Pepper stood behind the counter, pushing random buttons on the register. Tuesdays were always slow. One of only five customers that day, and it was already three in the afternoon. He was looking forward to one thing, however. Arcayne and Demetri always came in at around this time on almost a daily basis. Since the first time they'd met, Pepper had been far more careful with how he spoke to her and approached her. He truly liked her and thought that maybe he would take a chance today and ask her out. Chances were she'd only give him a black eye, but it was always worth a shot.

Demetri strode in with her usual grace. She sat where she always did and sat with her back to the window and her feet up on the remainder of the booth. Her hair was pulled back into a french braid, a few strands dangling around her pale face. She gave Pepper a glance, then started to play with a silver pocket knife. She would want the now usual capachino with caramal. She had found those were oddly addicting. Demetri looked at Arcayne and grinned slightly. So far she'd painted her room and hallway a beatiful sky scene with various times of day - from night to the middle of the afternoon. She wondered if it should extend to his living room or not.

Arcayne sat across from Demetri and waved a hello at Pepper. He would have his usual Chai latte, and Pepper knew that by now, so he immediately went into the back and started working on the drinks. "He really likes you, you know." Arcayne whispered to Demetri. But that was all he said. It wasn't his place to meddle in Demetri's relationships or anything else. He sat back and began playing with a sugar packet.
In less than five minutes, Pepper was at the table with their drinks. "Here's yours, Demetri. And yours Arcayne. Can I get either of you anything else?" Arcayne shook his head, then looked to Demetri.

Demetri raised a brow at Arcayne, then looked at Pepper as hegave them their drinks. "Nope," she said simply and took a sip of her drink. She figured he did. It was so obvious - or at least, it was to her. However, she wasn't sure what she really thought of him. Though, he did make a kick ass drink. A quiet sigh left her as she sat down her drink, then she went back to playing with the sharp object. Her fingers glided over carefully, yet skillfully. It's sharpened edge gleamed in the light. Demetri watched the blade shine.

Pepper lingered awkwardly for a moment longer, then nodded and hurried away. Arcayne laughed quietly and sipped at his drink. Pepper's embarrassment was all too clear. "So... You gonna work more on that mural tonight? It's really coming along well. It looks good. It's a good change to the dreary appearance of my place." He took another sip. "Oh. And I was meaning to ask, how are you doing on supplies? Do you need to get more soon?" She had painted a lot, and Arcayne was surprised at how far the paint had already spread.

Demetri watched him leave and gave a small shake of her head before turning her attention to Arcayne. A tiny glint of pride appeared in her eyes and she thought of what she had and didn't have while sipping on her drink. "I am running a bit low on paint," she said, half talking to herself. She smiled faintly. "Thanks for the compliments. I've actually been trying to think what I should do for your living room." Pehaps she could give try making it looke a little more realistic and 3-d. It seemed like a cool enough ideal. She was even gaining ideals for the hallway's walls. The one thing she loved was being able to use his house as a giant canvas.

Arcayne nodded. "Alright then. When we're done here, we'll go and get you some more paint. I found a new place that I think you'll like far more than the hardware store. It's kinda far, but it specializes in artsy stuff." He'd found it while browsing the internet just the night before. "I'll be right back. Going to use the restroom." He stood and walked to where the restrooms were, leaving Demetri alone. Pepper took this chance to approach her. "Hey, uh, I was wondering if maybe you'd like to go out with me some night?" He swallowed hard and looked around. "We didn't really get off to the best start and I really wanted to make it up to you." He looked back to her, a hopeful look in his eyes.

Demetri looked at Pepper over the brim of her cup. When he finished speaking, she sat the cup down and ran her tongue over her upper lip, licking the left over drink from it. She seemed the think about it, contimplating her answer carefully. Then, a sly smirk pulled at the corners of her mouth. "Maybe," she sain finally. "I'll think about it." Her eyes looked to his, her smirk never leaving. Pepper would learn that she liked to play and was never very nice when it came to anything she even subconciously considered a game. Which meant that she'd more than likely break his little heart if he got too attatched.

Pepper smiled. "Well that's the best I can ask for I suppose." He replied, before turning and walking away once again. It was then that Arcayne returned. He'd seen the last part of the exchange and was wondering what had happened. "So... What was that all about?" He asked, sitting down and chugging the last of his latte. As he waited for her response, he pulled out his wallet to count out what money he had, taking out that which would pay for their drinks. He felt as if Demetri would be out of the money she had soon, so he intended to pay for the paints today, too.

Demetri watched him as he left, then sipped at her drink again. She was nearly done with it. "He asked me out," she said in a monotone. It was then that she chose to finish off her drink and set the cup down. "I told him I'd think about it." Demetri traced the edge of the cup with her finger, her mind wandering around many things. She glanced at Arcayne. He was right. She would soon run out of money. Demetri had some money saved in a bank, but it would require her traveling some distance to get it and wasn't really up to the job right now.

Arcayne muffled a laugh as he set the money down on the table. Ironic, really, that Pepper should take that chance when Arcayne had been speaking of it only moments before. "Well, what did you say?" He asked, his tone curious. He figured she'd flat out said no, but decided to ask anyway. While he waited for her response his mind wandered slightly - he'd promised to turn her but hadn't yet. She hadn't asked him about it again, and he was fine with that. He'd started truly thinking of her as his daughter and didn't want to hurt her in any way, even if it would improve her life by millions.

"Haven't given him an answer yet," she said with a grin. She slid out of her booth, then glanced toward Pepper, almost as if she were considering her options. After a moment she glanced back at Arcayne and grinned. "He is presistant. I have to give him that much." She stretched a little. She still wondered about being transformed. It plagued her mind nearly everyday.. Demetri glanced at Arcayne again. Was there a chance he'd do it, or would she need to find someone else to help with the task? Sigh. No need to worry about it right now.

Arcayne nodded. He'd expected as much. He was a bit surprised though, considering that he'd originally thought she'd reject him altogether. Demetri hadn't shown much interest in anyone since she'd been with living with Arcayne, at least not that he'd noticed. He too slid out of his booth and stood once again, calling to Pepper, "Money's on the table, kid. See you tomorrow!" He then glanced to Demetri. "We ought to get going to that store I found. I have the feeling we'll be in there for a while. You'll never believe the selection they have."
Pepper looked up to watch the pair leave his shop. He was anticipating her answer already.
