Seven

"Let's grab a seat, tovarich. They'll bring our food out to us in a couple of minutes."

"And the number you are putting in the holder on the table?"

"That's so they know which table to bring the food to."

"There are only three other people in here right now. They cannot figure that out for themselves?"

"The numbers are more useful during rushes, I'm sure."

"Number 7. Interesting."

"Hmm? What's interesting about 7?"

"The number shows up quite often in different religions. There are seven deadly sins, seven virtues, seven sacraments, seven gifts of the spirit. If one is born the seventh son of a seventh son, they are supposed to possess the power to cure by the laying on of hands."

"Huh - I've heard of the seven deadly sins -"

"And sampled them all."

"Be fair - I try to avoid sloth."

"Granted."

"Why, thank you. But as I was trying to say, I can't say that I've really heard much about those other 7s. Seems like you did research into the number."

"As a matter of fact, I did. Curiosity, I suppose. A gypsy acquaintance was very into numerology and described me as a 7. That started it off."

"Is being called a 7 a compliment or an insult?"

"Like any label, it could be taken either way, but I will currently view 7 as a positive."

"And why is that?"

"Because our food has arrived."

It always comes back to food. Very clever!

Food makes the whole world go round (not love, contrary to popular belief).

I couldn't resist... went to a numerology website and put in IK/DMc's birthday. This is actually shockingly Illya.

It was one line of 7's description that really made me think of Illya - 'intimacy is difficult for you, because you guard your inner world like a mother lion does her cubs.'

But yes, I can certainly see the 6 in there too *nod*
