The bar was dark and crowded, but Thorn wore a smile all the same. She needed a drink so badly she'd put up with pretty much anything. It took some judicious use of elbows to get to the actual bar, but when she was there, she had no problems getting the attention of the barman. Red hair, red lips and a low neckline did their good work for her.
Soon she was leaning casually in a corner with her first few lined up and ready. She figured she'd start soft and get to the stronger stuff later, when her tastebuds had already started to give up. To that end, she was on a weak sort of cider shandy business, followed by a nasty looking sticky cocktail, some heck-weird alco-pop and a double gin and tonic.
She'd just started the cocktail when she caught sight of a face she recognised. Not that she could remember his name, but what did that mean? She was certain she knew the face.
Smiling broadly, she waved to him, trying to get him to come over. It was half in the hope that he'd give her some clue as to where she knew him from and half because she needed company that she did it, but either way, she figured she'd get him a drink.
"Hey!" she called, when she thought he was in earshot. "Hey, over here!"
