The demon looked at the baker, inquisitively as he brought over the water, ignoiring the girl's remark. "Thank you..." He nodded, taking a sip from the glass, before looking out the window. There was a light dripping fro outside, as the sky began to drizzle just a little. "Tsk... Looks like I'm not going anywhere..." He mumbled, rubbing his head. He cast another glance to the vampire before leaning back in his seat. His mind was raising, darting from one subject to the next. How had he gotten in the city? Was he brought here by force, or just blindly drunk? How long had he been out?

Coalic froze at that last question. How long..? "Does anyone have the date?" He asked, seeming quite conserned with the matter. I felt as if he couldn't remember a simple day or two, but it could have very well been a week he was missing. Had he been taken by nobles and escaped at the cost of his memory? Was that why the vampire was here? To try and take him again? His request of small portions was odd. Maybe he was over thinking things? He leaned over onto the table, holding his head, groaning fro a light headake.

Lord Grey watched as the baker girl's grin widened as he mentioned a potential bulk order. When he really thought about it, something like that could really put their little bakery in the slums on the map. After all, to have their food served at a lord's dinner party with who knows how many other nobles would be both an honour and a praise. He just hoped that they and their one little stove were up to the task.

Nodding politely, Lord Grey taking the girl's advice and finding a table to sit at. He briefly entertained the idea of sitting across from the little ball of nerves, but he decided against it. It wasn't exactly polite to sit at the same table as a stranger without permission. "I can wait for as long as it takes. Don't rush it for me," he had to pause there to consider his next words. The young woman had offered him a drink, and for a moment he wondered if she was offering him her blood. Of course not... she didn't even know what he was. He could see that. "No thank-you. Just the food will be- Is something wrong?" Lord Grey's answer was halted in favour of a quizzical question. Without warning a look of both surprise and excitement washed over the girl, and she began bouncing on her feet. It couldn't be the prospect of a massive sale, as otherwise this would have already happened.

While awaiting an answer, if he was even going to get one, Lord Grey turned to bracing himself for what was to come. This was probably the only thing he really hated about vampirism. No matter how much he might want to, how delicious the food there was no eating it. Not properly. He supposed that with the nigh intoxicating flavour of blood, it was a fair tradeoff. Still, that didn't make the coming task any easier. He would at the very least have to taste each of the dishes he had asked for, but he wasn't sure he'd be able to do even that. Perhaps he should have fed before making this trip... that always seemed to help. Then again, it tended to get rather messy. It would have meant bathing, a fresh set of clothes... too much trouble for something as simple as this.

As he was preparing himself, he heard the siblings bickering quietly over what day it was, in answer to the young man's question. "It's the seventh," turning to face the young man more directly, Lord Grey continued, "Do you have some business coming up that you need the date for?" Very few people had proper need for dates, really. Just using days of the week was so much easier. At least now he could try to strike up a friendly conversation with the other man. With any luck, he could ease his nerves somewhat, the way that everyone here seemed to be so on edge aside from the baker girl, it was a little tiresome. He liked spending time with mortals not to see them fear him, but to get a glimpse of their lives. Something to keep him sane and in control during the endless years.

Coalic gave a look over to the vampire, seeming quite surprised that he confermed his answer. "An event...? No, not really...." He sighed, looking back torts the window. "I just can't seem to remember a few days past...." He sighed. "If today is the seventh then that makes maybe four or five days of nothing..." He groaned, leaning back. He looked up at the cieling. Either it was quite a party or quite a fight that stole so much time from him. "Well then... No point on dwelling on what is lost.." He sighed, acting as if it was nothing, but there was an audible shake in his voice.

He turned and looked at the vampire, figuring if the man had an angle, then he was going to reviele it on his own pace. The demon remained on edge, but there was no use in acting like a kicked puppy. "I don't believe I've introduced myself... Sorry for the rudeness... Please, call me Coalic..." He said, crossing a leg over the other. He smiled faintly and brushed some hair behind his ear to get a better look at the man. His sharp yellow eyes still seemed like they were trying to cut through the vampire as he looked him over. "Who might yoube..? I'm not sure I caught any name.." He asked, taking another drink of water.

Outside, there was a bright flash, followed by the expected thunder, which managed to brighten the room momentarily. One would have had quick eyes to see it, but in the spit moment, the demon's shadow took on an abnormally larger shape. He, himself, didn't even seem to notice as he looked back at the steadily increasing rain outside

Lord Grey eyed the baker girl. Her boldness was not something that Lord Grey was accustomed to, not when the usual reaction tended to be more like that of her brother. Still, Lord Grey would be lying if he said it wasn't refreshing to have someone not treat him as the lord he was. The girl even cut ahead of him and answered the question that the odd young man on the other side of the room had asked.

"I am Lord Grey," the vampire replied simply, in answer to both Coalic and the bold girl. Honestly, he was quite surprised that the young man hadn't heard of him before. There were very, very few people in the city who didn't know of Lord Grey. After all, he was the oldest of those in the Court, and easily had the most rumours flying around about him. Then again, perhaps the boy was from beyond the city. Visitors weren't exactly common, but neither were they unheard of. "I apologise, I should have properly introduced myself sooner."

A crack of thunder roared from outside, loud enough to shake the windows of the bakery, followed by a blinding flash of lightning. For the briefest of moments, Lord Grey could have sworn that he saw the shadow of some massive beast, but as soon as the lightning bathed the room in a harsh, white light, they were left again in the comparatively dim light of the shop. Outside, what had been only a drizzle had turned into a torrential downpour in moments. Such was the weather. With a sigh, Lord Grey realised it would be foolish to try and wait out the storm and he would soon have to head home in the rain. After all, storms here tended to hang around for quite a while, fed by the swamps to the west.

Shortly after the sound died down, he heard the two bakers talking. Lord Grey didn't catch much, and he wasn't in the habit of eavesdropping, but he did hear a name. 'Kamilah'. It was unfamiliar to him, though that was hardly surprising. The bakers seemed nervous... perhaps this Kamilah was family? Being caught out in a storm like this would most certainly not be a good thing. Still, he also wasn't in the habit of just helping people. He'd seen far too much death to care about just one more.

Coalic rolled his eyes a little at the girl's responce. "I only drink at parties.... Granted there's always a party somewhere, but I only go to fun ones..." He said, taking another sip. "And those are generally held on full moons, where I'm from, and a full moon isn't for another week, if I'm right...." He said, humming a little. He did love full moons... Everything comes out then, and it makes for a good night of hunting and dancing. He caught himself smiling at the thought. "Ah, actually!" He said, clapping his hands together. "According to a astrologist, I caught, it should be a lunar eclips...." He said. "I wouldn't suggest leaving the city walls, that night..." He said, shaking his head. "Every creature in the shadows will be out looking for fun" He spoke as if he had som personal expirience, but he wouldn't elaberate any further. Not with the vampire right next to them.

He stood up and walked over to the window, staring out. "Ts... Its going to be a pain making it east if this weather holds..." He sighed. "Ya know, theres a story that if lightning its a thousant year old tree, it'll produce liquid gold, rather than sap..?" He asked, not expecting an answer. His stomach growled a little befor he went to sit down, yawning just a bit. "I haven't seen it my self, but I also don't travel to the top of the mountain much..." He sighed, shaking his head.
