The refill was just as quick as the last; it was next to her just as her sentence finished.

“First one’s free. Next will cost you, my G.”

[𝘿𝙖𝙨𝙝𝙖𝙪𝙣 “𝙍𝙪𝙨𝙝“ 𝙒𝙖𝙧𝙙 @HellOfARush]

“Oh yeah. 𝙂𝙤𝙙 𝙤𝙛 𝘽𝙚𝙚𝙧, great guess.” He mocked, lips remaining quirked.

“Y’know, I almost thought you were federal but any fed would’ve clocked me by this point.”

And besides, if she were federal, he wouldn’t be wasting his time here. He’d be out in a flash.

“You mean like that Doctor Strange guy?,” He grinned and shook his head. “Nah. That’d be cool as hell though.”

His head cocked to the side, smug grin forming.

[𝘿𝙖𝙨𝙝𝙖𝙪𝙣 “𝙍𝙪𝙨𝙝“ 𝙒𝙖𝙧𝙙 @HellOfARush]

“Yeah?”

A refilled and seemingly 𝙙𝙞𝙛𝙛𝙚𝙧𝙚𝙣𝙩 glass of alcohol sat in place of the one she’d previously sipped from. No one had arrived in the last few seconds. Dashaun continued like normal.

“That sucks, but, it happens.”

[𝘿𝙖𝙨𝙝𝙖𝙪𝙣 “𝙍𝙪𝙨𝙝“ 𝙒𝙖𝙧𝙙 @HellOfARush]

Sounds like she had some experiences with nosy dudes.

[𝑨𝒔𝒉𝒂𝒏𝒕𝒊 𝑺𝒂𝒏𝒕𝒐𝒔 @theeshake]

Then he’s beating the stereotype, good for him.

[𝘿𝙖𝙨𝙝𝙖𝙪𝙣 “𝙍𝙪𝙨𝙝“ 𝙒𝙖𝙧𝙙 @HellOfARush]

“I’m Dashaun.,” He introduced himself with an upward head nod. “I don’t like sharing either. You ain’t worried about germs?”

[𝘿𝙖𝙨𝙝𝙖𝙪𝙣 “𝙍𝙪𝙨𝙝“ 𝙒𝙖𝙧𝙙 @HellOfARush]

He minds his business, actually.

[���𝒔𝒉𝒂𝒏𝒕𝒊 𝑺𝒂𝒏𝒕𝒐𝒔 @theeshake]

Very.

[𝘿𝙖𝙨𝙝𝙖𝙪𝙣 “𝙍𝙪𝙨𝙝“ 𝙒𝙖𝙧𝙙 @HellOfARush]

“Aight. You paying for that.”

[𝘿𝙖𝙨𝙝𝙖𝙪𝙣 “𝙍𝙪𝙨𝙝“ 𝙒𝙖𝙧𝙙 @HellOfARush]

She 𝙨𝙚𝙧𝙞𝙤𝙪𝙨?

[𝑨𝒔𝒉𝒂𝒏𝒕𝒊 𝑺𝒂𝒏𝒕𝒐𝒔 @theeshake]

Men are always nosy. It’s in their blood.

[𝘿𝙖𝙨𝙝𝙖𝙪𝙣 “𝙍𝙪𝙨𝙝“ 𝙒𝙖𝙧𝙙 @HellOfARush]

“𝙄’𝙢 just trying to have a drink.,” He counters.

“Lose a bet or something?”

[𝘿𝙖𝙨𝙝𝙖𝙪𝙣 “𝙍𝙪𝙨𝙝“ 𝙒𝙖𝙧𝙙 @HellOfARush]

“Wasn’t a question. You’re real loud.”

[𝘿𝙖𝙨𝙝𝙖𝙪𝙣 “𝙍𝙪𝙨𝙝“ 𝙒𝙖𝙧𝙙 @HellOfARush]

“Language.”

[𝘿𝙖𝙨𝙝𝙖𝙪𝙣 “𝙍𝙪𝙨𝙝“ 𝙒𝙖𝙧𝙙 @HellOfARush]

@ThieflnTheNight “You’re saying there’s a 𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙧𝙙 𝙙𝙖𝙩𝙚?”

[𝘿𝙖𝙨𝙝𝙖𝙪𝙣 “𝙍𝙪𝙨𝙝“ 𝙒𝙖𝙧𝙙 @HellOfARush]

Head tilts as curiosity takes hold. In the blink of an eye he’s seen holding the backpack, a rush of wind shifting frost-white tresses atop her head as a result of the sudden thievery.

“So what’s actually in here? Don’t worry, I don’t really care- just curious.”

[𝘿𝙖𝙨𝙝𝙖𝙪𝙣 “𝙍𝙪𝙨𝙝“ 𝙒𝙖𝙧𝙙 @HellOfARush]

@ThieflnTheNight the table are now gone. There’s a 𝙗𝙧𝙚𝙚𝙯𝙚 inside the shop, a rush of wind where there isn’t supposed to be one.

Indication that his mutation had been used to clear their space 𝙧𝙞𝙜𝙝𝙩 after his sentence concluded.

“So.” His eyes narrow, cocky smirk still present. —

[𝘿𝙖𝙨𝙝𝙖𝙪𝙣 “𝙍𝙪𝙨𝙝“ 𝙒𝙖𝙧𝙙 @HellOfARush]

𝙏𝙞𝙧𝙚𝙙.

[𝘿𝙖𝙨𝙝𝙖𝙪𝙣 “𝙍𝙪𝙨𝙝“ 𝙒𝙖𝙧𝙙 @HellOfARush]

@ThieflnTheNight door.

𝙋𝙡𝙖𝙣𝙣𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙖𝙝𝙚𝙖𝙙. She knows how that works.

“I’ll pick you up around 7:45. I like to get good seats.”

[𝘿𝙖𝙨𝙝𝙖𝙪𝙣 “𝙍𝙪𝙨𝙝“ 𝙒𝙖𝙧𝙙 @HellOfARush]

@ThieflnTheNight his speed— just good ol’ intuition. Had the 𝙨𝙩𝙧𝙖𝙣𝙜𝙚𝙧 chose not to meet him at this spot he would’ve gone about his night; maybe ran into her again once or twice.

But she 𝙘𝙖𝙢𝙚, and that in itself, gave him the answer he wanted as soon as she stepped through the —

[𝘿𝙖𝙨𝙝𝙖𝙪𝙣 “𝙍𝙪𝙨𝙝“ 𝙒𝙖𝙧𝙙 @HellOfARush]

@ThieflnTheNight “Just let me know.”

[𝘿𝙖𝙨𝙝𝙖𝙪𝙣 “𝙍𝙪𝙨𝙝“ 𝙒𝙖𝙧𝙙 @HellOfARush]

@ThieflnTheNight Pops taught him well; Earl did too.

“Tomorrow night. 𝙉𝙤 𝙘𝙤𝙨𝙩𝙪𝙢𝙚, preferably.” He tacks on. Digits deftly dive into his jacket pocket, retrieving his iPhone. He swipes and Face ID’s it before taking it to the dial pad and handing it to her, casually. —
