As rarely as Katarina managed to have the energy and the will to have a big evening out, especially at a weekend, she loved to really bask in it when she did. She had dressed herself up in a slightly over the top dress and two petticoats (which did a helpful dual duty of puffing out her skirt and keeping her a bit more comfy when sitting down), plus some slightly ridiculous shoes she'd bought recently.

She was perched on a stool with a fancy looking pink and orange mocktail watching people. It was a bit too loud for her to follow conversations she wasn't a part of, and Hen, who had come with her, had also abandoned her already in favour of sticking a tongue down someone's throat. Not that Katarina was complaining really, she'd come out to try and meet someone after all. Dating apps had been disappointing recently, and she wanted to try meeting people in person again.

She wasn't sure if it was the time she spent at Taboo that had changed her tastes and expectations of attractive dress, but she suddenly spotted a woman who reminded her of rock, kink, and pretty much everything opposite to herself all at once. It hit her like a wave and like a wave it was even more of a surprise when it washed back over her on the way back past her. She couldn't pass this one up.

Carefully Katarina slipped off the stool, extended her collapsible (slightly glittery) cane from its hiding place in her purse, and made her way over to the intriguing woman. She wasn't sure she should pull out a cheesy line, but she'd been spending too much time with certain dad-joke tellers again and couldn't get one out of her head.

She smiled as she approached. "Hi, I think we dressed from the opposite ends of the dress spectrum, but they do say opposites attract," she said. She almost said something about meeting in the middle, but that might be a step too far.

Katarina smirked a little and tried to work out if she fell into either camp. Hopefully she'd at least made it out of the latter for now, but she wasn't sure if she fell into expectations of the former.

"You know people read my clothes all wrong. They know muggle fashion and go '1950s housewife' and I'm all gay, muggleborn business owner with a disability. If I lived in either community at that time I'd end up dead for one reason or another." She shrugged somewhat philosophically, having become accustomed to the thought even if it wasn't a happy one.

She smiled broadly. "Why thank you... I would absolutely agree," she said with a flick of her eyes down Coira's dress. "I get told I'm overdressed and dramatic, which isn't wrong and I embrace it. But my other mode is pyjamas so I'd rather over do it." The conversation was getting away from her a bit, but at least she managed to imply something about her in bed so it was vaguely in the right direction.

Coira gave a bit of a crooked smile. She wasn't sure but Later seemed to be fast approaching. "Nothing wrong with dressing to the nines." The idiom felt clumsy coming out of her mouth, old fashioned. In different circumstances she might have already dragged this redhead towards the nearest apparition point or maybe found a dark corner away from prying eyes.

"I just get told I'm dramatic." A warmth growing in her cheeks. "Oversized hoodies and leggings are great for my flat, but I like to stand out."
