((I'll post with Matt opening the door as soon as it progresses a little in time with the three others. Or at least after another post. ))

Right. So no food then. Becca smiled at Sasha when she appeared at her side, seeming to know that Aiden had suggested her as Becca's breakfast companion. She grabbed another plate down. When Aiden spoke again, she turned around and raised an eyebrow. Three plates then.

After a couple of minutes, Becca had two plates with pancakes, eggs and bacon, and a third plate with all that was leftover, which was quite a lot. Matt always cooked for a hundred people. It would be delicious, too. She poured the orange juice and placed them across the counter where they would be eating.

Becca placed the fullest plate on the floor in front of Sasha, and rounded the bar to set the other two plates down; one in front of Aiden and the other beside his. She took her place next to him. She picked up a piece of bacon and took a bite before glancing over at Aiden to see him take a bite.

She wasn't sure what she was expecting. Would he sink his fangs into the bacon, drain the grease? Ew. Of course not. He would eat like a normal human. "What's it like?" she asked, "Having to deceive everyone all the time?" Did he prefer it that way? Maybe he liked being deceitful.

Becca couldn't imagine having to live such a lie. She figured he probably had to either remain a recluse most of the time, or travel from place to place. It wasn't like he could live out a life in one place. People were bound to notice the man who lived in the woods who never aged. But perhaps, again, he preferred it. Becca wondered what it would be like to have all the time you could imagine to travel the world.
