delphinium city was as bustling as ever and he was thankful no one seemed to pay him too much thought as he walked. lately, it's been hit or miss if he would run into any ... fans of his. a part of him has become quite paranoid in the wake of several realizations. he was just happy that cymbeline roberts agreed to talk to him in the first place. he had NOT seen her in years (definitely longer for her than for him) but he did vaguely remember her.
well, vaguely enough to see her at the cafe that was their destination. outside seating would be preferred and laxus was thankful she chose it. the cafe itself was off one of the main streets so it wasn't like as many people would be walking by and indoors could have more listening ears.
without much prompting, laxus sat down across from her — with more grace than one would expect from him. people tend forget he was always in great control of his body. "good afternoon, cymbeline." he started off and tried for something like polite. it only seemed fair. even if he did have a boarish, playboy reputation now. speaking of, "and im sorry ahead of time if people start thinking we're dating. it happens whenever i speak to a woman." it did not have much of a discrimination policy other than gender, though there has been a man or two. it was deeply annoying for laxus and he was sure that was written all over his face. there were a multitude of reasons for this meeting to remain something of a secret. but he did have an excellent lie in place.
