[There is the clear sound of bar music and chatter in the background. She really doesn't care if it's only early afternoon, after a certain meeting she could do with a drink. She made an arse of herself in front of a Queen. Queen Elizabeth. One of the most incredible women in history

Ma'am?

[didrake]

Alex. Ma'am is...usually kept to my work.

[bladedfeathers]

I didn't know your name.

[So there.]

What's wrong?

[didrake]

I feel like a prized idiot? Besides, wine can be had whether something is wrong or right.

[bladedfeathers]

True. You sounded as though something was wrong. Will the wine help?

[didrake]

It'll help me forget.

[bladedfeathers]

...Why do you want to do that?

[didrake]

Because I feel like a twat.

[bladedfeathers]

Do you want to talk about it, or should I... leave you to your wine?

[didrake]

Oh it's stupid, I wouldn't want to take up your time. But if you fancy a drink you're more than welcome to join me.

[bladedfeathers]

Where are you?

[She hardly needs to ask, but if she does it may be less frightening when she appears. And it's polite.]

[didrake]

[She gives the name of the pub and her location within it] What would you like? I'll have it waiting.

[bladedfeathers]

I'll have what you're having.

[It won't affect her either way.]

I will arrive soon. [By which she means she will stand here for a moment, and then teleport.]

[didrake]

No rush. [she'll just order another bottle]

[bladedfeathers]

[Jo has trouble not rushing now, sometimes. She's careful to pop into the alleyway outside of the pub, out of sight from everyone, she hopes.

She walks into the building normally, and finds her...target?]

I was closer than I thought.

[didrake]

[Alex looks up from her drink then gestures at the seat] I didn't get your name.
