There was no gate around the house so they just walked onto the grounds. "She's probably inside." She led him to the entrance of the house before opening the door. "Diana?!" Coal called out as she led Fenix in.

He headed in behind her, though more cautiously then she did.
He took the first few seconds to look around at the inside of the house, sort of scoping it out, seeing what there was.

"In the kitchen!" came a voice. Coal smiled as she heard her friend's voice.
"There you are Dianna," Coal said as she came into the kitchen. "I brought a friend home. I met him in the woods."
"Oh?" She looked him up and down. "You found him?" She had a sharp tone to her voice.

Fenix hesitantly entered into the kitchen, behind Coal. He kept his hand strongly gripped to his pistol holster, as was his natural instinct to any form of potentially dangerous situation: reaching to and holding onto the thing that made him feel most safe.
"Er... hey... I'm Fenix." He said to the other girl who stood in the kitchen, who was quite obviously not happy to have him in her house.

"Right..." she said as she poured herself a class of wine.
"He saved my life," she said with a smile. "There was a rabid wolf in the woods, well it was a werewolf but yeah... It tried to kill me. Also tried to kill him too but it's no longer a problem."
Coal was a little more cheery but she knew the image would stay with her for a while. Dianna seemed to tense for a moment but Coal ignored it.

Fenix looked at the owner of this house, and noticed her tensing up for a moment. He wasn't sure what it meant, but nevertheless, kept his grip on his pistol as tight as before, ready to pull it out at a moment's notice, if need-be.
He wasn't about to talk at all either, unsure as to what to say, and feeling awkward as it was, being in this house, with this owner, who seemed to want him gone.

"It was very not fun," she replied with a small grin. "Anyways, I'm going to go change really quick."
With that she left the two to talk while she changed.
"So... where do you live?" she asked a small amount of distain in her voice.

Fenix, this time, stepped forward, entering the kitchen, though his hand still gripped his pistol tightly.
"I... haven't quite settled in yet." He answered, then began trying to loosen the tension, with a more friendly tone, "just got here really, but I'm moving in not too far away from here actually."

"Really? Not many places out here to live," she said as she poured another glass of wine.

"Well, really, it's not actually a house." he pointed out, "It's an old Radio Tower compound. There's a demountable there, which is perfectly suited for someone such as myself. I don't really spend too long in one place."

"Right..." she looked him up and down. "So you helped each other out in the woods, she trusts you enough to bring you here..." She seemed to contemplate this for a moment. "I really don't get her sometimes. For someone so smart she can be very stupid. Meeting a stranger and bringing her to my home in the same day."

Fenix snickered slightly, in a barely audable tone, "it's perfectly fine, we made it clear to each other that we mean each other absolutely no harm." He smiled, trying to keep the mood at least a little lighter than it seemed in here, especially to ease his uncomfortable feeling, "I explained my circumstances and my reasons for being here, and what my intentions are, and she hers. There's no reason to worry."
Fenix sounded convincing, although a strange feeling in his gut kept his hand tightly gripped to his pistol. The whip he had used previously certainly wasn't something that he was too well adept to, but if there was one thing in the entire world that he knew, with all certainty, he could rely on, it was his weapon of choice. In a moment's notice, he could pull out this thing, aim and fire a bullet at anything that might want to do harm to him, and for some reason, he felt it necessary to keep his hand where it was, just in case such a situation occurred that required it.

She only smiled. It wasn't a comforting smile, it was an akward one, it was almost sinister.
"I've decided I like you," she said. "You go straight to the point."
"Thats good to hear," Coal said as she down the stairs wearing a black tank top with a black skirt and black lipstick to match. "Getting along fine then?" She asked when she came back in the room.
Dianna's demenor changed when she saw Coal enter to a much less threatening stance.

Fenix was doing his best to quiet the odd feelings in his gut, and the voice screaming in his head that something was not quite right here, when he was distracted by the voice that came from behind.
"It seems like we are." Fenix replied cheerily, turning around to face Coal as she decended from the stairs, "didn't happen to bring my jacket down with you, did you?"

"Yep, right here, thanks," She threw it to him when she was close enough. "Talk about anything interesting?" she asked as she reached into the fridge to grab a soda.
"Only the weather," Dianna smiled.
"Sounds like fun," Coal chuckled knowing that they hadn't talked about the weather.
