They didn't go into the city proper nearly enough for her tastes. Sure, it was an hour and change by train, but it was the city for pity's sake. There was always something to do, someone to meet, something to drink, and unless she had to work before noon on Saturday, there was always the option to just spend the night somewhere.

She knew she could go by herself, and sometimes she did, but after the crime spike, she really, really preferred having people come with her. Especially people with powers that could take out an attacker.

That didn't exactly explain what she was doing in a bar by herself though. She guessed it was the usual scattering of interests. A couple of people wanted that club, a couple of people wanted to find somewhere to shop, and Jaime inevitably wound up wandering off on her own. She, at least, could find them if she needed to, and it wasn't as though she didn't know where the train station was to get back.

She hadn't had much to drink (recently, at any rate) and was more or less sober. Pale blue eyes played over the men present as she tried to scope out the interesting ones. Age was mostly irrelevant to her, and sometimes older men had their charms. Granted, she looked younger than she was, and that appealed to them, too. Mostly though, she was just interested in having a night out on the town without worrying about everything in her life there was to worry about.

Shifting slightly on the bar stool, Jaime played with her empty glass as she continued to look around, waiting to see whose eye she caught tonight. Chatting, bar hopping, something else, she was up for just about anything.

She grinned. "Well, I was just trying to deflate your ego some so you could fit out the door," she teased him back. "I mean, if a guy has to say he's hot ..." Jaime arched her brows to let him assume whatever he'd like about how that sentence would end.

She wondered if he would call, and if it would matter either way. Chance meetings in bars rarely met with any followup, and she certainly wasn't going to hold her breath.

Watching him fiddle with his money made her wonder if he was tipsy or if his vision was blurry. "I wouldn't tip them that much," she said. Maybe he didn't know the cost of drinks? It was possible, if he was new. Reaching across, she plucked a couple of the smaller bills free and set those on the bar. "There," she declared before she resettled herself on her stool. She'd let him make his escape, and then she'd see about either catching a late train back or finding somewhere to crash for a little while. Maybe she'd play it safe and rent a room and just spend tomorrow in the city too.

"People have been trying to deflate my ego for years. It's yet to work," he replied with a playful wink. While he knew his ego might be just a tad big, he didn't think there was anything wrong with knowing that he was attractive. He didn't expect everyone to agree, though.

"I'm used to having more money than I do," he half quipped when she adjusted the amount of money he was leaving for the drinks. He did appreciate it, especially since he was suddenly on a limited income.

"Have a good night," he added before turning to make his way out of the bar. Once he was outside, he'd decide what he wanted to do, but in the end, he would probably just head back to Lily's room to see if she and Remus were back from the magical meeting yet.
