Don Juan did not use an umbrella. His dark hair was slicked back wet from the rain. His cloak of shadows shimmered and writhed. He paused to remove his glasses and use a crimson handkerchief to wipe off nature's dew. He saw Anna and nodded. She smiled. He smoothly glided over to their table. Izuko stood up, placed his left hand on the hilt of his saber, and stretched out his right hand to shake the Immortal of Death's hand. They shook hands. "Well met, Immortal of Death." "Hail, Immortal of Battle." "And hello to you Anna, mistress of pain and pleasure." Anna smiled. "I was just telling Anna how we fought off the goblins in the last raid to Kanorkey Isles. Care to join us?" "Perhaps for just a cup of coffee." The immortal of battle pulled up a chair for him. Anna was lost in thought. The presence of Don Juan left her unaffected. She was wandering through a miasma of brittle thoughts and unanswered exclamations. Echos of hardened but thudded footsteps on her soul. Don Juan observed Anna's inattentiveness. The way she continued to stir her coffee absent-mindedly and never taking a sip. She was elsewhere. Izuko speaking passionately about his exploits was suddenly interrupted by an incoming call. "Pardon me, I will have to take this. Important news about the front lines." He got up and walked to a more private area of the shop. Anna didn't react to any of this. She was just staring off into space. Don Juan placed his hand over the one stirring and said, "Anna. Que pasa? Que esta en tu cabeza? Que piensas?" Anna turned her gaze to him and murmured, "Hmmm..." "Where are you, Anna?" She stared into the Immortal of Death's eyes and then looked over at Izuko. Her gaze rested on his form and demeanor. She watched him gesticulate. She turned back to Don Juan and answered, "I'm somewhere, but maybe not here." | ||||||||||
