Cleopatra, being her young, impetuous self, has decided to take a break from ruling Egypt. She's managed to open a door to Milliways from sheer determination to get out of the palace and not have to worry (as much) about anyone trying to kill her.

"That is no way to speak to the Queen of all Egypt." She says, with a hint of amusement in her voice.

Worse part, he is all those indeed. "Have a seat?" If the bravado and the way of smiling ever seem familiar to her, it is because he learned it from a roman.

She pauses and looks the young man over.
"You have the bearing of men I have known."

Finally, though, he finishes with the frosted glass (for the moment) and pushes it back, announcing in his usual, chipper tone: "Hiya!"
Because, really, if you're not going to talk to strangers in a bar like this, you'll never meet anyone.

"...Really?"
But that introduction makes him blink quite a bit, nevertheless, both because it's awfully sudden and, well...Cleopatra?
(He's not even sure what to make of all this Isis stuff!)
"Er, I'm Momiji Sohma! I'm just a high school student...nice to meet you?"

And, if her outfit is any indication, she's definitely a member of royalty - or at least someone up in the higher ranks.

Yes, it's a line he's used here before. It's also one he'll probably use again.

She is more referring to her situation back home than her current location. If only her brother would just...die.
She watches him, with a smirk. If there's one thing she knows how to do, it's play with men.
