Who: Keara and Nate
Where: 11th St. Auto
When: 8/21, afternoon
What: Keara's having engine problems.
Rating: tbd.

Well this was just a load a crap. Keara was just leaving her brother's house when the car had started to make a funny whirring sound. A block later and the whirring sound had turned into smoke coming out the vents and two emergency lights blinking. Keara was quick to stop the car and call in a tow truck, but it was a Sunday and her usual shop was closed. If she didn't get it up and started again, she'd be stuck here when she had work in the morning.

The tow truck driver had a suggestion though of an auto body shop that was still open and towed her and the car there. Keara gave her thanks and a tip before hopping out of the truck and walking to the front, smoothing out the black shirt she wore over a pair of shredded faded jean shorts. 'Hello? Anyone around?" She called out, looking into the building as she did.

"That's cool. My dad taught me to shoot a gun. I wish he would've taught me how to fix a car though." Yeah, that didn't sound creepy either. Keara fought the urge to smack her forehead with her hand. " He was a cop."

The smirk made her blush a little but Keara smiled at him."Sounds like you work hard. Must be hard to work all day and then have to go home and make dinner.' Yeah! that was smooth. See, she could do this.

	Nate nodded slightly at that. He didn't know many cops, but Dee has a friend that was one. It wasn't a huge deal to him either way. He rarely interacted with the police one way or the other. It wasn't necessary for him. "I do take out with Dee mostly." Because they had a lot of animals to feed, and he worked long hours. Take out was just easier. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Well he didn't seem freaked out about the cop thing, so that was good. Keara fought the urge to fidget and instead ran a hand through her blue hair and smiled. Maybe this wasn't going nearly as terrible as she thought.

And then the girl's name came out and she almost flinched. "Oh? Dee is your girlfriend?" Well there went that whole hope. Of course a good looking and seemingly mostly normal guy was already taken.

Nate shook his head slightly. "Sister." Also translator, best friend, blood donor, and a number of other things. Clearly this woman was interested, but he could not even think of things like that right now. He was still adjusting to being a vampire, and the last girl he had shown an interest in had been the cause of that. He would shut this down, that would be for the best.

"It's just about time for me to close up. You need anything else?" He had fixed the car. That was his job in all this.

	Sister, that was good. Hopefully that meant that there was no girlfriend around. Of course, that didn't exactly mean that he was interested either. Especially when he apparently was closing up. Deciding to just go for it, she thumbed to the door. "I was wondering if maybe I could take you out for coffee as a thanks for getting my car working again." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	He was being cautious lately, what with his new situation, and so he was not really looking to go anywhere with someone at this point. He shook his head slightly, "I have to get home so we can get dinner." Because he was the one that had and handled the money. Plus he probably should help Dee walk the dogs too.

Keara's face fell a little, but she gave a small nod and smile to him. "Yeah, no worries. I'm sorry to keep you so late. But thank you for helping me out.' She did reach out to grab a pen and wrote her name and number on the back of one of his cards and hand it over to him.

"The offer for coffee is always open though,even if it's completely friendly." Friends were better than nothing.
