Rylan needed a drink.
That was nothing new. Alcoholics often needed drinks, and luckily for her there were establishments peppered throughout the city to meet such a need. The One Night Stand was a favorite among the many options, if only because it was close to her apartment.
After Belial had had their fun at the bookstore and it’s owner had found something better to do, she had returned home to chain-smoke cigarettes in the window seat. Using the smoldering butt of one cigarette to light another, she watched the sky turn colors as the sun started to set.
The clouds went from pink-orange to purple-blue and she pushed herself away from the window with a huff. She traded the dress she had worn for Jean for black jeans that clung to her legs and a bright blue v-neck tshirt. Rylan decided to keep the bustier because it did wonders for her cleavage and black lace peeked if she moved just right. The shoes matched her shirt because she’d always been a fan of coordination and she removed the sapphire pendant from her collar, leaving a black band of leather with a silver clasp around her neck. Her hair fell across her shoulders in dark waves when she pulled the pins out of it.
Shoving her phone and some cash into her back pocket she walked out into the night. Heels clicked and smoke trailed as she crossed the two blocks between her house and the bar.
Flicking another butt into the gutter, she blew smoke out of the corner of her mouth before pushing open the heavy double doors. It was the usual, dim-lit, smoky scene as it always was. Some kind of weredog biker gang had taken up roost at the bar and she was forced to elbow her way past them to get to the bartender. She ignored whistles and glances, tail snapping to and fro behind her back.
“Blue Label,” she said, over the din, dropping the cash she’d taken from home on the bar. “I’ll take the bottle and a glass.” Ears pushed forward and she rocked her hips as she waited. She grabbed the bottle in one hand and the glass in the other, and didn’t bother looking around the room to check it’s availability before she phased into her favorite booth. Private and tucked away in the corner, it was usually empty.
Except for tonight.
Ears fell, before pushing forward and she paused in surprise. She didn’t recognize the man sitting across for her, seemingly very occupied with his phone. Green eyes flickered across him quickly. He was...very large, was her initial assessment. Blonde hair and a nice nose. He was wearing a bomber jacket she sort of recognized. At the very least she recognized the patches as belonging to the CAF.
This was sort of her booth. Maybe if she seemed pleasant enough they could share and he wouldn't kick her out of it.
“Penny for your thoughts, Lieutenant General?” she asked, screwing the top off the bottle and filling her glass.
