[She laughs.]

You haven't met the owner yet.

[diana_abel]

Ah. So we're talking that kind of bartender?

[The best kind, actually. Suddenly, Diana's eyes curiously start to scan the bar again.]

[dontkanyeme]

He is. And he's got some stories that would probably blow your mind.

[She glances back over her shoulder.]

I wonder where he is.

[diana_abel]

I do like having my mind blown.

I take it he's more than just a bartender around here?

[dontkanyeme]

He owns the place. And he's very well respected in the Fae community.

[diana_abel]

[Like a Keeper.

Probably not wise to apply Cainite terminology to the Fae, but she's working without a paddle here.

She's just happy she hasn't been turned into a newt or something. Yet.]

What's his name?

Am I allowed to ask that?

[dontkanyeme]

[She laughs.]

His name is Trick.

[diana_abel]

Trick?

[That's ominous.]

Very...1980s rockstar.

[dontkanyeme]

[Bo snorts a bit at that, before turning and pointing down the bar to the short man talking with a very tall blond man in a leather vest.]

That's him. I don't think 80's rockstar is really his style.

[diana_abel]

[Diana turns to look. And both eyebrows go up sharply.]

I dunno. The leather vest is pretty rocker...

[dontkanyeme]

[She laughs a bit.]

He's the short one.

[diana_abel]

Wow. Oops. Awkward.

[Diana has the good sense to laugh at herself, though.]

Yeah. Maybe a different kind of rocker.

[dontkanyeme]

[The idea of Trick being in a rock band? Still amusing.]

Maybe. Something a little more old school.

[diana_abel]

Simon and Garfunkle. A more laid-back kind of rock.

Folksy, I'd say.

[A pause.]

I put way too much thought into music sometimes. Sorry.

[dontkanyeme]

[She shakes her head.]

It's okay. I think he'd appreciate the compliment.

[diana_abel]

Well, I'm nothing if not a gracious guest.

[She rests her chin in her fingertips, looking at Bo.]

You know, you're stunning.

[dontkanyeme]

[She smiles a bit at that. Even if she hears them all the time, she always loves a good compliment.]

Thank you. You're pretty beautiful yourself.

[diana_abel]

[Oh, she knows.]

Thank you.

[dontkanyeme]

You know. I could snag a bottle of this pretty awesome scotch and we could take this somewhere more ... private.

[a beat.]

Unless you think your ride will be ready soon.

[diana_abel]

[Doesn't matter if she can't drink scotch. Private fun with this woman? Way more interesting than riding with Eddie.]

Yeah?

[There's a lot of promise in the smile she offers Bo.]

[dontkanyeme]

[she tips her head to the side as she reaches down the bar to grab the bottle with one hand, and taking Diana's with the other, giving her a bit of a spin as she lead the way.]

Follow me.

[diana_abel]

[Diana has to stifle her laughter, for fear of drawing too much attention. Even if Bo is a regular, she doesn't imagine stealing hooch is exactly encouraged.

But this is way more fun than she could have anticipated.

So she follows Bo, expertly keeping her tread silent, despite the five inch heels.]

[dontkanyeme]

[Well, it's easier when the bartender is your grandfather.

She leads her into one of the back rooms, and grabs two glasses to start pouring.]

Single or double?

[diana_abel]

Single.

[It would be a shame to waste too much booze. And Diana is a believable lightweight, anyway.

She glances around the room curiously.]

Interesting bar, really.

[dontkanyeme]

[Bo nods as she goes to settle near a set of comfortable chairs, setting the two glasses on a side table and starting to pour.]

Trick's been running it for a while. It's supposed to be neutral ground, between the Dark and the Light.
