Can do. She gave a pleasant smile to both of them, and got the water and juice. She set the water, infused with fruits from Bothuwai to give it a crisp subtle flavor in front of the woman. The juice still had berries floating in it, They made an italicised "K" on the top of the liquid. Between them she placed a basket of local nuts and crunchy snack sticks, lightly seasoned to make anyone that ate them more thirsty. Got into some trouble with an old boss, so I found a new place. Well, the boss hadn't exactl;y told her she was in trouble, but Chloe was sure as soon as the boss found out she had taken all her pay in advance before the train job was done, they wouldn't have been too pleased. How about you two? How did mercenaries end up at a Medical center babysitting a doctor and lawyers?

Skye inclined her head as a thanks when she got her water, and noticed, smelt the added touch to it. It was a nice gesture and she appreciated it, though what she did not appreciate at all was being referred to as mercs. To the point that her head snapped in the barkeep's direction with an arched eyebrow."What gave you the impression we were mercs?"
The added K to his drink was perhaps a sign from Chloe, that she was trying to get his attention, but he was currently on a job so fraternizing or deeply socializing for him was out of the question. But Chloe seemed to know a lot about who they were protecting and where, and that was something that he kept in mind though he did not let anything show on his features or emotions. Lifting his hand soon enough in Skye's direction, knowing that she, and perhaps like Telandra would despise being referred as such, Kyle on the other hand didn't care much at all, whatever people thought about him. "Mercenaries, no. Bodyguards on their payroll, yes. Besides, a job is a job and we'd rather earn credits the proper way than tricking others into giving it to me or just us, in general." Taking a sip of his drink after he popped one of the berries in his mouth, Kyle omitted to take some snacks for now, at least. "Well let's just hope for your sake, that your old boss doesn't find you here, I don't think a lot of people would appreciate trouble on a peaceful planet, really." Smiling at the thought, Kyle was amused of that fact, yes this planet was peaceful and yes, in a way the doctors didn't really need much guarding, particularly Samael, but still like he had said, a job was a job and he was part of a pretty great team.

I meant no disrespect. In my experience, there is little is little difference between an mercenary and a bodyguard. I have known mercs more loyal than a vornskr pup, and bodygaurds more devious than a sith's apprentice. I apologize, drinks tonight are on me to make up for it. The new girl can't be making her customers mad now can she.
As for my old boss, I don't think he will be out to find me. I highly doubt he thinks I made it off that train alive.
She was tossing bottle expertly and mixing drinks for others while conversing with the two bodyguards. Putting on a small show everyone could enjoy. She was filling the place with jovial and exciting feelings, many around her were eating it up.

Bubble & Squeak - Main Bar Pursing her lips, there was an amused sparkle in Kassidy's eyes as she looked across the table at Wilhelm. "We really need to work on your pick up lines, Bot-man." She quipped while picking up her glass again to take another drink before looking up and gazing around the bar in time to see Brent "Hawk-Eye" Dalton, one of the security personnel for Wilhelm and Samael, approach the table with his gaze on Lindsay as he spoke.Lindsay looked up, meeting his gaze, just in time to see the wink he gave her after he spoke. Momentarily speechless, and blushing a little, she glanced away quickly while reaching for her wine glass. Taking a sip, and swallowing, she looked up at Brent again as she pushed her glasses up on her nose. "Well, I....uhm....goodbye!" Was all she could manage while he was staring at her like that. Beside her, Nikky looked away and was trying not to laugh as Kassidy visibly did a facepalm and did actually laugh. "What?" Lindsay asked when Kassidy dropped her hand back to the table and smiled at her before lifting her gaze up to Brent."It's nice to know that someone is looking out for us, Brent, and Lindsay especially feels extra secure in that knowledge. Keep up the good work!" She smiled before dropping her gaze from his and meeting Lindsay's eyes with a wink. Lindsay blushed slightly as she gave Kassidy a small glare and a none to gentle kick to the shin under the table. "Oww! What was that for?" Kassidy asked with a feigned look of innocence on her face before chuckling at the brief glare of irritation Lindsay shot at her."Reasons." Was all Lindsay said before looking away from Kassidy and glancing back up to Brent with a rather shy smile.Just outside of the Bubble & Squeak, Andrea "Andie" Strange and Alexandra "Alex" Strange, sisters to one Stefanie Strange, were about to enter the bar when they saw a young woman exit the establishment and walk over to a nearby bench to sit down and light a cig. Looking at each other questioningly then back at the woman, they saw the strong resemblance she had to a certain someone else they knew from a few years ago. Tilting her head to the side, Alex studied the woman for a moment through narrowed eyes. Andie arched an eyebrow as she, too, studied the woman. Leaning closer to Alex, she spoke quietly. "That's not....""No, but she sure looks a hell of a lot like her." Alex replied with a somewhat thoughtful look on her face before turning to Andie with pursed lips as she folded her arms across her chest. "So tell me again...why are you dragging me to a bar on stripper night.""We're going to have a few drinks, see some hot dancers shakin' their thang, and have some fun, dammit!" Andie stated with determination and some amusement showing in her eyes as she walked toward the door. Shaking her head and smiling, Alex followed as they both entered the cantina and made their way to the bar to order their drinks.-------------------------------------------------------------------------------Private Bar - Stefanie & SamaelStefanie simply nodded when Samael asked if there was more to the story of her and Crystal. He was understanding when he commented on the fact that she had meant a lot to Stefanie as he reached out and gently traced the tattoo on her left wrist. She couldn't deny the little shiver that went up and down her spine at the innocent contact, or the warmth of his touch, before he pulled his hand away and took a drink of his scotch. Looking down at the tattoo, she remembered back to when she had came into the kitchen of the apartment she and Crystal shared on Coruscant and found Crystal sitting at the kitchen island designing it on a piece of paper. Their initials at the top brought a smile to her face and when she asked what "per sempre" meant and Crystal answered "Forever.", it almost made her cry. Two days later, on her nineteenth birthday, she made the picture Crystal had drawn more permanent by having it tattooed on her wrist. That was when she thought they really would be together "forever". She had no inkling of how wrong she would be just a few short years later on that fateful night when she left her life, and her love, behind on Coruscant with nothing more than a short banthashit explanation hand written on the back of the very same piece of paper that tattoo design was on.
Pushing those thoughts to the back of her mind, she met his gaze with a bit of cynicism in her eyes. "Yes they're our initials. I got it nine years ago when I used to believe in things lasting for forever. I couldn't bring myself to have it removed, and probably never will, because I want to have a reminder of happier times....before everything fell apart."She looked away briefly as she took a drink from her glass then looked back at him pondering what he had told her about himself."No, Doc, there will be no cross examination here." Stefanie replied with a genuine laugh. The glimmer of sadness was now gone from her eyes and she seemed to be happy listening to his explanation of his heritage, his likes and dislikes, even his quip about knowing who to call to take on his defense should he ever need it. She even grinned teasingly when he asked if she wanted more to drink and promised that he wasn't trying to get her drunk, and if she did get drunk then he would make sure she got home safely. Holding up her glass, she watched as he refilled it with the Corellian Whiskey she liked. Taking a sip of the amber colored liquor, she thanked him and set the glass back down in front of her with a half smile."So....why did you want to open a night club?" She arched a questioning eyebrow as she eyed him across the surface of the bar.

Brion, a six feet guy, athletic build weighing approximately 173 pounds, was walking towards Bubble & Squeak, and right before him he had noticed one of his coworkers, actually his coworker and her sister, who were sisters to the senior partner of the firm he worked for. Accelerating his pace a little to catch up on the Strange sisters, he had overheard what Andie had said. He could not help but to quip at that teasingly. "Way to burst my bubble, sweet eyes, and here I thought you wanted to see me shaking my thang." Brion smiled and just looked at her with an amused expression before turning his attention to the other Strange sister. "Hi, I am Brion."
With that said, he walked inside of the bar after holding the door open for the sisters and walked up straight towards the counter standing next to Andrea with an arched eyebrow, but he also looked at Alex with a genuine friendly smile. "So tell me, what will it be for you two, because I am paying this round." He told them before glancing around the bar and noticing that at least Kassidy, and Lindsay were there along with Nikky but Stefanie was no where in sight.
"A Corellian Twister for me, and whatever these two lovely ladies want, it's on me." Brion told the barkeep and turned around to lean against the counter and just looked at Andie dubiously, and playfully. "So, hot dancers huh, hoping to score tonight, Strange, or just one of your ways to make me all jealous? And here I thought you and I had something special... I have to up my game then, huh?" Brion might have sounded very serious right now, in how he interacted with her, for those who didn't know the relationship he had with Andie, but this was just how they often spoke to one another. And yes, he enjoyed flirting with her, and besides, he also always had fun talking to her anyways...

Main Bar
She was, Chloe, of course entitled to her thoughts, not that he cared that much to be honest, because he knew where his loyalties lied and he always honored his duty. Although when she said that the drinks were going to be on her, it wasn’t necessary but he wasn’t going to contradict anything at all at this point since he was still currently performing a job which was to keep an eye out for troubles.
Insofar everything seemed to be fine, and he was still keeping an eye out on the traffic, the people coming in and out of the bar, and right now, the Junior partners of the P.M.S. firm had just walked in. Kyle inclined his head as a greeting before looking over the other woman with a smile and he just returned to sipping his drink silently and looking over to where Brent was, and that was with the table over there…
Private Bar
“Are you sure?” Samael asked teasingly when Stefanie told him that this wasn’t going to be a cross-examination, and no it wasn’t the case, that much he admitted, it was more just them exchanging with one another, and truth be told, it was a good talk, conversation he was having right now with Stefanie. Plus, her laughing softly and smiling, it was endearing, and he certainly preferred to be seeing her that way.
Samael put the bottles aside after he poured the drinks to their glasses, and he kept leaning against the counter still facing her the whole time. Her question was a good one, and that was something that perhaps he could use to his advantage to reply to. What she had told him earlier about things lasting, or not lasting forever, which certainly had caught his attention. He had seen that she really had been affected by that, and by what had happened back then between her and Crystal Kayne. Samael said nothing about that, and truth be told maybe it would be an unwelcomed statement.
So, Samael just decided that he would reply to that question of hers very honestly, it even made him smile warmly. “For the fun of it. Also because when you have seen a lot in your life, you want to experience a lot of positive things.” He replied thoughtfully before picking his glass and taking a sip of his scotch, he kept the glass in between his hands and continued to look at her with a thoughtful but also knowing smile. “But seriously though? Because just like you, I have chased, and am still chasing that forever thing, but for my case, it’s just to be happy in the things I do, and having a nightclub, in a way it’s something I can control on a day to day basis without any so much shackles, I suppose that I just want to have something for myself right now, live for myself also. You know the deal? Sure I do work, and far from me to changing that, but I also need this hobby, I guess.” Maybe he wasn’t making that much sense to her, but for him it did make a lot of sense.
“Plus, a place where more debaucheries can happen, who would say no to that?” Samael laughed at the thought, and shook his head before taking another sip of his drink and he closed his eyes momentarily before glancing towards the closed door of the bar, he recognized someone that had just come inside, and that looked like the youngest sister of Stefanie. “As much as I would love to spend more time with you, Stefanie, and that yes preferably just you and I right now, are you ready to head back there, or did you want me to still keep you here?” Samael asked her teasingly with a warm smile before tilting his head with an arched dubious eyebrow.

Post by Lorelei Valentine on Oct 2, 2016 12:27:10 GMT -8
Lorelei Valentine, the current Assistant District Attorney for Nystao, was currently sitting by the bar alone. She had been sipping her drink, not really in that much of a mood of socializing, sometimes she just enjoyed sitting there and have a drink before going home, nothing more nothing less. Though the main reason she had been here was to watch the dancers, and one in particular, but that show had ended, and she had seen that they had been more concentrated on the lawyers of P.M.S. law firm, after a round of applause from the doctors she had heard about, but wasn't intimately acquainted with. Lei wasn't wearing her usual attire for work, instead she had her hair up in a ponytail, her bangs cut in the middle framing her face, and also she was just casually dressed. Drink in hand, not so much paying attention to the ongoings around her, she pushed the empty glass on the counter, and just when she was about to order another and final one, she overheard someone speaking in her proximity.
That was a last name she recognized... Strange.
Looking at her side and recognizing one of the Strange sisters, clearly she knew that it couldn't have been that Strange senior partner, for she was off with one of the doctors, it was clearly the younger sister, who had an affinity to take on the defense on some cases she had prosecuted in the past. No animosity there from Lei at least, work was work and this was just downtime.
"Well, well, more lawyers from Payne, Mildhurt, and Strange law firm." Lei said with an amused, and friendly tone, she wasn't wearing any make up right now, and she wasn't sporting her usual eye glasses she seemed to always have around the courthouse. It would amuse her in fact, if they didn't recognize her immediately, but that would just be a little funny interlude. Not that it would really be bothersome, but sometimes she did like not being referred at the ADA, or that bitch who prosecuted and tossed people into jail, at least those deserved it. She always took on cases where she knew without any shadow of doubts the one standing on trial was guilty of the offense he, or she, was charged with. "I take it you are all here to celebrate that successful deal you have managed? Congratulations by the way." Lei, of course, knew about the licenses for the future nightclub that was going to open, she had seen some of those requests and approved a few when she had been consulted.
Finally looking over that third person, she actually did not know, Lei smiled and inclined her head in a friendly manner. "Lorelei Valentine, but please call me Lei, and I know Counselor Hunter said that this round is on him, but if you'll allow me to buy you the second round..." This time mainly she was looking at Andrea, and straight into her eyes as she spoke, she smiled warmly and knowingly, "Consider it as me congratulating you, I'll even extend the rounds to your senior partners?"

Bubble & Squeak - Main Bar Pursing her lips, there was an amused sparkle in Kassidy's eyes as she looked at Wilhelm beside her. "We really need to work on your pick up lines, Bot-man." She quipped while picking up her glass again to take another drink before looking up and gazing around the bar in time to see Brent "Hawk-Eye" Dalton, one of the security personnel for Wilhelm and Samael, approach the table with his gaze on Lindsay as he spoke. Well, if you're offering your one-on-one services, then by all means Counsellor. I would be happy to work on them, and other things, with you... He was pretty sure she would not say yes, at least not tonight anyway. Or if she did, it would certainly not make it as far as the bedroom, that was for sure. Nor would he want it too. If he won tonight, it would be a hollow victory. And he wanted more with KassidyBubble & Squeak - Main Bar Lindsay looked up, meeting his gaze, just in time to see the wink he gave her after he spoke. Momentarily speechless, and blushing a little, she glanced away quickly while reaching for her wine glass. Taking a sip, and swallowing, she looked up at Brent again as she pushed her glasses up on her nose. "Well, I....uhm....goodbye!" Was all she could manage while he was staring at her like that. Beside her, Nikky looked away and was trying not to laugh as Kassidy visibly did a facepalm and did actually laugh. "What?" Lindsay asked when Kassidy dropped her hand back to the table and smiled at her before lifting her gaze up to Brent."It's nice to know that someone is looking out for us, Brent, and Lindsay especially feels extra secure in that knowledge. Keep up the good work!" She smiled before dropping her gaze from his and meeting Lindsay's eyes across the table with a wink.

Kassidy asked with a feigned look of innocence on her face before chuckling at the brief glare of irritation Lindsay shot at her."Reasons." Was all Lindsay said before looking away from Kassidy and glancing back up to Brent with a rather shy smile. Why don't you join us for a drink Hawk-eye? =Lieke Van Buuren=You can have my seat, I need to go check up on something. I'll catch you all later... Well... if you say so...Wilhelm gave a smile to Lieke then as she rose from her seat, whilst pushing Brent down into it. She smiled to Kassidy then and gave a wink=Lieke Van Buuren=I do say so. Have a lovely evening. Lieke then waved and disappeared off into the crowd then, as Brent turned to look over at Lindsay then, smiling at her. It was a little unusual, but he was thankful for the opportunity that Wilhelm and his sister had just given himLooks like I'll be staying around a little longer... |

Bubble & Squeak - Main Bar
Just before going inside the cantina, Andie turned to look behind her when she heard footsteps and a familiar voice. Alex also paused, turning with an arched eyebrow and looking at her sister, while a man approached them speaking in a teasing manner to Andie saying that he thought she was here to see him shake his thang before switching his gaze to Alex and introducing himself. To Andie the man was very familiar because they worked together at the Payne, Mildhurt, & Strange law firm and they always had good harmless fun teasing and flirting with each other. Smiling, Andie looked up at him with a small tilt of her head.
"I'd pay good money to see you shake it, Handsome, but maybe another time. Tonight we're here to see the Hapan Heartthrobs shake their money makers." Andie quipped with a wave of her hand before continuing to speak as they entered the cantina. "Brion, I'd like you to meet mine and Stefanie's sister, Alexandra Strange. She just arrived here a couple of days ago for a visit with possible plans to stay permanently."
Smiling slightly, Alex gave him a small polite nod. "It's good to meet you, Brion....and please, call me Alex." She said as they all walked into the establishment and then toward the bar.
Andie had gotten the bartenders attention and she and Alex were about to order when Brion announced that the first round would be his treat before turning to lean against the bar top and briefly gaze out over the room. Alex ordered a Skirata's Pale Ale and Andie ordered a rum and cola as her gaze followed Brion's noticing that Kassidy, Lindsay and Nikky were siting at a table, near the dance floor, with Wilhelm and Brent, one of the men who worked for Wilhelm. She took silent note that Stefanie was not sitting with them but she knew her other sister was there, somewhere, because she had sensed her aura.
It was then that Alex leaned over, beer in hand, and whispered in Andie's ear. "So what's the deal with you and Mr. Studly McStuddington? You into him or what, little sis?" Alex asked with amusement then took a long drink from the bottle in her hand.
Andie had just taken a drink from her glass when Alex spoke, asking her about Brion. Trying not to choke with laughter, Andie swallowed the liquor in her mouth before shooting a half shocked, half amused look at her sister while whispering in return. "Really, Alex? Studly McStuddington? You surprise me sometimes, you know that? I can't believe you really just called him that. Though, he would probably laugh at it, too." Andie gave a lighthearted chuckle before continuing. "As for being 'into him'....I like him. He's smart, witty, charming, good looking, and a damn good lawyer. He's also a gentleman, despite how it may seem with his blatant flirting with me. Which, if you haven't noticed, I do return the flirtation. It's completely harmless and something we've always done for as long as we've known each other."
"Touché, Andiekins." Alex smiled to herself while taking another drink of her beer and contemplating the fact that Andie just might be more into Brion than she was claiming, or even realized, at the moment. She knew Andie didn't interact with just anyone in the way she interacted with him so Alex suspected there may be something else there that neither one was admitting at this point in time. Deep down inside she hoped it did turn into something more because she wanted to see Andie happy, and right now it seemed like Brion was the one making her little sister smile happily with his confident, easy going, playful banter - plus he seemed like a decent enough guy.
When Brion returned his gaze to Andie and Alex again, he picked up where he'd left off playfully teasing Andie.
Laughing, Andie leaned her back against the bar and eyed him with a smirk. "Sweetie, if I were hoping to score tonight then I damn sure wouldn't have come here with my somewhat overprotective older sister, so there is nothing for you to be jealous of....and we do have something special. It's called sarcasm and innuendo." She grinned with a wink as she took another drink.
Alex feigned a shock look at the "overprotective older sister" comment but then laughed as she, too, took another drink of her beer. She was beginning to relax a little bit as her eyes scanned the room noting, with a slight frown that quickly disappeared, the fact that Stefanie still wasn't present at the table with Kassidy, Lindsay, the other younger woman, Nikky, and their friends. Alex knew from talking with Andie earlier that Nikky was sort of a protege to Kassidy, Lindsay, and Stefanie - moreso Stefanie's protege since the young woman chose to go into the field of defense law which was Stefanie's specialty. She also knew her twin was somewhere in the vicinity because she could feel her through their connection. Pursing her lips for a moment, she focused her attention back to Andie and Brion and another woman who had just begun speaking to them.
Andie turned her body a little when she heard another familiar voice addressing them and saw a blonde woman sitting just a seat or two down from where they were standing. She almost didn't recognize the other woman in the dim lighting and because of the casual way the woman was dressed but the realization soon hit her that it was Nystao's ADA, Lorelei Valentine.
"Well I don't know about you two, or them..." Andie nodded toward the table where Kassidy, Lindsay and Nikky sat before finishing the last of the drink in her hand and setting the glass on the bar then smiled and continued in a lighthearted tone. "...but I can't turn down an offer of a celebratory drink."
Alex arched a curious eyebrow, as she placed her empty beer bottle on the bar next to Andie's glass, when Lei spoke again and introduced herself to her. Smiling in return, Alex tilted her head a little to the side, noticing the way Lei looked at Andie, but remained silent on that matter for now. Before she could speak, Andie, while meeting Lei's gaze, spoke up instead.
"Lei, this is my sister Alexandra. Lei is Nystao's ADA extraordinaire." She explained as she glanced over to Alex then back to Lei with a tiny smirk.
Nodding in acknowledgement, Alex smiled at Lei. "Nice to meet you, Lei, and much like Andie....I think I'll take you up on that drink."
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Over at the table, Lindsay had gotten over her initial bout of shy embarrassment and was silently contemplating what was happening when Wil invited Brent to have a drink with them as his sister Lieke stood up from the table and informed Brent that he could have her seat. Nikky, too, had excused herself to go to the ladies room and left the table following behind Lieke for a few steps before veering off toward the restrooms. Meanwhile, Kassidy could see that Lindsay was seriously deep in though and leaned over to whisper in her friends ear. "Sweetie, relax. It's just a drink with the man. Nothing more, nothing less. I'm sorry if I made it seem like I meant it to be otherwise."
Casting a side glance at Kassidy, Lindsay pursed her lips with a small almost unnoticeable nod as she whispered in return. "You're right. It's just a drink and there's no harm in that."
Straightening up, Lindsay met Brent's gaze with a slight smile. "I'm glad you could stay and have a drink with us, Brent. It's nice to sit and relax after a full day of work." She commented with a light friendly tone as the server stopped by and collected some of the empty bottles and glasses from the table.
Kassidy smiled inwardly before turning her attention to Wil with an amused grin. "The pick up lines we can definitely work on, Wil." She quipped with a cheerful chuckle. "As for the 'other things'....why don't we wait and see about those?" There was a hint of seriousness in her otherwise light tone.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Private Bar - Stefanie & Samael
Stefanie listened intently to every word Samael said about the night club being a hobby and something he wanted to do for himself right now. It was a way for him to have some control on a daily basis and she could certainly relate to the need to be in control of your own life, or business. Though in Stefanie's case she, more often than not, tried to control every waking moment in her own life and sometimes there were heartbreaking consequences such as was the case with Crystal Kayne and their lost 'forever'.
She pushed those thoughts to the back of her mind as she took a drink of her whiskey and smiled when Samael finished speaking. "For the fun of it, eh? Well I certainly can't fault you for that, Saam." She said as she met his gaze while idly running a forefinger around the rim of her glass. "I do understand the need to be able to control something, to have something you can call your own. Apparently I can be very controlling according to certain people. I don't even realize it sometimes, until someone points it out." She gave a small chuckle as she rose the glass to her lips again and finished the contents within. Setting it back on the bar, she looked at him and continued with a teasing tone. "A place for more debaucheries? Now why does that not surprise me?"
Pausing once more, Stefanie pursed her lips and was silent for a moment with a thoughtful look on her face. She had sensed when Andie and Alex had entered the cantina a few minutes before but had chosen to ignore it at the time. She wasn't sure she wanted to see either of her sisters right now, though she didn't sense any animosity coming from Alex. Instead she sensed a feeling of amusement coming from her twin. Arching an eyebrow, her pale eyes met his blue ones. "I think I'd rather stay right here for the time being, Doc....besides, where else am I going to get my own private bartender who will keep my glass full without having to be asked?" She held up her glass with a playful sparkle in her eyes and dimpled grin.

Andie always had something witty to say back to him, she always had a come back, and that was one of the things he loved about her. The two of them had that type of relationship, no hazy business, all in the name of sarcasm and innuendo like she had mentioned. Clearly this was the reason why he still had a smile plastered on his face, even when ADA Valentine addressed them. If he didn't know any better, something told him that Lei was looking at Andie the way he usually did whenever they were together. First things first though, a reply to Andie after her quip concerning their special relationship. "Sweet eyes, is that really just the only thing you and I both have?" Brion asked her teasingly before nudging her playfully. "And here I thought it was an undying devotion and appreciation of each other's assets, but I guess that yes you are right, sarcasm and innuendo is included in that package." Winking at her playfully and laughing softly as he downed his drink, Brion focused his attention onto Lorelei with a knowing and grateful smile. "This might be my sole and unique chance to be bought a drink by the ADA, so yes please." Smiling once more and putting his glass down on the counter, he scanned the area again noticing that indeed Stefanie had not returned yet.
And that was then and there he had noticed where Mazikeen was positioned... "Hey, look, Maze is there." He nodded in the direction of Dr. Canaan's bodyguard? Assistant? Trusted friend? Brion had no idea, but he knew that while it may not make sense to Alex at all, on who might be Maze and all, Andie would understand. If Stefanie wasn't here, there was a big chance that Stefanie might be behind that door Mazikeen is guarding.
But that was none of his business, instead, he figured he'd speak with Alex or at least get to know her maybe, and one thing was for sure. "Hey, Alex?" He called out softly and actually moved position and just stood in front of both of the Strange sisters herewith present. "It's really nice to finally meet you, Andie has been pretty excited when she found out that you had decided to make the trip here." Maybe he was playing nice, or maybe he was trying to rack in some points with Andie's sister who she described as overprotective. Brion just knew that he might have made the first bad impression when he just flirted with Andie to begin with. But how could he not when their relationship was majorly and often based on that?
"Here is me actually hoping you are staying long here, or permanently?" Brion asked dubiously but at the same time he really didn't want to pry that much so to speak. He just knew that for Andie, having her sisters here made here happy even if he also was aware that there was some tension between Alex and Stef, but that wasn't something he was going to bring up anyways. Instead he watched momentarily Andie and smiled warmly before turning his attention back to Alex. "She'd really be happy..." Nodding and smiling once more, Brion stepped back giving her back some space as maybe Alex didn't like people being all over her grind and he just leaned back against the bar once more. "Beautiful, you reckon I should comm Nash, and Stephen, or nah?" Smirking inwardly at the thought as he could tell that there had been a brief exchange there between Kassidy, and Lindsay, honestly either way, he wondered if not only he should be comming Nash, but also Stephen whom both where the Force knew where...

Nash W. Leed, one of the junior partners of the law firm he worked for, who usually more often than not in a business suit, tonight he wasn’t. For one because this wasn’t really a business meeting, and second well truth be told? It took him a while to actually consider heading here, it was thanks to some convincing from another co-worker of his that finally made him cave in. Thus here Nash was, in Bubble and Squeak Cantina, casually dressed, who would have thought?
The first thing he did the moment he walked into the cantina it was to visually look for the people he knew was going to be herewith present. He knew that mostly everyone was going to be, it was a celebration. There was Andie, Brion, but also the Nystao’s ADA, and then there was that other woman, she had a familiarity. Nodding in their direction at the bar, Nash smiled briefly before scanning the area once more and finally finding two of the senior partners of P.M.S. law firm with a doctor and someone from their security detail, if Nash wasn’t mistaken.
Stefanie wasn’t around, but no bother at all, Nash just walked up the bar and smiled warmly. “I know what you are going to say, Hunter, spare me the shock.” Nash playfully said before inclining his head to the people he knew, at least he relatively knew.
“Greetings. Nash Leed,” He mainly said for the unknown woman to him benefit whom was Alexandra. She and Andie looked alike, this must have been her sister, the other one that is. He did hear some talks here and there anyways, he did work with both of the lawyers here. “I work with them.” Nash explained with a friendly smile before looking at the bartender but before ordering, He noticed that the waiter had collected all glasses, and just went ahead ordering a Noghri wine for Lindsay, he knew that she liked that drink anyways, and some chips to munch on before ordering a club soda for him.
“I’ll see you guys in a moment?” Said Nash with a knowing smile before inclining his head once more and even smiled a friendly smile to Lorelei Valentine as he finally went off towards the table were Lindsay was sitting, putting the wine down in front of her, like he would usually do for her coffee in the morning but also the chips, Nash looked down in her direction and smiled.
“Hi. . .” Nash softly said and even looked at Kassidy with a smile mouthing a greeting to her as she was busy with Dr. Van Buuren. Ultimately his gaze returned to Lindsay, after he greeted Brent, and Wil as well.

The constant flirting between Andrea and Brion wasn't news to Lei. She was quite aware that those two often addressed one another in such ways, which obviously made her question several times the relationship those two truly had with one another. It wasn't lost on her, and at the same time though it did not leave her defeated. She believed in seeing was believing, and insofar she had never seen those two kissing, or say those infamous words of 'I love you'. Smiling warmly when Andrea addressed her first, Lei laughed softly and inclined her head acknowledging the words, before focusing her attention at both Brion, and the one she had come to know as Alexandra... "Likewise, Alexandra. Another Strange, dare I ask, another lawyer too?" Grinning at the thought, and wondering if just like Stefanie and Andrea, Alexandra's specialty was defense, Lei wouldn't be too surprise, nor would she be shocked with the coincidences...
Though, lifting her hand in the bartender's direction, or she was about to catch his attention, someone got there first. Another lawyer from P.M.S. law firm. Not surprised again, it was indeed a celebration. "Counselor Leed." She greeted him after his brief exchange with not only Brion, but also the bartender before he went off to the table over there, actually straight to Lindsay. "Well, let's get you those drinks, then." Finally catching the bartender and requesting another round for the Strange sisters but also Brion, Lei asked for another refill of hers and paid for the beverages but also added a few more credit chips with instructions that it would be for the next round at the table there where two of the senior partners were sitting.
"By the way, if you want something to munch on as well, please don't hesitate, I believe that Counselor Leed had a good idea there." She commented thoughtfully, not that she really asked for anything but just peanuts to begin with as truth be told she didn't plan to stay late here. She needed to just have some peaceful time for herself, let her hair down, and just have a drink. "Will I be regularly seeing you in court as well, Alexandra? Or I was completely off course with my assumption that you might be another lawyer like both of your sisters?" Smiling at her statement and looking from Alex to Andie this time, she could not help but to tell her teasingly. "Nystao's ADA extraordinaire, eh? I'll thank that as a compliment and will even drink to that after telling you thanks." Winking playfully before taking a sip of her drink, Lei added on soon after. "If only you and I weren't on opposing sides from time to time. I suppose we'll have to find a middle ground there, won't we?"

Private Bar — Stefanie & Samael
Samael kept his eyes onto the lawyer before him, the whole time she spoke, he only had his gaze turned in her direction. If one looked closely, he truly was having a good time just speaking with Stefanie. Usually he wasn’t the kind of man who would just sit down and speak a long while about himself, about the other person, this was clearly different for him, and clearly he also did not consider her the way he would usually consider the ones he called Brittanies. He didn’t know their names, and quite honestly? He didn’t care.
This was very different and he found himself enjoying himself to say the least, and to think that he didn’t even consider this like a consult he would usually have back at RDMC. No, he certainly did not consider Stefanie Strange as a patient. Instead, actually, he viewed her as a potential friend, someone who needed to have attentive ears to listen. He certainly did not mind being that person, right here, right now and even in the future.
“While it may be so,” Samael began to say referencing her apparent need to control. She must have had reasons. “I happen to believe that there is a reason for it all. Sure you may tell me that maybe it’s because you are a lawyer, but surely it’s because of a deep rooted reason that you, and myself, mind you, have a tendency to want to control things.” Smiling and nodding, he perfectly admitted that about himself, for Stefanie, maybe it was recent, and maybe it was something that was difficult to actually delve into and tackle at present time.
Maybe, just another maybe, and those maybes, Samael didn’t want to get into, she did not ask for a consult. Stefanie just needed someone to listen right now, and he clearly was willing to do so. “But you know what? I have found that refocusing that streak of mine, to much Mazikeen’s dismay occurs frequently, supposedly with me, onto something else, hence the club, avoids me the lecture when I don’t feel like it.” Chuckling and shaking at the thought, Samael downed his last drink and grinned as he put his glass down. “Obviously you can perhaps perceive that I can be stubborn too. So I redirect my control in owning a club, a place of debaucheries, where no one will judge, which by your own admission doesn’t surprise you about myself. But truly I am not that bad, you know.”.
Teasing aside, Samael had revealed a few things about himself, and more, and it didn’t matter much to him anyways. After all, again by her own admission she could be controlling too, and therefore for that one it was safe to assume that she could also be stubborn. Though for now, what actually rather surprised him was the fact that she’d rather stay here than to head back to the main bar, to where her sister…
Frowning at the thought and glancing over the door’s direction of the private bar, the more he concentrated and spread his awareness outside, there was someone else that seemed to share the Strange familiarity.
Not delving into that, or Stefanie’s denial to return back there, where obviously her sisters were, Samael returned his undivided attention onto her and grinned slightly. “You think or you want?” Something told him that probably she was perhaps aware that he might pick up on that hence why her playful comment about a private bartender, but not really pressing the issue, he picked up the Corellian whiskey bottle and poured some into her glass, before adding more ice in there. “Stefanie, between you and I, I am sure that many have considered being your private bartender, and more for the evening. I am sure that if I asked anyone outside of this place, they would all line up. You are a beautiful woman after all. But alas and too bad for them, I am the lucky one, so I shall be your private bartender for the remainder of the evening, and I shall keep your glass full, but also shall make sure that you get home safely if you have drunk a lot.”
Smiling playfully at her, after his teasing statement, Samael refilled his own glass with scotch and clinked his glass with hers. “To us two being unaware of being controlling from time to time and to keeping our glasses full in having a great completed business together.” He kept his glass up and pursed his lips thoughtfully looking at her with an arched eyebrow. “Unless you had another toast in mind, then I am all ears?”

Wilhelm always enjoyed these games with Kassidy. One part playful and one part serious. And they both were able to tell where the humour ended and the true feelings behind their words began. Not that they had yet to acknowledge as such with words or actions. But that time would come soon enough
Well, if that is the case, shall we see about those things at your place, or at mine? Because, I mean, I'm certainly flexible either way Kase...
He winked at her then, with a mix of humour and seriousness in his tone. For now, the game was still afoot, and so some light hearted banter was called for. Whether that was the case later, was an entirely different story.
Brent gave Lindsay a reassuring smile as she seemed to almost freeze up, before Kase managed to relax her. She put a lot of thought into things she did. Sometimes, like this one, it was a little too much thought. But he knew it made her all the better at her job. And helped her balance out Kase and Stef in the lawyer trio. He quickly whispered his drink order to the server, who returned a moment later with a whiskey and cola drink
Likewise. Working for Wilhelm and Samael really does make you appreciate the time off that you get... Though, I certainly can't complain about the assignments I get put on... especially when I'm protecting someone as lovely as you...
Brent turned his attention to Nash then, as the man came over to their table with a drink and a snack for Lindsay. He had seen the man around Lindsay a lot. He could see that there was something going on between them. Whether they both knew that, was an entirely different story. For the time being though, the man seemed quite content playing the helpful subordinate, attending to his bosses needs
Welcome to the party Nash. I must say, it's strange not seeing you in a suit...
This booth was about to become very cramped at this rate. Wilhelm nodded to a server, before making a hand gesture meant to indicate that more chairs were needed. Something rectified a moment later as a seat was placed in front of the booth table, with Wilhelm motioning from Nash to it
Please... Have a seat...
