The Apache is much the same as it always is: dimly lit, with the jukebox playing in the background, and the bartender serving whatever's on tap. Above the doorway and wound through a few of the sets of antlers some enterprising soul has placed a garland decorated with little blue and green fish.

A book? Really?

Well, Kate can't say she's a party animal herself, but even she wouldn't bring a book to a party. She'll mingle, eat, and mingle some more even with people she doesn't know and leave before getting up the nerve to bring a book. She's outside doing just the socializing she planned on doing before she spots Hermione tucked in a corner, text in hand.

She slides in next to the other girl, sneaking a peek at the page and greets her with a laugh. "Geez, Penelope. I knew you were interested in the city, but even the place itself is taking a break today."

For a moment, she doesn't know why she's being addressed as Penelope- and then remembers. Ah. Yes.

There's little reason to keep up that particular charade anymore- she's already dropped it with certain people- but there's a degree of awkwardness in trying to explain that her name isn't really what she said it was.

She smiles up at Kate nonetheless, a little sheepishly, and closes over her book. "Oh, er- I'm taking a break from taking a break, put it that way. Probably not very social, I know. Enjoying the party?"

Surprisingly, Kate would be fine with the name change explanation. She has her own alias to keep secret and she knows people have their reasons. There'll be no judging here. Much, anyway.

Kate nods and slowly takes the book from Hermione's grip, killing any temptation she might get to go back to reading. "It's nice. Not too fancy or stuffy. I would ask the same about you, but I have my answer already."
leviohhhhsa: (Do not. Make. Eyecontact.)

Hermione makes a valiant effort not to twitch as the book's gently tugged away from her, and gives another embarrassed smile. "It isn't that I'm not enjoying myself, really- just that I came out for some air, and- well, I had the book in my bag, so why not?"

Because it's overly solitary and possibly quite rude. She's not stupid; that answer is very much obvious to her when she thinks it out logically.

"Er," she says, moving on, from one uncomfortable topic to the next. "Anyway, Kate, I've...sort of got a confession to make." Best to nip the deceit in the bud, right?

"Why not? Because it's a party and you'll look rude and out of place," Kate replies, gently teasing Hermione. She isn't the type to force a person to party if they don't want to, so all of this is nothing but good natured.

Kate's expression changes from a smirk to curiosity at Hermione's words. A confession? Of what? "What? You have another book in your purse?"
