[ OOC: Any time someone puts effort into something for me, I will find a way to make it work! I unfortunately don't know much about 14's canon, but I am always down for Lady Time! c: ]
[ The stress of this situation is a little much to carry on her shoulders and she's always been the sort to quietly hold onto her burdens and figure out a way to fix them on her lonesome. A bar like this seemed as well as any, the dim light soothing over the bright lights and the conversations of cafes. Company isn't undesirable, but she's not interested in hearing a menu perkily read to her.
Plus, there's the drinks. A cocktail or two might just be what she needs to unwind. She first makes her way to order just that -- some local specialty (it's pink and promised to be fruity). She doesn't pay any mind to the other patrons until she's jarred into a conversation. Needless to say she's only used it a handful of times, herself. ]
Hello. [ Simple enough, her mind's voice a little tentative but comfortable in volume. It gets her to turn her head and try to spot where the conversation's starting point might be, only pinning it with a wave. ] I think I've found you. One moment, please.
[ Naturally, she'd hope for the same were she surrounded by others and quickly orders a second drink, steady pace once they're both in hand to ensure that she doesn't spill them over the edge. With false consideration she nudges around the crowd offering quiet pardons. ]
Ah, there you are. I'm sorry that I've run a little late for our business meeting. [ Business seems a good bet to get people to scatter, right? If she played friend that might be considered an invitation to join in. People seemed to do it all the time. Setting a glass before the other woman she slips into the seat and smiles at the crowd. ] I apologize, but I need to speak to my colleague without a group crowding her. Despite the drinks, it's all work and no play.
[ She smiles at the crowd, without wavering, as she stares at them expectantly while putting them on the spot. It's a little difficult to ensure she thinks rather than speaks but she manages a quick: Just play along, I do this all the time. It's the best way to escape the fans, she's come to figure. ]
