Rex stiffens a little, not because of Cindy, herself, so much as the fact that his personal bubble has just been breached. His frown twitches, deepening, and he draws away just enough so that they're not nose-to-nose when he turns to face her. His first instinct is to protest with a totally-not-petulant "I'm not a child!"
But he can guess how well that'll go over. So, he forces a smile. "Cocktail waitress, actually, but she's hoping to work her way up." Swallowing back his annoyance like that, attempting to take the teasing in stride? Painful. "And what are you up to?" He nods to some fellows. "Looking to take home a late-night snack?"
And that maturity of his lasted about three seconds. If Rex had any idea that there were actual vampires in Baedal, he would've reconsidered that remark.
