Late Night Mocha Multipup; OTA
Kara hated dressing up. She wasn't a girly girl - she was far more comfortable in jeans and tshirts or flannels than in dresses. But sometimes you just had to. Like tonight when your bar was being given an award for one of the best bars in the City. She'd found out last minute and though she technically wasn't the owner - Connor still was - he couldn't go so Kara was filling in.

Hence the dress she was wearing now. But she had a bit until her cab arrived and so she had gone into the Mocha for a coffee, ignoring the looks she was getting.

Loki was sprawled over the couch closest to the fireplace, soaking up the warmth as he flipped through his old and battered copy of Poe.

Hugh was in the Mocha as well, reading glasses in place, hair sticking up wildly. He'd just had the oddest dream. Well he assumed it was a dream at least - and he must have been sleep walking. Because he didn't remember coming to the Mocha. But at least he had his notebook with him and now he was hastily jotting down the bits he did remember.

Niles was thinking of going out tonight. Why not? It was Saturday and it felt like he hadn't been out in ages. Dressed in a dark blue button up and a pair of nice black pants, he went down to the Mocha to get a quick cup of coffee so that he could be guaranteed to be awake as long as he needed to.
He paused to take in the female shape in front of him in the white dress, and what a nice shape it was. Also stunningly familiar too...

"Kara?!" he said after a moment.

	Kara turned and smiled - maybe a bit sheepishly at him. "Hey," she said, suddenly very aware of the fact that she had 'evening makeup' on and her hair was done in soft waves and she was even wearing perfume. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"You look gorgeous," he blurted. "I mean. Well, you always do. But whoa." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	She laughed softly. "Well I try to keep it a secret but - I am a girl after all," she teased. "Even if I do hate dressing up. And heels." And boy was she wearing some heels. "But thank you." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	He cleared his throat and looked her over again, even shifting a bit. "Yeah. Well, uhm... It suits you. Where are you going?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Oh the pub is getting an award from some big City thing - or something. Owner couldn't go so I got drafted at the last moment. Show up, look pretty, get the award, smile for a few pictures, go home. Hopefully." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	He nodded, still staring. "Cool," he said and cleared his throat again His arm wrapped around her shoulders and he pulled her close, putting his nose in her hair to smell her perfume. "You've certainly got the 'look pretty' part down." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Ah, a little light holiday reading!" Fin said. He had just come from the Square, was chilled to the bone and needed to be near the fire. And he wasn't going to let Loki being there stop him, so there! He stripped off his gloves and offered bone white hands to the warmth with a grimace of distaste. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Loki grinned. "It's really much more fun to read when you were able to sit and have lengthy discussions about the stories with the author himself," he said. "You, you poor thing, look positively frozen." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Just a bit," Fin agreed, deciding to ignore that comment about Poe. It occurred to him that if he regularly spent time in loki's company he'd probably end up writing Poesque style stuff as well (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Loki sympathetic - what a turn up for the books. Fin eyed him doubtfully, but he was very cold so he nodded and said, "Thanks," and took the offered seat. "It's fun out there but so cold," he said. "Staying inside is probably a good move." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
