He is perceptive but she is protected(First Branches of the Tree)

Iphisnixii continued to follow Him down the street. While she followed him into a bar she began to notice some things that she passed over when she was just a nameless spirit in the Ether. She noticed the different types of men and women who were in the bar. The cocky and self-righteous, the humble and quiet and all of those in-between. He sat in the far corner of the bar in a booth away from the noise and pulled out a book. She sat down at the bar and watched him with interest. This was her first real time being able to be around him and she was curious to see what type of man he is.

His POV:

Jamming to some **** metal(yes black people listen to **** metal too) he strolled down the street. Today was a easy day, he had one class that day and after hanging with is sister and brothers, visiting his mother's grave and venting with some meditation and time at the gun range: he at last thought *I'm hungry but I don't want to stay inside.* He grabs his headphones. SIG and paddle holster, jams it into his tac pant belt and tosses on his Titans sweatshirt and heads out. He recites the Grey Code and locks up his place then leaves for a nice waltz through the town to his favorite spot. As he is walking and about five minutes before getting to the bar, he feels that someone is following him. Nerves are already frayed he begins to check the windows of passing stores and windshields of vehicles parked in the area. He doesn't see anything but is still on edge so he grips the handle of his SIG as he walks into bar. He checks the mirror as he walks to his regular spot and only sees a younger lady come in behind him. Being paranoid he sits with his back to the wall and having direct sight of all exits. He pulls out his book he picked up the other day and starts to read to calm down. He doesn't realize that the same lady that walked in behind him is watching him very closely.

Iphisnixii POV:

*Wow he is kinda paranoid, I wonder how I was able to avoid his detection?* *I REALIZE THIS IS THE ONE YOU WERE TALKING ABOUT, I HAVE CHOSE TO PROTECT YOU FROM HIS SIGHT UNTIL YOU ARE READY TO APPROACH HIM DIRECTLY. YOU WILL BE ABLE TO FOLLOW HIM IF YOU CHOSE TO AND HE WILL FEEL YOUR PRESENCE HE WILL JUST NOT BE ABLE TO IDENTIFY YOU NOONE WILL UNLESS YOU ALLOW THEM TO.* (Think along the lines of scopaesthesia-the psychic feeling of being watched) Iphisnixii smiles *You are amazing Mother thank you* she thinks to herself and Mother just laughs lovelgly. Iphisnixii resumes her study of the human she is obsessed with. She notices that noone sits with him and he in between reading his books will occasionally glance and scan the room. She closes her eyes and heightens her senses towards him only. She notices how he smells of orange soda and something called CLP(she has no idea until a image pops up of this gun cleaner and lubricant) She smells the plastic spirit bands he has on his wrists and she can hear his heart beat. She noticed how despite his nervousness and paranoia his heartbeat was calm and steady instead of the typical process of someone in that mind state. Iphisnixii was amazed at how He could be so calm but be so wound up. She decided to try something she was only able to do while He was sleeping; Iphisnixii stretched out her mind and attempted to touch his. She shuffled through his memories and was horrified at what she saw: She saw him during his time with the Army and how he had to kill, she saw the **** of his mother, she saw how he was abused by women after women. Iphisnixii wanted to cry but she didn't know what that feeling was called and pushed forward into his mind. Iphisnixii saw his spirituality, his love of people and generosity; she saw his tenacity and unwavering loyalty to those who proved themselves to him. When Iphisnixii withdrew from his mind, she felt like she knew him and for all intents and purposes she did. Iphisnixii longed to touch him, to hold him while he cried his heart out to him. Iphisnixii wanted nothing more than to kiss him and by Mother's grace she was going to do that. Iphisnixii notices the waitress walking pass her on her way to his table and she touches her mind to observe him talking to her.

HIS POV:

Waitress walked up to Him:

Waitress: Hi my name is Rosa, what can I get for you?

Him: Hi my name is Whitney and what are your specials?

Rosa/Iphisnixii : -Names off a bunch of shit-

Whitney: Copy, I want a Chicken Caesar Wrap, 2 Sam Adams and a glass of orange soda.

Rosa/Iphisnixii: Ok, Ill get that started for you. You seem down if I can say, can I ask what is going on.

Whitney: I'm good(default answer), Just had a long day and looking to wind down.

Rosa/Iphisnixii: Well just relax and Ill make sure you are taken care of.

Whitney: I greatly appreciate that, Thank you.

Rosa/Iphisnixii: -Smiles- No problem, -Walks away-

Iphisnixii POV:

Iphisnixii retreats from Rosa's mind and collects herself. She saw what was in Whitney's mind and now she spoke to him and could feel the hurt and pain in his voice. Iphisnixii looked at Whitney again and made her move, but before she did she wondered should she keep her disguise or drop it to meet Whitney?
