Rosalie Hale opens the door to the bar, a little hesitantly for someone as sure of herself as Rosalie is. She steps in, glances around, and shuts the door behind her

Rosalie notices the all-too-familiar signs of fatigue. She's seen it a lot in other humans, and begun to wonder at it. She can hardly remember what it's like to feel tired...
"I'm well," she returns. Her expression then becomes a bit more hesitant before she mentions, "You seem a bit... drained, maybe."
Rosalie sits a few minutes in silence before starting to feel a little awkward about pretending to ignore the person sitting right next to her. She takes a deep but silent breath and addresses nonchalantly, "Hello."
Bella's hanging out in Bar, parked at a table with a book (The Time Traveler's Wife, because it's summer and therefore she's departing from her usual classical/Victorian romance in favor of something more current.)
She glances up and notices Rosalie, and then spends the next minute or two fidgeting and trying to figure out if she ought to say hello or not.
Rosalie's ears pick up on the subtle noises of fidgeting, and she glances sideways enough to notice Bella out of the corner of her eye.
And then she finds herself debating as well.
She sighs a little and turns her head in the other direction. She focuses on trying not to crack the porcelain mug between her hands. She really should say something. She doesn't want to, but she knows she should.
Bella turns her attention back to her book. Or tries to, anyway, because she can't help thinking that she really should try to develop at least a speaking-terms relationship with Edward's other sister at some point in her life.
And some point really should start sooner than later, since she's fairly sure it's going to take some trying.
"Hi, Rosalie," she ventures quietly after a few minutes of this sort of inner debate.
Rosalie turns and raises one eyebrow slightly. She stares at Bella silently for a moment, letting the pause last longer than she needs to.
"Hi," she returns finally. She doesn't snap, but there is a definite icy edge to her tone.
At the moment, Rosalie's not pondering her reasons for her aversion to this girl. If she was, she'd be forced to grudgingly admit to herself once again that her reasons are a bit childish, and certainly not the result anything Bella has actually done wrong. But if she doesn't think about it, she doesn't have to admit that. For now, she's simply letting herself feel irritated.

She hasn't yet, though.
