Curor kept bouncing his foot in nervous habit, looking around at what moved. "What's wrong?" Mason asked.
"Something I don't like is going here." Curor replied. He had noticed that the elderly man and the girl had taken a table next to them, but the boy was missing.
"I feel it to man, but we gotta relax, right?" Mason said, putting his arms on the table and giving a stern look.
"Relax... Right." Curor, said leaning back. He closed his eyes for a few seconds, before he heard the voice of the server again.
"Your water, sir." He heard, and he opened his eyes expecting the glass of water be slid in front of him. Instead, it was being given to Mason.
"I, erm," Mason stuttered. "Didn't order any water."
"I did." Curor said, leaning up.
"Ah, sorry sir." The server said, taking the water and trying to slide it back over. The server looked at Curor, a little nervous, but was relived when he picked up the water. When he dumped it over the side of the table, not so much. He suddenly had a few pairs of eyes watching their table.
"Look... Jacob was it? I don't know how things work around here, but honestly, I think I got an idea." Curor said, his tone carrying something sinister to it.
"I... I... I will go clean this up and replace the water... Sir." The server said, and turned around, only for Curor to carry the conversation.
"Well, thank you, to be honest, I was expecting you to say just that, walk away, and not come back for another twenty minutes to serve the human and the synthetic /bastard/ that you seem to be oh-so-fond of."
Mason sighed, and held the bridge of his nose. "Oh no." He muttered as the server turned around with a screwed up face.
"Yeah? So what? I'm a normal guy who's just going about his business, and then assholes like you and start making up lies!" He said, shaking a finger at Curor. Mason at this point was pretty sure they had the entire restaurants view on them. "What the hell have you done to be so special, huh? Does a fucking metal hand-"
"Arm." Curor corrected.
"An arm? Does an arm let you go around town like you own the place? What have you done that's worth a damn."
"I lost it." Curor said blankly.
"Huh?" The server said with a puzzled look on his face. Curor then put his feet toghther, stood up straight, and saluted.
"Alex Curor, Second Lieutenant of the Marines, at your service!" He said, a hint of sarcasm at the last of the sentence.
"What is this, some kind of joke?" The server growled. Curor then walked up to the server, close enough to make him cower a bit, trying to take a step back.
"No, boy. It's not. I lost my arm while in service to the army. You know, instead of going home, crying like a baby, I sucked it up and got a new arm so I could continue service. I'm going to ask you the same question, what have you done? Served Bureaucrats their meals? That ain't even a butlers work. A butler might actually give a damn about the person they are employed to. You? You just want to pad your wallet with some over pay from a fancy restaurant." He said, looking into the mans eye. "You want to go boy? Go ahead. Throw the first punch."
The two stood there for a bit, staring at each other. Mason sat there, waiting and watching. Then the server drew his fist back and tried to punch, for what was there for a second Curors head. He was then set upon a barrage of military hardened boxer punches.
