Nykidia poured the vodka into the shot glass and set it down in front of him. "I don't really know. I don't get of this part of town often. There are certain gangs around here but other than that I can't really help."

"Well, what about your work here? What usually happens when someone drinks?" He asked. He tilted his glass, looking at the drink that seemed just as clear as water. Considering it was a shot glass he decided to just drink it quickly. He quickly downed the drink, setting the glass down. It burned his throat some and overall tasted odd to him, but he guessed some might like that. He pushed the small glass toward Nykidia, deciding he would preferred staying away from the drink and the effects Nykidia mentioned. "I'll stick with water." Aaron said, "Is there food here or a restaurant nearby? I haven't really eaten…. for a while now that I think about it."
(Cough Euric's character Cough)

Nykidia laughed at Aaron's face when he downed it. "Well I mostly am like Flyn's body guard. I keep him safe. And alcohol can make a person quite out of sorts. Have you seriously never had any before? Any ways as for food there is a good restaurant called Nys Fish down the street. I don't like fish to much but her fries are the best." she said.

(lol)
Aaron frowned seeing Nykidia laugh at him, but didn't think much of it as he answered her. "Nope, never. Until recently I've stayed away from people, which in turn meant places like this, though I knew someone who was friendly to everyone." He went silent for a moment. Until now he had forgotten that Naomi used to help him a lot, from cheering him up to taking the night shift so he could guard at dusk and dawn. How times change. Allies now enemies. He thought. He was the one that messed that up, but hopefully it would be fixed a lot easier if she started seeing things his way. He stood up as he pushed memories back, smiling at Nykidia in hopes she wouldn't ask about his sudden silence. "Flyn seemed quite confident considering you saying you're his bodyguard. I fight my own battles. Though that's not really related to our current 'quest', could we head to that restaurant?"

Nykidia looked slightly annoyed at him for the comment on Flyn. "I fight for him because we are family. He's my brother and I would die for him in a heart beat. And if anyone were to try to hurt him I would kill them in the most painful way possible and no one would be able to find there body again. But anyways yes. Lets go to food." Nykidia said dragging him out the door.

(Nice. Now I'm waiting to see what it is. XD)
Aaron's face showed some surprise at her response, his mind going blank for a moment as he tried to think of a way to reply. He stumbled behind her as she dragged him, her words making him think of Jack. While Nykidia was threatening him, which confused him since she was pulling him towards a restaurant now, he had turned on those he considered family. Without even thinking about it he reacted in anger not wanting to come across as shaken. "If your brother ever pushes me to the point I kill him I doubt you'll have an easy time making sure I'm dead." He huffed, his voice edging on being snappish. Nevertheless he let her lead the way, not that he really knew the directions to Nys Fish anyways.

At that Nykidia squeezed Aaron's hand. Hard. She didn't want it to break but did want him to feel a lot of pain. The whites of Nykidia's eyes turned black and her irises a deep purple. "You hurt him or her and I swear on my life that it will be the last thing you do." Nykidia, no Night said in a deep voice. Nykidia dragged Aaron in and sat him down at a table. Nykidia got a mischievous glint in her eye. "Hey Aaron! Do you see the buttons on the table? Push the blue one."

(Okay first it is a restaurant and you didn't even wait to be seated I can imagine the character I have as the host feeling so dejected but not saying anything because how passive they are)
Nysaxiope moved to greet the two people who had just sat down at a table as the girl said to the boy, "Push the blue one." Nys intervened before it could happen.
"Before you do that, let me give you your menus." She cut in and handed the girl and the boy two menus. "My name is Nysaxiope. I'll be your waiter for today." Nys's powers allowed her to give off a certain vibe with her voice. She usually went with pleasant and relaxed to make people feel warm and cooperative. "I see you have been here before. Fantastic! It's nice to already see recurring customers in the first week." She gave the girl a warm smile. "Have fun with that now." She glanced down at the buttons then floated away a bit to give them a chance to press the buttons and so she could watch their reactions.

(Yeah. Nykidia has that kinda presence. Sorry I should of asked you if we needed to be sat.)
Nykidia slid her menu out in front of her. "I already know what I'm getting. Aaron. Press the blue button."

Aaron yelped as he felt a sharp pain from Nykidia's action, gritting his teeth as she sat him down. Maybe don't make the person I kind of trust want to murder me. He looked to Nykidia with some distrust as he rubbed his hand, glancing towards the buttons she mentioned. Before he could even consider it a siren floated towards them and handed them menus. She seemed to try to be calming, but it didn't last long as she left and Nykidia insisted again. Though he wouldn't admit it Nykidia was starting to scare him a bit, usually people didn't mess with him once he got snappish. He hesitated as he reached for the button before pushing it, glancing toward Nykidia with uncertainty.

Nysaxiope watched the two peoples faces with curiosity as the man hesitantly pushed the blue button in front of him. The table started floating into the air suddenly, magic keeping them suspended at four feet off of the ground after the short press.
Nysaxiope giggled. "Don't wobble too much or you'll fall off!" She could tell the man was already feeling quite tense and used her power to to put a layer of calm on to her voice, sure to make him feel peaceful for at least half a second, but didn't try too hard to calm him.

Nykidia giggled at this. She had been here once before and had almost fallen off the first time she had pressed it. She gave Nysaxiope a thumbs up.

A sense of panic filled Aaron as the table lifted, not reassured by the siren's words despite the odd calm feeling her tone gave. Even if it didn't help get him down he resorted to instinct, his eyes resembling those of a fox as fear surfaced remembering what happened at an old cliff on the outskirts of the kingdom. He clung onto the table as he scrambled to get his feet on the chair, glaring at Nykidia as she giggled at his panic. "It's not funny!" He growled, only to grip the table harder as his thoughts went back to the possibility of falling. Stop panicking. He thought, but it hardly made him forget he was floating. He resisted the urge to just shift into his fox form and jump onto the table for any extra sense of safety.
