Tai didn’t know Oliver all that well, but she did know his girlfriend and his two teammates were missing, so Taisia decided that she could show Tommy around a little bit while Oliver was off doing something, or at least that was how she rationalized it to herself.
“You showed up at an interesting time,” she teased him as she pushed off of the wall she’d been standing by. “So, what’s your poison? Pubs? Clubs? Normal Bars?”
“All of the above,” Tommy said, flashing the pretty brunette a grin. Oliver might be his best friend, but he sure wasn’t going to turn down a tour from someone a whole lot prettier (at least in his opinion).
"That is not helpful," she said pointing at him. "If you don't pick one, we'll flip a coin." She informed him.
“Hey, I’m new here,” he argued, half-joking. “Which place do you like the best? You look like someone with good taste.”
“I usually pick the places with the best food, but seeing as you did just show up, I think you need to be exposed to The Three Broomsticks, it’s not very often you get to try real fire whiskey, well in most worlds.” She nodded in the right direction. “Let’s see if you can keep up,” she teased.
“The Three Broomsticks? Like in Harry Potter?” Tommy actually blinked at that, surprised in spite of the rest of the situation he’d found himself in. “Seriously?”
“Exactly like Harry Potter,” Taisia grinned. “Well come on, don’t stand there looking shocked!” She picked up her speed just a little bit for fun.
Tommy had to rush to keep up, impressed by how quickly she could move considering how much longer his legs are. “This had better not be some kind of Atlantis hazing,” he teased her.
Slowing down as he started to catch up she looked at him with a smirk. “If I were going to haze you, I’d find that popcorn thing people got stuck in and throw you in it.”
“Well, now that sounded kind of like fun,” he joked. “Who doesn’t like popcorn?” Atlantis seemed to be a really weird place, from what he’d seen of it so far.
Shrugging she really couldn’t think of anyone she knew that didn’t like it. “You think you could swim your way out of a popcorn pool?”
Tommy thought about it. “Probably not. I don’t really think of popcorn and a swimming kind of food,” he admitted, laughing.
"Here, you never know," Taisia said nodding as they got to the Three Broomsticks, someone came out and held the door for them as they headed in Taisia thanked them and motioned for Tommy to follow her towards the bar. Ordering two fire whiskey's and two butter beers she handed him his as they came out finding a table not far from the bar.
"Bottoms up," she said holding up her shot of fire whiskey.
“Bottoms up,” Tommy echoed, grinning back at her. His visit to Atlantis was off to a great start.
