She had ordered eye lenses though they hadn't worked as you could still see her black eyes through them, for now she kept her sunglasses on to hide her completely black eyes, though she should be able to order special lenses somewhere. The bigger problem where her talons and wings, thanking anything almighty for not having a beak as that could have been hard to hide.

Her shoes where looking like other regular shoes on the outside however on the inside they where specially ordered to fit her talons and make them easy to walk in. For her wings she could do only one thing, well two if you consider her making holes in her black tank top for the wings to not get stuck, otherwise she have to cover them up with a jacket and press them tight to her own body as to not look like the hunchback from notre dame.

If only she could get rid of her wings without completely loose her flight ability, she would be able to dress a little better, she could follow fashion easier, not that she cared but this she thought was normal to bother about. She had been walking for quite a bit now and when she finally saw the man she think she had been directed too she had forgotten the details about him so she where unsure if it was him.

"Are you Cabel?"

Cabel looked up when he heard his name.

"Yeah, I'm Cabel,"
he said. He had an unlit cigarette hanging from his mouth--it was his calling card of sorts to let people know he was carrying. Cabel had cut down on the amount of guys he had selling for him lately--too much of a risk for people to tamper with his product and ruin his reputation.

He hated it. It meant Cabel was spending more time on the streets and less time in the lab.

"Who's asking?"

Raven walked close to Cabel and introduced herself once he asked "My name.. It is Raven, you know, like the bird" she offered a handshake with the introduction, in her hand she held a folded paper bill, she had folded it to hide it though knowing Cabels profession he was surely to get the idea.

"I heard that if anyone could help me it would be you." Her words where silent though not so silent as to sound suspicious yet not high enough to let others hear her, it would be obvious that she had some roots in the underworld or at least used to have.

Cabel accepted her handshake, and nodded.

”Raven, like the bird, not like the Teen Titans character,” he responded. He stuck his hand in his pocket, depositing the folded cash in there with it. Subtle, smooth. She’d done this before. But not with him, Cabel thought. He’d definitely remember her. He had a knack for names and faces.

”I hope I can help,” Cabel said. He picked himself up off the curb and tucked his cigarette into his pocket. ”Let’s go inside, shall we? It’s often easier to give advice when there’s not an audience.”

Not that there was—Cabel was such a common place outside the Polish restaurant he worked in that he was practically invisible, but it didn’t hurt. He held open the door and waved to the restruant manager, then once she followed, he’d lead her to one of the tables on the empty back patio.

She lifted an eyebrow when Cabel mentioned Teen Titan. Raven was not a fictional character though she did not care to make an argument, this had not been her reason as to why she had come to visit this polish restaurant.

In any case she followed him, noting that he tucked his cigarette into his pocket though she thought nothing of it. She waited until fully inside before looking Cabel in the eyes and agreed "I also hope you can help me" and as she said that she put her hands behind her head, grabbing her jacket and pulling it in front of her.

Showing the wings to someone after all of this was a bit embarrassing and not like at home where her parents underlings or as she saw it, her siblings accepted her for what she was.At first she hid by making her wings hug her but then thought since Cabel is in this business he should be professional so she continued to stretch her black feathered wings for as much as the place allowed without her crashing the place. "I need this gone during the day, you got anything for that?".

She had wings.

Beautiful, amazing wings....and she wanted to hide them during the day. Cabel realized, quite suddenly, that he was standing. He didn't remember getting up from the chair, but he was.

"May i...May I touch them?"[ he asked.

Then, realizing that he sounded like a pervert, he explained. "I can see things the way they are when they're broken down to their smallest parts. It helps to rearrange them later. I can tell you if I'll need to make something new, or of I've got something that can help you now."

Wow. Those wings.

Cabel was secretly jealous because he was so, so human.

Oh, how nice it where to stretch her wings again, she didn't get to do that all to often. Well, she could show herself as she used to do in Memphis but it was her own idea to hide her features, to be in cover, at least for awhile.

"May i...May I touch them?"

She lifted her head to look at where the words came from as well as shooting five feathers at the same direction. Each feather getting closer and closer though the closest landed right next to his shoes. While it wasn't her intention she showed off part of her powers in this act that was akin to when other "normal" woman slaps a pervert. The feathers had acted like throwing knives and although they weren't sharp now they would sit hard in the floor. A pinkish red hue spread across her cheek as she blushed "Ops!" she whispered.

"I can see things the way they are when they're broken down to their smallest parts. It helps to rearrange them later. I can tell you if I'll need to make something new, or of I've got something that can help you now."

Some of the red hue still lingering on her cheeks "Yes, please do, if it helps my cause.", Cabel should know what she meant by cause as she had already told him that she needed to hide her wings during the day.

Cabel actually jumped when the feathers shot in his direction, but he then laughed, because he should have expected a reaction like that.

No matter.

He reached down and picked up the feathers from the floor and set them on the table, running his fingers across them and chewing on the inside of his cheek.

"This will work," Cabel said, examining them for a moment.

Because they were so much a part of her, Cabel would be making pills or potions or something that would have to temporarily alter her being. He wanted to make sure he didn't accidentally change her into a cat or something. That would suck. Cabel had enough of cats.

"I...have you ever heard of glamour?" Cabel asked her. "What the fae use to make themselves look human?"

She wasn't sorry for what she had done, though a bit embarrassed because she wasn't quite sure how to react, not even when she was with her family and open about how she looked did people ask to touch. What if she had asked him if she could touch his fetes, on second thought, no, there are those who like that besides she was just being stupid.

Knowing the current situation she understood what was going on and felt a little silly for not realizing it before.

"Glamour? Really? But that is just in fairy tales..."

Given it a few seconds of thought she found a flaw in her deduction.

"What am I saying, somewhere someone must be thinking the same about me, whatever I am. Alright if it will temporarily make me look human i am sold."

It took her a moment before before realizing it because she personally didn't see any difference between herself and other humans, she was just more. She didn't want to hide her features because she was ashamed of her features but instead to stay underground, not revealing her identity and possible ruin her normal way of life she had stared to build.

"That's what I thought," Cabel admitted. "And then a fairy got drunk and started trying to steal my teeth."

He shuddered at the memory and rubbed his jaw. He was never drinking that much in the mushroom circle in the woods ever again. Fuck that.

"I've been trying to work on something that works like the glamour of the fae," Cabel said. "There's just one problem--I don't have any fae. If you can.....bring me a fairy.....I think I could get something to work out for you."

It's not like he was asking her to kidnap someone, but if she happened to take someone forcibly and that someone happened to be a fairy, Cabel would get what he wanted without actually doing anything illegal, and he'd be able to give Raven here exactly what she wanted.

"Everything else I have might have some side effects," Cabel explained. "Glamour would be external--it'd affect the...whatever...around you to make people see what you want them to see. The pills I have now would be able to do that on a smaller scale, but they'd change you temporarily. You'd probably also sneeze rainbows."
