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.

	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)

	"Oh, plenty. Saved the world a few times --thank you -- The Avengers are great people to work with, and the Defenders, well, I love them. Have a beautiful son. Part human, part sungod, all adorable." she steps in. (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)

	Vernique appreciates this and accepts gracefully. "Thank you. It's true. You have any family, Greg?" (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."

	"No reason to be anything other than honest," Greg said. The waiter returned with two wine glasses and a bottle of 2007 Sassicaia. He opened the bottle a poured a little in a glass. He offered it to Greg to taste, but Greg motioned for Vernique to taste. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	And taste she does. "Mmm. Perfect." She grinned. "Mead's nice and all, it's got nothing on a good red wine for me." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	The waiter poured wine into each glass and then left the bottle on the table. "I've never had mead," Greg admitted. "More of a wine and beer man myself. If you're ever in Seattle you'll have to stop by my bar." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
