Playing a memory (Day 1 Early Night The Hollow)

[Zanebry Varliss]

His lips curled into a smile. "I thought as much, but you seemed to be concerned earlier so I asked the barman for something lighter."

[Nekoinu]

"Yeah. How thoughtful of you, Sergeant Z," she said with a smirk. "I'm starting to wonder how you could even still be searching. How's a man like you not found a lady to stick with?"

[Zanebry Varliss]

He smirked in return. "I'm sure you could name a few reasons if you have any thought to it My Lord." He replied teasingly.

He took a small sip sip of his drink, before setting it on the bar, and spinning it slowly with the tips of his fingers. "Perhaps it's because I have enough love in my heart for a hundred women, but not enough for just one?

[Nekoinu]

"Or maybe you're afraid to settle down with someone. Or afraid to lose her," she suggested with a small smile.

[Zanebry Varliss]

"Also a possibility." He agreed with a smirk. "Of course that also leaves the chance I've never come across the right woman."

[Nekoinu]

"Maybe you will, maybe you won't. Maybe you already have." She smiled faintly and then took a few, long moments to drink without speaking.

[Zanebry Varliss]

Zane would let the silence linger, not really interested in breaking it, distracting himself by slowly savoring his cocktail, enjoying the subtleties of the flavors.

[Nekoinu]

"You don't want a lady like me in your life," Ralnorrei concluded. She pulled herself out of her chair and kept her chin up. "Thanks for the drink, Zanebry."

[Zanebry Varliss]

"I'll take your word for it My Lord." He replied with a easy smile. He had figured this was how the night would go around half way through their dance.

"And you're welcome, I'll treat you to another any time."

[Nekoinu]

"You're too kind." She gave him another smile and then departed from the premises.

[Zanebry Varliss]

She received a silent wave as she left, Z returning to his drink. Apparently his luck was worst then he thought today.
