Foxy went into the nightlife bar and plopped down on a stool. She ordered an ale and looked around at the gloomy customers.

Virtue walked into the bar, Demos, his servant, following behind him. He sat at a table near a window while Demos went to get his cocktail. He was thinking about his sister and thinking of her made Foxy catch his eye. She stood out in the crowd of uproarious, drunk and violent men, women, and other. He wondered what she was doing in a place like this.
As Demos came back, he stopped at Foxy's table. "If you'd like some company," the half-demon, half-elf began, "my lord offers you a seat at our table." Demos gave Foxy a small bow before continuing on to the table with his prince and giving him his drink before sitting.

Foxy looked to this man and thought about it, sitting at a table with total strangers or basking in her depression alone. "I'd be glad to." she said following ale in hand, her pink furry face showed a small forced smile.

(Must your replies be so short. *smacks back of head* Come on! Put some meat and juicy details into your writing!)
Virtue saw the forced smile and shook his head slowly. "That won't do milady." He told her and looked up at her. "Smile like you mean it or don't smile at all. I'm not asking any favors of you, but, please, sit. I'm not about to ask you to stand all night either."

She laughed a bit, "It's kind of hard to do when you've lost the man you've loved." she said sitting then looking at the man who had offered her the seat. "So who may you be?" she asked curiously then adding with a bit of ego, "I am Foxy."

Virtue gave Foxy a wry smile, quirking an eyebrow. He took a slow drink before answering her. "I have a very long name, but my sister and our servants call me Virtue. I am Crown Prince of the Kingdom Ka'Rin. My sister, Patience, is my heir in the event of my death."

"I see," said Foxy not expecting a life story. "I'm an orphan." she said nodding having nothing else to say. she took a drink of her ale and then looked back to the Prince, or whatever he was, she really didn't care, and was frankly on the verge of being drunk.

"You have my sincerest apologies." Virtue replied softly, watching Foxy. "My parents didn't take care of me or Patience, we were raised by the palace servants. But, if you don't mind me asking, are you drinking for sorrow Foxy? It won't help. You'll just make yourself sick and then the sorrow comes back."

"Yeah, I am. But it will make me forget my sorrow for awhile." she said taking another gulp, "And there is no need to apologize, being an orphan made me tougher, so I cxan take care of myself." she said with a wink.

Virtue tipped his drink to her in salute. "As you say milady, but perhaps you shouldn't be forgetting. Perhaps you should be remembering and looking for a brighter future. There are plenty of other men in the world. You can find love again Foxy."
Coming from someone who refuses to fall in love... Demos said as he took a drink and Virtue gave him a silencing look.

"I don't wish to, love just get's you in trouble." she said looking through her brownish looking liquid. "Everytime I've been in love it's got me tears and then me being drunk." she said with a bit of a laugh.

"That's a bad cycle." Virtue said, setting his drink on the table and then putting his feet up. "Again if you don't mind m asking, what kind of guys do you go for?"

"Any guy, who is good, who will love me. And who will never leave me." she said remembering the guys who had hurt her in the past. All of them had promised her this or that, but none had ever upheld their promises.

A small smile twitched across Virtue's lips. "Poor kit. I'd take care of you, if I could, but I can't. I won't be staying long and I'll be hurting someone very dear to me as it is. But if you'd like a family, I'll adopt you into mine. Patience will take care of you and help with the guys. Would you like to be our sister?" It was a serious offer and Virtue would do it if she accepted.

"Really?!" she asked realizing her excitment, she added, "I would love to." she said happily.

Virtue's smile widened and he chuckled softly. "Yes, I mean it. I think Patience will love you. When would you like to meet her? She's the one who will have to bring you into the family." A darkness settled over Virtue. "There is a... condition that prevents me from doing much anymore."

"What's wrong?" asked Foxy concerned with the health of her new family member. "As for patience, I would be glad to meet her whenever you would like me to do so." No one had eve shown her this much kindness, and she was loving every moment of it.

He grunted and brought his right hand up to his left shoulder. "A rare disease." He said softly. "But I think you can meet Patience when we go home... if she's there. She's been spending quite a bit of time with Prince Jack. Do you have a place to stay? Because you can stay with us if you don't."

"I don't. I have been following someone for many years, and I never accumulated a home or any sort of place to stay. All my money went on tracking him. So once again I am alone, but with your family I don't think I will anymore. I hope at least." she said looking at the table cloth. It felt strange to even think of having a family all her own, when you've been an orphan all your life family is not in your vocabulary.

Virtue chuckled. "No, Patience is good company and she has the habit of trying to take care of everyone. And there's the rest of our family too." Virtue looked disgusted for a moment and then smiled again at Foxy. "I don't think you'll like them and I'm sure they won't like you. My sister and I are estranged from the rest of our family, but our people like us very well. I'm sure they'll like you too."

"I will hope so, your Patience seems very nice, I can't wait to meet her." said Foxy sweetly, as she smiled showing off her white canines. She was so excited and didn't care if the rest of the family didn't like her, as long as Patience and Virtue did. She so wanted to hug Virtue, but was afraid she might hurt him, due to his disease.

Virtue arched a brow at Foxy's teeth and then chuckled. He finished up his drink before standing.
"Demos, get the horses please." The servant bowed before leaving quietly. "You can ride double with me or my servant if you like. It's not far though." Virtue offered her.

"Okay, I think I'll ride with you, if you don't mind of course." said Foxy with a small blush. She had grown to like Virtue very much. She just wanted love, that's all she had ever wanted.

“I don’t mind.” Virtue replied and smiled at Foxy. “Let’s go see if Demos has the horses.”
Virtue then bowed Foxy, holding out his arm for her. He waited for her to take it and watched her with a smile in his eyes.

She curtsied then took his arm. She smiled feeling a love in her heart that she had never experienced before. Why was he so nice to her, a stranger, and orphan? She went along with him, a bit nervous but more anxous(sp?).
