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.

Samantha Cassidy
Samantha had merely been teasing at the cookies, but she couldn't help but smile at the bewildered look that crossed his features as he examined her cookie, then his own. The realization of what his cookie said seemed to dawn on them both at the same time, and she half expected the conversation to turn awkward quickly, but was even more surprised when a grin almost appeared on his features. She raised an eyebrow as he spoke, the same grin appearing on her own face. "Trust me, Aiden, that could definitely be arranged." She gave him a wink before she took another bite of her own cookie, trying not to burst into grins at the thought of his lips on hers.
Where the fae side of Samantha was certainly timid, the human girl that remained was anything but. Samantha knew little about the supernatural world that she now belonged to, and it made her feel certainly like she'd shown up to a party where everyone knew a secret but her. She felt self-conscious in her faerie skin, something that Aiden was helping pull out of her little by little. But where she felt all wrong with supernatural things, she still couldn't deny that part of her was human, and certainly capable of wanting romance. She certainly wasn't scared of wanting any kind of relationship with anyone - him or otherwise - and for the first time she felt that being able to read emotions could only benefit her in this aspect.
She'd been fairly lost in thought when she felt him shift, his emotions turning rather inquisitive. She raised an eyebrow as he set down his treats and leaned forward. For a moment, she half expected him to take her up on that kissing offer - not that she wouldn't be utterly thrilled by that - but instead he threw her entirely off guard by the question that fell off his lips. So, he thought that this was something that was happening to her, not her own emotions. She let a laugh fall off her lips as she nodded, then shook her head. "Yes, but not in the ways that you'd expect." She put her coffee cup down, crossing her legs as she leaned back in the chair. "If there's a lot of emotions, I get headaches and feel a little lightheaded. It's part of why the burlesque is overwhelming for me. But I'm learning to manage it." She gave a firm nod, meeting his gaze. "It doesn't cloud my abilities to think for myself." Samantha leaned forward, resting her elbow on the table as she leaned just inches away from him. "I assure you, Aiden, my actions right now are entirely my own." With that, she hardly hesitated when she leaned forward, closing the distance between them. She put a hand on his shoulder as she pressed her lips against his.
