Libra had heard about the little issue they were having in DauphinMare, and while she avowed to be cautious, she wasn't going to stop what she was doing just for that sake.
She moved cautiously across the grass, watching where she was going, but watching her surroundings as well. She could where a path had been worn into the grass from the dorms to the shops, and she wondered if anyone was ever going to turn that into an actual path ... or if it would simply continue to be worn there.
Shrugging to her thoughts, she smiled as the business district came into sight. She did offer a nod to the male passing her in the other direction, though she did pause for a second, closer look.
Lestat's idle internal musings were interrupted by the arrival of a young lady who seemed mildly interested in him. And really, why shouldn't she be? He was the vampire Lestat, interesting to all. A smile curved full lips as he returned her nod.
"Good afternoon, milady," he offered graciously, a hand reaching to catch hers and bring it to his lips in an overly dramatic yet somehow all too Lestat fashion before releasing it again, golden eyes meeting hers evenly, not bothering to suppress any of his preternatural charms, as they were.
He had no reason to think she might not be charmed by him. Everyone was, really, so why not this delectable young lady?
Libra flushed slightly, though she didn't know exactly why. He certainly was ... charming, and definitely of a higher class than most of the other men she'd encountered in this bubble.
Perhaps she could actually have a civil conversation with this one. "Good afternoon," she replied in kind once he'd released her hand. A soft smile tugged at her lips as she regarded him. Attractive and charming. Bonus.
"I'm Libra Malfoy," she introduced herself - and part of her expected him to know the name. Honestly, she just expected everyone to know the surname, and here she'd been disappointed more often than not in that regard.
"Lestat de Lioncourt," he announced dramatically with a slight bow, "At your service. Doing some afternoon shopping, Miss Malfoy?"
He didn't recognize the name, of course, any more than he recognized her. He had his own expectations regarding her recognizing his, but then DauphinMare had proved to be a disappointment in that area thus far, so it was but a feeble hope.
"I was indulging in a bit myself," he ventured, "though I found some of the stores rather lacking."
Mostly in his material, mind you, but then that had been what he was looking for.
