The weight of the newly turned Hunter's emerald irises fell upon the lanky woman in front of him, her muttered words prompted a small, dismissive shrug from his shoulders. For a moment, the artist's gaze turned away from her as he lifted his messenger bag from the bench, the man standing in the process. He hoisted the bag to his shoulder where it belonged, his gaze deviating from his task only as her voice attempted, yet again, to apologize. "It's fine," Alistair responded quite simply, hardly anticipating the woman to continue with her friendly efforts. Her introduction, however, was wholly intriguing - the artist left staring at her almost curiously as he contemplated the seemingly young woman's age. With Adrien's vague explanation of his lack of mortality and the seemingly expansive life span before him, Alistair found himself inquisitive if she was named after that 90's hit or if it, in turn, was named after her. His probing inquiry, however, was rewarded with little more than a roll of those chocolate brown eyes, that grimace far more telling that it was clearly a touchy topic.
A soft sound reverberated in the back of his throat though Alistair chose not to chase the topic any further. Rather, the Artist offered his fellow hunter his own name, their hands briefly meeting in a firm shake. Alistair hardly anticipated those well wishes he was offered and yet, with his own blatant inexperience, it was clear he certainly needed luck on his side. Nevertheless, he offered her some vague attempt at a smile, "Thanks." He responded quite simply, that salute prompting an almost bemused raise of his brow, one that was accompanied by a soft snort. Her inquiry of a beer however, was one that Alistair certainly wasn't going to pass up. After all, it surely was a good thing to make acquaintances with others of his kind in the city, wasn't it? "Yeah, okay. Cull and Pistol or...you have another haunt?" He inquired, gesturing loosely towards the direction he knew the bar in question to be and yet, Alistair was hardly opposed to venturing outside of his comfort zone either.
