The lunch meeting, would begin soon with Barbie and hopefuly the King, would show up and join them. The sleek mustange snaked through, the streets of Rome. Carrying the rodent, back twords the Hookah where he told Barbie he'd like to meet her. It seemed as if any other country or state people, went about their buisness childeren eating, ice cream cones, walking their dogs laughing at each others jokes. Coming around a corner he caught two men and two women talking, they burst into laughter simultaneously like a group does when someone has the right humorous words coupled with precise timing. The mustange came to a complete stop, the door was opened a hand scraped over his jaw, then he rose from the vehicle and walked inside with a suave pull of his jacket to ensure it fell into place. Icey blues, glanced twords the Hookah, taking a step forward as black shiney biker boots tapped against the pavement, this was taking a step forward leave Phoenix behind and all its bullshit find someone worthy of following, someone who would not screw the man over, surving as Bear took a job that he couldn't turn down. He did manage to clean his day full of work, off to meet with Barbie and whoever else arrived for lunch.
This was his world. This was how he lived. Though he knew there was the 'others' out there, just beyond the doors of the Hookah he had little inclination over the past year to search for a Rodere to join with them in any real way. Lately, however, his interest was growing again.He had some time now, perhaps he would use it to find out details about the little bubbled world of Rome. See what the Others were doing, how they fared. Then again, perhaps he just needed a good meal, a stiff bottle of whiskey, and find out what that hot little wolf is up that he had a couple of drinks with in the bar when Bear first arrived in Rome, but maybe he was at the right place to start over the man did seem to be a big cocky son of a bitch, and a hard-ass that seemed to be grumpy but deep down he wouldn't let anyone see who was not close to him, let them even pick at that part that he was after all a big softy.
Pulling open the door, to the Hookah he glanced around to see if they arrived yet. He did not pick up any other scent of a rat, just other lycans laying about doing their daily routes of life. With one good look to his surroundings in the building Bear then took a seat at a table, as painted black finger nails tapped at the tables surface waiting for the others to join him in a little chat over a drink, or some food.

Karma had been curled up on of the benches infront of Brothers oddity reading one of those self help books about how to not be shy...Or something along those lines. She had been keeping away from the house some...That monster in the basement just didnt feel right...And gave her a bigger excuse to not sleep in her bed.So when Barbies text about going over to the hookah and give Bear a heads up that she would be running late came...Karma would jump some forgetting that the damn thing was on vibrate.
Squeaking some she would wrinkle her nose...bear Bear...Who was....OOoo yeahhh bowling alley guy.Getting up she would peek her head in the shop and tell Angel she was off to run a errand for a friend and shed be back in a hour...Karma was off.Hoping that the wolves werent there...She liked them all...But well they scared the bejesus out of her.
Twenty or so minutes later she was walking into the hookah.Black hues searching the smokey darkness for anyone...Spotting Ms Vasha and Charro first.And then under the smells of heavy scented tobacco she found him. Ok Karma you can do this...She told herself but even as she did she could feel the tug of the naked beast within pulling her towards the door.
"stop it"
She would say more to herself then any...Dont run. Our queen wants us to do this...And we will. Looking down she would make for the tabe he sat at. Things where so much easier when one of the rodere or coven had been with her.Lost in her trying to convince herself that it would be ok she didnt see the man pushing out of his seat and standing...So of course here came the crazy red head slamin into him only to be yelled at in what sounded like german but she wasnt sure. Mumbling a sorry..She would slide into the seat across from Bear.
"Hi. Can I see that menu"
Snagging the menu she would hide behind it...As if it hid that bright red hair...But it made her feel safe.
"The...I mean Barbie will be here soon she was tied up looking at some paperwork.."
And here he thought, he was paranoid. The rodent was sitting here, in the booth about to enjoy a cigarette, as his icey blues glanced up the smell of rat filled his nostrals blinking as the cigarette hung between his lips. Bear heard a smell yelling, at someone in german which he was not paying attention fishing out pack of matches from his shirt pocket, and striking a match he lit the end of the cigarette, by shaking out the flame and tossing it into the ash tray.
His attention stayed on the menu, when only a angelic voice sounded in his ears. All Bear heard was Menu and Queen. When it was was jerked from his hands, the man stared at the menu that was covering someones face, and that he could see was a red head behind it.
"Huh"
Bear reached out, as finger tips plucked the menu from Karmas hands, so he could see whom was sitting infront of him. His mind was ticking slowly today as he was not paying attention to what she said, when her face came into his view a smile spread across his lips as the cigarette remained to hang there.
Ink was scribbled on the paper with a flourish. Done. She was finally done with all the papers for the Hookah. Calling Lexie into the office, she would hand over the new orders for food, plates, dishes and all the odd ends that went with running a place like the Midnight Hookah. Pushing back her rolly chair so she could stand. In those seven inch platforms Barbie made walking an art. From head to toe she was dressed in white and pink. Polish on her cute little toes was called bubble gum pink, Milo's favorite shade. Heels were clear with LED lights flashing in the thick platform front, and the long stiletto heel in the back. They flashed when she walked. Long tanned legs were bare, smooth and toned from years of running, dancing and Milo's personal bedroom work outs. Around her hips and thighs was a cute little flared skirt. The top matching pink and white heart shirt that had a nearly opened back.
Sammy lifted her head. A yip of a bark as the little dog stood on it tiny legs. Two steps and the tiny dog was on it's hind legs, front paws padding at Barbie's legs to pick her up. Bending she gathered the tiny dog into her arms. Sambuca Jones was an oreo cookie colored Alaskan Klee Kai. Another yip from the dog. Barbie giggled feeling the moist touch of Sammy's tongue on her cheek. Exiting the office, Sammy in her arms. Barbie made her way through the back, only stopping in the kitchen to kiss Charo on the cheek. She passed Vasha on the way out as well, ordering a drink from the woman.
The smell of hay and the semi-familiar smell of the new rat tickled her nose. Inner gray rat was already darting off to pounce on the naked barn mouse. Black button nose sniffing at the barn mouse while little clawed hands were pulling the female mouse closer in an action that clearly said 'mine'. The stench that came from Barbie was the aroma of New York city's sewers. Not many people liked that foul stench. Her husband loved it. That's all Barbie really cared about. A smile instantly formed on her pink shimmered colored mouth.
"You must be Bear... I'm Barbie Jones."

Bear sat in silances, in the booth with the other female rat infront of him alittle confused, as it was written all over his face. Blinking his attention turnned from her as he grabbed another menu near by. Unfolding the thin book, his eyes glanced over the menu over some food maybe a drink or two. From all the good smell of the food that was being cooked up he figured they had a kitchen, was making his stomach grumble.
The black rodent ran around in circles, keeping its distanced between him and the other female that sat across from him. Standing up on its hine legs, its nose twitched back and forth, sniffing the air smelling that there was another here and it was the queen. Blue eyes peeked over the menu as he heard her high heels click against the floor then before he knew it looked like her and mans best friend came to chat.
Bear quickly stood up from his seat, and stepped aside, well when women were in the room he could be quiet a gentleman, but fuck with his family and friends they'd pay the price. Bear would have acted out with Karma, but she sat down infront of him so quickly and just said two words he was a little stunned, his own beast stood still for a moment then Bear reached and pulled out a chair for Barbie to be seated.
"Your correct, sorry about the other night I left in a rush, had some buisness to attend to." Bear waited for Barbie to be seated, it was just him being nice and even with Leaders yeah Bear would be submissive to them, and not put a fight there was no need to. "Oh and" He opened his jacket, as fingers reached inside the pocket, plucking out a pink switch blade knife. He unlatched the blade and twirled it between his fingers just showing the Queen. Then twirled it around once more putting the latch in place. The blade was silver, with a pink desine and the handle was pink itself.
"I figured you liked pink.. and its not real silver so no worrys" A grin spread across his lips, yeah pink the last time he saw her she was dressed in pink, and he thought she had a pink bowling ball.
Shocking blue eyes peered at the man named Bear. She had to change his name in her mind. Bear was such and odd name. The smile widened at the edges when he pulled out her seat.
"Thank you"
She said tucking her arm under her heart shaped rear to flatten the skirt before sitting down.
"Sit Bear... Is that your real name?"
Barbie needed to know. She would call him whatever his heart desired of course. Free will and all that. Her eyes caught the pink switch blade he pulled from his jacket. Instantly her lips formed a perfect puckered little O of surprise. Manicured fingers slipped along the warm metal, warmed she was sure from his body and the resting place where he had hidden it in his jacket. Sammy was set on the floor by her feet.
"This is very nice."
A giggle followed soon after his comment about her liking pink. She nodded her head, golden blond hair catching the light giving the busty woman a make-shift halo.
"Yes, I love it. Thank you very much."
Her hand reached out to grasp his wrist in a comforting gesture. Only after a little squeeze did she take back her hand to place it on her lap. The knife would remain in her left hand as she turned her attention to Karma.
"This is Carmelita... Bear, Karma."
Back to the man in question.
"You are looking for the Rodere right? Loke had called us at the house."
Bear took his seat once more, when Barbie was seated, he did not mind the small squeeze to his wrist. Which he felt was for comfort Bear was already comftable, there was no reason to show that he was an hard ass or an asshole. Maybe a jerk, bastard, asshole, ect.
"I really don't have a real, name. My birth mother did not write it up on my record, so they just nicknamed be Bear.. Johnson so when I grew of age I just put it on there. All the rats back in Phoenix called me Knight"
Which that was no better, his birth parents did not care. His mother was a druggie and a whore his father was just a sperm doner, he hoped he never let one of those slippery little suckers out, he'd be a god awful father. Bear flashed Karma a friendly smile Bear might looked scary but inside he was a big softy.
"I think we met, for a short moment over mumbled words, but nice to meet you" He sat back in his seat, leaning backwards as the legs left the floor, Bear was one of those kind of people he couldn't sit in one place for to long he always had to move around and be doing something. But keeping his mind on the bigger subject he nodded to her question.
"Well of course, I came to Rome for a reason I reckon.. took me a while to find you guys"
"You have a car right? Or something like it? Come we should head to the Rodere house you can pick out your room. If you want to live there. If not that's fine, still you should know where it is. We shift together every moon."
Bending to grab Sammy into her arms, she rose from her seat. Barbie tucked the switchblade into her purse. The keys to her car in one manicured hand. Heading to the door and then the parking lot. She didn't look behind her to know Karma and Bear would be following. At the house he could meet with Milo.
