Thomas Raith Wednesday is always a slow night for the Blue Lady. Sasha isn't preforming tonight, though there is still live music in the form of a few of the cigar girls being allowed to take the stage. A few couples are enjoying a late dinner. Axe is on the door, technically, though he is mostly studying for his L-SATs. Crush stands by the entrance to the VIP lounge and the Managers office... but is scrolling through his phone trying to find forever homes for one of the kittens he cares for. Meanwhile Smash is standing at the bar talking the menu with Thomas for the next week.

The Man In White sighs and shakes his head "Smash, I'm not saying that you can't make some vegetarian options. Hell for willows sake I love you want to put vegetarian options on the menu. But if you keep labeling things like Vegan Lasagna no one is going to buy it."
Trini Kwan     It's been a long time since Trini entered these doors. Sure, she might not be exactly 'dressed' for the place, wearing a black t-shirt with a sabretooth tiger doing a karate kick towards the viewer, denim jeans and black sneakers with yellow trim, but she's here for a purpose. Her hair is held in a low ponytail with a yellow hairtie, and bangs down to her chin that frame her face. Her usually cheery self is... muted tonight. Her face an unusual... blank. She's got a purpose tonight, after all. She thinks she spots... Is that...? It is! Thomas. She starts to head in his direction, saying nothing yet. As she moves, she suckles on her lips, moving a little slower as she gets closer. Perhaps she's nervous about something.
Faith Lehane Faith Lehane hasn't been feeling well since the whole chicken thing, and naturally it meant she was laying low for a few days.

Of course she can't hide forever and especially with her current lack of funding, perhaps she can pick up a shift or two here, despite how that may make her cringe.

But desperate times..either way she lurks in a back corner of the club, hoping no one who recognizes her sees her as she tries to figure out what to do, nursing a strong whiskey soda as she ponders. Her right lower arm is wrapped in a bandage that barely peeks out under her aging denim jacket. At least she is wearing a thick knit cream sweater under her jacket and not the usual thin midriff baring cutoffs she normally prefers.
Thomas Raith Thomas Raith rubs his face slightly, "I'm not saying Vegan is a dirty word... I'm saying most people treat it like it is." He offers the heavily tattoo'd man when Yosa, the bartender just sort of nods in Thomas's direction first, and then in Trini's. For a man with only one eye, Yosa doesn't miss much. Thomas follows the other man's gaze and then smiles warmly, moving to get off his stool and greet the young Asian woman.

Crush likewise see's Trini coming in, and while he is happy to see her he leans closer to Faith saying "Hey Little girl, you should know the ex just walked in. Might wanna wander over there if I was you."
Trini Kwan     Trini sees the smile come to his face, so she starts to smile too and lets out a faint, nervous laugh. "Heh..." She stands before him, eyes fixated on his. Now that she has his attention, she... suddenly doesn't know what to say. "Hey, I--" She stops herself, and there's another nervous laugh and a smile, but that smile fades. She relaxes herself. Why is this so hard, she wonders within her mind? If she were to talk about science or Martial Arts, this would probably be so much easier. She finally just comes out with what she wants to say, "I'm sorry..."
Faith Lehane Faith Lehane arches a brow at the big man and smirks. "Why..do I look desperate? Maybe I'll just chill here a bit, see how this plays out..Might be amusing." she smirks a bit as she takes a swig of her whiskey. "I think you added too much soda.."

She mutters, dark eyes fixed on the pair, but since she's really short on cash lately, she probably couldn't order the straight stuff. And it ain't like she's gonna accept any charity.
Thomas Raith Thomas Raith smiles a bit and walks over giving the younger woman a warm hug. His Hunger (note the Capital H), tingles alive, as always, making the White Courtier's embrace like wrapping in pure comfort. The man shakes his head smirking slightly, "Having to go back to Canada is far from the worst thing a woman I was dating ever has done to me. Come on have a seat." He smiles a bit with a smirk and adds "Can I offer you a Slow Comfortable Screw up against the wall?" Typical Thomas with the drinks with perverted names.
Trini Kwan     Trini is almost caught off guard at first, eyes widening some and then she reciprocates the hug by putting her arms around him and patting him on the back. She draws back from him slowly, enjoying the comfort his embrace provided. "But I--I should've been more... forthcoming I just... left I..." Her words are sort of jumbled, caught off guard again it seems. Her eyes shift, brow raising, "What?" She must realize it's a drink, as she suddenly says, "Oh! Yeah. Sure." She moves to have a seat now at the bar.
Faith Lehane Faith Lehane narrows her eyes as she watches, arching a brow at the overdone introduction - especially towards an ex. Still she stays where she is, taking another long sip of her drink. "Seriously, that line gets old.." she peers at Crush curiously, "So what's the deal with those two anyway? She the one that got away or what?" they sure seem to be on good terms.
Thomas Raith Thomas Raith heads behind the bar, moving to pour the drink himself it seems. One of the man's many talents, though as always Yosa rolls his eye at the invasion of his personal domain. "So how is your Grandmother," he asks pleasently, not wanting to miss the opertunity to catch up with an old friend. Still he adds "Tommy and kimmy were in here a few weeks ago, but they weren't very forthcoming about what you'd been up to."

Crush nods to Faith, pulling out a gold flask that reads "Purr-fectly un-Bear-able" and tops off Faith's drink from it. "They were pretty close. she's got something that let him feed on her like he feeds on you and Blondie. Never was sure what, but it was there. then she had to go back to Canada-land. that's really all I know."
Trini Kwan     Trini watches as the drink is made, seeming to be interested. Perhaps so she can make the drink for herself or her friends one day. She hears the question about her grandmother and shifts her eyes to him, "Oh. She's good, thank you!" A pause as she hears about Tommy and Kim. "I can see why. I'm... I'm really sorry about that." She lowers her eyes to the bar, mind on the moment when she left. "..."
Faith Lehane Faith Lehane positively scowls at Crush, not liking this one bit...Not that she's jealous, Or anything. Definitely not desperate. But..

She chugs down the last of her drink, pulls off her chunky shapeless sweater to reveal a revealing black leather bra top underneath and strides over to the bar, leaning over to catch Thomas by the collar, attempting to pull him in for a long, dramatic kiss to the lips. "Hey there, Tommy, didja miss me?" she smirks, voice a little lighter, more playful than usual. Definitely acting more affectionate than usual too.
Thomas Raith Thomas Raith is not caught off gaurd easily or often... but Faith managed to pull it off rather nicely. The Prince of the White Court actually having to blink and reboot his brain for a moment before smiling just a little bit. "Well hello yourself there Slayer." He says with a slight grin and nods shaking his head to get all the nurons firing again before smiling, "Faith i'd like you to meet an old friend of mine. This is Trini. Trini Qwan this is Faith Lehane, my ... Well my very it's complicated."
Trini Kwan     Trini sees the display of affection brought on by Faith and manages a smile. When she's introduced, she nods her head a bit. "Nice to meet you." She rests her hands on the edge of the bar, eyes turning to Thomas with a curious gaze when he says Faith is his very it's complicated.
Faith Lehane Faith Lehane snorts and rolls her eyes, leaning against the bar, arms folded loosely.

"Seriously not that complicated. I'm the girl he's banging and feeding off of, and occasionally fights alongside. And you're yet another ex of his, of which he seems to have many." she smiles sweetly, although it's not exactly a warm smile.

"Sooo, you said you're all the way from Canada?" she tilts her head. "So what brings you all the way down here?"
Thomas Raith Thomas Raith glances at Trini and says, "It's complicated." as if to counter Faith's rather pragmatic definition of their relationship. He also says "Faith, be nice..." In rather the same way he does when the Dark Slayer is being needlessly antagonistic to a cetain Blonde slayer who will remain nameless at this time. Still as he slide's Trinni her drink, pour's Faith a Johnny walker Black and reaches for his own decanter full of sweet iced tea he asks, "Though I am curious myself, what brings you back to Bludhave Trin?"
Trini Kwan     "Yet another?" Trini questions for a moment. "I travel all over." She states flatly, then answers the question on what brings her back here. She moves to take a sip of her drink before she answers, pausing just before it can touch her lips. "Taking college classes, majoring in physics." She sips at her drink now, watching the the of them from behind the rim of her glass.
Faith Lehane Faith Lehane snatches the drink and chugs it down quickly as if she's really thirsty. "Mmm, that hits the spot, ain't tasted better drinks than the ones Yosa mixes."

She winks at Yosa then smirks at Thomas as she subconsciously scratches her bandaged arm. "What, it's the truth, ain't it? no need to sugar coat things, am I right?"

When Trini mentions college, Faith wrinkles her nose. "Ohhh. I see. sounds...Fun.."
Thomas Raith What's that old expression about flattery will get you everywhere? Yosa just smirks at Faith and yes pours her another drink because of her comment, though not saying anything. Not that he ever does. Thomas comes back around the bar and takes a seat between the two women and smirking at Faith, "Well not everyone gets their jollies by punching fang faces." At Trini's quizzical question he adds "Let's just say Faith has not had the best experiences with at least two of my ex's. But seeing as you are neither her best frienemy, nor an alien princess nymphomaniac I hope we can all be civil." he says with mild amusement as he sips his tea.
Trini Kwan     "It is quite fun. Science... Physics and Martial Arts go hand in hand." Trini comments with a smile, nursing her drink it seems by taking slower and smaller sips. Her eyes shift in Thomas' direction when he moves to take a seat. She listens intently, setting her glass down. It's about a quarter consumed now. "Didn't plan to not be." Her voice is gentle, just loud enough to be picked up over the rest of the noise.
Faith Lehane Faith Lehane stares rather boredly at Trini as she talks of science and physics and shrugs. "Uh huh...We'll I don't like to think when I fight. I trust my instincts." she smirks at Thomas' attempts to smooth things over but doesn't take a seat, finishing off the second drink in record time.

"Actually I needed to talk to you about something but I guess it can wait.." she yawns and stretches, rubbing her arm before reaching for her cozy knit sweater, pulling it back on. "Just need a place to crash for the night."

And even though she more or less lives upstairs full time, Faith still acts like she comes and goes as she pleases.

For a brief moment, her smile towards Thomas is warmer and more heartfelt as she leans over to kiss him shockingly chastely on the cheek this time. "I guess you two have a lot to catch up on huh? I'll talk to you later."
Thomas Raith Thomas Raith smiles, obviously appreciative of his lover's affectionate kiss and nods saying "I'll be up after a while." Then as she departs he turns his focus more fully to Trini. "You know if later I mention she was acting a tiny bit jelious, she'd deny it fully." he says with amusement. He then nods saying, "So you are going back to school, that is great to hear... And I assume you are back to your...side job?"
Trini Kwan     Trini, before she can say a word, sees Faith start to leave after all of that. She then comments, showing that a Sabertooth Tiger does have its claws, "It's obvious she doesn't think. I guess her insticts are what caused her to get those bandages on her arm." She takes her pyrrhic victory, because that's how she feels about acting in such a way, and silences herself with a sip of her drink. She then shakes her head at herself, commenting, "I'm sorry. I shouldn't have said that." She pauses, looking into his eyes slowly and instead of answering that question, she says "Honestly... I did what I came here to do, so... I probably should be leaving now." She slips out of her seat and offers him a smile, but hers is... different, somehow. The look in her eyes mark her true feelings masked by a smile, a sad gaze. "Thanks for the drink."
Thomas Raith Actually she got it fighting some sort of demonic chicken that could turn you to stone just by looking at you." He comments about Faith's wounded arm. He shakes his head and adds, "Nope it makes even less sense when you say it out loud. As she stands he stands too, and assuming she allows him, hugs her again and brushes a soft kiss agienst her own cheek... His Hunger making it feel much more pleasurable then a chaste kiss should... but that is his nature. "Thank you Trini. It meant the world seeing you again.. And don't be a stranger okay?"
Trini Kwan     Trini does accept the hug, not seeming to react about the demonic chicken statement. She's fought plenty of things to try and keep the entire world safe herself. When the kiss happens though, she turns her head away and puts a hand up, "That's... Let's not do that... It's inappropriate." She comments. She doesn't... seem to answer about being a stranger, other than to say, "You take care of yourself."
Thomas Raith Thomas Raith smiles, rebuffed but nods. He doesn't add anything, just letting her walk out of his bar one more time...
