Bennett wanted to say this was neutral ground, but it wasn't. It was more libra's territory, the whole island practically was seeing he'd been living on it so much longer, and yet...

Well. Attempting to approach him over early morning coffee and scones, in a nice cafe, seemed better than the other options. Bennett's showing up wouldn't be a coincidence, but if it wasn't specifically brought up, he'd act casual.

He wasn't sure how to interact, overall, with Nix yet. Bennett had been ready to be cautious with one, if not all, of the zodiacs. Nix was the one, the top threat to him, right now. Otherwise, he'd met some kids and someone who was around his age but... still pretty much fit into the kid category. But Nix was solid, a renowned lawyer, and had a great deal of experience with being a zodiac. He'd gone out of his way to know the last capricorn, and of course there was no reason to be suspicious of Bennett with anything there, but it still had him a bit shaken. It was just more than most people initially had on him, and libra seemed to be the thorough sort.

That was fine. Bennett was the same way, and respected Nix for a lot of the same reasons he was threatened by him. Funny how that worked. Bennett was both here to size the man up, and to possibly enjoy some intelligent company.

If Nix didn't mind Bennett joining him, of course. Time to find out.

Bennett entered the cafe, and turned to approach Nix, taking slow and steady steps. He wasn't in a rush, and didn't want to seem... aggressive. He smiled, and held his hands behind his back.

"Good morning, Mr. Theta. Would you mind if I joined you?"

Nix started the day like he did everyday, by visiting his favorite cafe after a morning flight around the city. He walked in, greeting the barista with a smile.

"Good Morning Nix! The usual?" She asked, waving happily. Nix nodded, his smile brightening.

"Of course Sally, and you look lovely today." The Libra embodiment smiled, paying upfront and dropping a few dollars into the tip jar. The barista laughed, and batted a hand at Nix.

"Oh you old charmer. Your order is going to be where it usually is."

Nix chuckled, and gave a small wave before going to his normal table near the window. A steaming mug of black coffee was sitting next to a newspaper and a chocolate chip scone. He took his seat and picked up the mug, blowing on it softly before taking a sip. He winced at the bitter taste, before smiling. Ah, nothing like a good cup of coffee.

The lawyer took a bite of his scone and unfolded his paper, sipping his coffee as he read. Nothing could ruin his peace.

"Good morning, Mr. Theta. Would you mind if I joined you?"

Well, almost nothing. Nix glanced up at Bennett. He had felt another Sign nearby, but was too engrossed in his coffee to feel them walk up to him. At least it was the one who Nix could stand. Unlike Aries or Virgo. Those two were...grating on his nerves. No tact, unlike Capricorn. Nix gave him a quick once-over, before folding his paper and setting it aside. He took another sip of his coffee, gesturing to the empty seat across from him.

"Good morning, Mr. Kozlov. Take a seat."
