Enemies - Ezra Squall & Jupiter North

Jupiter North was just walking to his room in the hotel "Deucalion". Then, he noticed a see-through version of Ezra Squall. He stopped for a moment. It was scarry to see him, even tho Squall wasn't really there. Jupiter knew, that Squall had travelled there by the gossamer.

Jupiter kept walking. He was not in a mood to talk with him at all. Squall kept talking about some deal. He kept insisting that Jupiter would stop walking, and just listen for a minute. Finally, Jupiter got too frustrated with how annoying it got.

Jupiter stopped, and said: "Ok, what is the deal. Let's just get over it! I don't want to see you, or hear you, even tho you're not even here."
Squall pulled a paper sheet with some words on it: "Read this. Loudly. "
Jupiter read the text loudly. Squall started to turn less transparent. Jupiter North realised, that he has messed up. He had made the most feared human being in the whole Nevermoor, to come back to it. He knew, that he could not go and tell the police that "Ezra Squall, the scariest wundersmith, has been summoned back in the Nevermoor, and it's his fault." That would be just too dumb to do.
Squall said: " I will have my solid body here, for around 24 hours, I won't really try to do much harm here, don't worry."

Not to worry?! Was he serious? Ezra Squall had killed 8 wundersmiths in like a week! And probably many more other people. He was dangerous.

Jupiter started walking to his room, really quickly. Squall caught up to him, grabbed his hand, and just in one blink, they were in front of some building. Jupiter squirmed his hand out of Squall's grasp, and just stood there.

" Let's go inside? ", Squall asked calmly, like he didn't just teleport both of them somewhere random.
Jupiter just followed, thinking about that it was a bit scarry of what this man could do while being here. He could destroy this whole place in few saconds, or even start another mass murdering. Who knows what's going on in that guys head.

It was somewhat of a restaurant/ ball place. There were tables, where other people talked and ate or drank some food, there were a side of the room, where people were dancing to some calm music. If Ezra Squall wasn't right in front of Jupiter, he might be enjoying being at that place, but Squall was there, and that was not enjoyable. Especially with that smoke smell.

Ezra Squall & Jupiter sat down at some table. Soon, a waitress asked them if they wanted anything. Squall ordered some wine. Jupiter was wondering of: How does anyone not recognise either of them, especially Squall. He
assumed that the other was using some magic spell.

The younger was running out of patience. He did not want to spend much time with someone that he hated.
He asked Squall: "Why do you even need me to be here?"
Squall replied:" I just want to spend some time with who was taking care of Morrigan. "
That didn't seem much like Squall, the evil, really powerful wundersmith. That was just too out of character. Squall was too heartless. Why would he care? Why would he teleport him to some dinner place, only to have a talk?

After a while of Squall trying to start a normal conversion with Jupiter, understood that the other wasn't interested. Couldn't really expect anything more.. He seemed to hate him. That's really no surprise.

Some slow waltz-like song started playing. Squall decided to try something different. He walked up to Jupiter and asked him to dance with the other. Just one dance. Just for the change of the awkward nonexistent conversation that they had before. Jupiter agreed. Only because he wanted to be a bit nice. So maybe it wouldn't be a completely wasted evening.

They went to the dance side of the room, and started slowly dancing. There were quite a lot of other people dancing too. The others seemed happy, or even in love, looking in each others eyes, dancing close together. While Jupiter & Ezra Squall were dancing, Jupiter barely even looked at his dance pertner. And if he did, he would just look away. He felt sick, knowing that he's looking at someone, who has killed other people before. Squall was looking at the other all of the time. It wasn't really enjoyable, the whole awkwardness and all, but he was enjoying the dance. It was too obvious that Jupiter hated him with all of his soul, body & existence. Soon, the song ended playing. Jupiter just went back to the table without waiting a second. Squall seemed to be not really pleased.
