Urquhart is leaning in the dark corner by the fireplace, watching people while smoking a cigarette.

He's learned that from Ramon Salazar only today, and doesn't yet know that he's likely to attract antagonism for it.

The clementines or 'Christmas oranges' in a bowl nearby, he discovered all by himself.

"I have," Urquhart says. "It is a good place, with many new and interesting things for me to sample."

Like tobacco.

"And the best women."

"Oh yes and the men can be quite fascinating too."

Urquhart gives her a slow grin. "They can," he says.

He is flexible that way. And...

"I try to prove that to the women in turn. I'm one of the men here now, after all."

"I'm sure you do. You seem like the kind of man who likes to be the best."

"Oh yes," Urquhart says. "To the advantage of the women involve, I hope."

He smiles at her.

She gives him a thoughtful look,

"Perhaps you might be able to keep up."

"Do you think the women of Milliways could wear me out?" Urquhart asks, amused.

"I might be able to."

"Would you like to try?" Urquhart grins.

She might be older than he is -- so what? He's been with women who were younger than he is, too.

Demeter is a goddess, age is less of an issue for her.

She stands up and walks over to give him a proper look, "You do keep yourself strong."

Urquhart stands straight, tall, strong, hairy, handsome.

Hoping she likes what she sees.

She does and grins at him,

"As long as you can keep up, dear."

"I'm sure I can," Urquhart says, smiling. "I'm already standing up, aren't I?"

He may be winking at her. He stands six foot five, after all...

What else could he mean?

Her smirk is quite clear that she knows exactly what he means and she grins at him before heading towards the stairs.

He follows, cheerfully, looking forwards to knowing a goddess that way.-
