She smirked as he looked away, she sent another, this time with a couple coins to replace the ones he took. It wouldn’t hurt to be kind for once. She ignored him, trying to look innocent

Xander's heart was pounding. He was fully prepared to get up and leave if she approached. For now, he pulled out his sketchbook and acted as if nothing had happened, but remained vigilant.

Luca glanced up, hearing the clinking of coins and seeing shadows. Two people were looking back and forth between each other. He could tell they were demons, most likely stealing. Luca scoffed and rolled his eyes.

She finished her coffee and stood up, she grabbed a few coins and replaced hem in the tip jar before. Tanrial smiled at the barista before going to stand outside.

Xander then noticed Luca, who had seen them both, and he started panicking a little bit. He accidentally broke the lead of his pencil off on the paper. It was probably best for him to leave, he thought, but he still needed the warmth of the building for the time being.

Tanrial was willing to stand in the cold if it meant talking to the guy in there. She wanted to know who he was and why he would steal.

Luca heard the snap of the lead, and his pointed ears twitched. He glanced over at the guy out of the corner of his eye, then went back to drinking his coffee as if nothing had happened. It was none of his business anyway. But it would be fun to mess with him, he thought, smirking and glancing over at the guy again.

Having lost track of Tanrial, Xander could only focus on Luca. He suddenly put away his things, got up and went out the front door, only to see Tanrial standing there. He picked up the pace, acted like he didn't see her, and kept going.

Tanrial stood against the window and noticed the other guy smirk at the other. He saw something and with that look, was going to bring trouble.

“Hey!” She called after him.

"What?" Xander asked. He stopped, but didn't turn around, "You've been watching me like a hawk. What do you want?"

Luca frowned, standing up and following the guy. When he got outside, he saw that the man was walking away quickly, and the girl that had been inside earlier was standing outside the door.

“Why did you steal?” She was now walking in step with him, “You didn’t have to.’

"You're right. I didn't have to. I never have to. I could just starve and be left to rot, and no one would care," Xander replied sadly.

Luca stepped toward the two of them, rolling his eyes. "Calm down, edgelord," he said. "Look, I don't care if you steal, but I'm going to let you know right now, you need to learn how to be sneakier."

(Oof. Called him (and me) out.)
"Oh, honey," Xander muttered, "That's only the second time I've been caught, and I've been at it for literal years."

Tanrial rolled her eyes, “Then be more careful, you don’t know who else could see.”

"You're probably only used to being around humans," Luca said, leaning to one side a bit. "But this specific cafe is overrun with demons, and for a lot of us it's easy to spot somebody using magic to steal from a tip jar."

"Demons…?" Xander squeaked. He shoved his icy-cold hands in his pockets.

"Look, kid, if you can perform shadow magic, I'm willing to bet you know about demons." His eyes flashed the color of gold for a moment before fading back to a dull blue. "We're a lot more perceptive than you think, so be careful when you decide to steal money from us."

Xander, before he knew it, had conjured a bit of shadow from his fingertips. He backed away from Luca, and closer to Tanrial, holding a defensive stance.
"Of course I've heard of demons. I've just never actually had this close of a brush with one. My dad used to tell me about them, but of course I figured he made that stuff up."

Luca glanced down at the shadow on the guy's hands. He laughed lightly. "How cute."

Xander opened his palm, and as he stood there, the shadows went to slowly form the outline of a blade. He was well-aware he was much more afraid than the demon he faced, and that if he was attacked, he would be done for, but anything that could potentially get him out of the situation was worth a try. He was silent and glaring at Luca, his striking gray eyes as intense and focused as ever.

Luca crossed his arms, looking the guy up and down. "You realize I have no intentions of hurting you, right?"

"Nor do I," Xander admitted, "but I don't know who to trust, and I'm pretty sure a demon isn't someone I should trust."
He let the shadows dissipate, but a dark aura, produced by a few wispy shadows, radiated from his skin. Xander was still obviously frightened.
"Anyway, what do you want from me?"
