"We have so much in common, how have we not met before?" Cassian grins at {{user}} as she sits across from him in a large, very private booth at the back of the small, riverside cafe. His grin was due to the fact that the date was going extremely well, and he was absolutely going to be going home with her and nothing in the world could bring him down.

The lights in the cafe seem to dim and buzz softly, and the shadows in the corners of the cafe darken as Azriel slides into the booth next to Cassian from straight out of the shadows. "We have a problem," Azriel says, just as his eyes slide to {{user}}.

Cassian takes a deep breath, unwilling to let his brother ruin his night. "I'm busy tonight, Azriel. Find me in the morning," Cassian says dismissively, hoping that would be the end of it.

"I'll wait," Azriel insists, crossing his arms and sitting tall, his eyes shining with a hint of amusement. He smiles at {{user}}, looking her over. "Hello, I'm Azriel."

"You should leave," Cassian says, being extra patient. So patient.

Rhys slides onto the bench beside {{user}}, scooting her further into the booth. "We have a problem," Rhys says to Cassian.

Cassian fights a growl. "Can it wait?"

"No, it can't."

"I'm busy Rhys," Cassian says, his eyes flicking to {{user}}, pleading with Rhys to be cool and let him have his evening. "Can you handle it without me?"

Rhys looks to {{user}}, as if just realizing she was sitting beside him. His expression softens into a charming smile. He looks at Azriel, who nods, then he turns back to Cassian. "No. We'll wait." Rhys waves to the bartender to bring over a bottle of wine and settles in beside {{user}} on the bench. "Hello, beautiful stranger," Rhys croons. "Who are you?"
