Meeting the New Beau

[alisa_lebeau_v3]

Alisa sat at another restaurant. It had been a bit since she saw her father, and already he claimed to have met a charming young man that was perfect for her. Enough that he struck a deal with him for her hand in marriage. The rumor amongst the Guilds was that her dowry had been some incredibly rare, and valuable, Captain America cards from 1944. In mint condition, and misprinted.


Alisa swore that if anyone found out, she;d be the laughing stock of New York City, and New Orleans. This man was a member of Law Enforcement, not a member of one of the Guilds of New Orleans. That was a tiny blessing. But it also meant that it would prevent her form going back to her activities as an Enforcer, and keep her on a very tight leash. Jean Luc was not kidding when he said he wanted her out of trouble.


"Though I am REALLY scared as to how he managed to find someone in Law Enforcement! But then again, he DID have a connection to SHIELD during World War 2. The old man really does have connections everywhere, doesn't he?" Alisa thought to herself, as she began to re-apply her make-up. "Maybe he will have an "accident" on the way to the alter. Or maybe he'll chicken out! God... I hope he chickens out!"

The gift that on Mister LeBeau gave Steve as "dowry" was indeed a damn good and valuable find. Surely the elder man was serious about his daughters interest, at least the way he made it sound to Steve. He sincerely doubted it was an actual dowry, though. Those days were dead and gone. There is no way Jean Luc was serious? He was old fashioned, but he seriously couldn't be that old fashioned.

Right?

Still, he went to the restaurant. He had sent the cards to be evaluated. With Mr LeBeaus...connections, there were all kinds of issues. A large number of legal problems could have come about because of accepting such a gift and it would be a damn good idea to make sure everything was on the up and up. But there was Steve, wearing a suit that was nice but a bit out of fashion, looking rather unsure of himself.

Steakhouse

Alisa managed to get the two a private room in one of the more exclusive Steak houses in the city. It was quite nice and cozy. Her eyes would glace over then menu, then back over to Steve every so often. He appeared to be silent. Either this was steak heaven for him, or he was worried about something.

"Are you alright? Is the menu too much?"
