It was nice of her to compliment her, but Leo found Angela's interruption a tad rude. Pointing it out might be even worse, so she let it drop. 'What a dick move..' "Oh, um, sure I guess. Theo and Scar are their names. I've had them close to three years now, and they are pretty much my most prized possession. If something happened to them, I'd flip shit." She finished off her drink and gave the empty glass to a passing servant, "I guess Theo is the more dominant one. Occasionally he tries to bite me and go for the eyes, other times he'll attack his brother. Despite them sharing the same body I think they are two different creatures."

Angela- "That's brilliant! I do not believe I have seen such a creature in ... just ages, and when I did, it was not alive. Oh, I do hope I get a chance to see them. Are you interested in other biological oddities?"

"Err, no, can't say that I am.. What are you both into? I mean in general - Hobbies, music, art.. Whatevs." She specifically targeted the question to the both of them. She rather liked the way Gaston-Louis talked; His accent was dope!

Angela- "Gaston-Louis likes swords and whatnot. Mm, for hobbies, I have lately taken a renewed interest in knitting. I disregarded it for a long time as a peasant tradition and beneath me, but these days they make the most amazing yarn from fibers around the world. My newest fancy is the fur of the polar wombat. You cannot be-lieeve how soft it is! For music, I find the more passionate classical musics are still the elixir for my soul, though Francesca and the others are always trying to get me to listen to this hip hop and B and R music, and it's all just so annoying, you know? Now art, that is a subject of great depth and breadth, and I'm given to understand you are all artists, so I'm sure you have so much interesting to say about it yourselves. After all, what is art in the first place? ... ... ..." Gaston-Louis hadn't even bothered to speak, anticipating the kind of reaction such a question would bring from her.

"What.. is art?" ..And this is where she got passionate."Let me start off by saying art is different for everyone. Now, personally, i'm not religious. There was a time where I'd think I was a faithful Goddite, but looking back on myself I don't think that was the case." She began to gesture with her hands for emphasis."But when I first got into art.. It was amazing. I created masterpieces in my eyes my school could never appreciate, thus, I dropped out. I began to work in abstract pieces; Throwing a paint brush around to see what would happen. And the feeling I got from stepping back and looking at a finished piece.." She stared off into nothingness, a certain gleam in her eye, "That feeling - The way the final product looked, it's texture, how it shined in the light.. It lifts me up in a way that religion never could. It fills that void for me." Leo leaned back in her chair with a contented smile,"Art is feelings, raw emotions, thoughts, secrets - Your personality plastered in a way no one will understand but you. That is art."

Angela- "Yes, yes... Indeed. That's brilliant! I can't stand the stultifying sanctimony of supposed religious rapture - those fools who think they have a seal over all awe and transcendant experience of the world. How pitifully small they seem compared to the feelings one derives from one's native passions! Before I heard your spirited words I was thinking of talking about the cold semantic issues of art - what it used to be considered versus now an what-have-you - but I can't imagine wasting the effort making those noises since you elevated that discourse into a more worthy plane. Emotion! That is what is all about at the end of the night. We live only for emotion. Believe me, when the heart stops beating, a true passion never ends. And why have I denied myself the pleasure of stepping back and seeing something of my own creation take life in this way, for so long? It seems quite silly in retrospect. Now, mind you, if I am to pursue an art it will be a different one. It is prose that puts the bloom on my rose, if you follow my meaning. But this subject of painting, perhaps I shall use it in some way for a story... Yes! I like that..."

Leo rubbed the back of her head. Her little rant had left her a tad bashful; Complete with rose-tinted cheeks."I'll take that as a compliment, then. It's nice to meet someone who has an appreciation for art that runs as deep as mine. Is there anything else either of you would like to know?"

Angela- "Why, only whatever you're willing to tell us, but I do hope you feel open to tell us anything. After all, who has time for coyness? Though it has its place, you know, in the progress of courtship, but this is not such a place. Not that we wouldn't want to court you, of course, you're quite dramatically built, like a warrior goddess of old and something to behold. But that is not the nature of the game as proposed by my dear friend Dominic. Let me tell you, he is quite brilliant and if he thinks a game should go a certain way, well, I'm willing to play it. And you're playing it well, I might add. So..." This seemed like the kind of table you will have to pry yourself away from.

And pry herself away she shall! It was evident this woman wasn't going to stop talking anytime soon. Time to bail."Ah, right.." Leo stood to leave, "It was very nice talking to you both, I guess.. even though one of you did most of the talking.. Enjoy the rest of yer'evening." She walked away with the intention of getting some more alcohol.

Angela- "Very well, very well... Gaston-Louis, she was quite remarkable don't you think? Oh, many of them are, beautiful and interesting. This is such a rare occasion, one to really look at the mortals in a different light, and I find it quite charming, don't you?"
Gaston-Louis- "..." The table was open!

Two actors paid a visit here. Ru-
"Good evening gentlefolk. How does your night find you?" Ru gestured towards the chair, as if awaiting invitation to seat himself. An equally, but more naturally pale woman walked beside him. -Babette
"I'm Babette, and this is Ru. What a gorgeous red dress, Madam."

Gaston-Louis- "...Oui."

Ru- "Thank you ma'am. Your dress is lovely. I'm Mr. Knight. I played the vampire in Lychgate. Have you seen the film, perchance? "

Angela- "Well no, but I've every intention to, especially after meeting you lovely dears. And that's so sweet of you both to notice my dress! It's a humble little number from ... some time ago, the Brooke Mather collection. I do put care into the selection of my garments for all special occasions, and this is rather more special than usual. I thought the notes of blue lent it a certain electricity, to work with the excitement in the air, and the red to show that I'm on fire. I often wear red, but then, I'm often in the grip of some sort of passion. Some people lead lives of exultation. Well, I don't know if that's me, but I know that I can't stay low for long. And speaking of low, these morbid tones you've cloaked yourselves in, is this further promotion of the feeling of your eerie film? I haven't seen yours yet, mind you, but I've seen a few eerie films in my day, and they are just... fascinating - not that I'm a morbid person, simply that the dark side of life - there's an attraction there even for the healthy of mind, such as the excitement felt at the edge of a precipice - how long has it been since I felt that particular texture of excitement? Too long, but never mind. Oh, I'm Angela and this is my boy Gaston-Louis."
Gaston-Louis- "Oui."

Ru- "Angela...Hello. And Mr Gaston-Louis." Ru held out his hand for hers like a gentleman. He thought perhaps she might like that sort of thing judging from her general excited demeanor. He examined both of them. Beautiful, strange people in their own way. He wondered if Gaston-Louis spoke only his mothertongue. "We cloak ourselves in tones that suit the finest resonance of our spirits, madame. For ourselves, a stark reality is the only reality, and somber tones suit pallid complexions." Ru thought that she might appreciate a more poetic tone, and softened his voice accordingly. Smoother. Go away anxious, juvenile self.
Maybe he'd get her flower today.
