(RNG is psychic! And Claire wanting to do something silly like this would not surprise me. Like... meeting up at a bar and pretending to hook or something, idk.)
Ravi looked at the address on his phone a second time, before swinging his leg over his bike. His ride definitely didn't look out of place here, with the rows of motorcycles on each side. The music throbbed outside of the brick walls, and the lingering aroma of cigarettes and whiskey met him on the breeze. The bar itself didn't give him much pause, but the nature of his arrival did.
This wasn't the bright happy club he'd have expected from Claire. The phone was slid into the inner pocket of his leather jacket as he stepped inside and scanned for a head of blond hair.
Athena really didn't want to be there after the way her last relationship had ended. Now, she was pretty sure most guys cheated and she had decided to stop dating. However, her sister had insisted, saying that Neville was a nice bloke and not like.other guys. So Athena had finally said yes.
walking into the diner they were supposed to.meet in, she stopped and looked about before spotting a man that looked like the picture she'd been shown. With a sigh, she went over to the Booth and smiled.
Neville wasn't entirely sure why he'd agreed to this. He was rubbish with women. Not to mention that it had been months since Luna had broken up with him and he still wasn't entirely over it.
Fiddling with his cup of tea, he startled a bit when she spoke.
"Oh- uh, yes..um, hello." he stood up, holding out an awkward hand, "And you much be Athena?"
Neville seemed like a nice person so Athena decided to push all her bitterness down and enjoy the evening. When he stood, she grinned and shook his hand.
"Yes, I'm Athena. It's quite nice to meet you, Neville," she said.
After releasing his hand, she moved to slide into the Booth. "Sorry if I kept you waiting. The Underground was rather congested with holiday shoppers."
Phoebe knew that her sisters' heart was in the right place and she did need to get back in the saddle again after Cole. She just wasn't sure a blind date was the answer, but it would shut them up and quit their 'looks' so Phoebe had agreed.
As she glanced around the bar, she spotted who she thought was Adam. He at least seemed to have fit the description.
"That's me." She took his extended hand and shook it. "Nice to meet you." Phoebe slid into the open space at the bar, next to him. "So, were you nagged into the blind date, too." Her eyes crinkled with her smile, "not that I'm complaining about my sister's nagging."
At least, Paige and Piper had good taste in setting her up.

And he'd succumbed to it. What could it hurt? Famous last words.
He glanced up when he heard the voice, and smiled at her. Well, this blind date was looking up.
"Yes, Adam Pierson." he held out a hand, "Phoebe, I assume?"
