How she enjoyed the clarity that always seem to come over her behind the polished top of the bar. Mixing drinks and combining ingredients, there was a rhythm and flow to it that left little room for anything else in her mind. Even without the presence of a rowdy crowd this evening it settled some part of her to make those gin and tonics, even though she could still feel Sly's gaze lingering on her figure. It was a good choice of drink she felt sure, especially if he had European roots as she was coming to believe. Some bartenders got caught up in fad drinks and complicated concoctions that customers found on an app, but there was a reason certain drinks were widely known and for so long. There was definite pride on her features as she placed the drinks before him and watched as he raised it to try her creation. Not until she could see the satisfaction on his features did she saunter around to the open seat next to his. Surely she preened a touch under his praise, he was obviously a man well familiar with the drink and would know if it was good. He also did not seem like the type of man to simply say it was good to placate her either, so she took him at his word. Of course she insisted that all the time she obviously spend behind that bar was to thank.

It was his inquiry about playing a game that brought a glimmer of suspicion to her gaze, eyeing her companion thoughtfully at the idea. It seemed harmless enough, the warlock so promising that it would be easy and providing that caveat that those answers could be as simple or detailed as she liked. The idea was intriguing to be sure, knowing that she would then be given the chance to pose her own questions in return was very tempting. In the end of course she agreed, never one to back down from a challenge for any reason she likely would have done so regardless of what game he had proposed to be honest; it was just her nature. Taking another pull from her drink she gave him leave to begin, awaiting those questions with more eagerness than she might have expected to posses.

She smiled as he rested his chin atop his hand in that carefree manner, his answering smile no less charming as his hair flopped with the movement. It was nearly distracting, but thankfully he saw fit to go ahead and relay those questions in rapid succession. They were all rather straightforward at least, and she took only a moment to reply with equal rapidity as he had suggested the game required. She could see intrigue alight in his eyes at some of those replies, which was reinforced by his insinuation that he would leave those answers at the face value she had presented... for now. It made her rather glad for the rules that he had laid out and that those answers were allowed to be so simple and unquestioned. Though she put forth a good bravado as she realized it was now her turn to dole out the questions.

It was almost difficult to decide on questions that could be answered quickly and easily but were also somewhat out of the 'norm' as well. That wink offered just a moment before she posed them to Sly and noted the concentration that seemed to fall over his features as he considered his own answers, though not thinking too hard about them was entirely the point of the endeavor. The movie was one she personally had never seen, though the name sounded familiar it wasn't something in the genre she typically enjoyed. That he was born in Romania was decidedly interesting, and at least put credit to the European roots she had been assuming, though she had no clue what boiled sweets possibly were. She couldn't hold in the giggle at his last answer.

"Definitely sign me up for the lottery winning! But I'm going to break a rule, I need to know what in the world boiled sweets are. I've never heard of them." All she could picture was a soggy, melting Snickers and there was no way that was right.

It only took the blonde the span of sipping his drink to figure out his next set of questions, she raised her own glass to those sweetheart lips as he laid them out as well. These seemed decidedly more difficult than the last for some reason, and just the first had her groaning quietly as she set that glass down once more. "I can only pick one book? That's torture sir!" She twirled a strand of wavy hair around her finger as she considered the many options that sprang to mind. Reading was one of her passions, and there were shelves full back in her apartment. "If I had to pick just one that I always want to reread it would be The Girl of Fire and Thorns trilogy. I probably re read it a couple times a year, and yes maybe 3 books doesn't technically answer the question but I'm sticking to it." She levelled him with a serious look in her hazel eyes before continuing to his other queries.

"A top embarrassing moment hmm... Probably the time I came to work with a pair of underwear hanging out of my pant leg. Somehow I managed to walk all the way here with it hanging on and no one noticed until hours into my shift!" How they had hung on that long she still didn't know. The next answer was easier to come up with, though it felt harder to reveal for some reason which seemed silly. "I'm terrified of thunder. I hate cooked vegetables, I maintain that they are meant to be crunchy! And I once made out with a guy for almost the entire Spaceship Earth ride at EPOCT."

Loathe to give him my time to dwell on those answers, or pry into them more than might be necessary she quickly levelled a finger at him with a mockingly serious look. "My turn again! What is the first thing you notice about someone? Favorite TV series? What would you say is your talent? Do you prefer dogs or cats? And most interesting place you've ever had sex?" The last one felt like it slipped out before she could fully consider it, perhaps a side effect of the fast pace wasn't only the way answers slipped out but those questions too. But it was out there now, and the leopard was nothing if not bold. It was out there now and she was interested to hear all his answers.
