It's like paradise, spread out with a butter knife :: [OPEN]

Who: EVERYONE
What: Réjean has decided that more people ought to celebrate and help raise a bit of dosh for one of his favourite bars. See: flyer.
Where: The Apache.
When: Misdi night and into the wee hours of the morning.
Warnings: Discussion of Pickman's manky feet.

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. Tonight, the bar is packed with people from all across the city, different cantons and cohorts, all out to celebrate surviving the fungal plague. Patrons are encouraged to buy tickets for a door prize with the proceeds going to repair the damage tunnelling ants made to the cellar.

This gives her a moment's pause; she leaves her hand where it is and casts her eyes thoughtfully toward the ceiling, as if giving him a thorough evaluation. Regretfully, "Well, it's not going to do me much good else. Buy me a drink, Réjean."

Friendship.

"King among men," she declares him, accepting this absurdity with the good grace of someone who would've been disappointed in anything less. Taking vampires seriously is apparently something she's fundamentally unable to do.

"My father warned me about boys like you," is the very prim response to that, which - all things considered - is just a little bit rich. Resting her chin in her hands on the bar, she adds, "Are you going to dance with me?"

Ilde's father was one such gentleman to inspire dire warnings to daughters, which probably partly accounts for why she's temperamentally inclined to find that kind of trouble all by herself regardless of what's said to her.

"I'll be good," she promises, with the sort of wide-eyed ingenuousness that her face was designed for.

"Is that your advice in all things?"

"All of them," as she leans in, so very serious - and that is what she wants to know, all the time. Knowledge; understanding. There's nothing more valuable, she thinks, with the privilege of thought that comes from having never done without before Prometheus.

(Freedom goes hand in hand with it, after all.)

...still, the fact she beeps his nose a moment later is just down to the drink.

Through the alcohol that always hits her harder than she's expecting - she knows, and even so - Ilde focuses on him, her gaze blue-black and wide, like she feels the need to study him for a moment with her own eyes. When she blinks, the glamour was never gone at all.

Her head tilts to the side. "What drives you?"

"That's better," she decides, though what she really means is: that's more interesting. A simple answer to that question wouldn't have been terribly satisfying, even if the one he gives her leaves her with more curiosity than anything else. "Everyone I know lately speaks French at me."

That is an exaggeration.

"Je ne parle pas français, et vous êtes un pauvre con." ...she speaks just enough French, arguably.

After a moment, she says, "I'm from Calais, originally. But I don't speak it very well as I used to." Spitefully and deliberately neglecting a language in favour of others will do that, she's found; Robin said something about teaching her, a while ago.

(Of course the parts she keeps are the ones she can use to be argumentative.)

"No one speaks Italian to me, either," she points out, callously unsympathetic to his broken heart.

Hm.

"I've got two more questions, don't I."

Well, it must be said that that scores him points. (It may not be her native tongue, but it is home in a way that English and French both aren't.)

«What do you make of your kind here?» A beat, and then she adds, as though it just occurred to her, «There's a woman here with my face. I told her to talk to you.»

Here in Baedal, not here at the party...though she might come. Who knows! Ilde hasn't seen her yet. Maybe Katherine will come, she'd like that.

Sinners, aren't we all.

His answer suits her, either way; she adds, guilelessly, "You seem to know how things work around here." She has a knack for that twist of perfectly innocent that she probably shouldn't - someone who can lie that well when she puts her mind to it oughtn't be allowed to.

"What are your other talents?" Is that her third question? Sure.
