Re: Kids in America (IC)
Val received the non-compliment with pursed lips. It was so Theo to consider others' outfits as 'counterpoints' to his own. Why was she even bothering with him, when she could feel Stefan's gaze like a tracking laser, finding the spaces between the hexagons of her dress? Because Theo was major prey, she reminded herself. And sometimes you need more elaborate bait to attract the best beasts, the ones that make for best trophies.
She mmm-hmmm'ed at Theo and adjusted his glasses slightly up his nose with a finger; then with a cheeky smile she let herself slid back into her own couch to face Stefan.
"Hey, Stef" she addressed the other Golden Boy, making a show of getting up very slowly, then minutely pulling down the fragmented hem of the dress, "this jazz is so dead. Let's get some real choo before I pass out from boredom."
She gave him a come-with-me gesture with the same index that had pushed up Theo's glasses and strutted on her heels, heading towards the bar. Then Kat started blaring through the sound system, making her rolls her eyes. Frack, the Obelisk was really lowering standards.
On the way to the bar, she spotted her sometime supplier Jai, chatting to a skater girl she vaguely remembered from school, what was her name again? Should she stop to say hi to them? They were in conversation, and she was leading Stef to the bar anyway, so she decided against it and...
She was still thinking about this when she reached the door out of the restaurant area, almost bumping into the guy coming in from the bar. Go-Ganger gear, a bit taller than her in her heels, and then she reached the face.
"Can you get out of- wait, Tailgate?"
Val took a subrepticious look back, to see if Stefan was following - and in any case, it didn't hurt to bait Stefan with Tailgate, just as she was baiting Theo with Stefan.
"Hey, goboy. We were heading to the bar to have a real drink..." she didn't quite invite him, but the hint was there.
