Taking the menu, Athanasios peruse it for a type of tea he would like. Among the three of them, he was the avid tea drinker. He finds it perfect for relaxing and even aids him in having wonderful sleep. Honestly, it was far more important than what was going around him and for that sake, he completely ignored the brother-sister act in front of him. Anyway, he is certain that Vicentius could handle Selene. After all, the man would not be the coven leader if such instances could easily break any notion of authority. The Council also definitely trusted the man with the so-called confidential missions. It spoke volumes of what to expect from the Caelum Family Leader. He also did see what the man is capable of a few times personally. That is why he decided to put his attention in picking out the perfect order. He did not even notice Vicentius' gaze on him.
Even the fact that new customers entered the bakery also fly passed him. Athanasios was more interested in the menu than anything else right now. But eventually, he had finally chosen an order. "A slice of strawberry shortcake and black tea." The waitress jotted it down, took the mean, and then left to prepare the order. "Oh. Wait. There is no order for her." Doris stopped midway if possible, she would have comically sweatdropped. It seemed that this guy was quite absentminded. But, she just smiled at him. "Dr. Calloway already ordered. Don't worry." He looked at Vicentius. Doris took that as a cue for her to leave the three newcomers alone.
Athanasios procured a pill bottle with a prescription labeled on it. Vicentius actually prepared this. The Coven Leader is very thorough. But, he wasn't sure if Selene would refuse but he should be prepared for it. She had never made things easy. They can't afford to make a scene as well. But if they do, he took note of the people inside the bakery. That is when he noticed that the booth in front of them was occupied. He cared little for the two girls but the back of that white-haired person. His eyes narrowed. He wanted to see the face.
That person...
"I don't want to... It makes me drowsy and tastes bitter. I don't want to drink it." Selene's response resembled that of a pouting and spoiled child. It took Athanasios' attention as he set aside his contemplations at some other time. She looked at Vicentius with her purple eyes glistening. "Please don't make me drink it, Vic. You say you'll make it up to me right? Don't make me drink it." Their voices were not loud but the actions were probably raising awareness about them. Troublesome...
"But, it's bitter..." Selene stuck out her tongue in disgust just like a child. She was actually enjoying making things difficult for the two men near her. They never clarified what kind of broken person she is. So, she improvised. There is nothing wrong about a little sister clinging to her older brother with that kind of premise. She could tell though that Vicentius is not pleased with her stunt. His mask is nigh impenetrable but she sees thing hidden in the dark better. It is fun making the so-called Vampire Prince squirm inwardly. He even tried to tell her off as well as telling her to end her none-drinking streak. Anyway, she is also curious about what the pretend fiancé would do.
Selene covered her lips. Her cheeks were flushed red and her ears felt they were burning. That was a good reaction from what Athanasios could see. It seemed that she is really a good actress but not that much since he could taste his own blood. "What are you doing?!" She latched onto Vicentius burying her face on the man's chest. "You need to take your medicine and..." He looked around a bit to see the expressions' of the others but he really could not care. "I don't see anything wrong when I want to kiss my fiancée." She responded without revealing her face. "...Idiot." Her ears were still burning. He did not say anything more and returned to his seat. It was just in time as their orders arrived. "This looks delicious."
