother's footsteps, and I'd also like to not name him, if that's alright with you." He said, only changing his language for that sentance. He soon finished his steak, and took another sip of his white wine. "Anyway, when would be a good day for me to repay you for paying for half of the meal?" He said, before taking another sip of his white wine. A few seconds after he took his third sip, his cheeks started to turn a little pinker, and he tried his best to show that he wasn't just beginning to get drunk, and the only way that one could tell that he was hiding his medium low tolerance for alcohol. He continued to smile, but not in a creepy way. He waited patiently for his answer from Ana.

Nero stood up and walked normally to the register along the same time as Ana, and took all of his money from his wallet to the guy manning the register, and sighed a little. He then smiled a little towards Ana. [color=blue]"I'll be looking forward to the day I repay you." He said, now happy that he let her pay for what he couldn't. He chuckled a little to himself at the thought of being on a date with Ana. "I hope you stay safe on your trip back to where ever you are working." He said, smiling and walking to the other side of her, and quickly, but gently kissing Ana on the lips. he made sure that he wasn't forcing her, but rather kiss back if she wanted to, which nero hoped she would. He stayed there kissing her until she stopped the kiss or they were kissing for too long, whichever came first.

Anastasiya was surprised when he kissed her, tasting the wine from his lips. At first she wanted to push him away, slap him and call him an animal but now that she thought about it; it was gentle and wasn't pushing her. It gave her some closure.
She kissed back, playfully biting his bottom lips. Slowly, she distanced herself and laughed when red lipstick got onto his lips. Anastasiya bought out a white hankercheif and started wiping the lipstick from his lips.
"Better." She said with a smile, tucking the hankercheif back inside her jacket. Anastasiya gave him one last look, as if to remember what he'll look like when they meet again.
"I have a feeling we will meet again soon. Just in unexpected places."She said playfully yet with a mysterious tone to it. With that, she turned around and exited the resturant, the black figure getting smaller and smaller until she completely diappeared...

[Exit----->Drachma]

Nero smiled as she wiped her lip stick off of his lips. He wouldn't have otherwise known until he looked into a mirror, and he chuckled to himself, still hoping the day he can rpay her back would come soon. That woman is awesome! Nero thought to himself, smiling in happiness for what had just happened. "Until we meet again Ana." He said, watching her become a dot into the distance after just leaving the place. He walked back to the table and quickly finished the white wine he had, after remembering he had it. He quickly moves out of the building, with a smile on his face. I feel lucky to have met such a nice woman. He thought, turning right after leafing the restaurant. He quickly lost his balance out of being drunk and fell onto the ground and rolled out of the area.
