Hah. Men. How long had it been since her divorce? Hm, she can't recall. But why did such a memory resurface? Was it the area, or was it the young man who tried to charm her? Yes, yes. All part of his job, that was for certain. After all, she was here for a very particular reason, one she wouldn't share with him. " Don't apologize. " She added, moving a few strands of hair behind her ear. For why should he? It was an honest reaction. Honesty. That was something she highly appreciated.
She glanced at him a few times, but didn't truly look at him. Handsome, but far too young. If she could wince, she would. But right now, she needed to keep such thoughts to herself. " Yes. I do. Beauty marks are all the rage, aren't they? " She answered despite his words, examining the poster once again as she tilted her head slightly. " You have a nice side profile. You should take a photograph that enhances all your features, though it appears that the person who took the photographs was an amateur. It's not the only photo that I've seen with issues. "
Finally, her head turned, gaze fixed on him. There was a slight twitch of her eyebrows as he took her hand. Irritation, but one that she kept a tight rein on. Pluma didn't enjoy being touched, let alone by men she barely knew ( and one who could be her daughter's age! ). " I'm interested, that's all. " She said, her tone monotone, bereft of all emotion. Charming, that's the thought she had. Ugh. Her daughter would love this. " Well, you're here, are you not? I might as well take my chances. " Not that she had much to offer. Pluma was an overall boring woman. But. . . he's the entertainer, so she thought she didn't have to worry about such details.
Another twitch of her eyebrows. Let go already, she thought. " Might be a bit of a challenge for you, Botan. I'm a dry person. " She added, releasing a soft, yet fake giggle. " But since you are the best. . . I suppose this won't be a problem, no? " When her hand was released, she immediately drew it back, clutching her wrist with the other as a faint tremor shook her shoulders. " I do. Alcohol can be nice once in a while. " Slowly, she started walking toward the establishment. " Do you have a favorite? A drink, I mean. "
