Remy whistled to himself as he strolled down the street, tipping his head in greeting as he passed an attractive young woman, then turning to watch appreciatively as she walked away. Smiling, he continued on his way. It wasn’t a specific way – he had no actual destination. He’d just decided to hop on the streetcar, ride it to the end of the line, and find a way to amuse himself wherever he ended up. He had ended up, of course, in Carrollton. There were worse places to kill some time, and he reached into his pocket for a cigarette, hand brushing against his phone. Frowning slightly, he pulled the pack free and lit a cigarette. Jean-Luc hadn’t called yet. It wasn’t that Remy was expecting a call exactly, but there had been whispers of something big coming down the line, and he had hoped to have been contacted about it by that point. He had no idea what kind of big thing was supposed to happen, but he sure as hell wanted to get in on it.
Taking a long drag, he slipped the pack back into his pocket and turned the corner onto Oak Street. He dodged a woman rushing down the street pushing a stroller and headed down the street. The sound of music coming from one of the storefronts caught his attention, and he glanced up. He knew of the Maple Leaf but had always managed to talk his way out of actually going whenever Emil had tried to insist that he join him. There was little risk that his cousin would be stopping by that night, given the fact he was halfway across the continent, handling some business. It was a perfect time to actually check it out.
He stepped through the door, letting his eyes adjust to the bar. It took a few blinks to focus through his contacts, but once he did, his attention was drawn immediately to the woman at the microphone. She had the sort of voice that made you feel right along with the words of the song she was singing, and he smiled. It would definitely do. Weaving through the surprisingly dense crowd, he slipped onto a stool at the far end of the bar and twisted in the seat to enjoy the performance.
