Re: Kate - 7:05pm - Lounge - Percy
Could this introduction have gone better? Possibly. But Percy didn't have time to sit and dwell on his failed line, nor did he want to waste the ripe opportunity presented before him. Gladly, he took the seat offered to him, settling in against the plush cushions.
"Well, Kate, unfortunately for the both of us, that was my best material," Percy lamented. He shot a glance at the ceiling, sighing. His eyes closed for a brief moment--the picture of hopeless resignation--before he opened them again and shrugged, as if the failure had never occurred. Instead, he raised his glass, a silent salute to his new acquaintance.
"But it's good to meet you, too. I almost stayed in tonight, can you imagine, so that I could watch Michael Bolton's 'Big, Sexy, Valentine's Day Special.'" Percy grinned cheekily at the dusky-hued lady sitting near him, then took a drink. "Is the B-Man enough to make you want to talk to me? Or should I try another icebreaker? I have to say, though, I'm running out of them."
