Emy walked into the little cafe and found herself a seat. She kept her tails to the side as she sat down and ordered some ginseng tea.

Remiel swore, muttingering, under his breath as he darted into the tiny cafe. he flicked his hands, water flying from his finger tips. He was grateful that he left his bag at school, happy that he didn't have anything to grade since the beginning of the new semester. He walked up to the line, waiting for his turn as he rubbed his temples.

Before too long, Emy got her tea, then sat back down, taking a long whiff of it while letting it cool. A dark cloud clearly hung over her head. You wouldn't need to be able to see aura to sense it.

Remiel soon ordered his hot apple cider. He huffed as he sat down in a booth. He winced his hips bothering him again.

[Should we say he sat down in the same booth as Emy?]
Emy sipped at her tea a bit, then put it back down to give it some more time to cool.

[Sure, I guess.} Remiel took out a bottle of vitamins, popping them into his mouth before washing them down hi a gulp f cider.

"Are you all right?" Emy asked. "It looked like you took quite a lot there. That doesn't seem too healthy to me."

"They're just vitamins, the second half of what I need in the day," Remiel said, moving some of his blond hair to the side of his tanned face.

"I see. At least that's all you need," she said, the dark cloud hanging over her head. "What I need, no one can give me."

Remiel nodded, sipping his cider. He had only just met her, he didn't feel that it was his place to ask why.

"You probably don't know the pain of losing someone you love," she said, staring into her tea. "I lost my husband. 9 months ago. He was already an angel once after death and came back as normal. Much as I want it, no one can give him back to me again."

Remiel blinked. Why did everybody have to spill their problems to him? At work from his coworkers or his students, to his sister at home. It just seemed that he couldn't catch a break. He nodded though, sipping his cider. Though he never lost a loved one so close to him, he knew what it was like to be away from his husband for long periods of time.

"I'm sorry. It's just it's been so hard since I've come here. talking about it made me feel a little better."

Remiel nodded. He was used to keeping things bottled up inside him, as most males did. He jumped a bit as his phone rang. "'Cuse me." He stood up and walked toward the door, standing outside as he talked with Alex.

Emy zipped her tea, then ordered some cheesecake. She'd been eating a lot since Goram died and it was showing. She had quite a belly. She'd put on at least 20 pounds since Goram left.

"Alrigh, I'll pick up some milk. Did you call the doctor today and set up the appointment? No...No..There's no change it, Saturday at one is fine." He sipped his cider. "I guess we could bring the girls. Hold on let me get a piece of paper out...Where's my wallet?" He patted around his coat, having left his wallet on the table inside the cafe.

Emy looked over and saw it. "A wallet?" She picked it up and headed out. "Um sir. I believe this is yours."

Remiel blinked. "Thanks," he opened it, looking through it for a piece of paper. A picture of his happily family smiled out from their slot. Remiel and Alex were each holding one of their twin girls.

"These are your daughters? They're beautiful." She smiled for the first time in 9 months. "And your husband looks like a great guy." The way she spoke, she wasn't judging him at all for his choice.

Remiel smiled a bit. "I'll see you soon," he said to Alex before hanging up. "Yeah, I'm lucky to have them."

"You sure are. I have children of my own once, but after I lost my husband, I couldn't care for them. I tried to get help from one of our best friends, but even so I still couldn't. I...had to give them up for adoption." A tear rolled down her cheek.

"That's...that's..." Remiel didn't know what to say. He couldn't even imagine giving up his girls, or the new little one that was on the way. "I'm so sorry."

"Since then, things have only gone downhill. I used to be a sexy 110 pounds. Now, I feel like I'm 200, though that's probably an exageration. I've been afraid to date again, but even if I wanted to, I don't think anyone would want to ask me out."

"Thank you," she said, wiping her tears with a tissue. "I think...I think I'm ready to start dating again. Now if I could just lose the extra weight. I mean look at me. I look like a blimp."

"You look fine," Remiel said, unsure of what else to say. Even he was pretty sensitive about his own appearance sometimes.

"You really think so?" she asked, her ears perking up. "Well, even so, it doesn't change the fact that I'd like to lose this extra weight, but maybe I don't need to make that a priority. Thank you very much for your help. I don't even know your name."

"Remiel, Remiel Deangelo," the blond haired, green eyes man said. He smiled kindly at her. "And you are...?" he asked, pausing.

"My name is Emy. Just Emy. It's quite nice to meet you. I've never met anyone like you, willing to help out a perfect stranger this way."

Remiel smiled. "I can't really help it, it's in my blood," he said with a chuckle. He sipped his cider.
