Who: Talia al Ghul and Cheshire
Where: a New York restaurant
When: April 23rd
Summary: Talia and Cheshire meet to discuss business.
"Thank you for coming."
In so many professions, the concept of "wine and dine" had become out-dated. Publishers now emailed prospective clients, rather than flying them in and romancing them with a night on the town. Still, some businesses understood taking clients out to dinner. And some bosses understood that a proposition was best made while making the recipient feel special, needed.
One such boss was Talia al Ghul.
She'd made the reservations, ordered a bottle of wine, and had only been waiting for her guest to arrive. Some would have balked at her desire to meet at a restaurant. So many people around...
But Talia liked discussing business with others around. She wasn't stupid enough to provide details, of course, but the ambient noise made it harder to be overheard. Meeting at a public place also invited less trouble-- so long as she didn't cause trouble-- than meeting alone at some decrepit warehouse or dock or some such nonsense.
She smiled at the woman who'd joined her. "Please, have a seat."
