Angelina hasn't been to the bar in a while. Why bother? Most of the people she used to know have stopped coming, moved on to bigger and better things. The last person she had any real connection to left without saying goodbye and never came back. Bastard. Not that she's bitter or

Nearby is a mage that has met Angelina before. There are a few differences, as those often crop up with time. For one, this woman has much shorter hair now. For another, she has discovered the muggle device known as a walkman and is currently jamming on such.

And probably the most important, she's no longer engaged to Draco Malfoy.

As she's walking and listening, she notices the witch she's met before and stops, taking her headphones off.

After a moment, she says, "Excuse me, but you look familiar. Have we met before?"

"Um..." she looks Mia over, dredging the banks of her memory.

"Aren't you Malfoy's fiancee?" Not subtle really. You could blame the alcohol, but she'd probably be just as blunt if she was sober.

"Not anymore."

And she shows Angelina her left hand, where a rose gold wedding band has joined the engagement ring.

Yrael's off from his bartending shift, now that the Bar has woken up again, so he heads over when he sees a familiar face.

"Yrael! Hi!" she says, smiling to see a familiar face, even one she hasn't seen in so long.

"How are you?"

[mogget_cat]

"I am very well, my friend," he grins. "How about you? I haven't seen you in quite a long time."

For both of them, it looks like.

Angie shrugs.

"I haven't really been around much lately. I've been really busy."

She made sure to keep herself that way, so she didn't have time to dwell on things like dead parents and ex-boyfriends.

Angelina sips her drink and looks around the bar. She sees the guy looking and completely fails to see any resemblance to the Raph she used to know. To her he's just another stranger in a bar that now seems so full of them. But she smiles politely anyway before taking a sip of her drink.

"Hey, are you alright?" she asks, her voice taking on a tone of concern. Choking is A Bad Thing.
