Better Looks

"First date...I can deal with that."

Giving a grin and heading inside Scarlet felt at easy being here with Eli. Things the other day had gotten a little strange but non the less she had broken the ice and now they were eating lunch on there first date.

Finally getting her order of broccoli and beef Scarlet started to eat slavering the taste. It had been a while since she last had Chinese but now she was thankful it tasted so good.

Hearing Eli's question Scarlet takes a peace of broccoli with her chop sticks thinking for a moment before answering. Finally looking up and giving a small smile her tone was calm and cool.

"I'm a bounty hunter."

Letting the comment linger and sink in for a moment Scarlet's lips finally turn up into a grin. Not wanting Eli to die to much from shock another chuckle comes out.

"Don't worry, I don't hunt humans. I get payed to find artifacts that belong in museums, or go look into differnt items for places to see if what is said is the truth before they buy the item kind of undercover."

Taking a sip of her water Scarlet lets the cool liquid slide down her throat. It was obvious she was thinking again before she spoke.

"I guess you could say I'm like Tome Raider, except Laura Croft has the better looks."

Looking up at Eli and searching his face Scarlet wondered what he was thinking now. Her job was not one you ran into every day but she liked it and it kept her busy. It took her to different and interesting places as well. At times it was lonely but things were almost moving, and changing and sometimes that was best. But who new maybe sometime Eli could go on an adventure with her.
