Julianna always noticed how nice he looked. She’d never seen him in anything that wasn’t a perfectly tailored suit. Three pieces, mostly, sometimes with a jacket sometimes without. She wasn’t unused to seeing her patrons dressed up for one thing or another, but she very much liked the way he presented himself. She always wondered where he was coming from looking as good at his did, but she’d yet to have the courage to ask.
She held his gaze, still suppressing her entertainment as he settled and removed the glass from her side of the bar. He took a moment to reply and she was almost certain she had him this time, but the longer he looked at her the more she lost confidence. There was something calculating in his eyes, bluer that evening from the accents on his outfit. It was the same look she saw every night when he once again aced her trivia.
The smile she had been smothering dissolved as he gave her an answer. The right answer. Again, as always. She pushed away from the counter to cross her arms over her chest; there was nothing hostile in the posture. Only playful disappointment. “I was trying to trick you,” she admitted, bottom lip jutting forward. It was short-lived and with a cute laugh, she dropped her arms and shrugged, her smile returning. “I will just have to get you next time,” she warned.
Julianna nodded when he inquired about the liquor. “Correct again.” She turned the bottle so the label was facing him, pushing it across the bar so he could inspect it if he wished. “It’s a twelve-year old single malt from Scotland,” she explained. “It boasts notes of cherry and vanilla and I thought it would be nice to have some more sherry options. I actually haven’t officially started serving it yet. I suppose you’re my taster.”
She risked a glance to the opposite end of the bar to catch Sai frowning at her as he restocked the overhead cabinet with glasses. Wrinkling her nose she looked away from him again.

I fear no fate (for you are my fate, my sweet) I want no world (for beautiful you are my world, my true) and it’s you are whatever a moon has always meant and whatever a sun will always sing is you.
