Sexy found her way to the bar finally, days after having it suggested to her for fun by Haru. She let her hair down for the day, and it fell in a huge mass of curls that she seemed to have tried hard to keep at least a little tame. Karen was the one that helped her in that aspect of life, at least. Slowly but surely she was learning how to function as normally as a time and space vehicle could manage in a human body.

Seeing Roy, she lit up and waved to him as she began to walk towards him. Invitations were still another aspect of social curtsey she had yet to learn. She took a seat nearby, "Hello, Roy! I hear you're taking some time off! That's good to hear! It's never good to work too hard, that's how you get into too much trouble. I've never been here before, do you have any suggestions on what to get?" She never drank before, either.

[thewarisover]

"Hello."

Roy nodded and smiled, and dutifully listened to Sexy's usual chatter with half an ear as he took another sip of his drink.

"If this is your first time, something light might be good."

[iwantmythief]

"Light? Well, what would be considered light? I guess I'll need to find something I like too. As long as it doesn't taste like carrots." She looked around for something that might list options. Some sort of screen, surely?

[thewarisover]

"A cocktail, maybe. Allow me."

The bartender was coming around. Roy waved towards the man, putting on another smile.

"Something for my lady companion, if you will. Light and sweet."

[iwantmythief]

"Oh, I do like sweet, and I think I like being called a companion. I've never been called a companion before." She smiled brightly at Roy, wondering what was coming from the bar.

[thewarisover]

The tall drink that appeared in front of Sexy in the next moment was interesting, in the sense that it went from red, to pink, to orange to yellow, and was topped with a cute little umbrella and pineapple.

"Tequila Sunrise," Roy offered, by way of explanation. "One of my friends from home likes this a lot."

[iwantmythief]

Sexy smiled and clapped her hands together, "Oh, pineapple, and there's no prickly skin parts!" She picked up the glass and peered into it, then sniffed at it and smiled a bit wider. "Oh, I think I like that smell!" Finally she chanced a sip and smiled at Roy. "It's... good! I can see why she likes it!"

[thewarisover]

"I'm glad you do too."

Although, truth be told, Roy had been pretty certain she would. He was good with figuring out what people wanted.

"So, what brings you here?"

[iwantmythief]

It was good too, because if she had been given something she didn't like... well, the carrots had been a mess. There would have likely been several unhappy people.

"I have been looking for things to do when I am not working or training! There are so many things to do, and since I don't have the experience to even know where to start, I'm trying a bunch of things!" Really, this place had really just been next on her mental list of things to try out- either that or she was passing by and it jumped to the top. Not that it really mattered, either way she was going to eventually end up here, and all the better it's with Roy.

[thewarisover]

"That sounds fun. What have you done so far?"

He had to admit: Sexy's enthusiasm was refreshing. He hadn't really felt much else beyond Tired these days, outside of the vacation he was currently enjoying.

[iwantmythief]

Sexy also seemed to have apparent endless energy for all of it too. She almost seemed to alive and full of motion even when she was sitting still.
"Running, basket ball, dancing, reading- I've been doing a lot of reading- starting to learn how to ride a motorcycle, and cooking. I should cook dinner for you some time! I'm getting quite good at it! It's been a week since I even cut my finger, and I haven't burnt anything in two!" It might not sound promising, but she had been cooking almost every meal she ate, and some of the books she was reading were cook books too.

She took another sip from the glass, then set is down and began playing with the little umbrella. "Why is there an umbrella on the drink? I thought they were for protection form rain and sun, but it's paper so it wouldn't serve to protect from rain well, and there's no sun in here. Besides, it's far to small for any person I have met here so far!"

[thewarisover]

He listened to the list, amused at the items on it. He could help her with some of those...

"It's decoration."

[iwantmythief]

She could probably use the help.

"What a charming decoration! So peculiar!" She took another generous sip of the fruity drink, already nearly finished with the glass.

"It's really something, living as a human. Exciting, even, but I wonder if I'll ever get used to it." And there were still quite a few things she had yet to learn about, including what sort of effects the drink in the glass in front of her would have.

[thewarisover]

She probably wanted to slow down a bit... Roy considered telling her as much, but decided to wait and see how things went. If she did end up drunk, he could handle things. It wouldn't be the first time, by far.

"What was it like, living as... well, whatever you were before?"

[iwantmythief]

"A TARDIS," she corrected. Her voice briefly gained a mechanical hint to it as she clarified, "Time And Relative Dimension In Space." She blinked, and her voice once again became normal, "A type 40, actually. Mark I."

She took another sip, thinking for a moment. "It involved a lot of waiting. I was either travelling or waiting. It... it was a little sad, watching all that happens inside of you, but never able to have much impact on it. But I never really felt very sad about it until I was given a human heart. I never realized how much room humans have to feel. I could feel, even inside that big blue box, but I was always a little distant. I might love all the companions My Thief had, and I definitely love My Thief, but I could only ever see a part of their adventures usually," she smiled warmly, looking into the table as if she could see her memories playing out there. "Even the little I got to see used to make me so happy. So... So... Oh, I can't think of the word. But it was exhilarating, and that feeling was the whole reason I

[thewarisover]

Roy listened intently, trying, once again, to imagine how things were for Sexy. he had heard a part of her story before, but it never ceased to fascinate him.

"How did you gain a human form in the first place?"
