North

Within the Northern vicinity of the city, the wealthy gather behind meticulously trimmed hedges and high-class architecture. The pristine streets are paved with stone and the storefronts are brightly lit and inviting - for the right clientele. In the North, every establishment is eager to cater to the rich and the wealthy. Many such places are used to the sometimes peculiar requests of the otherworldly but here there is little that money cannot buy - whether it happens to be illegal or merely involves looking the other way. Vampires and Dark Hunters are often found upon these Northern streets, their long lives often contributing to their sizable wealth which allows them the luxuries that the North provides.

Swords were her favorite thing. Not because she enjoyed killing with them. But the precision that it involved. The strength and technique you had to have, it is far more enticing. Compared to pulling the trigger of some hand gun, or rifle. A monkey could do that. Guns may be modern, easier, and quicker. But swords, knives, they all had a skill. A skill only certain people would put the time into. A weapon hardly anyone had the patience for. Perhaps her trench coat and vocabulary turned her old fashioned, but it is better than being one of the million girls who point, aim, and shoot in red stilettos and ripped jeans paired with a crop top.

Her eyes roll back from sarcasm. Turning her head in a sideways glance, a slight tilt in her frame, she answers, "I like girls." And even though she knows the truth, she won't let him catch on so quickly. He seemed to enjoy games.

Hazel eyes return to the round melting cubes swirling in her drink. Her wrist slightly rolls so a constant wave disturbs the stillness of her beverage, entertaining herself. Back home bars were smaller, filled with familiar faces and a good time. Here, she is a stranger. A new face. And the city is bigger. It is like being a pet store fish and being released into the ocean.

She isn't a fish though. She likes to think herself a shark.

He continues to speak and Em only catches the last few words. Something about a car and what her excuse was. It takes her a second to realize he means her excuse for drinking, and not driving. "Your that guy who is utterly obsessed with his vehicle, aren't you?" Her disgust is fake, easily interpreted as a tease. She takes a large swig of her drink, the final sip, before setting it back down on a promotional coaster.

"If I have to sit here and listen to the tragic loss of your car Bethanie, you might need to wave me down another drink," she finally looks at him, truly looks at him, resting her elbow on the table and cradling her head in her hand.

He has blue eyes, something Em has envied since she realized she could. Blue eyes were a gift, a mutation not given to most with dark hair, but almost anyone with blonde hair had them. Except her of course. She was gifted with a gold mix of hazel, vibrant and bright, unique sure, but not blue. Not the colour of the sky in the middle of the afternoon or the colour of the Cuban ocean against a black sand beach. They are swirls of wood floors tied in with a golden center around her pupil. And his hair, far darker than hers had ever been. She has more of a platinum colour, with settle lowlights and a blend of cream. He has a dirtier shade, a more masculine tone. And his height, even though she sits, she knows if they were to stand she would hardly reach his shoulders. Being only 5'4, she has a ways to his lips.

Why is she thinking of that.

"I drink leisurely to keep the tolerance up," she smiles then, because although it isn't completely honest, and she is here to meet some faces (what better place than a bar), leisurely drinking is the best way to go. She was never one to drink emotionally, or to fill a void. Only when she lost her brother. But that seemed excusable.
