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.

So stay with me, don't leave me with the medicine

"I like to keep my options open," Blake grinned, noting the slight slurring of her words. He would usually pass it off as an effect of the alcohol however she was not nearly intoxicated enough (if at all) for that to be the case. Instead, he chalked it up to maybe a slight speech impediment? Or could it be an accent he didn't know how to place? Well, either way, it was a faint enough thing to not warrant too much thought and it would be rude to dwell on it. After all, he just met her - actually, he didn't even have her name yet- and she was willing to entertain his company, it would be terrible to insult her company so early in the evening. Leave that for another time, like never preferably.
Blake hesitated, just briefly, when she spoke up, eyeing her suspiciously as she challenged him to his own drink. Well, that was a first. Now, he wouldn't be a Holmes boy if he turned down a challenge. If there was one thing that ran in his family, from generation to generation, Holmes boy to Holmes boy (girls too), it was the family's love of drink and their willingness to drink themselves into alcoholism. And smoke themselves into early graves. He was trying to stop that part though, the drinking alcoholism thing, not the smoking- well, depended on the day. Today he wasn't trying to stop the smoking bit, or he was. Blake lost track of what promise he made to himself so he would probably light one up later tonight. Yay health! Wow, he certainly got himself distracted from the challenge at hand, didn't he?
Matching her eagerness to finish the drink, clapping his own empty glass on the counter with perhaps a little too much eagerness. The sound was louder than he intended but he ignored it, nudging the empty glass toward the bartender. Hazel eyes met her emerald gaze, his eyebrow lifting slightly in curiosity. He couldn't help but feel like he was being sized up behind her emerald mask, something he wasn't entirely too sure he was comfortable with the idea. Of course, everyone was busy measuring everyone else's worth, but those eyes- her eyes- they were very intense for someone with such a jovial manner.
"I can't refuse an offer like that." He flashed a grin in her direction, adjusting in his seat, as he reached to take one of the drinks placed on the counter in front of her. He had started to lift the glass to his mouth when she gave her name, Blake redirecting the glass to the countertop. "Bethel? Pleasure to meet you," Blake smiled, lifting the glass in her direction, "And thank you for the drink."
Unfortunately for Blake, he specialized in being the awkward person that struggles with conversations and strangers, not the charming fellow that whooshed- or was it whisked?- all the girls off their feet with stories of heroic deeds or hidden wealth. He didn't even have his dashing unshaven face to protect him since he just had to go and shave it all off to look proper or whatever. "Enjoying the party?" Well, when all else fails, refer to small talk to get things moving in a direction other than silence.
