Who: Ray Terrill and Pandora
What: Meeting, Drinking, and Who knows...
Where: A bar near the apartments, somewhere
When: Late evening.
Warnings: PG-13 to start for language and adult situations

Ray was in the bar, which had looked kind of nice, or, well, quietish, anyway, when he had arrived. He had found a booth, one where he could drink on his own, and watch people, or just stare into space, Which was what he was doing now.

Dressed in all black, well fitting clothing, and boots, he was not really thinking about anything much. Work had been long, and he was still getting his computer company set up, so things were unstable. Money was not a problem, but he sure did come home tired.

Thus, the bar, to forget, to block it out, to just not think, for awhile.

Now, bars were a favourite haunt of the former Madame Imperiatrix known as Pandora - they gave her a chance to pick up the odd attractive young man or two, and distract her from various annoyances.

And, as luck so happened, she saw a fairly attractive one almost as soon as she entered, sitting alone in a booth. She straightened her dress - a low-cut red number, one she was extremely fond of - and proceeded towards him.

"Do you mind if I sit here, with you?"

He blinked and re-focused when he heard her voice, then blinked again as he saw her, the beautiful woman before him. He rose and nodded, sweeping a hand toward the seat opposite him.

"Ah, sure. Yes. Please, join me."

He was not one, generally, for picking up people at bars, but if he had seen such women as this more often, he might have become such.

"Buy you a drink?"

He did not sit until she did.

Pandora slid into the seat he indicated, a smile on her lips - she rather liked the reaction she was getting here.

"Thank you, good sir," she said. "And, if you would be so kind... I'd rather like a white wine, the house one."

She'd developed quite a taste for Earth's wines over the years, she had to admit - they were rather wonderful things, far better than the rubbish that Gallifrey's wineries put out.

He grinned and nodded, waving a hand for one of the roving waitresses and passing on her order, as well as ordering another beer for himself.

"You are welcome. And a good choice on the drink. I'm Ray, by the way."

He studied her, enjoying how her dress seemed to his eyes to caress her very closely indeed. Wow. He felt like he was in the start of some kind of movie, or something.

	"I'm Pandora, a pleasure to meet you, Ray." She couldn't help but smile as she noticed his scrutiny of her. The wonders of this dress, and of her own inherent beauty and glamour (apparently), never ceased to amaze her. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"A pleasure to meet you as well, Pandora. What brings a beautiful woman like you here tonight?" The wine and beer arrived and Ray took them, then handed the wine over to Pandora, smiling. Whatever her reasoning, she was smart, and beautiful, and damn sexy, especially with how that dress hugged her. He nodded and decided to see where the evening would go.

Pandora accepted the wine, taking a sip before placing it down on the table before her - good stuff, she had to admit, but she wasn't going to rush it down, not in such delightful company.

"I could ask what brings such a handsome man here, too," she pointed out. "I'm here... for relaxation. A few annoyances here and there entitle me to a couple of drinks, you see."

	He nodded. "I'm just relaxing after a long day. I am starting up a computer business here, after arriving recently. It is a long and annoying process." He chuckled. "And between paperwork and not knowing hardly anyone here... I am tired, and wanting forgetfulness and relaxation." He shrugged. "And the company of a beautiful woman never hurts."

"Oh, computers? I know a fair amount about those..."

It wasn't a lie, either. The joys of coming from Gallifrey had meant around fifty years of her life had been dedicated to learning about 'Earth computing devices', as they'd been called on the syllabus.

"I know barely anyone here, I must admit," she paused, and smiled - another compliment? This man clearly knew what he was doing. "However, if you keep this up, I do believe I'm going to try socialising more often."

	He raised an eyebrow. "Really? Cool!" He grinned as he leaned forward. "Do you have one at home?" He blushed, then. "I just believe in speaking plainly and saying what I feel." He nodded. "When talking to a sexy woman, and an intelligent one, One should always be honest." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	mme_imperiatrix 2008-08-22 10:08 pm UTC (link)
	The man clearly loved his computers, that was clear - and he was blushing! She couldn't help but find that rather cute. "I have one - not the most advanced thing in the world, but it does what it's supposed to do," she stated. "And honesty will get you everywhere, you know, especially with me."

	shinygeek 2008-08-22 10:13 pm UTC (link)
	He raised an eyebrow, but then switched to deal with what she had first said. The faint hint of a blush was still on his cheeks though. "Do you want something better? I could probably get you one. I have been making a lot of contacts." Then he grinned and bit his lip. "I am most curious to follow where honesty might lead." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

So, that bit of innuendo hadn't sailed merrily over his head. That was... rather excellent, really - it meant he had a working brain, unlike quite a bit of the rest of New York.

"I suppose I could do with a better one, yes," she admitted, leaning her chin on her hand and allowing herself a grin. "And honesty is, you might say, the key to my box... if you'll excuse the terrible pun."

	And he blushed a bright red this time, and ducked his head before meeting her eyes. "Then I would most definitely like to keep turning it until I make you... click." He let the last word roll off his tongue as almost a purr even as he blushed, eyes on hers. "As far as a computer, I am sure one can be...fit in." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Oh, this one caught on fast. She was rather enjoying herself here, and was actually blushing herself - something almost unheard of in recent times.

"You're doing rather well already... and I'm sure we can fit a great deal many things in."

She purposely made her voice as seductive as she could make it, adding a slight purring quality to it as she went along. She wasn't about to be outdone in this department, no sir.

	He blushed and grinned, eyes warming and almost glowing as desire lit in him. "Then you should drink more... keeping things slick is good for fitting large objects in small spaces." That purr was definitely in his voice to stay. He was enjoying himself tremendously. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	mme_imperiatrix 2008-08-23 12:49 pm UTC (link)
	Now it was definitely her turn to go bright red. Quite the blatant one, there, although... she wasn't about the complain. There was an almost electric look in her eyes - a look that more than plainly showed how she felt. "Oh? Well, if you insist." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	shinygeek 2008-08-23 12:51 pm UTC (link)
	He smiled, dipping his eyes and nodding, as he raised his own drink. "To new acquaintances and to successful... fittings." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	mme_imperiatrix 2008-08-23 07:51 pm UTC (link)
	She raised her drink, a playful smile on her lips. "To as many of the latter as possible." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	shinygeek 2008-08-23 07:58 pm UTC (link)
	He raised and sipped his drink, grinning. "Here, here." Then he nodded. "I didn't come here looking for this, but I am glad you are here." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	mme_imperiatrix 2008-08-23 08:07 pm UTC (link)
	She took a sip from her drink, repressing the urge to just down it all in one - unwomanly behaviour wasn't something she should really make a habit of practising, she supposed. "The best things in life are... the unexpected parts - the ones that jump you from behind, so to speak." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	shinygeek 2008-08-23 08:10 pm UTC (link)
	He grinned and stretched out a hand, touching one of hers with a long stroking touch. "Indeed, pleasant things often come unexpectedly. And I am happy for it." He stroked her hand idly even as he grinned. "And I for one am most eager to see how good this will be." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	mme_imperiatrix 2008-08-25 06:35 pm UTC (link)
	His hand was warm, and fairly comforting, against hers - she momentarily thanked whatever gods there were that she'd remembered to stop her second heart for the evening. Explaining that would just be plain awkward. "With me on board, things are almost guaranteed to be good - or so people have told me, once or twice." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	shinygeek 2008-08-25 08:31 pm UTC (link)
	"Oh, really. Then I am looking forward to seeing this, indeed." He grinned and raised her hand to kiss it. (Reply to this) (Parent)
