Sasha Thompson
Sasha looked a little puzzled when Eleanor suggested that she had hit her head. Sasha tried explaining things as if she were talking to a child, that usually worked better. No, I didn't hit my head Eleanor. I fixed the elevator and tuned one of my machines to make it more efficient.
Sasha looked into the cafe, now realizing she was actually out of the cafe. She returned her gaze to Eleanor and said, A movie and a salad sounds like a great idea. I'll go find a seat while I wait. Thank you Eleanor.
Sasha failed to offer a smile, as was her usual manner, and began making her way into the cafe when there was a sudden commotion. Looking over, she saw two men intertwined on the floor. The yelp of surprise and pain caught her ear though, so she made her way over.
She looked down, seeing Pluto. She's never met the other man before, but knew him to be Oliver. In a rather monotonic voice she said, Hello Pluto. Hello Oliver. Are either of you hurt? I have morphine if you need it.
Sasha reached into one of her skirt pockets and pulled out a syringe. It had a plastic cap on the tip so she didn't poke herself, and a clear liquid inside. She held it in her hand while she waited for the two men to finish wrestling each other.

Anastasia Glick
Anastasia was at the table closest to the door, so she could hear conversations going on outside. She watched all the people in the cafe as the hunted for their seats, conversing with each other like a family. This complex seemed very friendly, it almost made her want to go and try to join the others.
She noticed a man come in, was he staring at her? At the same time a strange conversation was going on outside. Sounded like something out of Star Trek. She saw another girl walk in, she was wearing a yellow plaid skirt, and, wait, was she barefoot?
Another conversation outside trailed off as the man, still staring at her, tripped over someone, letting out a yelp that made her chuckle, while also bringing her to her feet for fear of his life as he took his tumble. Anastasia stood there in shock, her body tensing up. She wanted to rush over and see if they were OK, but it seemed the oddly dressed barefoot woman was already on the job. Wait, was that a needle? Wait, where did Jarde go?
Anastasia her no voiced in her head currently. This was turning into an odd night indeed, though she was intrigued nonetheless. She slowly sat down as the commotion settled a little bit, and continued to keep a watchful eye on the scenario.

"Ellie, huh? I'm going to go meet up with this Ellie and see if I can fancy myself with a room here." With that Marco was gone, walking away to try and lock down an apartment in the Complex. Felix could not help a small, disappointing frown from appearing on his face, until Marco turned quickly. "Thanks for helping me out by the way, cutie. Hopefully I can get back in time before the first movie starts!" This, quite possibly, was one of the best worst things to say to Felix. His face turned redder than the roses he sells, his voice going an octave higher. "Oh, y-you're welcome?" rubbing the back of his head Felix watched Marco walk away, wondering what just happened.
Shaking his head he stepped forward, paying for his ticket, dropping a vote into the box for The Conjuring. Felix stepped aside from the door, not going in yet seeing as it seemed as if some there was some sort of scene going on just inside. Normally he would go and help, but he was so unused to being complimented that he was extremely flustered, taking a second to breath and calm himself.

A fear of needles was a trivial thing to Sasha. Needles delivered medicine that made people feel better, and she even had a specially designed needle that causes no pain. She respected Oliver's fears nonetheless, tucking the needle back into her pocket.
Sasha answered Pluto's odd inquiry with a little simple common sense. I have many chemicals I use for experiments. I was carrying this morphine in case someone got hurt, it's great for pain.
In a very awkward and sharp transition Sasha asked Pluto, I don't normally watch movies, but Eleanor said I could watch a movie with my salad. Is it alright if I sit with you for the duration? Sasha stood there patiently, awaiting an answer, though she expected rejection. Pluto was nice though, like Eleanor, so it's possible, she figured, that he would let her sit with him.

KarenAKAMint
"Jeff n' Jodi are gonna be jealous when they check out-" Upon opening the door, though, his once excited smile turned into a frown of shock as he found that his room was completely empty. No bed. No tables. No furniture. Nothing.
"Dah hell is this!?" Marco stepped into the room to look around, confirming that it was entirely empty, "What am I supposed to do!? Bring all of my stuff over to-"
His eyes widened in realization. Or, to be more specific, the realization that the complex, much to him not paying attention to Abigail, was not a hotel. Dropping his backpack and dashing down the hallway, down the stairs, through the main lobby, and out the front entrance, he was horrified to find that Abigail was not there.
"Ooooh craaaaap." Was the only thing that groaned out of Marco's mouth, with his hands planted against the sides of his head as horror and regret stained his face, "Why didn't I listen to her...?"

~Lucius Typhon~
As Marco groveled onto the sidewalk, now realizing the situation he was in, another young man casually walked up to Marco and stared down at him, holding a warm coffee in his hand. The young man wore a dark blue, buttoned up shirt with a white undershirt underneath, as well as a grey, tucked-in scarf around his neck. He wore lighter blue jeans, as well as a pair of black shoes and a pair of circular black glasses. The young man's skin was also much lighter than Marco's, and his hair was dark and silky with a faint hue of blue, as if it was dyed that way.
Idiot, the young man thought to himself as he shook his head in petty, as if he knew who Marco was. Turing away from Marco, though, we went on to enter the lobby of the Suncrest Complex and stand in line to receive his ticket and vote for The Conjuring. He always admired James Wan and his seemingly natural affinity to horror, providing Hollywood with films that are actually intelligent, innovative and make use of clever methods of scaring audiences other than mediocre cliques.
Pulling out his pocket watch to give a quick look at the time, he then put it away, taking a sip from his coffee before turning towards another young man standing by the door to the cafe (which had been made into a theater for tonight's movie) and formally asked in a relaxed tone of voice, "Pardon me, but do you perhaps know what time the movie will start. Or, the movie that the residents here voted for?"

With Pluto's permission, Sasha took her seat in her usual cross legged fashion. Oliver had made his exit, though Sasha didn't pay attention, she was busy thinking about quark particles. Her thoughts leaked out through her mouth, I wonder if that could stabilize the triangulation system. Hmm.
Sasha snapped back when Pluto had offered to buy her a meal. While it was a nice thought, Sasha already had food on the way. Sasha gave a little bow in thanks, Thank you Pluto, but Eleanor is already working on food for me, that's why I'm here. I don't normally watch movies otherwise. Sasha looked at Pluto and gave a half smile before returning to her thoughts.

After taking a few moments to steady himself, Felix was breathing easily again, the redness gone from his face. Turning to enter the cafe turned theater he was surprised by another person suddenly in front of him. "Pardon me, but do you perhaps know what time the movie will start. Or, the movie that the residents here voted for?" The man was dressed formally, like he had just come from a business meeting, standing tall above Felix. Which was not hard since Felix is not exactly a big person.
Running a hand through his hair Felix exhaled, thinking for a moment. "I am not sure when the movie will start, but it should be sometime soon. As for what the residents have voted... I am afraid I do not know as well. I have lived at the Complex for some time and still do not know many of my neighbors." Giving an awkward chuckle Felix smiled. "I guess that is what happens when you focus too much on work."

"Well in that case, I might as well fetch myself a seat before they're all taken," Lucius chuckled with a soft grin, having mannerisms like that of a dignified gentleman, "And Indeed, work can be quite the time-consumer. Though I've found that working in a job that you enjoy can be quite beneficial to the mind and the soul. That is, if you find the privilege of acquiring a job you enjoy through shear luck."Felix Oliver Rose

With a relaxed sigh, the handsome man took a quick glimpse at his pocket watch, before slightly bowing his head towards Felix as he then said, "Thank you very much for you're time." And with that, as suddenly as he met Felix, he left to the cafe to find himself a seat, like a phantom drifting aimlessly in the cold, yet gentle breeze.

~ Saren Hyatt ~
That night in Nick's room had really freaked the woman out. She had ended up leaving after all. When security showed up, they had made it pretty clear Nick would be on some sort of lock down until they figured out how the girl had gotten in. Of course they didn't find anything. Saren actually believed she had teleported in or something. It was quite unreal, yet as weird as the girl was it didn't seem out of the realm of possibility. Not with her. In the end, Saren had struggled on her own to finish the song. What more was that she had left that cake at Nick's house. And his cold exterior was breaking down, I could feel it! Mental crying. Oh well. Another time to collab perhaps.
Saren was about to take a break from lyric writing. After submitting the most recent song, she had about a week or two before she had to focus on her next assignment. She had been selected to write a theme song to a popular drama show. A forbidden love and action story revolving around fallen angels. Not to mention the male lead was pretty hot, and she would be able to visit the cast on set. And the female lead is perfect for the part. I wonder if they might fall in love for real? It wasn't uncommon for actors and actresses on set to form real bonds off camera. But there are also rumors about a second love interest. Another male. They say Ryan Huagi will play the part. If that's true then I'm not sure what team I should be on??! Saren was getting chills from just imagining it.
Saren had spent the morning as usual, not leaving her room. Then listening to music and dancing the afternoon away with Zara. But now, as she sat down in front of her computer, in a red top and black shorts, she sent a few necessary emails. She couldn't just start an animal shelter out of thin air. It was a work in progress. But knowing she had the support of a fellow friend, Sam, made her feel invincible. If she could also get Nick to co-op, it would also boost the recognition of the shelter. And recognition is what fueled volunteers. But if not, she was certain she could still make her dreams come true. Because she did not step out much, Saren had no clue of the Friday movie night. Hell. She thought movie night was a rumor.
Pulling out her cell phone, she leaned back in her chair and messaged Sam, all the while reaching down with her right hand to scratch behind Zara's ears.
Sam (:
Hey, want to hangout tonight? We could also discuss the shelter. (Unless you are busy, I completely understand)

~ Ian Lassiter ~
Interacting With: Ollie
Oh, the life of Ian Lassiter. He was thrilled to resume his rather simple lifestyle. That other day was way, way crazy. Something like so was entertaining though he had decided. Every once in awhile anyways. Tonight was movie night. Warren always found the horror movies far too scary for his liking. Ian on the other hand, was going to this one. He loved all sorts of movies, and nothing really frightened him per-say. Not the usual gore, ghosts, and murder anyways. No, Ian probably had other triggers. Walking down to the cafe, he quickly voted, avoiding eye contact with Ellie as much as he could. He voted for the Grudge, as it seemed the most scary out of all the choices. She probably thinks I dislike her. He figured. He usually came off as that guy that kept to himself; that guy with resting bitch face on 24/7.Interacting With: Ollie
He had unfortunately witnessed all of the guy's trip and awkward fleeing to the side of the room. Ian's eyes followed him and his stare at the girl in the crowd. Ian personally hadn't seen either of them before. Then again, he didn't make it his business to keep tabs on every member at the complex. But it was written all over the guy's face. He was falling hard for this girl, and literally. She wasn't Ian's type, but then again did he really have a type? Ellie was a looker, but that's all she would ever be. A girl to admire. She seemed so perfect, and that was exactly why Ian couldn't have her. Maybe he was attracted to the successful and confident type? Like Saren. Nah. Too wealthy. He liked a more simplistic girl. One that wouldn't stand out. Definitely not like his neighbor Sasha...though she could be cute at times. Ugh. Yeah. thinking about girls really made his head hurt. It was a bit of a pain. Or a lot of a pain. Relationships were a pain. It was easier to refrain from them at all costs.
Walking up to the guy after having bought his ticket successfully, he leaned against the wall beside him. "You're making it way too obvious. Why did you walk away? The view is probably better when you don't have to squint through the crowd."

Samuel (Sam) Nightlock
Sitting at the bench, Sam watched Luke run around in the rain. He couldn't stop laughing as the german shepherd ran around in a clear raincoat. It wasn't his idea to have the poor canine wear the ridiculous outfit, but the last time he brought Luke home, soaking wet, he didn't hear the end of it from his mother.
"Come on, boy! Let's get you out of the ridiculous thing!" he called out to his best friend and companion. As he got up from the bench and clipping Luke back on his leash, he felt his cell phone go off. Fishing it out of his pocket, Sam smiled at the message Saren sent him. As he and Luke headed back inside the building, he texted Saren back.
SarenHey, want to hang out tonight? We could also discuss the shelter. (Unless you are busy, I completely understand)Hey Saren. Always free to talk about the shelter with you. Especially when I am not going to Movie Night.
As we entered back into the Lobby, Sam noticed the line was much smaller and his sisters were just entering the Cafe with a bunch of their friends. Ellie waved at him as she called out, "Are you sure you don't want me to save you a seat?" Sam laughed sarcastically, knowing she was messing with him, "Nice try, Ellie! I'm not about to get tortured for two hours tonight!" Sam could hear her laugh as he entered the elevator. Giving her one final wave as the doors closed, he rode the elevator back to his floor.

The blue LED light flashed upon the corner of her cellular device, and Saren stopped scratching Zara as she opened the message from Sam. Only, it wasn't him. No, that message would come later. Instead it was from Saren's father. Her eyes immediately clouded over with annoyance as her thumbs tapped the screen.
Saren groaned as she laid her head on the desk in front of her. No dad, I'm not a lesbian. As far as I know anyways. And even if I was I wouldn't want your sexual advice. Ugh grossss!!! And what is up with all those smiley faces??? Act your own age father! She was about to just pitch her phone across the room onto her bed when the light flashed again, and Sam's name appeared on the notification. Finally, a message to cleanse my mind. Reading his message did offer some peace for her, and she replied back,
Sam wasn't exactly in that friend stage yet, she had only met him once. But he was easy to be around, and as a potential business partner she wanted to form a bond with him. She was often close with her clients, and she had to be in order to write meaningful songs for them. But having a true friendship, one that bloomed from something other than work was special and cherish-able. This shelter was a dream for Saren, and as much as she loved music, she loved animals even more. Being able to share this dream with others, she was sure something beautiful would come out of it
As he was waiting for the guy to respond, he turned his head towards the sweet voice that called his name. It was the girl from the supermarket. Right. What an unlucky event that had been. But two kind souls had aided him, and a bit of him figured he wouldn't see them ever again. Even if they resided in the complex along with him. Maybe they wouldn't recall him, he had figured. But it seemed you couldn't count on life to be a ton of figures. Because here the woman was, in front of him, flesh and blood. "Hey." He had merely acknowledged her presence with his usual indifferent attitude. He was grateful for her introduction to the man beside him, otherwise he wouldn't have remembered her name. He didn't bother remembering names of those he didn't think he would interact with again. It was the reason he hadn't introduced himself yet to the man beside him. Though, with Lexi's calling out to him it was obvious by now without needing a proper introduction on Ian's part.
Lexi's accent dipped into the all time high, and his eyes widened slightly. He wasn't used to hearing such thick accents before, or being around foreigners in general. It was intriguing to the ears, so much that he actually removed the ear-buds in his ears to hear better; looping them around his to lay over the front of his chest. He often kept them in, even when he wasn't listening to music- like the case had been when he entered the cafe for movie night. "You didn't strike me as the horror movie type." He spoke up, his eyes focusing on Lexi.
The Father
Hello my angel (: !!! Have you been eating well? It's not too lonely there is it? You are making friends? Of course you are. My girl is a capable young woman! I know, I know. I heard about your shelter idea. Are you sure you can handle this? You know the family business is already established right here for you :D
Of course father. Don't coddle me, I AM a woman now! I believe in my capabilities for this project. You already know my thoughts about the family business.
Alright, Alright. Just know you always have a back up to fall on. What about your love life? Desolate I hope? :D
-___- You hope???
I'm ready to give you up to your dreams, but not to another man! :angryfrown:
Or to a woman...if you roll that way ;D
Saren? Angel?? :angel: I promise I won't discriminate if you are into women sexually! :3:
You know I love you! I could ...you know. Teach you all about how to woe a woman, your father is said to be quite the charmer you know :blowkiss:

Back in his apartment, Sam sat beside his mother as they watched the news and dried off Luke's feet before allowing him to roam around the house. There was nothing but idiocy in the news as he felt his phone go off once more.
"Are to bothering your sisters again?" Lauren asked him.
Sam gasped dramatically as he responded, "Me bothering! No, how could I!? But, I'm not talking to the girls. I gave them the night since it's the weekend..."
"So you don't mind having the girls inviting their male friends as well?" she asked almost testing him.
Sam gave his mother a smile and responded, "I have eyes at the Cafe to send me a report..."
"Ellie?"
"...Yeah," he said with a bit of a delay, which Lauren just let out a deep sigh.

Every other Friday is movie night. Sure, you name the place and we'll meet there. Just that the Cafe is out of the question since they are closed for the movie viewing.

Lexi looked at the two gentelmen before her, when Ian spoke out to her, "You didn't strike me as the horror movie type."
Lexi shrugged as she chuckled, "Not my first pick, I just like them for the rush. There's nothing better than a quick jump scare to get the heart pumping."
Lexi tightened her hold on her blanket, remembering she was wearing her lazy closest she normally would wear around the apartment. If I knew he was going to be here, I would have worn something better then my kitty pajama pants and tank top...
"Well, I'll just be over there," she pointed to the open spot behind Ian, "If you guys get tired of standing around, there is plenty of blankets to share." With that, she waved them goodbye and began to set up the blanket to soften the cold tile floors of the cafe.

And so the guy never actually replied to either Lexi nor him. Probably shouldn't have expected anything. Especially from the way he was staring holes into that girl. But Ian couldn't really judge, as he pulled a previous memory of staring at Ellie. Scratching the back of his neck in a bit of embarrassment, he willed the thought away. It was just once! And completely unintentional! And I'm positive it didn't last that long.
Ian needed to distract himself from such horrid thoughts, and Lexi's kitty pajamas were perfect. He held back a smile, as he thought one of them looked like one his own cats. But a small chuckle ended up escaping his lips anyways.
Lexi's offer began to hover over both him and the other guy, but the other guy seemed to be a bit troubled. Like he was thinking of a massive plan of sorts. Ian wasn't sure, but as the guy took a seat down on the blanket beside Lexi, and spoke quietly, Ian stared at them both blankly for a few seconds, raising his brow skeptically. Damn....what a player. Got to give him props. But I hope that's not his A-game. The man was really making use of his time here. Figuring this would be an interesting trail of events, Ian joined Lexi and the guy and sat down. He hadn't thought of bringing blankets. But it was a good idea. Running his hands over the soft fabric, he allowed himself to relax a little bit. He wondered if she would actually be charmed by the man's words. After the whole ordeal with Sasha, he was completely open minded about the possibilities in life. Anything could happen.
Since Lexi mentioned loving the rush that jump scares provided, he wondered if he could manage to scare her at some point through the movie. But quickly diminished the idea, as it was guaranteed to draw attention to him within the crowd, and he didn't care for that. "Ah, right. I still owe you. Have you thought about anything you want?" Ian questioned Lexi, his eyes had been kept forward at the large screen, seemingly disinterested. Suddenly he dared to glance over at Lexi's pajama pants once more, and he asked a little hesitantly, "You...like cats huh? Do you...have some of your own?" His usual nonchalant gaze held a particular light in them now despite the dim room; clearly anticipating her answer.
Saren's a confident girl, and confident people can make decisions in the blink of an eye. But why did she feel a bit lost after reading Sam's text? I could recommend a lot of places to meet up. But it is raining after all. And running around in the rain only really works if you plan on kissing in it at the end. Or...something like that. Then it came to her. The one place that was perfect for doing research.

Hey, want to hangout tonight? We could also discuss the shelter. (Unless you are busy, I completely understand)
Hey Saren. Always free to talk about the shelter with you. Especially when I am not going to Movie Night.
What? Movie night is actually a thing here?? Would you like to meet somewhere, or either of our apartments is acceptable as well.
Every other Friday is movie night. Sure, you name the place and we'll meet there. Just that the Cafe is out of the question since they are closed for the movie viewing.
Why don't we meet up in the computer lab on the main floor? It's usually pretty private, and they have a large white board on the wall that would be perfect for collaborating. Oh! Since you mentioned being a vet student, if you could bring any text books you might have laying around?
She didn't mention what she wanted them for. But truly it piqued her curiosity. Her knowledge in medical topics were slim, and she always wondered how difficult it really was. Saren had exemplary business management skills due to her upbringing. Science or health was never included in her training. And so she kissed Zara on the forehead, checked to be sure her food and water bowl were filled, and headed out with her computer tablet in hand. She often kept a lot of her designs and information stored onto it.

Alexis (Lexi) Stone
As Lexi took a seat on her blanket, enough room on either side of her for anyone that wished to have seat, she heard the other man shyly whispered and taking a seat beside her, "H-hi...thanks, p-pretty..."
Lexi couldn't help but laugh, a bit bashful for the compliment, "Why, thank you for the compliment." She smiled at his and turned to Ian as he stood there for a moment, but then took the empty seat on the other side.
"Ah, right. I still owe you. Have you thought about anything you want?" Ian asked looking forward to the white screen.
Lexi shook her head and answered, "Really, it's no need."
"You...like cats huh? Do you...have some of your own?" Ian asked as he looked at my pajama pants.
A light shade of red went to my cheeks from the embarrassment. Not many of the other guests here were wearing pajamas, some wore their comfortable clothing. Nodding she answered, "Yeah, I have a little Munchin Kitten. His name is Samson." As she looked away from him, a thought came to her mind. "What size are you..." she asked abruptly then apologized, "I'm so sorry, It's just that I need someone to help me with some fittings. I make clothes, so I need someone to wear the designs, in order to fix them."
Lexi turned to the Barista bar where Ellie was helping make drinks as she continued, "I asked Ellie to help with the female designs but I need a male to help, well, with the male ones. If you don't mind having needles occasionally pinching you, that is."

Samuel (Sam) Nightlock
After his back and forth banter with Lauren, Sam laid on the couch as Luke played himself comfortably on top of him. "You know, you aren't a lap dog, right?" Sam asked his dog and companion as he pets him. He didn't mind Luke being this way, but when company came around, he loved to claim people by sitting on them. Sam turned to his cell phone as it went off, and he responded back to Saren.
"Sorry boy, but I have to go," he announced to Luke as he pushed him off of him. Sam walked to his room and picked up his four textbooks that he still kept with him. They were textbooks that covered household pets, and one of them covered horses. I wonder what she needs them for... Shrugging he announced to Lauren, "I'm heading out! I'll be at the computer lab if you need me."
"The computer lab? You have a perfectly working one here," she said as she pointed at the old PC in the living room.
"I'm meeting someone there," he reassured, "I won't be long, I still have to work tomorrow." With that, he walked out of the apartment and took the stairs down to the computer lab. The lobby was empty and the cafe's glass doors were closed and covered with curtains to block out the light. Turning toward the back of the complex and entered the empty computer lab and waited for Saren.

Ian's eyes glowed at Lexi's response, and he suddenly leaned in closer to her face in a bit of excitement. "Oh, wow. He must be really cute. I also have-" His words cut off, and he leaned back, looking off to the side so his bangs covered his right eye ever so slightly. I can't be so enthusiastic about cats. Right. He had an image to keep. He was always the care-free, never gets too excited about anything type of guy ever since middle school. Nobody could find his weakness now! That he was actually a sucker for cute things and cats. Not even his brother knew, and if he did, he would never hear the end of it. Nobody could ever find out about how he cuddled with his two cats every night in bed, how he rubbed his cheek against theirs when bathing them. "I also have a cat....or two." He finished, a little more casually and minus the zest.
As she brought up size, he turned his face back to her with curiosity. After her explanation he bit his lip in thought. "Hmm...like a fashion designer? Well I'm 5'9, and I'd say my body is toned...but if you want exacts then you'll have to measure me." Ian never really cared for exact measurements since high school physicals. Waist size, arm lengths, anytime he went shopping he just grabbed whatever looked like it would fit. He glanced over at the guy on the other side of Lexi and, grinning, he added, "Though...if you need someone a little taller, I'm sure he would be up for the job, right?" Ian wanted to see this guy make some more moves, as he figured they would be far more entertaining than the chosen movie.
Lexi brought up Ellie, and Ian's face practically went cold, the playful grin dissipated immediately. They're friends huh? Well it isn't surprising. Ellie's easy to get along with. Always so friendly. He managed to chuckle a bit at Lexi's last sentence. "I'm a masochist, so it's all good." He was joking. But yet he wasn't at the same time.

Walking past the cafe, Saren had to stop and stare. He wasn't kidding. Movie night IS a thing. Man. She needed to get out more. Stepping inside the computer lab, she smiled and waved over at Sam, taking a seat beside him. "Hey, how's your evening going?" She asked politely, setting her tablet on the counter and pushing the on-button of the computer in front of her. She had been in here a few times, but they had recently upgraded the computers. Nothing too fancy, but more modern than the previous versions, and Saren was thrilled to play with them. She wrapped her long hair off to one side of her shoulder, and typed in the guest password to login to the server. Interacting with: Sam

Her eyes finding the books in his hands, her eyes brightened. "You brought them. Do you mind?" She extended her hand out at one of the text books. "I don't plan on becoming a veterinarian, but I've always been curious of how it's like."

"Oh, wow. He must be really cute. I also have-" Lexi nodded to the comment of Samson being cute, and then looked at Ian, slightly conffused at his sudden change of personally when he continued, "I also have a cat....or two."
"No need to shy away from saying something is cute you know," Lexi offered, "I wouldn't judge. Everyone has something they this is cute..." Lexi offered him a smile, encouraging him to open up, but then he moved on to talking about my offer for what he can do in return for helping him, even though she didn't mind helping.
"Hmm...like a fashion designer? Well I'm 5'9, and I'd say my body is toned...but if you want exacts then you'll have to measure me. Though...if you need someone a little taller, I'm sure he would be up for the job, right?"
"I'm not that tall. My name's Oliver, by the way. You can call me Ollie."
"Ollie," Lexi repeated, testing the name and then asked, "Would you be up to help me out to fix my designs? The fine print is the slight chance of getting pinched by needles. It won't happen unless you move too much. Either, if any of you are available and want to help me out, I will be in the cafe in the morning, before working on the designs."
Lexi pulled her knees close to her as she rested her head on them. Back home she would have her siblings to help her make corrections on her designs but now as she lives on her own, she needs to find a new pair to help her. Then again she would have to get different people to make cloth for all sizes.

"Hey, how's your evening going?"
Sam took the seat beside her and answered, "Long day at the station but, everything has been great. The weather makes me much more mellow than the sun. Perfect to just stay inside and enjoy a nice cup of coffee." When Saren pointed out the textbook he offered then to her which she gladly took one as she skimmed through the text.
"I don't plan on becoming a veterinarian, but I've always been curious about how it's like."
"Once you get passed the texts, you never expect what comes after," Sam announced, "The first time I was placed to practice on a dog, I was horrified at what I need to do, but showing your fear only worried the animal. Once I calmed both myself and the canine, I was able to perform my job to fix her broken leg."
Sam looked up a the ceiling remember the day, "One thing is to study medicine, another is to actually do the job, but after you do you first job, you get a rhythm of things and work without a single worry. It's like stage fright. You stand there, knowing all eyes are on you, but once you find that one thing that calms you, you make the grandest performance you have ever done. No worry in the world, just you and the stage, or in my case, me and the bond of a pet."

Ian merely shrugged when Lexi offered her kind words of no judgment. He was still adamant on keeping his love for cats a secret. And, if anyone was going to change his mind, it would take more than a lecture on acceptance. So the man finally speaks. He makes proper sentences too. Ian raised his eyebrows with interest. Well, his job was done, or so he thought. Ollie was his name, and he repeated it a few times within his mind, willing it to stick unlike many of the names that passed by him on a daily basis. But after he introduced himself properly, Ian thought he heard him say something else under his breath. He was going to prompt the man, but sort of figured he may just have been hearing things, as Lexi didn't seem to hear anything. Maybe Ian just had sensitive ears? Or it was someone behind them? Must have been.
When Lexi mentioned she would be in the cafe in the mornings, Ian wasn't entirely sure if he personally would show up. But he did owe h-
His eyes widened as a memory clicked in his head. Now he knew why there was a nagging feeling that he had been around this woman before. She often came to the cafe, and not just to get coffee. The screen above them began to flicker as a sign the movie would begin soon. That's right...I've heard her voice before. In the cafe ordering...I didn't realize before. I guess it takes being here to trigger a memory. Softly, he breathed, "Looks like the movie is starting. And...I'd be interested in seeing some of your sketches sometime. Maybe I can look through them while Ollie tries on the designs...I can tell you if they are accurate or not." He left the sentence rather vague on purpose. Most designers were great artists. But he was sure she would follow. He kept his eyes forward, but he was grinning softly.

Some people might be nervous hanging out with a cop, even if they weren't on duty. But being around Sam felt quite natural, just like being with anyone else. Flipping through the large text, her eyes glistened with wonder. "It seems like a lot to remember. But it is very fascinating." She set the book on her lap, looking up with interest to fully listen to Sam's words. A smile crept up on her face. "Wow. I wish I could have been there to witness the awakening moment. But I can imagine. It isn't good enough to simply read about it...experiencing it is another story entirely." Saren closed the book and set it on the counter. "I can really feel your passion towards helping animals. I love being able to feel the lively energy people give off when talking about topics they adore." She tapped his chest with the tablet pen she held in her hand. "I hope I can recruit people who are just as passionate as you." Interacting with: Sam

Taking her tablet she transferred some images onto the larger desktop screen. They were rough sketch of a large building, including a fenced in area with open yard space. "Now, the professionals will turn my sketches into a blown out blueprint in time, but I was thinking something like this. The large open area will be where the dogs will be walked or let out to play at least twice a day. But on the inside I was thinking instead of boring cells like you see with most shelters, I want to make it more visually aesthetic for the animals. So larger cells, neutral colors around, not too decorative, but cozy enough you know?"
The woman made a few clicks. "For cats, I think once they have proven they can react with others well, placing them in a large pen together that has a patio type deal going on would be good. So they can socialize and get some fresh air as well if they want." She bit her lip and tilted her head slightly. "Though most shelters just carry dogs and cats, I'd like to have a section for animals like bunnies and such just in case.....what do you think about performing free neutering and spaying? Of course I would be paying, but I feel like a lot of people don't fix their animals because they can't afford it. And then they end up with an abundance of offspring they can't take care of." She leaned back in her chair.
"I'm not thinking too much too fast am I?? Maybe? On a lighter subject, would you mind telling me how you met Luke? You mentioned a shelter when I first met you guys, but how exactly was it? How did you know he was the one." She leaned in slightly, eager for the story.
