~ THEODORE'S BAKERY ~

Laurent nodded. "Theodore, come meet the newest member!"
The baker at the counter glanced up and frowned, squinting at Michael.

Michael waved awkwardly to the man, shifting on his feet.

Theodore stepped out from behind the counter, dusting the flour off his hands and nodding at Michael. "Welcome, I suppose," he said in a soft Spanish accent. "I'm Theodore."

[kitcantspell]

“Nice to meet you-“ Michael stuck out his hand. “Michael Davis. I don’t suppose your human..?”

[⁺‧₊˚ ཐི⋆ vyn targaryen ⋆ཋྀ ˚₊‧⁺]

"I am, actually," Theodore replied, a smile ghosting across his lips. "It's one of the reasons I began this. I don't want to end up like either of you. No offense intended, of course."

[kitcantspell]

“None taken. I wouldn’t want to end up like one of me, either.” Michael sighed sadly. “Tragic, but its whatever.”

[⁺‧₊˚ ཐི⋆ vyn targaryen ⋆ཋྀ ˚₊‧⁺]

"Fair enough. Besides, I've experienced enough tragedy to last a lifetime," Theodore said. "You're a Siren, correct? Do you know a woman named Arethousa?"

[kitcantspell]

Michael thought about this. “Erm.. No, but I think I’ve heard of her.”

[⁺‧₊˚ ཐི⋆ vyn targaryen ⋆ཋྀ ˚₊‧⁺]

"Would you reach out to her for me? I haven't been able to get into contact with her, but I know she would likely be sympathetic to our cause."

Laurent shot Theodore a look. "He joined one minute ago and you're already sending him on missions?"

[kitcantspell]

Michael laughed shortly. "I can do that, not a problem."

[⁺‧₊˚ ཐི⋆ vyn targaryen ⋆ཋྀ ˚₊‧⁺]

Theodore beamed at him, immediatley shifting his face from unapprochable to one of the kindest people. "Thank you, Michael!"

Laurent glanced at Michael. "Do you want me to come with you?"

[kitcantspell]

Michael gave Theodore a nod, then turned to Laurent. "I mean- Yeah, sure. That would be helpful."

[⁺‧₊˚ ཐི⋆ vyn targaryen ⋆ཋྀ ˚₊‧⁺]

"Alright," Laurent said, rubbing the back of his neck. "Just- be prepared. Walking around town with a Vampire guarantees that people will look at you oddly."

[kitcantspell]

Michael shrugged, "It wouldn't be the worst looks I've been given."

[⁺‧₊˚ ཐི⋆ vyn targaryen ⋆ཋྀ ˚₊‧⁺]

"Fair enough," Laurent said, his lips toying with the idea of a smile. "Shall we go?"

[kitcantspell]

Michael nodded. "Theodore, it was nice to meet you and join your... group." He gave a quick smile, before heading out the door with Laurent.

[⁺‧₊˚ ཐི⋆ vyn targaryen ⋆ཋྀ ˚₊‧⁺]

Theodore waved, and Laurent followed Michael out.

(switch to Arethousa's lake?)
