A chance to relax

[Ceverus]

Between calming the shadows and mourning the lives lost in the battle, little time had been made to sit back and relax to let the worries go. He opens the door to the tavern that had just been rebuilt and takes a seat at the bar, ordering a glass of the Shade Wine that he had taken to supplying to the mortal realm at bars just like this where there other beings than humans. Taking a long pull from his glass he stares off behind the bar, loosing himself in his thoughts.

[Xiomara]

"This seat taken?" For the past few days she had been avoiding everyone, not because she had something to hide but because they were all in mourning. Needing a change lest she drive herself to tears, yet again; she decided to go out and look around. Wandering always helped her process information. It was at the tavern that she spotted another coven member having a drink and on impulse decided to join him.

Whistling as he walked into the bar he cast vibrant amber eyes about the place, seemed pretty quiet and fresh. Being a new place it still had the scent of a building site which he found to be enjoyable causing him to pause his whistling to take a long breath before resuming his tune.

Booted feet clomped across the floor towards a fruit machine which flashed alluringly in the corner. Rummaging in his pockets for some change he sat down upon a small black stool to play.

[Ceverus]

Ceverus glances towards Xiomara when she pulls a seat up next to him. "By all means. The more the merrier, I say." he says with a light smile. He takes a sip from his wine before turning towards her fully. "I know I've seen you around, however I'm not sure we have met properly. Name's Ceverus Altare." he says extending a hand towards her. His attention is pulled away for a moment when a male enters, one he hadn't ever seen before today. After a moment he looks back towards Xiomara, taking another pull from his glass.

[Xiomara]

"Xiomara Duliese. I have also seen you around." Smiling she shakes his hand, turning as well towards the man that had just entered. A pensive look crossing her features then slowly turning her mouth upwards, feeling the devious nature rising. "You said the more the merrier? Well, let me see if I can lure another one over." Sliding from her seat she pads quietly over towards the man at the machine and clears her throat once she is standing behind his left shoulder. A hand on her hip, head slightly tilted and moss green eyes boring into his back she calls to him. "You need to drink in order to stay in here, so what can I get you, sugar?"

[Deleted]

Taking one glance over his shoulder he grinned returning to what he was looking at. "You do not work here, why oh why would you offer to get me anything?" he asked pressing a few of the numbered buttons before him before pulling a lever. Once he lost the round he spun on the chair leaning his back against the machine to look at the woman before him, glancing around her he looked at the man in which he had heard her speaking to.
"Wait.... are you chatting me up?" he asked playing her at her own game.

[Xiomara]

Xiomara's smile widened and she motioned over her shoulder at Ceverus, who was still having his drink. "Because he said the more the merrier." Moving the hand from her hip she crossed her arms with a raised brow. "Of course I'm chatting you up, you're the only other person in here besides the employees and my companion over there. Does it bother you that a woman takes initiative?"

[Deleted]

He stood up stretching slightly as he did so until he stood comfortable infront of her gazing at her from his vantage point. "Depends just how much a woman takes" he looked past her again to the man "Annnnnnnnnyway if you say having more people will make you both merrier then why not ay, I can even buy you guys a round"

[Vaughan Dimitru]

Vaughan had spent half the day doing absolutely nothing, and whilst Nathaniel had told him it was a blissfull reward he was still bored shitless. After a failed attempt to drag Caine out for a drink he'd given in, deciding as always to do it with style on his own.

Pushing the door of the bar open he wandered in, slowing in pace slightly to observe the scene, his emerald gaze casting a long gaze over the room.

[Adele "Dele" Black]

Slipping into the bar unnoticed, as she gave a quick once over the place, but she really didn’t know anyone or the other three people, but she waved at Ebrebus and gave a friendly smile of a gesture to the woman and two males as she slinked away quickly and appeared at the bar with one hand planted firmly on the counter top “Shots all around and a whiskey on the rocks, please.” She didn’t feel like her normal Bloody Mary that she always gets, she wanted something a little stronger “So, how is everyone? This fine night.” Her energy crackled around her and moved with her overly bubbly and joyous nature.

[Xiomara]

Noticing the woman and Vaughan she smiled at both of them in return before looking back at Erebus. "Well, looks like we have a party going now. Come on." Turning she paused as if something had dawned on her and with that still devious grin she turned to Erebus again. "This woman only takes what men are willing to give, so there's nothing to worry about there. I'm Xiomara by the way." With that she turned away and headed to the bar where she leaned on the counter beside Adele. "I'm restless I don't know about Ceverus over there, or Vaughan." At this point she raised her arm and waved Vaughan over, welcoming despite their last rocky and rather angry encounter.

[Deleted]

"Erebus" he told her his name in return, deciding he was amused by the woman over all. Walking across to Vaughan he clapped him on the shoulder heartily "Burning the candle at both ends, good man" following to the others he nodded to Ceverus in greeting and gave Adele a cheesey grin "Hello Adele let this be less eventful then the last time we met"

[Vaughan Dimitru]

He had stood aside so that the woman may have past, not noticing her by identity but certainly having seen her about at some point. He smiled and nodded to her as she asked how everyone was, about to answer when Erebus laid a hand on his shoulder, diverting his gaze and attention.
"indeed i am, would you ever expect anything less from a Dimitru" he answered him with humour. Looking past Erebus he nodded and gave a short wave to Xiomara. He definitely remembered her since the last time they'd encountered each other he had unceremoniously bitten her head off with arrogance and anger. It didn't make a difference to the current situation however, Vaughan feeling every bit of contentment in his slightly unsobered state.
"Good to see you haven't lost your social side" he murmered stepping over to join Xiomara into the group, gesturing towards the bar where the others sat "Shall we?"

[Xiomara]

Thinking he was speaking to her, she answered light-hearted and with a laugh. "If I lost my social side each time someone bit my head off, well not only would I have lost my nine lives but many possible friends." Since Adele had ordered a round of shots for everyone, Xiomara ordered the next four. "Ceverus is drinking wine." Reaching over she placed a hand on the man's shoulder to get his attention. "Everyone, Ceverus. Ceverus? This is Vaughan, Erebus and... I actually didn't catch her name." She blinked over at Adele.

[Adele "Dele" Black]

Casting a look at Ebrebus and gave a sly twist of a smirk "Nothing wrong with a little trouble " winking before looking at the woman"I'm Adele " taking a simple bow towards the other female and the other two men as introduced herself and than she downed bth shots.
