C0cking a brow at her in amusement, Julian pulled the necessary bills out to pay for their beverages, as well as a tip for the waiter's trouble. Handing them to the waiter, he thanked them before crossing his arms on the table and saying, "So, Kitty, what brought on this whole night-of-inebriation?" On this topic, he was truly curious.

Kitty sighed and also leaned forward on the table. "My friend Lorna is adjusting." She explained, gesturing toward the bar. "And I don't normally do the whole club scene..." She stopped short of justifying how much she had already had to drink, shrugging instead as a means of concluding the thought.

He nodded slowly. "Yeah, I didn't think so," he replied. "I mean about the club thing. You don't seem the type."

Kitty frowned. "What is that supposed to mean?" She asked, sounding only slightly offended. Before he could answer, the waiter appeared with their drinks. Kitty drank eagerly from this, her fourth bottle of beer.

Julian thanked the waiter again before sipping his own drink, slightly more reserved than Kitty, who seemed to be sucking down her Corona and lime. He smirked. "Nothing," he chuckled in reply to her question.

Setting the half empty beer bottle on the table, but not taking her hand away, she asked, "How did you find out about this place?" She rested her head awkwardly on one shoulder, suddenly unsure of her ability to hold it up anymore.

He smirked with a shrug. "I have my ways," he replied cryptically, taking a long swig of his cocktail.

The room swam in Kitty's field of vision. "Julian?" She said in a pathetic voice, "I think I've had too much to drink."

Chuckling, Julian scooted his chair closer to her, plucking the half filled bottle of beer from her grasp. "Thank you," he said, raising it and moving it out of her reach. "I told you." He smirked, but put a friendly arm around her shoulder, pulling her closer to him. "Close your eyes and rest your head on my shoulder. You'll be all right."

Kitty sighed heavily and rested her head on Julian's shoulder. She closed her eyes briefly, but that only made the spinning worse. She couldn't believe she had thought Julian was a bad guy.

He rubbed her forearm tenderly, making soft sounds of encouragement as she slowly came to trust him. Mentally, he smirked. Perfect.

Kitty relaxed against Julian's shoulder. The pounding bass of the music was suddenly replaced with the smooth sounds of a piano. It was a slow song, and Kitty thought that gave her a better chance of not falling down. "You still want to dance?" She asked.

Still the charmer, Julian murmured softly, "Only if you're up to it."

Kitty raised her head, smiling. "I think I can manage one song." She said, but she wasn't sure.

He smiled as though he were genuinely glad to know she could, and stood up, offering her his hand. "No time like the present, then," he said.
