[color=bc8dbf]"Your daughter is very cute."[/color]

[color=6ecff6] "Thank you, she's-" [/color]

At Shizuka's mention, Lucille immediately jumped up from her seat and pointed at her father, cutting his sentence off.

[color=f49ac2] "YOU OWE ME A OATMEAL RAISIN COOKIE NOWW!" [/color] she blurted out.

They had gotten used to people thinking they were brother and sister, so every time someone actually got their relationship right, Alban had promised her an oatmeal raisin cookie. Sighing with a smile, he gave a small nod to his daughter while he listened to his waitresses's discuss the various types of coffee available. As she finished, he looked up into her red eyes in thought. At the same time, he noticed she was rather attractive like his daughter had said, which left him lingering a bit too long. Catching himself, he quickly cleared his throat and stared back down at the menu, announcing his order.

[color=6ecff6] "I suppose I will try an espresso shot. Why not, right? She'll have water and a blueberry muffin. And an oatmeal raisin cookie..." [/color]

Suddenly, he leaned over to Shizuka's ear, cupping a hand over his mouth.

[color=6ecff6] "Can you tell her that you're out of cookies? I don't like her eating a lot of sweets." [/color] he whispered to her, retracting before Lucille realized what was going on. 

He hoped she didn't mind the invasion of personal space, but he didn't want his little girl to start throwing a tantrum by denying her the cookie. For a second though, he almost forgot his manners. 

[color=6ecff6] "Oh, and thanks! You've been very helpful!" [/color] he quipped.

Meanwhile, Lucille was face to face with a dark haired man who announced himself as Zack, her personal magician. He then reached behind her ear, revealing a coin in his hand as he pulled away. Her eyes went wide with amazement, a plastered grin on her adorable face.

"May I interest you in some coin tricks?"

The coin disappears, but his sorcery continues, and he brings forth a royal suit of cards from Shizuka's back. The little girl's mouth turns into a giant O as her mind is blown by his tricks.

"Or maybe some card tricks?"

A flick of his wrist, the cards disappear and he holds a wand. A hand behind his back, and suddenly he is wearing a top hat. The girl now has no doubt that this man is truly a wizard of immense power! Her eyes are practically sparkling with delight.

"Or do you have any suggestions?"

She's speechless for a moment, her big blue eyes wandering from his face to the surrounding environment. She catches something in the corner of her eyes: outside a woman was across the street, holding a bag, and talking to another lady. Her finger points outside to the bag.

[color=f49ac2] "I wanna see what's in that bag that lady is holding. Make it appear in here, pwease!" [/color] she joyfully cries, clasping her hands together and putting on the cheesiest of smiles.

Her expression was cute enough to melt glaciers as she waited for Zac to perform his magic.
