"Hmm... I'll take the house special, whatever that may be." Steven said with no small air of confidence.

"Same for me." Reza hurried the waitress along. "Two specials." She repeated and headed off. "Look, we need to talk." Reza told Steven as soon as she left. "I'll send you a message, you'll know what to do." And with that he jumped up and left. When Maverick saw him leaving he got up as well to set after Reza, although it seemed he was in the middle of a conversation with Ryze that had her red in the face and pointing at him. When Maverick left Ryze grabbed a plate and for a moment it looked like she was going to throw it at the big dragon before letting it fall back onto the table. She put her hand over her face, looking down at the table, as she tried to regain control of herself. Seems like Reza was right, the dragons' argument didn't even reach Reza's table over the sound of the singing.

Steven was once again curious about Ryze, but turned his focus to the singing, his attention focused on the table as his mind raced. Between Ryze, Reza, and whatever the special would be, he had a lot on his mind.

The dragon on the stage was still looking towards Steven. Seems she didn't even try to hide her attention on him like he did. "Two specials." The waitress said when she got back and put some fish with an acquired taste in front him and across him where Reza sat. "Some ice tea to enjoy with your meal, compliments of the house." She said putting a beaker of liquid and glasses in the middle.

Suddenly conflicted, he felt he had to make a choice. He wanted to see to Ryze, but figured the person that ordered him a drink might get the wrong idea. And he just ordered two specials... "Thanks." He said to the waitress as he picked up the drink trying to decide between learning more about Ryze or finishing the food and giving her space.

The waitress nodded and left Steven to himself. Another waitress brought Ryze a glass of water that she quickly drank, at least it seemed to help take some of the red in her face away.

Steven breathed a sigh and held up his hand, waving down Ryze and gesturing for her to come over.

Seeing Steven, Ryze quickly checked herself to make sure she looked as if nothing was wrong before heading over to him. "Sorry for keeping you, Sir. You must be anxious to get to your meeting with the senator." She told him when she arrived.

"Well, yeah, but I've found myself in possession of two specials. I don't think I can eat this much, perhaps you could help me out."

"Well, ah..." Ryze answered thinking hard about it. "I suppose we did come here to eat, and I wouldn't be neglecting my duty if I should join you." She finally said and slowly sat down.

"Voonderba." Steven said with a smile and started on his food. It only took 2 bites to realize he didn't find this to be the best, but he tried to force it down anyway. His face gave away his opinion on the dish, though.

A small smile formed at the edge of Ryze's mouth. "The food not agreeing with your pallet, Sir?" She asked smugly, taking a few bites of the fish herself. Her face remained stoic though.

"Naw, I'm good. I think it's just a sour. Or stank." He said, tying for a third bite but not making it, opting for his drink instead.

"I don't mean any offense, Sir. But you're not a very good liar for a diplomat." The smugness lingering as she worked her way through the fish.

"I'd say that's a good thing. Not being a good liar." Steven said, finishing drink with no sign of finishing the special.

"I'd say it's better not to lie at all, Sir. Especially about how terrible this fish tastes." She said after she finished the last bite.

"Fair enough. I don't think I can finish the fish." He said honestly, sliding the dish away, "You said I've got a meeting with the Senator?"

"That's right, Sir." Ryze said standing up, the little casual air she had while they were eating leaving her as well. "Would you like to go now, Sir?"

"I think I will." He said, standing up and adjusting his hat. He looked to the stage as he straightened himself out.

Ryze nodded and led the way out of the restaurant. The dragon on stage still glanced towards Steven, although not as intently as she did before.

Ryze patiently waited for Steven outside, ready to lead him away.

Stepping outside Steven nodded, "Ready when you are." He said, walking along. He pulled out his notebook and jotted down some more notes as they continued on.

Ryze nodded and led the way. The path they took this time were more crowded and there were more dragons staring at Steven. They soon came to a park which Ryze entered and continued through.

Walking through the crowds and park, Steven put his notebook away and took in the environment, the houses, the dragons, the feelings he was feeling as they walked. It was so beautiful here, in stark contrast to home.

Next to the park there was a large building and Ryze led him through the front door. There were a few dragons inside busy with something or other, but none of them commanded the kind of presence like the largest one in the room did. Standing on all fours and pure white, unlike most dragons she had short fur, although the fins on her back and the short scales that looked like wings were still present. She had amber eyes and a tail as long as her body and as thick as her legs. The white dragon was talking to another, smaller dragon, but when she saw Ryze and Steven enter the building she shooed the other dragon away and walked over towards the two.

"Hello, my name is Steven, ambassador for the humans." Steven said official like as he approached the other dragon.

"A pleasure to finally meet you Steven." The large dragon greeted him. "I'm Diana, Senator of Human Relations. I must apologize that I couldn't be there when you arrived, but there was still a lot of arrangements I needed to see to for your arrival and it kept me busy most of the night. I do hope your arrival was a smooth one and that your stay so far has been pleasant."

"It has been very pleasant. Ryze's knowledge of the town has kept things running smoothly from one event to the next." Steven said, pulling out the PDA, "Sebastian informed me I should pass this on to you."

"Yes, I'm looking forward in discussing them with you." Diana answered him without taking the PDA. "I'm just about to head out for lunch and I insist that you join me." She turned towards Ryze. "You must be officer Ryze. I'm extremely pleased to hear that you've been doing such a fine job looking after our guest. Though I'm sure you can spare him for a little while? He'll be safe with me and I'll personally escort him back to his apartment where you can pick him up. Let's say two hours?" Ryze hesitated for a second before replying. "Yes, Ma'am."
