VII // VOICE
[Silence at first. But it's not quite silence, per se---there's the obvious sounds of a crowd, and particularly large one, at that. People talking, glasses tinkling, music; it creates quite a din.

[Seth laughs as well; she pauses for a moment as one young man asks her, "can I buy you something to drink?" and she giggles, nodding and saying, "I'll be with you in a second!" Then, it's back to Lee, all smiles. Someone's having fun.]

Still, that'll be fine---the 15th, then? I'd love to set it up for Valentine's, but I'm afraid I've got plans that day. [That is, busting into this place again. This was just recon.]

Well, the 15th is perfectly fine with me. Did you have any place in mind, or shall I simply surprise you?
