East

The east side of the city is the very heart of Sacrosanct - it's unique skyline is a clash between modern sky rises and small Victorian-inspired storefronts. In the heart of downtown, the sleek colored glass buildings reign supreme though their old-world roots can be seen in the most peculiar places from the lamp post styled electric street light to the stone sidewalks. The old world architecture slowly returns the further from downtown you travel, however. It's here that magic thrives, it hums in every stone and can be felt in every breath. Often, newcomers to the city may become overwhelmed by such sensations but, eventually, it becomes an ever-present feeling that's hardly noticed.

Nadya didn't bother with things like cream or sugar, the straight exotic tastes of the beans was what she liked about the coffee. But she did motion to the condiments against the wall of the table for Alexis, "If you don't like it at first you can add some creamer or sugar to it." The warmth of the bitter liquid sliding down Nadya's throat calmed the young girl almost as equally as the caffeine setting in, waking her tired body and mind and erasing the nightly frustration and headache that Tobias brought on. Alexis' few words about her pack spoke more meaning than she probably realized, being on the fringe and responsible for catering to the rest of the pack labeled her as Omega in pack ranks. And now here they sat across from each other, outliers on either side in the pack world, alpha blood and omega, mingling and getting along just fine.

She stalled a moment when asked about her own pack, if the rag-tag trio could indeed be even called a pack. They were a complicated mixture with bonds from childhood that were familiar yet foreign, a constant changing of roles between night and day from her brother's in and out presence. Nadya pushed a layered chocolate covered pastry across the table towards Alexis before running her finger absently around the rim of her mug, nibbling on her lip as her chocolate gaze was intent on the black liquid. "Sure, they're nice; it's just my older brother and his friend so I don't think we'd really be called a pack. His friend is a little...odd, but you get used to him I guess." How did you explain a broken person to a stranger? Each one of them had such different upbringings after that fateful night that to try and describe the mixture of joy and confusion at being back together was difficult at best.

"We uh, we grew up together until I was about 5...then uh...my birth pack was actually killed and I was raised by a neighboring one. I don't know where the boys were but we just found each other again. It's a little weird I guess but I'm glad to have my family back." She did miss her adoptive family but she also missed the family she was born into and the memories that now came so easily, her brother and Tobias were all she had left of her childhood pack. Nadya didn't see any harm in sharing such information since it wasn't anything that could be used against her and Alexis was just as alone as she had been right before finding the boys. She raised the coffee mug to her lips again, her gaze shifting to the small crowd in the café, watching and listening the computer geeks type away on their computers, office runners conversing over the phone during their break, and the constant hum and grinding of the machines and the baristas managing them.
