Rosalie moved into the booth seat in front of him. She opened the cap of her coffee to add sugar and cream to it, she gazed over at him when he spoke and she smiled and nodded “it’s for you, please go ahead, the burgers here are so yummy” she admitted, she began to stir her coffee before raising it up to her lips and taking a drink before setting it down once more. “I’m Rosalie, it’s a pleasure to meet you” she admitted with a smile before she began to put a bit of ketchup on the side of her fries, she moved one of the fries up to her lips and took a bite enjoying the taste of it and letting out a pleased hum. She reached over to grab the salt and she moved a bit onto her cucumber before moving it into her mouth and eating it, she gazed at the man “do you like salt with cucumbers?” she questioned.

Hollis was still surprised that the meal was for him...but he wasn’t going to question such a good and generous thing, “Thank you...” He sighed quietly, eyeing over the the meal. Since he had come to Adalento, he hadn’t eaten much. He didn’t have an appetite. But looking at the meal before him, his stomach rumbled. As she introduced himself, he smiled warmly and stretched his hand out towards her to shake the hand of the kind woman, “It is truly a pleasure to meet you, Rosalie. I’m Hollis.” Bringing his hand back, he began to snack upon the fries and sighed with content. Oh how he missed french fries. His blue eyes shifted up towards her at her question and he chuckled, “Not really. More of a ranch guy, myself. I’ll eat ranch with just about anything.” He laughed, “It’s my cheat item.” He grinned. Hollis spent a lot of time on his physique but he allowed him a cheat item...and that item was a whole bottle of ranch. Lifting up the burger, he took a generous bite and he almost groaned. She wasn’t lying. It was a great burger. Hollis gave her a thumbs up and slowly chewed. Once he swallowed, he grinned, “You weren’t lying.” He chuckled and grabbed a fry, “How long have you been in the city?”

He chuckled, "I have 13 toes." He joked, when she spoke of a catch. Immediately, Hollis grinned and waved his hand, proving that he was joking. His blue eyes turned towards her when she asked if he wanted to talk and he wasn't sure how to answer... Hollis could use someone to talk with but he wasn't sure if ranting to a mistress was the right choice, "Maybe another day. Let's not ruin our new friendship with my sob story." He smiled, answering her question to be friends, "I could use a friend too."

Maddison might be a little vixen and enjoy sex a bit too much but she was still kind, she always believed she got her compassion from her mother and seeing someone sitting alone at the dinner broke her heart, it even broke it more knowing he was a slave. Maddison smiled and shook the man’s hand before sitting down across from him “Hollis, what a unique name” she honestly admitted “My name is Maddison, not really unique but I’ve been told it fits me” she laughed softly at her words. She got up “oh one sec!” she made her way over to the waitress and asked her for another plate, some napkins and some plain black coffee, he could add the sugars and cream the way he needed it, after paying for the coffee, she walked back over, she set the cup next to him along with a plate “I just got black coffee so you can add what you’d like” she admitted. She used a napkin to move half of the very large sandwich and some of her friends onto his plate not wanting to touch it with her hands because some people didn’t like it.

[ashesxoftheinnocent]

He smiled at her comment about his name and he nodded, "So I've been told. Not many have met a Hollis before." He grinned, "I hope I make a good impression for all the other Hollis' out there for you." As she shook his hand, he immediately shook hers back before bringing it back to him, folding them together, "It really does suit you. They weren't wrong." He commented, nodding. His eyes widened when she suddenly got up and wandered off to get something. The male just sat there, looking around there diner until she returned. Much to his surprise, she came back with a coffee for him, some additivies and a plate. This Maddison sure was kind. He was honestly expecting nothing but cruelty when there so he was glad he was being proven wrong. As she split her sandwich and fries, he just smiled, "Thank you..." He sighed, "Are you sure you want to share this though...?" Hollis asked, looking her over, "It's a lot of food...and I don't think I'll ever be able to repay you..." And from what he thought, it probably wasn't good to be indebt to someone when a slave. His hands, regardless, wrapped around the coffee and he just took in the warmth, not yet drinking it. Not until he was sure.

“So are you telling me you’re insane?” she smiled, “I guess looks do deceive since you look so approachable and stuff,” she smirked, flipping her hair over her shoulder and looking over to him, noting his sigh, “tough night, sugar high?”

[ashesxoftheinnocent]

He smiled, "Quite contrary. I may be the only sane one in this town." Considering he believed slavery was illegal and wanted nothing to do with it, he believed he was correct. He took another sip of his bland tea and looked up to the woman when she questioned him. He couldn't help but chuckle dryly and shrugged his shoulders, "Tough lifetime." He told her. It wasn't like being a slave was going to improve for him. He doubted he would ever free himself or that someone would actually free him.

He came closer and Alexis watched as the man got the sugar she indicated to and brought it to her. Once he set it down, Alexis picked them up and started to empty them into her coffee to give it just another level. She gave a grunt of a response but when he asked about the coffee, she looked up at the slave. “Bland is putting it kindly. I’ve had to really fix it.” Once the sugars were emptied into the drink, she took a sip and smiled at the combination of the sweetness and the slight burn of the alcohol. “Much better.” 

[ashesxoftheinnocent]

His blue eyes watched as she dumped the sugar into the coffee and seemed to enjoy it much more now. The male smiled in the slightest and nodded his head, "I understand." He chuckled and picked up the twenty packets of sugar he dumped into into his tea, "Normally, I wouldn't put this many but it's really just hot water with accent of tea leaf." There was no doubt about that. The male fell silent for a bit before he cleared his throat and spoke, "I'm Hollis. It's nice to meet you." He offered the woman with a friendly smile.

David smiled shyly in a relief and took a seat looking around. “Pretty busy, but I’ve gone on completely ignored.” He huffed, rubbing his eyes and stifling a yawn as he shook his head. “I thought this whole being a slave thing would be easy, but it seems like every person I go to isn’t interested. You have any luck?” The boy wolf asked with a tilt of his head. 

[ashesxoftheinnocent]

His head tilted in confusion when the other spoke, "Isn't that what you want?" Hollis asked. He much preferred to be ignored. Especially in their circumstances. As the other continued, he got that much more confused. He thought being a slave would be easy? Where in history was that ever the case? His brow quirked in the slightest and he shook his head, "No... Thankfully. I don't want to draw any unneeded attention to myself." It was why he took a seat and didn't look around at anyone.

“Not that I was watching you or anything, but in Harry Potter, there’s a professor who puts about that much sugar in her tea….she died.” Carter laughed softly, “just kidding, but she did get arrested for hate crimes..”

[ashesxoftheinnocent]

Hearing a comment about his sugar and his tea, his lips pressed into a thin line and he couldn't help but laugh, "Only an insane person would put this many sugars in their tea so it makes sense, I suppose..." He grinned, chuckling a bit, "I don't think I'll be getting arrested any time soon though. Plus, I think that would be a step up." Hollis sighed lightly, his eyes glancing down his cuffs.

Rosalie enjoyed the Diner, she couldn’t count how many times she had lunch dates and dinners with her daughter here. When her daughter was young, she used to love the fact that the employees were on roller skates but now they had modernized the Diner a bit. Rosalie had been ordering her food when she noticed the man sitting by himself and that’s when she saw it, the articles that marked him a slave, she turned towards the waitress and ordered a second dish. She then made her way over to the man and set down the lunch special, burger, and fries, she then set down a cup of their finest coffee before she set her own food and coffee down across from him, she had ordered a caesar salad with a side of french fries “Hope you do not mind me joining you” she commented with a smile as she sat down.

[ashesxoftheinnocent]

Hollis had never wanted to go home so badly before. He didn’t feel like himself in this city of Adalento. But he supposed that was the point right? He was a slave now. He shouldn’t feel much of anything, huh? If that was the aim of the game, then they were spot on. At the stage of his life, he doubted he would ever see the streets of Boston again. He was going to be stuck in this unknown town until he died. At least that was his understanding. His mind had been wandering about his future for a while until someone approached him, setting down a plate of food before him and a cup of coffee. His blue eyes went wide and he looked up to the woman, unsure what to do...or what to say. She was giving it to him? Seriously? He didn’t think that would happen as a slave...maybe his time there wouldn’t be that atrocious... “No, of course not.” He smiled. Hollis was always a friendly man, no matter the situation, “Is this really for me?” He asked, quirking his brow a bit.

[maddisonxscott-deactivated20160]

Maddison had decided to grab herself some coffee and seeing as how she was closer to the Diner instead of the coffee shop. She decided to just grab a coffee from the Diner, both places made a great cup of coffee. She was on the phone as she walked in but lowered the phone when talking to the waitress not wanting to be rude, once she had her coffee, she took a sip enjoying the taste before she told her friend on the phone that she’d call her later. Since she was at the Diner, she decided to order herself a sandwich seeing as how she had been horrible at eating breakfast lately. She looked around and she noticed the man sitting by himself at the table, she also noticed his cuffs and she made her way over to his table and sat down across from him “Hi, I’m Maddison, sorry to bother you but I was hoping you could help me, see I have a problem, I cannot eat this entire sandwich by myself so I was hoping you’d take half off my hands for me?”

[ashesxoftheinnocent]

Hollis quickly took notice to how little the slaves were paid attention to unless someone wanted something. In the time he had been sitting there, he saw two slaves get ordered to do something for a master, which was just heartbreaking to see. So far, no one had bothered him but that didn’t mean a damn thing. He had cuffs on, therefore he was susceptible to whatever the city wanted. To them, he was nothing more than a speck of dirt on the floor. He wondered if his sister knew this and that was why she turned him into slavery He wondered if it was her plan all along... Hollis was quickly shaken from his thoughts when a voice was directed towards him. His eyes shifted towards theirs and he smiled softly, just out of pleasantry. That was just who he was. Her question was a bit of a shock to him...she was offering him food? Could they do that? Was he allowed to take it? What the guards didn’t know wouldn’t hurt, right? Hollis smiled a bit wider and shrugged his shoulders, “I wouldn’t want you to be left with that problem.” He joked, “I can definitely help with that.” The male stretched his hand out to her and spoke, “I’m Hollis. It’s a pleasure to meet you.”

Celeste needed to get out of the store, get away so that she could finally think without feeling like she was suffocating. Worse of all was the constant battle of two creatures inside of her. Her teeth ground together as she grabbed upon her cup of mocha an the sip already helping calm her nerves. Taking a seat she took a deeper drink, not noticing that she had company till she saw the sugar packet was tossed onto the table before her. Looking at the pile she lifted her gaze up to the man before her, arching a brow. “Finally get it to taste good”?

[ashesxoftheinnocent]

His eyes shifted around the diner as he nursed his bland tea, scoping out the situation. He wondered who was a human and who was a supernatural... And he wondered how different they were from humans. Clearly not much if he had been living amongst them for so long... Hollis' thoughts were shaken when he heard a voice and he turned to look towards them. He chuckled and nodded, "Almost. It still has that terrible leaf flavor...but a sweet leaf now." He joked, "I probably look crazy with all this sugar." Maybe he was...maybe this was all a crazy dream.

            Giselle was a human. Not only that, but a human who still believed that those story book creatures only lived in nightmares and horror flicks. She also was blind to the idea of slavery of any kind existing right before her eyes so when she saw a very handsome face sitting alone at the diner, she wouldn’t have known that he was off limits to commoners such as herself. She slid onto the cherry red bar stool next to his and let a few moments pass by. These moments were frames of her trying to muster up some good ice breaker that didn’t go something like ‘you’re hot’ or ‘I’ll give you twenty bucks if you marry me right now’ because those statements are completely normal to say to a complete stranger— right? She ordered a cup of tea herself. She wasn’t a fan of coffee because the bitter taste didn’t exactly enthuse her, “Careful— I don’t think you want to be jumping off walls by the end of the day.” She gestured to the amount of open sugar packets with a small smile.

[ashesxoftheinnocent]

Hollis was so lost in his own little world that he didn't even notice the person sit down next to him. He was just minding his own business and nursing his still bland tea when they spoke. His crystal blue hues shifted towards her and he smiled as he glanced towards the packets. He probably looked insane with that many sugars in it, "Maybe I'll be too hyped up to notice the taste then." He joked. She was lucky. She got to drink things that had flavor, "My name is Hollis." The male smiled, holding his hand out to her to shake.

[davidreedstuff-deactivated20160]

David looked around looking desperately for a place to sit and relax, when he saw a man who looked just as uncomfortable as him, walking over he gave the older man a timid smile and looked at the seat. “Hi, I’m David, could I sit down?” He asked.

[ashesxoftheinnocent]

Hollis was surprised by how many people were coming into the diner. And how many people ignored him. It was a bit upsetting, really. People wouldn't even look at him in the eye. Being a slave really changed peoples opinion on others, huh? Surprisingly, someone had approached him but immediately noticed he was a slave too. Poor kid. His head nodded, "Hi, David. Please, take a seat." He smiled and pushed the chair out with his feet, "Pretty busy in here today, huh?"

[amabelladufour]

Alexis sat in the corner, her phone in her hand as it buzzed with text message after text message. Her own coffee had some alcohol in it, to spike it and give her some relief from the tension she always felt coiled up. Looking up, she noticed the man in the booth next to her and looked over him. He was a slave. “You.” She called to the man. “I need a few packets of sugar. Get some for me.” 

[ashesxoftheinnocent]

Just watched people come in and out of diner, getting some coffee and ran things to munch on before running out. His lips pressed into a thin line, wishing that he was back in Boston. He already missed it. At least there, he felt like he was home. And, not to mention, he wasn't a slave. His brow quirked when he heard a voice speak to him and his blue eyes turned towards her. She wanted sugar apparently. He simply smiled and nodded his head, grabbing some more packets from his little container on his table and passed them towards her, "Here you go." He spoke, "Is the coffee as bland as the tea?" Hollis asked.

[ashesxoftheinnocent]

Sitting in a diner as a slave certainly wasn't how Hollis expected his life to be...but there he was. All thanks to his sister, someone he thought he trusted. But that was clearly wrong. Not only that, but he was surrounded by things he thought only existed in the movies and books. He was on edge but he had to keep a straight face. They couldn't see him sweat. The male sat with his tea that he dumped about twenty packets of sugar in to give some flavor, as his blue eyes shifted around, taking in everything around.
