Mauro could feel the power emitting off of Syntyche and backed off when he saw her take the form of a Red Dragon. It wasn't smart to go up against any Dragon, especially Reds or Shifters who could take Dragon forms.

The group of men watched as sweet little Syntyche transformed into a blood red dragon with looks of terror on their faces. Syntyche's clothing merged with her, making darker patches of scales were her clothes were. She was down on her hands and feet, her long scaled tale flicking back and forth angrily.
"So," she growled in a layered voice, embers and smoke coming from her mouth and nose. Her glowing amber eyes narrowed. "you scared yet?"
After the initial shock wore off the men ran away screaming their heads off. One of them was forced to carry the man Syntyche had knocked out and as he ran he screamed 'She's a monster!'. Syntyche blew a torrent of flames after them before transforming back into a human form.
She stood there panting for a moment before dropping to her knees, her skin pale and her eyes tired. "I'm sorry about that..." she said quietly. "I usually don't go off like that."

"Everyone's entitled to be angry, Syntyche. I'd be angry too if I was mistaken for a Red Walker."

"Yeah.." she agreed weakly. She really was regretting getting so angry. Her body ached as she stood on shaky legs. Being half shifter had it's limitations for her and although she was only transformed for a short period of time she still felt extremely tired. "Let's go in shall we? I'll feel much better after a bite to eat."

"Of course." Mauro offered an arm to Syntyche. He saw that her legs were shaking.

"Thank you, Mauro" Syntyche said softly, unintentionally leaning heavily on him.
They walked in and a pretty vampire woman greeted them. "Welcome. Your usual table Mauro?"

Mauro bore Syntyche's weight easily as they walked in. "Yes." He turned to Syntyche. "Don't worry, it's in the non-smoking area."

"Right this way Mauro," the hostess nodded, leading them to a booth in the back of the restaurant.
"Hehe, that's a relief," Syntyche chuckled.
When they were seating they were given a while to look at the menu. There was a lot that was out of Syntyche's price range but there was enough choices for her nonetheless.
"Good evening, I'm Mark and I'll be your server for tonight." said a werewolf said suddenly beside the table.

"Evening, Mark," Mauro returned the greeting. "I'll have water to drink and a..." He looked to the menu. "Bison burger easy on the grease with a small side of fries. And you?" Mauro looked to Syntyche as he folded his menu.

"Ah.. I'll have a coke and the fish n' chips." Syntyche ordered.
"Coming right up." Mark took their orders and there menus and walked off to the kitchen.
There was a moment of silence, Syntyche playing with her napkin. "I um... I hope I'm not holding you up from something Mauro... you seem to be a busy man."

"No, you're not holding me up. This is all merely reputation. My business runs on its own for the most part. Though there are somethings I can tweak out at a later date."

"Well that's good to know I'm not pestering you," Syntyche smiled, her eyes catching the light of the overhead lamp, making them shine like honey again.
Syntyche was going to say something more but at that moment the waiter came back with their food and drinks. As he set them down he caught a glimpse of Syntyche's eyes and nearly spilled her coke.
"Here you are," he said looking intently at Syntyche. "And if there's anything you need please don't hesitate to ask."

Mauro watched Mark stumble when Syntyche's eyes gained their honey color. Mauro didn't miss that change. "Easy there, Mark. Don't be spilling her drink," the Drow spoke.

"Ah, yessir," Mark nodded as he stumbled away, not looking away from Syntyche's eyes until the last moment.
Syntyche only giggled after Mark was out of ear shot. "I keep forgetting," she said with a secret smile. "I have my mother's honey coloured eyes. More than one man has become enthralled with her over those eyes... I can't say the same for myself though, I'm not nearly as enchanting as a pure blood Siren."

"So I've noticed. Is that part of your Siren blood? Or is that part of your Dragon blood?" Mauro took a bite of his burger. After seeing what Syntyche did outside, it would be natural for Mauro to assume that she was a Red Dragon.
