#grace taker

As Grace got closer, the man’s figure and eyes came to be clear. She stops in her tracks and her demeanor shifts completely, she now speaks with anger in her tone : “-What are you doing here?”

The man looks up at Grace and shrugs his shoulders, he sounds as if he expected Grace to be angry at him : “I just came for a cup of coffee. And a chance to talk.”

Grace balls her fists along the tray she is holding as she tries hard to keep her composure.....despite the tray starting to bend in her grip. The ruffle spikes on her fluffy tail makes it clear that he is not welcome here : “You lost that chance years ago. You have no right here. Leave.”

The man sighs as he expected this, he looks at a ring on his finger with amber yellow eyes : “You could at least tell me how my-”

Grace stops the man right there in his vocal tracks as she slams her tray on the table where he is at, the window shake as Grace’s Aura hits them with force : “YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO ASK THAT QUESTION! WHERE WERE YOU WHEN SARAH WAS TORTURED IN HER OWN HOME?! WHERE WERE YOU WHEN SHE WAS LEFT TO DIE IN THAT BURNING BUILDING?!”

Grace fighting back tears of anger, she leans forward to look at him in his eyes : “Where were you during her funeral when Duran needed-”

Catching herself, Grace leans up and gestures to the door, giving him a final warning : “We are closed sir. Please leave.”

The man gets up and grabs his bastard sword, he walks over to the door and stops, not looking back with his amber yellow eyes : “You did a good job raising him.”

Grace doesn’t turn around as she balls her fist : “You stay away from him. You have no rights to him.”

The man walks out into the dark of night, Grace sits at the table to cry in the dark, only catching herself as her daughter Selena walks down hearing the commotion : “Mom? You okay?”

Grace looks up at Selena, wiping a tear off of her face as she gets up and dusts herself off : “I’m alright dear. I’ll be alright.”

========================================

Grace cooks in the kitchen, working on an order : “They are only allowed several breaks to come to the city. So I don’t always get to see them.”

Everyone knows their favorite Diner Girl, Grace Taker.

Well I decided to change her up a bit. So instead of being a Husky Breed, she’s gonna be a Shiba Inu Breed Faunus. Her hair Black and White hair color is gonna be the same as well as her personality.

Grace stands at the doorway with her arms crossed, watching as her adopted son Duran prepares to leave for Beacon: I know you made this decision a long time ago. But are you sure you want to do this?

Duran looks back at the Faunus Husky who had raised him since his mother's passing, packing his bags for the flight: Sure. My mother saved my life at the cause of her own. I need to take a direction in my life to not waste it Grace.

Knowing that she can't stop him from going through with this, Grace decides to at least have an important conversation with Duran: Well no matter what happens, just promise me you'll never change.

Duran looks back at the obviously worried mother figure before him: What do you mean?

Grace lays her ears down as she thinks about the topic she's about to discuss, but as Duran's mother figure and Sarah's friend, she feels the need to bring it up: I knew your father personally as well as your mother did. We couldn't help but notice that as he went on those missions time to time. We don't know what he saw on those missions, but he began to change. Maybe..that is why he never came back. I don't want that to happen to you.

Kira adjusts her glasses and answers calmly: Vanilla Strawberry Custard.

Alice groans in disgust at Kira's taste in ice cream, then looks at you with a playful grin: I'll take a Chocolate Mint Ice Cream Sundae with a Hot Fudge Topping.

Ross bows lazily and responses: Chocolate Chip Vanilla and Toffee Bits.

Duran not looking at the menu: Regular Size Vanilla Concrete Signature Turtle with a Waffle Straw.
