“They all burn the same, sweetheart. However, I will give it some thought, only for you.” Veronica added, a half-hearted smile finding its way to her lips. In her time she’d had every possible drink, every possible combination of two alcoholic drinks a young, broke and borderline desperate person could think of. Today, however, something as random as drinks didn’t matter not in the slightest. None of it, with the exception of their current war did. The caporegime saw no point in bursting Rory’s bubble. Not yet, at least. Not so suddenly. The young brunette, however, insisted on taking a trip to the dark side of Crystal City. And Veronica knew the Morgan mafia could use someone as resourceful as Rory Hale so why not let her ease into it. Her gaze swept over the club and the security men who still had question marks over their heads after their brief encounter with Rory. Hearing the brunette not only enjoyed having the parrot as a pet but also wanted ten more parrots, was in true Rory fashion. V gave a soft nod, smiling. “Good. Happy to hear it all worked out in the end. You never know, Christmas is approaching… You might want to put ten parrots on your list.” No doubt Veronica would get her all ten if Rory truly said so. “As you know, there’s a reason why I asked you to join me here tonight,” V leaned back and crossed her legs– as if she was making some casual conversation, not discussing illegal activities. “I need you to do something else for me. Retrieve information, to be more exact. You’d be rewarded accordingly naturally. I have to warn you though, the task might require a lot of patience. Does it sounds like something you’d want to do?”
“For Christmas, ten parrots and a pear in a tree or whatever you crazy Americans say in the song.” The woman cackled loudly, taking no notice of the fact Veronica only appeared to be half in the conversation right now. Rory was in a club, drinking, in the presence of a beautiful woman and the alcohol was free….what was there for her to be bothered by? Nothing currently. “I would have to think of ten names though, or just give them numbers, my brain is not as big as it needs to be for ten names.” She joked, not sure who she would be given said list to since her parents were back in France and didn’t give two shits about their daughter, but she humoured Veronica regardless. “I assume, but you need to tell me this reason.” Leaning forward a bit to be able to hear better what the other was saying her face was open and clearly interested, because if she had been called here by Veronica it must be for something crime related, right? Especially considering their most little outing. Pursing her lips she listened to the task the other wanted from her, eyebrows raising a little, but not in any way judgmentally. “Getting information is what I have been doing since I was a little girl. J'ai construit ma vie sur les informations que j'ai récupérées quand personne ne m'a même demandé de le faire. (I built my life on the information I collected when no one even asked me to.) Who does it need to come from?”
