Her Daddy Gave Her Magic; I Can Tell By the Way She Walks.
Mom's latest line was coming out soon, using some of Nevell's latest highly-specialized fabrics, and Vernique helping out talking to the techs and models for fashion week.

One of the models... now that girl was downright preternatural. Something in her catwalk strut was extra predatory. Beautiful girl, though.

"Not at all. The less said about that part of my life the better. It's not an easy thing to live with and that's why I use Jazz and alcohol to forget about it."

The night New York air was cold, but Greg didn't notice it much. The cold never bothered him much. The heat was a different story.

"I can't begin to imagine what you deal with on a daily basis living with gods, let alone being married to one. Even you need a break from it once in awhile."

	Greg smiled. "Yes, yes it does. So does a good cognac or a port." He smiled more. "Or a twenty year old scotch. I like variety." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Right. Doesn't want to talk about it. Greg could live with that. "I bet. I'm sure you get some good along with the weird and bad, right?" They reached the club and Greg opened the door and held it open for her. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Greg followed her into the club. He nodded to the man standing near the door and the man motioned them to follow. "I don't need enhanced senses to hear the sound of a proud mother," he said. "I saw him from a distance during a visit to see Aridis." Greg smiled. "Do you have any pictures? I'd love to see them." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I plan to teach him subtlety, but that doesn't mean I have to use it about him," she says, laughing appreciatively. Vernique cheerfully pulls her sunglasses out of her pocket. "Of course."

	Greg looked at the pictures while they followed the doorman. "Adorable is a gross understatement," he said when he was done looking at the pictures. They had reached a small table near the stage. A white table cloth covered the small round table and a small oil lamp sat lit in the middle. Greg pulled out a chair for Vernique. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Greg took the chair across from her and ordered a bottle of red wine when the waiter came to their table. "I do. I have a twin brother and a sister. My parents live in LA." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"You always have a best friend right next to you and since we're identical, it was always like looking in a mirror." A pause. "What always bugged me about being a twin is that people would assume that we were both into the same things. Wes liked sports and played baseball and football. Did some track as well. Me, it was music. I love music and learned to play a few instruments. I would have my dad take me to jazz clubs."

	"Nope, only child. I have a kindasortanotreally stepsister, but we didn't really grow up together. So I was Daddy's Little Princess, and Mom's little semi-clone." She grins (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
