A man approached her, he was young, looking around 25 years old. He had chocolate brown hair and ice blue eyes. His face was well defined and handsome, and he wore a large smile, showing his perfect white teeth to any passerby he saw. He arrived at the coffee shop, he heard it was the best in town.
Ryker glanced over and noticed Irina. Why was she waiting outside the coffee shop? He walked over to her. He flashed one of his smiles.
"Hey there... why are you waiting outside?"

[i]The unarmed woman locked eyes with Ryker, a slight grin upon her strikingly pale face as she looked at him. She had never seen him before, so...this would be interesting.[/i] [u]"Who, me? Just hanging outside because I'm apparently a threat to regular civilian's daily lives. If you were a mass murderer, you'd understand."[/u] [i]That seemed to be the case as those that passed by took glances at Irina and quickened their pace, some even straight-up running past Irina. There was a strange aura of fear around her, one that she didn't mind at all.[/i] [u]"Wanna sit down? Chat a lil', maybe?"[/u]

Edited by cyberattaq: 12/7/2016 6:02:11 PM"Of course!" Ryker says. "Now I just don't believe that someone like you would be a mass murderer. You certainly don't look the part. Far to pretty."
-
[u]"You'd be surprised."[/u] [i]Irina didn't pay too much attention to the flirt, although a thin smile took place upon her pale, angular face. She didn't want to shut down the man already by telling him that she was already in a relationship, particularly with a female super soldier named Athena. It had gone on for a bit, and...Irina was pretty committed.[/i] [i]The woman pushed the seat next to her out, allowing Ryker to sit down.[/i]

[spoiler]Rip, doesn't mean he can't try, I mean he doesn't know yet, and besides it's his nature.[/spoiler] He sits next to her, wearing a fairly light jacket and shorts. "So I heard this place is the best in the city."
-
[spoiler]Lol. Irina can give him advice, be a relationship tutor or something. Hook him up with someone XD.[/spoiler] [u]"I've heard that as well. Really good hot chocolate, from what I've heard. So whatcha doin' for Christmas, if anything?"[/u] [i]Irina was a fan of the holiday of Christmas, and was personally interested in what people were doing for it. In truth, she was; she had planned out things herself.[/i]
-
"Ah you know, spend it with the family. Sisters wife and her daughter..." He says with a smile. He looked at her. "What about you?"
-
[u]"Decorating me and Athena's apartment - you wouldn't know Athena, she's awesome though - helping my blind friend with her decorations...I guess I'm in the holiday spirit."[/u] [i]Irina chuckled, suddenly realizing that she had mentioned Athena, her lover. It would be awkward, explaining to the man about the fact that she was already in a relationship.[/i]
-
He saddened momentarily, then perks up. "Christmas decorations are fun." He says with a chuckle.
-
[u]"Yeah...you alright th-[/u] [u]Oh. I...I see now. Yeah, I was...already in a relationship. Sorry, just thought you'd understand."[/u] [i]Irina's usually pale face turned even paler as she responded, as if she was embarrassed yet angry at herself.[/i]

"Oh honestly it's fine." He smiles at her. He didn't really know what to say. "Snows pretty isn't it?" He says as he looks at a falling flake. He snaps his finger and it stops, a red energy seeming to stop it, it didn't melt, it hovered. It moves towards him. He grabs it in his hand. He enlarges it, it was about the size of a penny, and beautiful. It glittered and shimmered beautifully in the winter sun. "Every one is different." He says as he looked at it. He handed it to her, she could see the crystals as they glittered. "It won't melt. Hold it..." He says with a smile.

[i]The woman only stared at the marvelous snowflake, the frozen spectacle between her light, gloved fingers. Irina was quite amazed by it - she only knew two people with something similar to this kind of ability, so it definitely surprised her. [/i] [u]"Amazing...I've always loved the snow, but this is just...amazing. Where did you learn to do this?"[/u]

"Well... that's a long story." He says with a smile, his breath visible in the air. He stands, holding his hand out for her to take. "If you've got the time."
