"You're going to get drunk," as if she was one to talk about drinking habits, Selene thought, as she watched him tip back the glass. She sipped at the wine, touching the edge of the glass to her lips, after he pushed it over to her and nodded. "If you can spare the time. I won't be going back to the hunters to let the rumors settle first." That and because she didn't want to be around for the resulting shitstorm that would ensue because of it, as well as suddenly going missing after an unfinished mission. She had to think this through carefully.
Getting some wine in her let her relax enough that she didn't really care about the way they were here together like old times. She gave him a mildly bemused look at his reaction upon seeing the duck, at how he was so focused on the food he quickly flashed a smile at the waitress before turning back it. "You sure look like you are," she remarked, raising an eyebrow at the groan that left his mouth upon tasting the duck. He always did like how the Giovanni cooked it, and he wasn't shy in showing how much he liked the food if it was good. That had made her want to be better at cooking then... She pushed her fork at the salad on the plate, before spearing some and tasting the well done raspberry vinaigrette on the greens. She watched him eat for a few more moments before taking a small piece of duck, chewing thoughtfully. Well, she could see why he was so pleased about the food - it was seasoned just right with herbs and spices, cooked just the way he liked it. Funny how she still knew even after all this time.
She ate in silence with him for some time before she spoke up. "He was the one who didn't immediately believe you were dead, you know." Other than her initial denial of what happened, her father was the one who wanted to look even deeper into things. Her father was easily thought of by others as too suspicious of what happened around him, a madman even, but Selene knew he was usually astute things. Very, very astute. "He may have been on to something. I believe his words were, 'he's a stubborn one, Selene, I don't think he'd die so easily. Just look at how much he still comes back after I shoved a rifle right up in his face'." Her father had an odd sense of humor... But he had actually learned to like having her and Phynex around at his house.
