The Wolf and The Witch

Ch 42: I Care

Nova POV:

I watched the wolf people as I wondered through the streets of the crown city.

Most of them grew startled or weary when they noticed me.

The one who sat me on the porch of the cafe wouldn't stop stammering.

I had never been to a cafe before.

It is much to bright outside although the table is good for watching the bustle of the city.

I snapped my fingers, and murmured a few quick words.

The sky turned grey with clouds.

Much better.

A girl with honey blonde hair looked up at it as she approached my table, "uhm hello ma'am."

My nose wrinkled slightly.

"M'lady?" She corrected.

"Hello." I replied, watching her carefully.

"Do you know what you want to eat?"

I glanced down at the menu, "wine. And whatever tastes the least like summer. I am in an autumn mood."

"The least like summer." She repeated. "Right. Okay."

"How old are you?" I asked, Eyeing the girl closely. "Are you of age."

She chewed her lip, "I am."

"Take off that apron."

Her eyes grew wide, "p-pardon."

"Apron off." I replied blandly, "you are dining with me."

"But my job..."

I just stared at her.

"Okay." She squeaked, removing the heinous white fabric, "let me just put in your order."

I waited for her to return with my wine, watching as she sat across from me, "you are in very good condition."

"Huh?" She asked.

"Psychically."

"O-oh thank you. You are very beautiful Lady Nivara."

"I know. Sebastian likes blondes I think."

She blushed hands playing with her hair, "does he?"

"I only ever known him to pay attention to them. It is a preference he likely doesn't notice much."

"Thats.. interesting."

"Are you seeing someone little she wolf?"

"Oh... no not currently unfortunately."

"I don't really care either way but Sebastian would."

She looked positively bemused, "may I ask why?"
