Lisa Morgan at alone at her table, waiting for her coffee and beignets. She sighed as she glanced around seeing young couples and older couples enjoying the evening.
Lisa had just gotten off work and came to Cafe Du Monde for a cup of coffee to help clear her head. This divorce wasn't going the way she had hoped... her soon to be ex-husband was making this so difficult! She just needed to calm down and think for a bit.
Lisa forced a smile at the waitress when her order came... she sipped her coffee, breathing in it refreshing aroma... slowly nibbling on her beignets... and trying to think of a way to get her cheating husband off her back.

River stepped in the cafe in his usual attire, black button down opened over a dark shirt, blue jeans, and recently he had added Raptors. There wasn't really a reasonfor the sun glasses other than they looked cool and why not? He smiled and walked over to the counter, ordering some beignets. He didn't like the coffee here and besides, it was just a sweet tooth which had driven him in here tonight.
Technically, River was suppose to be headed across town to help with a few technical problems that had sprung up. His expert techi-ness was necessary. If they needed him that bad though...why couldn't they wait a little while for him to eat a little snack? He scanned the people enjoying their food and drink while he waited on his own. It would be a boring day. He took his sweet and went to a nearby table, sitting and nibbling slowly on it.
Yea...it would be a boring day. No Daimon activity yet, and besides...he couldn't fight anyway. He would go preform his Squirely duties and then....nothing. No one to hang out with at all. Pout and Sigh.
Well..there was a girl...sitting alone like him. She looked vaguely familiar. She probably worked with someone he knew. River bit his lip and turned in his chair so that he could look at her through his Raptors. He fiddled with his lip ring and thought, lifted the beignet to his mouth, chewed, swallowed, and continued to stare.

Lisa sipped her coffee sighing to herself and still trying to think of a way out of her marriage that would get her husband off her back... she glanced up and noticed a man looking at her rather intently. She forced a sweet smile and looked back down trying to ignore the man staring at her. But she could feel his gaze boring into her.
For glanced back up at him again, pushing her black hair back behind her ear, she bit her lip trying to figure out why he was staring at her. He did look a bit familiar... where had she seen him before? She sipped her coffee again. Looking away from teh man once more... but still feeling his gaze on her.

River smiled, almost certain that he had made his connection. Getting up, he carried himself and his sweet over to her. He stopped at her table, smiled and without an invitation, sat down. He brushed his hands off and leaned forward a bit, cocking an eyebrow over his Raptors. "You're Lisa right?" He asked, wanting to be sure she was who he thought she was. If he knew her anywhere else then he was SOL figuring her out.

Lisa cleared her throat and eyed the guy now siting across form her.. I'm sorry... have we met before? she asked not answering his question but not denying it ether... not til she knew who e was... and what he wanted. She set her coffee aside and pulled her hands under the table to her purse, she had mace in her purse and she carefully wrapped her hand around it, not letting him see her movements

River took his glasses off, showing his bright blue eyes. His dark hair fell forward in them before he pushed it back. He tilted his head and smiled a dazzling smile. "Well...probably." He bit the corner of his lip. "If you're the Lisa I'm thinking of then you work for Grace Alexander yes?" He leaned forward. "I've been in to talk to Grace, strictly not for business, a couple of times." He chuckled. "Never had those kinds of problems." He pursed his lips and tapped his chin. "So...are you that Lisa?"

Lisa rose a brow at him a moment still not relaxing and clutching to her can of mace. Yes... I work for Mrs. Alexander. So.. tell me your name.. she said glancing to both h sides discretly, looking for a way out if need be.

River smiled that dazzling smile again and held his hand out to shake hers. "My name is River Garroway." He nodded his head in a slightly older way. The beignet sat untouched before him as all his attention was focused on her. He was like that sometimes, forgetting something one second in lue on something else.

She tentively reached out and shook his hand, keeping teh other still around her can of mace. Pleasure to meet you, Mr. Garroway... again i suppose. she said with a slight embarrassed giggle as she tucked a couple loose strands of hair behind her ear again.

River chuckled. "Yea I suppose nice to meet you again as well." He indicated the hand under the table. "You can take your hand off the knife or mace,whatever." He smiled and remembered he had a beignet. He let go off her hand and picked his food up. "I almost forgot I had sugar." He smiled and took a big bite, licking powdered sugar off his lips. "So, how are you, cher?"

I'm doing the best i can i guess. she said thoughts of her divorce creeping back into her mind as she sipped her almost cold coffee... she made a face then set the cup aside for the waitress to pick up on her way by... she folding erh arms on teh table in front of her and watched him eat his biegnet. HOw are you, Mr. Garroway? she asked just trying to be polite

River rolled his eyes. "River, please cher, I don't like to be too formal." He smiled broadly. "I have been great, lots of work and I have to go to work soon." He rolled his eyes. "I don't think you know what I do for a living." He held his hand up, offering the side of the beignet that he hadn't bitten off of yet. "Wanna bite? You look starved a little Lisa."

She shook her head to both his statments.. no thank you... I'm not hungry. Besides... i don't think i could eat anything and hold it down anyways. she said with a sad sigh.
So what do you do for a living... River? she asked, though calling someone by their first name wasn't easy.. she was so used to being so formal with people.

River smiled. "I work as a free range techy." He laughed. "People are always calling me at odd hours to bitch about their tech breaking." He reached out and toughed her hand. "By the way, Lisa, you look sad." He bit his lip and sighed. "You seem to have this cloud hanging over you." He nodded towards the door. "Wanna walk and talk?"

She followed his nod towards teh door then looked back to him... I... I guess i could. she said softly. Though she wasn't sure why, she stood up and placed a few dollars on teh table for the waitress then looked to River.... chewing her lip a bit as she waited for him. why was she going with him like this? Did she really feel that out of control of her life?
