"I believe you. Just the fact that you haven't tried anything affirms that. Now, tell me."

He sighed, noticing how persistent she is. Veronica really wanted to know about his abilities.
"I can transform myself into diamond."
Arqus was carefully studying Veronica's face. He was waiting for her to laugh at him, but she didn't. Soo he continued.
"And I mean, everything, including my hair, I can turn into something hard, similar to a diamond."

"That's amazing!", Veronica replied, clearly impressed. "Can you transform now?"

"Noo-Noo-Noo.." He said, embarrassed. "You can't possibly ask me to do that now. I DEFINITELY wouldn't want to attract attention."
He gave out a light chuckle.

Veronica laughed and raised her glass to Arqus. "Do you promise to show me when the time comes?"

"I will." Arqus flashed her again a smile. " I promise."
He raised his bottle of beer for a toast with Veronica.
"What about you, what can you do?"

"Not a damn thing! However, I can be witty when the occasion calls for it..."

"Wow. That's even more amazing." He Chuckled. "Witty. We need more of that here. I think."
Arqus rested his left elbow on the counter and cupped his chin with his hand, while staring into Veronica's eyes.
"She's gorgeous." He thought. "Too bad, she's with Jonathan...or Johnny...or whoever he is."

Veronica smiled back at Arqus before turning away and asking, "How's your beer doing?"

"Oh." Arqus snapped out of the trance. "It's warm already."
Arqus gave himself a mental kick in the nuts for staring at Veronica for too long. She probably think he's a douche bag for oggling at her.
"But it's okay though." With that he drank his beer until it's empty.

"I dunno." He managed to utter before a hiccup. "I don't really do well with alcohol."
He chuckled again followed by a hiccup.

"Sure." He smiled again.
Abruptly, Arqus stood up to face the bartender.
With lazy eyes he said, "One Coke please." followed by a hiccup.
He looked back at Veronica who was looking up at him. Another hiccup. He smiled like an idiot and then passed out on the bar's floor.

"Woah.", were the first words to come out of Veronica's mouth when Arqus collapsed. Her initial thoughts were "Oh my God", but "Woah came out instead. Veronica was surprised, she never recalled ever saying that word.
Veronica motioned down to him. Poor guy was out...
"Looks I'm gonna have some company while I wait for Johnny...", Veronica murmured.
