It's time for a break, she reckons. The door swings open and she saunters in wearing a casual outfit of jeans and a red blouse with red leather boots.

A cosmo is ordered from the bar, a seat taken at a nearby table and she watches and waits.

Comments

Parker raises both eyebrows. "Hey," he says.

[redhorserider.livejournal.com]

She peers up from beneath her true auburn hair. "Hey yourself."

[misterparker.livejournal.com]

He smiles charmingly. "Buy me a drink?"

[redhorserider.livejournal.com]

"Does that ever work?" She seems slightly amused.

[misterparker.livejournal.com]

Parker grins, "Once or twice." He pauses. "Three times would make it lucky."

[redhorserider.livejournal.com]

"You're not getting lucky tonight." She smiles, pauses. "But I will buy you a drink. What'll ya have?"

[misterparker.livejournal.com]

Parker sits, says, "A kamikaze."

[redhorserider.livejournal.com]

It appears before him; she pays it no mind.

"I like kamikazes." She probably doesn't mean the drink.

[misterparker.livejournal.com]

"They're good drinks. Bad health decisions," he comments.

[redhorserider.livejournal.com]

"Pretty colours," she adds.

A sip of her drink. "Got a name?"

[misterparker.livejournal.com]

Parker grins. "You can call me Parker." He pauses, "Do you have a name?"

[redhorserider.livejournal.com]

"You can call me Red." She grins back; it's dangerous, deadly, perfect.

[misterparker.livejournal.com]

"Red," Parker says agreeably. "Nice fangs."

[War is dressed in red, Delia is in black. Black bodice, black pants, black boots. She doesn't look Gothic, just femme fatale chic. Hair blown-dry into almost curls, eyelids darkened, but the green-eyed look shot from under those heavy lashes doesn't really match the image at all]

[or maybe it does]

What interests in the Trebonds, War?

[she asks at last, her husky voice light and questioning]

[redhorserider.livejournal.com]

"What is to you?" Her tone is bored, uninterested.

[eldorne-girl.livejournal.com]

Curiousity. Possessiveness. Things like that.

[redhorserider.livejournal.com]

"Possessiveness? Over whom? Thom?"

[eldorne-girl.livejournal.com]

Well certainly not Alanna.

[redhorserider.livejournal.com]

"Too manly for you?"

[eldorne-girl.livejournal.com]

[a soft snort]

Hardly.

[redhorserider.livejournal.com]

"Why Thom?"

[eldorne-girl.livejournal.com]

Because

[because I'm allowed to fuck him up, Roger is allowed to Alex Lucifer you're not]

[redhorserider.livejournal.com]

"Wow, what an enlightening answer."

[eldorne-girl.livejournal.com]

Just as enlightening as yours.

[redhorserider.livejournal.com]

"I don't believe I offered one."
