Was Dahlia going on a date? Hunter overheard her conversation downstairs but said nothing to Vincent. Andrei waited, patiently for Dahlia, smiling at the red headed witch when she finally came out."You look lovely." He said with a smile. His car was outside the the shop, but wondered if she would rather walk. "Would you rather walk there or madrive, its two blocks down the road." He said.

Dahlia was grinning like the mad woman she was then, really starting to get excited for the evening. She brushed her skirt down some, seeming to need to keep her hands busy.
"walking would be delightful. Bet I can even give a good scare here or there while I'm at it."
She gave a bit of a giggle then, happy as can be about it all. She was going on a date like a normal young woman would! It was all so exciting, she couldn't contain her grin.

He smirked at her suggestion."That sounds like a great idea." He said and gently linkes his arm with hers, walking down the street. It was clear that they caused quite a scene. People stared at them like they were the weirdest thing in Bitter Springs. He made a face at one lady, making the woman gasp and quickly picked her small child up and run to the safety of the nearest shop. He lead them to the Victorian tea shop, opening the door for her. The waiters and waitresses were dressed in Victorian style outfits.

They were taken to a lovely table set for two. He pulled her chair out for jet and pushed it in behind her. He sat down across from her with a creepy but somehow charming smile.

Dahlia was grinning like a cat, locking her arm with Andrei's once they were outside the shop and her doors were locked. She noticed the stares people were giving them, some recognizing Dahlia from the shop but not so sure about the man escorting her. She gave a giggle at watching Andrei startle a child, the mother seeming to not like this so much. She had a little soft spot for children, but unless they were blood she would scare them too. She walked into the shop, looking around with a smile still on her face. She was a bit surprised at how much of a gentleman Andrei was, smoothing her skirt out again before settling her hands atop the table.
"Oh this is just simply delightful! Why have I not seen this little place? Oh I've been in that shop far too long..."
She was almost like a child, her grin mad and quite giddy as it stretched her red painted lips into something that mot would see frightening but was actually a good expression for the witch to have.

He smiled."They built this place about a month ago, so its very new." He said and started looking over at all the read and little snacks they had. A young woman dressed in a frilly purple dress with a corset wrapped rightly around her waist. "What would you like to drink?" She asked. Andrei looked at Dahlia."Ladies first." He said. Andrei could be a perfect gentleman when need be Abe of course around women he found to be charming and beautiful.

Dahlia was starting to look over her own menu, knowing they should just Order a nice evening tea for two. She kept looking over for a few more moments before a waitress appeared. She blinked at first before pointing to a tea on the menu, picking camomile tea as her own drink of choice. She folded her menu closed for a moment, wondering if cake would be best for this or not.
"oh to not have to make evening tea for once. I might have to come here more often."
She looked around for a few more moments, eyes still rather alight before wanting to ask her own questions to the wolf,
"So what brings you to the town of Bitter Springs Andrei, this isn't a place I'd see you picking to settle down. I just don't see you as one to do so."

The waitress wrote down the order and looked to him. "I'll have some green tea with a hint of Pomegranate." He said with a smile before handing the menu to the waitress and looked to her at her question. He knew that he wasn't suppose to tell anyone about the order. "Work mainly and I have a cousin who I had to torture." He said. He may as well just tell her if she ask who his cousin was if she asked.

"How long have you had you're shop?" He asked.

Dahlia watched intently, the grin never seeming to fade. She listened intently, a brow lifting at the mention of him having a cousin to bother in this town. There were a handful of wolves that she knew around here, but that was expected with how her brother was engaged to the town beta.
"Oh really? And who would this cousin be? This is a small town after all, easy to know who is who."
In a sense she tortured her own cousin, but it was for his own good. He had earned to be turned into a small puff of fur for the chaos he caused. She'd rat here humiliate him over actually hurting him though.

She shook these thoughts away at being asked about her shop. She gave a little wave of her hand, chuckle.
"It's been a while now. Can't really remember at the moment. Moved here for my baby brother, thought he'd get better in this small town. Doctors are good here, better than the middle of no where we were."
Then again when you live with a bunch of English witches that don't like normal human medicine, it can be a big fuss in the middle of no where with where her aunts lived. Made her rather amazed her or Vincent could actually socialize.

"The town alpha, Jack Stone my father is his fathers brother." He said. Technically, he was next in line to be the Stone clan alpha, but he gave that title up to his second cousin and wanted to do his own thing than be stuck in Romanian and running a huge pack. Jack would have been second in line, he would have been the beta but his cousin had the same idea as he did.

He listened to her with interest."That's very kind of you, seems there's a motherly woman underneath the crazy but charming women." He said.

Dahlia's eyes couldn't help to go wide, unsure of how to take that. She had met some of the extended family of Jack's, but she had never met Andrei until now. She leaned over some, eyes seeming to search Andrei as she spoke.
"I know your cousin rather well then, considering the town beta is becoming my brother-in-law sometime in the future. How did we even get tangled in that."
She shook those thoughts away though, picking up on his words again. She seemed embarassed, turning with a small toss of her hair.
"Oh you're too kind darling! I had a little help for a while, but most of the time it's just been us."
Their tea arrived then, dahlia still seeming to somehow have manners that showed she wasn't just a little insane. She just seemed so at ease in the moment, not sure what else to do.
"so have any hobbies Andrei darling?"

He just cycled at what she said."Seems everyone knows my cousin." He said. "Your alright with your brother dating a beta?" He asked. There was nothing wrong with it, but the beta had a hard job and often they could be gone for a extended period of time, getting the alpha or being a stand in.

Their tea finally came, he took a sip."Do you want any snacks?" He asked.

"I like to draw, paint and take pictures for fashion, I own my own studio." He said with a smile.

Dahlia smirked at the chuckle, her expression toning down for once from something insane to something more...gentle. She sipped at her own tea fora moment, taking in the question on her brother dating the beta.
"It would be wrong for me to tear them apart at this point. He makes Vivi happy, and that child needs to be happy with the cards life dealt him."
Her eyes looked a bit somber for a moment, not sure that was something she should have said. Vincent was an important part of her life, so he was a subject talked about more than herself. She shook these feelings off though at the mention of snacks. She waved off a hand at this.
"No no this is fine, chatter with a cup of tea is absolutely perfect for me."
Her mad grin came back for a moment then, but seemed to soften as Andrei went on about his hobbies. she was interested to say the least. Her office was pretty much her studio, though she could use with more room every now and again when working on large dresses.
"I'm not much for drawing, but oh can i sculpt and sew! every single mask in my shop is made by these very hands."
she waved her fingers at him with a giggle then, finding herself somewhat funny for some reason.

He did wonder if his cousin had.a lover, he had heard that jack did, but hadn't really seem anyone around the wolf. He decided to push his cousin from his mind and focus on Dahlia. He gave her a smile at how.she.talked about her brother."Did you raise him all on your own?" He.asked c a sip of his tea.uriously.

He chuckled at how happy she seemed to get. "Maybe you could come by my studio." He offered and.took

Dahlia blinked a bit taken aback by being asked if she had raised Vincent. she wasn't sure if such could change the wolf's opinion of her, not that it really mattered. Dahlia couldn't really see this going past the first date as she always believed ehrself too...strange.
"I had some help from my aunts, but yes I raised him. He's a sweet boy, unruly at times, but guess its expected when your body wants to be like glass."
Dahlia could never help but feel bad that Vincent was as sick as he had been for his life, it jsut wasnt fair to the child. Pushing those thoughts aside though, her grin and eyes seemed to light up at the mention of a studio. THe thought of seeing someone else's work was always a pleasure for her, but never had she been invited to a studio. Then again this evening tea with someone aside from her brother was new too.
"Oh something like that would be delightful to see! maybe we could work out a deal and i make some of your fashions for my shop? could get your designs out there Darling."

It didn't changed anything of what he thought of her, in fact it made him think that really underneath all that red headed craziness was really a warm and caring woman. He couldn't really say that he cared for someone else. His father wasn't a kind man and his mom had died giving birth to him. Jack was more lucky, he had parents who cared for him. He got over it though and carried on with finishing his tea, ordering another one.

"That sounds like a wonderful idea, could get your shop more advertise, seems my pictures have made a few business around here quite.prosperous." He admitted.
