Lisa breathed out in relief when she saw their destination. Okay.. the first thing i'm doing when we sit down is taking off these shoes. she said as they went inside. She smiled over at River, feeling more relaxed now after walking for many blocks with him.
Once they were seated and drinks ordered - lisa just getting a soda - lisa reached down and slipped off her heels. as she rubbed her feet she groaned and looke dto River. Okay. Remind me next time not to pick a place so far away when i'm wearing heels! she laughed, her brown eyes sparlkling

River rolled his eyes. "Well stop wearing heels if they hurt you so bad." He picked up his drink, also just soda, because why start out drinking. HE took a long drink and smiled over at Lisa. He nodded towards the stage. There was a jazz band playing, and people were making a bad effort at swing dancing. HE rolled his eyes. River knew how to swing dance. He looked at Lisa again, sighed, and felt like he should resign with the thought of not dancing tonight. "Tell me something about yourself Lisa."

Lisa smiled sweetly at him... Something about myself? hmm..... she bit hr lip thinking on that a moment. She tucked a loose strand of hair back behind her ear again, the rest of her dark hair was pulled up in a messy like bun... but it looked good on her.
She glanced over to teh dance floor at the people then back to him. Well, Mr Garroway... i mean.. river. she smiked. What would you like to know about me? she asked. Ask me anything at all. I'm in an answering mood. and ask the right question and you might just get an hour long answer! she giggled

River rolled his eyes and smiled. "Well, what are your hobbies?" He took a drink and noticed her subtle glance towards the dance floor. He would ask her to dance in a bit. Hardly anyone could swing like him. "I mean when you're not secretary-ing for a sex therapist, what do you do?" He glanced at her clothes and smirked. "And do you own any clothes that don't look like secretary clothes? Something hot?" He reached out and plucked at her shirt. "Cause if not, cher, I need to take you to Lilac and Lace, get you some new clothes." He laughed. "I know the owner personally, Bride, she's a good friend who married a good friend."

Lisa's eyes got wide and her jaw droped a bit at his accusations.. Well aren't you a bold one! she teased, trying to keep herself from blushing. And what do you care how i dress? she asked tucking that loose strand back in place again.
Hobbies... well... i have many but... i'd have to say my favorite is journalism. i mean.. i was going to school to be a reporter when i met Ryan. When we got married he said it wouldn't be a problem for me to continue, but then things started getting bad at home... and i had to drop out so i could make him happy again... too bad that didn't last very long. she said the last part with a sad look in her eyes and her voice weakened.

River shook his head. He poked her hard in the arm to draw her back to now. "I think if you want to do your journalism then go for it. Start out free-range and send something to a local newspaper or magazine." He shrugged, taking another drink. "Also, I don't care how you dress, really, but I think if you don't have relaxation clothes, if they all look like this," he indicated her clothes, "Then we need to take you shopping." He shrugged again. "I'm sure I could get you a discount on anything you want from Bride." He winked. "She likes me..." He leaned close. "Don't tell Vane though, that's her husband." He laughed softly and took a drink. Shaking his head he lowered the glass. "Kidding though, Vane would kill me....really."

Lisa giggled lightly, Don't worry, you're secrets safe with me. she assured him, smiling sweetly at him. And yes i have 'relaxation clothes'... it's just that they are for wearing to bed. She said smirking a bit and trying to keep a straight face. she knew what kind of clothes he was talking about. But those kinds of clothes had never been like her.
She smiled, softly as she looked to the dance floor again, watching the happy couples trying to do the swing. They all looked so happy out there...

River rolled his eyes and smirked at her. "Well then I need to take you to get some real relaxation clothes." He finished his drink and got up to go get another one, looking down at her to see if maybe she needed one atoo. "I'm going to take your drink to get it refilled, if that's all right." He picked her glass up and didn't bother to wait for her to reply. He went to the bar and got a refill for her, a screwdriver for him, starting off the nights drinking lightly. He brought her the drink and looked off to the dance floor where she was looking as well. "Would you like to dance?"

Lisa shook her head a bit as he left with her drink, not waiting to see if she wanted more. When he came back she took the glass and sipped a bit.
Dance? me? oh no, no, no. I can't dance. I just.. liek to watch other people dance... see how happy they all look... she sipped her drink again and crossed her legs at the knee. You know you can tell alot about a person by the way they dance. she said to him matter of factly, looking up at him through her dark lashes.

River chuckled. "Well I don't know about that, but I do know that if it's true then you must have one hell of a dull personality if you don't dance at all..." He leaned down, took a long drink of his screwdriver and took her hand, pulling her to her feet. "Come on Lisa, no more watching from the sidelines." He pulled her a little. "I can swing dance better than anyone in here so let me show you how it's done."

Lisa laughed, Oh really? Better than anyone. she teased him but she let him pull her onto the dance floor. Lisa's shoes were still under the table, so she let her panty hose covered feet slid a bit on the floor as they got into place.

River leaned down, whispering against her ear. "Do you know how to swing?" He spun her out to arms length and started the dance. IT was fast paced with a lot of foot work and he was determined to make this work for her whether she knew how or not.

Lisa blushed a bit and smiled warmly.. A little she whispered back as he began the dance. She did her best to keep up with his fast moves. It wasn't all that hard to follow. And soon she was dancing with him so easily... it was like everyone else in the world had faded away and it was just the two of them... here.. on the dance floor....

River laughed at her weird little attempt to keep up. She wasn't the greatest but at least she could dance a little. He spun her again and in the midst of the spin, facing the door area, he saw someone slip in that looked vaguely familiar. He bit his lip. It couldn't be....no no no no no... He pulled her back in, moving his feet quickly with the dance. He was also trying to hide them a little, because if this was who he thought it was he didn't want to get noticed.
But no...it could not be who I think it is....

Zarek wrinkled his nose at the stench of human sweat. Even though he was no longer technically a hunter, his senses were still stronger with the ambrosia running through his system. He stripped his raptors off and glared around the room, his now blue eyes lightly catching a little of the light. He smiled as he spotted a familiar form. He slowly began to walk through the crowd towards River and a familiar looking girl. "Hello River." He said into River's ear as he walked past to a table against the wall a few feet away. He sat and watched River throw the young girl around the dance floor, 'I never could understand this shit, it's just controlled violence, without anyone getting hurt.' He thought as he ordered himself a Jack and coke from the waitress.
