New toy ((OPAL???))

[Seth Mackenzie]

Seth looked around the pet store, only one or two animals catching his eye. He knew he needed a new owl, the old one becoming far too conspicuous and obvious to those watching for clues. But that didnt mean he only needed an owl. His eyes were drawn to the corner to a large water lizard held in the tank, basking in the heat of the lamp. he watched the creature for some time, becoming mesmorised with the slow breathing and occassional flick of the tongue, deciding then and there that he would own it.

"Such beauty." he said to himself as he reached into the cage to touch the lizard, lightly stroking across the taught scales.

[Opal Egeslic]

Opal had finally decided to get rid of the old snake that had belonged to her family for some years... Sly was old and needed to either take a break from the duties he had, or not do any sort of chores for the family again. The thought of asking her aunt to borrow Dawn had occurred to Opal, but it hadn't lasted for more than a minute, the red-haired realizing that her vain aunt would have never lend her pet to her niece.

Thus, the sounds made by her spike heels on the parchment let anyone know, inside of the pet shop, that she was there, eager to buy something. As she darted her black eyes across the shelves, looking at the lizards and snakes that were on an 'exposition', Opal suddenly noticed a familiar face. "Seth Mackenzie..."

A sneer flashed on her full lips, while she spoke his name on a low tone. Yes, it was him, she could tell it was the handsome DE Supporter from his athlete body...

Seth turned at the voice, a smile forming on his lips.

"Why another beauty." He said standing and reaching to take her hand, lifting it to his mouth to kiss it lightly,

"How have you been?" He asked. Opal was indeed a beauty, and one that Seth never failed to enjoy time spending with, the harmless flirting seeming more fruitful than with Amelia.

"Stunning as always," he added a glint in his eye as he winked at her.

[Opal Egeslic]

Opal's sneer grew bigger, as she analyzed his words and moves. Seth, like many other men of his age, was such a flirter, always wishing to charm beautiful ladies... and not only. Yet, Opal didn't think of herself as being beautiful, definitely attractive, sexy and maybe even hot, but not beautiful... Or was it just her paranoia speaking?

"I am fine, thank you very much, Seth. I can see you're a charmer, like always." She said, slowly pulling her hand out of his. She knew those tricks, her father had used them on women for years, even on her, and they didn't work on the Egeslic heir... Yet, she wouldn't have admitted to anyone that there was something about Seth, something that made her actually think of having an affair with him. "Searching for a new pet?" Opal asked, brushing a stripe of red, curly hair backward.

[Seth Mackenzie]

Seth smiled slyly to Opal, his hand moving to his side, a neutral standing, body turned slightly to her,

"I was here for a new owl, but I have become completely enchanted by this stunning animal." He said looking back to the lizard, now in the corner of the tank, lounging on a stray rock,

"I think I must have it." he said as he looked back to Opal,

"You know me, I always get what I want." He added, shooting her a cheeky smile as he raised his eyebrow suggestively. He looked over her body, one he certainly would not complain to be better acquainted with, something he was sure would never happen.

[Opal Egeslic]

((Never say never. ))

Opal's sneer grew even more, while she gave the lizard he had pointed at a second look. Yes, it was magnificent, marvelous, actually, but not what she was looking for. "It is beautiful, indeed. and I do hope you'll get it, Seth." She said, giving him not such a decent glare. Opal had understood what he was also referring to, and, as she placed her right hand on his arm, heading for the counter, a thought occurred to her.

"I am throwing a party, these days, Seth. I'm sure you could spare some time and drop by my manor, won't you?" Her black eyes narrowed on his face, while she placed a sweet and innocent smile on her lips. Seduction... such a fine art, which she always used, even on her closest relatives. And, if that sometimes didn't work, then the other feminin weapons would... Seth was a smart guy, he would have figured out that she wanted his presence there, in case few people showed up.
