[Diana scrunches up her nose.]

Apparently, my radar is off tonight.

[She'll just blame that on all the funny looks she's getting from the patrons. Regulars, she assumes. There's something neighborhood-y about the place, despite the kitsch.

Smiling self-effacingly, she gives the brunette a curious once-over. Not unfortunate looking. Not at all.]

Well, I guess I'll forgo the customary falling-out-of-my-blouse if I decide to order.

[dontkanyeme]

[Bo tries but she really can't help herself.]

Please don't stop yourself on his account.

[diana_abel]

[That earns Bo a laugh. Diana smiles, playing with the neckline of her dress.]

Feisty. Somehow, I don't think the routine would do wonders for all the stink-eye I'm getting.

Am I wearing last season's shoes?

[Obviously not. Diana's always on top of fashion. But she doesn't want to outright ask why everyone seems to be glaring at her.]

[dontkanyeme]

[Bo hesitates for a moment, before shaking her head.]

You're just not their usual clientele. They usually cater to someone a bit ... older.

[diana_abel]

Older.

[Diana scans the crowd. Not exactly geriatric. But then again, maybe she's missing something.

Curiosity gets the better of her and she decides to take a peek at some auras and...

...holy shit.]

[dontkanyeme]

Yep. Older.

[Bo's reading her aura too. Not technically for the same thing, but she's learned a bit to know the difference between Fae and human and Diana is ... neither.]

Now, you're not human, but you're not Fae either. It's intriguing. And kind of sexy, actually.

[diana_abel]

[Is it wrong that Diana wants to puff up like an indignant cat? After all, she's been peering at their auras. Seems only fair if someone gets into hers.

But. Still.]

I think sexy transcends race.

[And hold on a second there.]

...Fae?

[dontkanyeme]

I couldn't agree more.

[But she nods.]

A race of uber humans. We're older than humans, but we try to keep a low profile.

[diana_abel]

For people who keep a low profile, you're surprisingly forthcoming about it. Especially given the fact that we don't really know each other.

[Of course, she doesn't mind. Being honest is, frankly, much easier. At least for honest-to-a-fault Diana.]

[dontkanyeme]

[Honesty is good, and Bo's answer to that is two-fold.]

Well, for one thing - you're not human either. Not Fae, but definitely not human. And given the fact that ... pretty much everyone in here is Fae, it's kind of like our safe haven.

[diana_abel]

[Fantastic. Diana starts to mentally kick herself. Serves her right for going into a place that she thought was "interesting" and "had character." She's wandered into the middle of a Fae Elysium.

She doesn't know a lot about the Fae. Only whispers and rumors. None of it terribly good.

At least she's not human.]

I didn't mean to intrude.

[dontkanyeme]

[Bo waves her hand, signaling the bartender to get his attention again.]

You are not intruding. You are here for a drink, this is a bar - you are exactly where you are supposed to be.

[diana_abel]

[Diana raises an eyebrow, offering Bo a crooked, little smile.]

Am I? Like destiny?

[dontkanyeme]

[She shrugs.]

Destiny, perfect timing - call it what you want. I say fortune is smiling. Just ... stay away from the luck fae. Mayer could make that turn around in a flash.

[diana_abel]

I've never had much luck anyway.

[A bit more relaxed, Diana examines her new companion. Very, very beautiful. And surprisingly forthcoming. Then again, maybe she's just spent too much time around Cainites lately.]

So do you have a name, or should I call you Blue?

[dontkanyeme]

[She smiles a bit, before lifting her drink and tipping it in her direction.]

Bo.

[diana_abel]

Bo.

[She was expecting something a bit more exotic. Desdemona. Cobweb.

Tinkerbell?

Bo just seems entirely too incongruous. But then again, the woman seems to be going a bit against the grain of whatever this place is.]

Diana.

[dontkanyeme]

[She's unaligned, and her grandfather is the bartender.]

Nice to meet you, Diana. Welcome to the Dal.

[diana_abel]

The Dal.

[Her eyes flick around, taking in the setting.]

Okay. I'm getting an Irish theme here.

[dontkanyeme]

We've got some Irish roots, so it makes sense.

[She shrugs.]

Trick, the owner, is from Ireland originally. I think.

[diana_abel]

My bestie is Irish. Liam.

[She rests her chin in her palm, watching Bo.]

So. A Fae Irish pub.

What kind of questions do they have on trivia night?

[dontkanyeme]

Trivia night was never really my thing. I'm usually in it for shots and flirting.

[And sometimes more than flirting.]

[diana_abel]

[Sounds like a fun kind of woman. Diana can't help but grin.]

What's your move? I mean, I'm assuming, "I'm a fairy" doesn't really work so well in this crowd.

[dontkanyeme]

No. But "I'm a succubus" usually does the trick.

[diana_abel]

A succubus.

[Wow. Okay then.]

That...that's a good move.
