Bounding onto the stool in front of her drink, Suki took a moment to slug down the entire contents of her water glass. Leaning close to Fallon's ear so she would not have to scream she tried to explain the situation.
"Amanda is a groupie. She hangs out at the HoP to be bitten. I believe she was once a familiar but it ended badly, for the vamp somehow. So now she gets her fix any way possible. Also she looked so sad an lonely over there, I couldn't help but bring her over even if its only to help her enjoy the night. I hate to see people I know be miserable."
Suki saw this more as a way to help Amanda than Fallon, since she knew that the vampire had food at home in various forms and apparently the friendly librarian provided as well. So she listened carefully about the intracacies of the two women, learning and trying to understand. It seemed to be pretty much what she did herself. Try to help the people she cared about. Ana had done that for Fallon at a particularly needed time. Suki understood that and how it could forge a strong bond between the two.
Still she had just a few words of caution. "Thats so sweet of her to help. Just be carefull, I dont think you want a familiar out of a friend accidentally."
Suki had the sense to end her warning there. Hopefully the vampire would caution her friend to stop speaking so much about things that could be overheard or being too obvious about some things. Sipping her drink she wondered if Cyrus knew about these two women and then decided it was not her place to speak of it unless she knew something bad was afoot.
Making Heads Turn
Swiftly the ladies found themselves in front of the very exclusive club that boasted several burly security guards and a long line to get in. Giggling amongst themselves as Ginger pulled the rear door up to the entrance and raced around to open it for the ladies. Suki emerged first, scanning the area carefully and winking at James. Moving carefully to the side, out of the way for Fallon and Ana to emerge as she continued to scan the crowd who gawked at them. Gracefully the other ladies emerged and Ginger shut the door after promising to return at her call.
Swaying up to James with a mysterious smile, she hoped the other ladies followed her. "How are you tonight James?"
"Much better now that your here pretty Suki. And what lovely companions you have brought too." His gruff voice was quiet but loud enough to cause her to blush.
"Well, you did say that if I wanted to have a good time to find you, so here we are." She was barely able to keep a straight face with that one. Luckily she knew James was happily married and simply complimented women like there was no tomorrow.
His face split into a lazy satisfied smile before he answered. "I think I can accomodate three beautiful women." Rising off his stool to an impressive height before opening the door for them with a small bow.
Suki waved her friends in first before rising up on tip toe to kiss his cheek. "Thanks James. If I dont see you again, catch ya on Tuesday."
The club was ritzy, loud enough to need to speak up, but not unbearably noisy. Elegantly dressed people moved around the room like a glittering tide swirling and eddying to the music. Discrete security personel made Suki smile, the likelyhood of these people getting out of line enough to need the muscled guys was slim. Spotting an empty tall table with several stools around it had Suki making a beeline for it before it was snatched up. A waiter appeared to clean it off just as the familiar got to it. With a smile she ordered a glass of Reisling for herself before looking for her companions.

It was difficult for Fallon to understand how people seemed to be able to give of themselves the way Amanda and Ana did, but at least with Ana it made a little more sense. With Ana, and Fallon, there was more than just the biting and feeding process. The two women had begun a friendship prior to the first bite, and since then, feeding aside, they had grown even closer. Fallon loved Suki, but whether it was because of her connection to Cyrus, or the simple fact that they just didn't have the history she had with Ana, Fallon didn't think of Suki in the same way. Aishe had been Fallon's first real close friend, ever, and since then Ana had come to fill a position along side the pretty Egyptian. The two women gave Fallon something she'd hoped and wished for all her life...a feeling of belonging that her own sisters had never cared to give. It was because of all this that Fallon felt both happy to share Ana's offering with her, as well as hesitant.
But the familiar 'accident' was something Fallon was very conscious of, and she made damn sure plenty of time had elapsed before she would ever consider accepting from Ana again.
"Amanda seems very sweet, and you are too, to care about her like you do. I just find it a sad existence, but then that's my problem to deal with. If it's how she chooses to live then I have to respect it. You really don't need to worry about Ana though. I'm in no way ready for any responsibilities a familiar would bring. The relationship you and Cyrus have works wonderfully for you both, and I can't help but admire it, but it's nothing I would begin to know how to deal with at this stage of my life, thank you very much."
Fallon smiled, and winked at Suki, hoping her friend took no offense. One reason Fallon was so receptive to Suki's familiar position was that she knew Cyrus took exceptional care of Suki, giving the woman anything she needed, in exchange for the tasks she helped him with. And, she knew Suki loved her job. If she had thought for a moment that Suki was suffering, Fallon wouldn't have hesitated in bringing the matter up to Cyrus. Not that she would expect him to kowtow to her, but Cyrus was a fair man, and Fallon felt he would at least listen to anything she had to say.
No...Cyrus and Suki had very symbiotic relationship, and Fallon couldn't be happier for both of them. Besides that, as long as Cyrus was happy, Fallon was happy, and it didn't bother her in the least to know Suki provided him with things that Fallon couldn't. Fallon was completely secure in her love for Cyrus, and his for her, which was why his happiness was paramount to her.
Putting a friendly arm around Suki's shoulders, Fallon pulled her close for a soft hug. She looked out at the dance floor at Ana and Amanda and nodded.
"Looks like those two are having fun. I'm so glad this evening turned out so well...I had worried that maybe we'd all get together and just sit around and stare at the walls...but I can see now I had nothing to worry about."
She didn't voice it, because she didn't want to sound so pathetic, but Fallon was so protective of the friendships she had been developing in Nachton, that she would do almost anything in her power to prevent anything from ruining them. Like planting and nurturing flowers, she wanted to savor her friends, and hopefully watch their lives grow and intertwine together, until she was in the middle of a huge garden of people who enjoyed her as much.

Suki nodded sadly at Fallon's assessment of Amanda's lifestyle. It was sad and unfortunate. "The word from Dahlia, the House bartender, is that Amanda's boyfriend was turned and he only fed from her. Which forged a familiar bond neither was prepared for or capable of sustaining. Then apparently he just disappeared. Supposedly Amanda knows hes dead now, but that it took weeks for him to die."
The familiar was not going to mention that it had been several years since that had happened and Amanda was actually functioning much better now than she had even two months ago. Loosing ones master was apparently a very tramatic experience. If one survived it, you still never felt whole again. Suki was quite glad Cyrus was as old as he was, she did not worry quite so much about his skills at staying alive with his history.
Shaking off her moody thoughts she returned the one armed hug gently. "I think tonight was good. We will mesh better the next time until its like we have always been friends."
She could only giggle slightly at the idea of them becoming a regular gaggle. Even with all their differences the women managed to connect pretty well. Hopefully she would get to meet Aishe as well to round out the party.

Ana found that dancing with someone of her own height was an interesting treat. Rocking gently in Amanda's arms, she felt a bit out of place, but then she had just been dancing with Fallon. Or maybe it was the uncomfortable expression on her partner's face that was breaking her absorption in the music. Leaning forward, she whispered in the woman's ear, "You could have said no, when I dragged you out here, you know. I wouldn't have been upset. If you're not enjoying yourself, we can go back to the tay..."
She'd barely finished the word when the other woman replied with what sounded like a relieved huff. "Okay."
When they returned to their table, Ana saw that a fresh iced tea had been placed in the center and their empty glasses taken. She was patently trying to not question Amanda when the other woman volunteered, "Thanks but I dont know any way to make the night better than this, I am just not allowed to be myself here." The word 'here' spoken with derision and disgust, Ana felt her brow furrow in confusion. The mass of people dancing, entering the club, even drinking or necking in the dark corners (she'd spied a few couples here and there while moving on the dance floor) had such a wide variety of fashion, style, and company she couldn't imagine what Amanda considered herself to 'be' if she wasn't allowed to 'be' it at Club Eternity.
"Being here period is not really being myself. But it's nice to get out and do something different sometimes, you know?" The vapid response in Amanda's almost forceful glare had Ana imagining the other woman yelling, "Do I look like -I- care about -you?" She turned in her seat a little to look out on the dance floor and sipped occasionally from her drink.

Unable to hide the sadness from her face, when Suki recounted Amanda's history, Fallon only nodded. Though once or twice Fallon had brief thoughts about what she might do if ever she was parted from Cyrus, she never let herself think on it long enough to actually come up with any kind of plan. Somethings were better off left alone. Somethings were better avoided at all costs unless it became necessary...that way you could tell yourself it would never be an issue. But even trying to not think about it, Fallon couldn't suppress a shiver that ran up her spine.
Luckily the evening wasn't conducive to sad or morbid thoughts and Fallon was soon caught up in the gaiety again. That was until Ana and Amanda returned to the table, neither looking all that thrilled with having been dancing.
"Being here is a bit different for us all, I imagine, but I agree with you Ana...sometimes doing something different can be fun...and how do you find out if you like doing something, until you try it anyway?"
There was no way Fallon couldn't feel protective of Ana, whether it was a necessary feeling or not. Ana's statement had seemed a little defensive to Fallon, so it was natural for Fallon to try and stick up for her friend. But knowing Amanda's situation also made Fallon tread lightly towards the newcomer to the group. She didn't want to make the girl feel any worse than she already did, and would try to explain things to Ana later, so the librarian wouldn't think anything Amanda did or said was directed specifically at her.
Because Amanda now seemed to want to leave, at least the company of Ana, Fallon, and Suki, Fallon decided now would be a good time to resolve the matter Suki had presented.
"Amanda? Why don't you come with me? I could use your opinion on something..."
It was at best a very weak way to excuse themselves, but Fallon was trying to be quick instead of discreet. Taking Amanda's arm, the other woman seemed more than willing to oblige and the two walked off towards one of the back hallways. Fallon had to hope that Suki and Ana would forgive her sudden departure, but understand the reason behind it. If not, there would be more explaining to do later.

Suki could only shake her head at Amanda's actions. From lonely to thankfull to bitchy in under an hour was quite a mood swing. As she watched Fallon guide the young girl away she sighed sadly.
"Sorry about that Ana. Sometimes she can be a bit well, cranky. I had thought since she appeared to be happy to see someone she knew that her good mood would hold."
The young woman was foolish. Since Suki had not even hinted that one of her companions may be a vampire, for all Amanda knew she just offended her only chance to get the high she was addicted to. That Fallon was going to give her the one thing she wanted most was only reinforcing Amanda's bad attitude.
Finishing her water and then wiping her hands on the napkin provided she looked at Ana. "So what do you think of the club?"

"I do not think it is her fault," Ana mused as she watched Fallon guide her away. "I think she may have lost someone recently. I was probably a bit like that when I lost my last friend, upon arriving in Nachton." Her eyes got a far-away look, but then after a moment she focused on Suki. "I do not hold it against her. But perhaps she was overwhelmed, too, meeting new people in such a raucous place. The music is loud, the people are pressing and overly familiar, but with you and Fallon near me I feel safe."
She wondered if she should mention her overly curious need to know why Aishe was also in the club, as she didn't recall the Egyptian ever mentioning enjoying places like these. "I'm glad that I have you both to introduce me to clubbing. I've never done this before, and it is quite fun!" Beaming, she sipped slowly from her tea.
A sudden thought occurred to her as she set it down. Brow furrowed, she looked at Suki measuringly. "I think that, at some point, you and I need to spend some time together, I think you think we have a lot to talk about, yes?"

It was a little strange, having Amanda just follow Fallon along, when both women knew what was going to happen. At least it was strange in Fallon's book. She had never encountered anyone who WANTED her to bite and feed from her, and while it should have made Fallon's job easier, for some reason it unsettled her. Taking someone through seduction had become Fallon's staple method. It had never failed her so far, and it was so easy to turn on her charms in that way, having had several years of acting the part with Ted. Right or wrong, good or bad, what was...was...and it allowed Fallon to take care of things without guilt or remorse.
She didn't feel the need for small talk, and was thankfully blessed that Amanda didn't either. So with little fanfare or prelude, Fallon found a nice dark corner, in the back of the club, and took care of both her and Amanda in an expedient manner. The woman's compliant nature did nothing to enhance the feeding, but it did make the process go so much simpler, and before Amanda got to the point of being unable to support herself, Fallon licked the wound clean and closed, and offered a brief hug.
Had there been no familiarity between them, Fallon would have just left the other woman propped against the wall, and left. However, at Amanda's request, Fallon walked her to the door, and waited while a cab arrived to take her home. Fallon paid the driver, and tipped him generously with a promise that he would make sure Amanda got inside her home, before leaving her. Flashing a fang at him, Fallon made sure he knew what she was, in the off chance he'd bail on the agreement. Of course Fallon was all bluff, and unfortunately wouldn't have known or care to know the first thing about getting revenge if she later found out he had just dumped Amanda on her doorstep. But it seemed to Fallon that a little added insurance was worth her feeling silly for a few seconds. And from the look on the man's face, her charade seemed to have the desired effect.
Once the cab had left, Fallon made her way back to the table inside, where she was again delighted to see Ana and Suki enjoying each other's company.
"Well, Amanda seems in better spirits, but has gone home. I'm not sure this place was the best idea for her, yet some how I think her memory of it won't be horrific."
Winking at Suki, Fallon then blushed when she looked Ana's way. She would tell her spectacled friend what had happened later, but for now was a little embarrassed.
Finishing her drink, Fallon looked for and caught the eye of the waiter, who made his way to their table in record time.
"Refills?"
She asked, as she handed her empty glass over to the man.

"You are right, she did lose someone, someone vital to her life and now she carries that scar. Though some nights are better than others."
While Ana was a very inteligent and perceptive woman there was just some things Suki could not talk about. Sipping her wine she thought about how to solve this. "I would love to get to know you better Ana, but there are some things I am not at liberty to discuss. Perhaps if you had those kinds of questions to ask, you speak to Cyrus first."
Well, it was a cop out but the familiar could see no other way around it. If the librarian had questions about Suki's life with the vampires there was just no way she could answer them. Since even sitting next to someone breaking her rules was emotionally tramatic she did not even think she could get close to doing so herself. Thankfully Fallon returned before Suki could work up any anxiety over the topic.
That Amanda had gone home was not surprising. She would wallow in the feeling for at least a week before looking for her next fix. With a smile she stood and hugged the vampire. "Thanks so much. I know shes difficult but nothing is never easy."
Even though the young woman was aware of the world and more than willing to be a snack she still came with strings, her murcurial moods were just one. Looking at her mostly empty wine glass and empty water she nodded at the idea of a refill. A familiar song started playing and she danced as she stood next to the table.

Pursing her lips and moving them as if she were scratching an itch in her nose without touching it, Ana bit back sympathy tears as she replied, "I too carry such a scar, Suki, so I empathize with her... to a point. Though ours are likely different depths or different circumstances... I'm in awe of the choices she's made since incurring it, and I realize how lucky I am to have found Fallon when I did."
Her brow furrowed as Suki basically shot down any chance of Ana saying what she needed to say. Leaning over to wrap her arm about Suki's shoulder, she whispered, "I don't currently have any questions about that, Suki, I just want you to know that precautions are being taken and it never happens more often than a standard Red Cross visit would."
Straightening back up in her chair, she commented, "It was the least I could do, as her friend. Though you're right, I do believe I shall talk with him eventually. And yes, you and I should go out sometime together."
She smiled up at Fallon when the teacher returned. She found she couldn't even feign disappointment at hearing Amanda had gone home, though she was happy Fallon looked a bit less 'out of it'. "I've still barely finished my own, but please, bring another plain iced tea?"

Though she thought maybe she'd interrupted something, when she had approached the table. But because neither woman seemed unduly agitated or involved, Fallon had to consider it had either been her imagination, or whatever might have been being discussed had been resolved. In any case, it wasn't her business, and things still seemed in good spirits, so it wasn't anything she would dwell on.
"Poor thing, really wasn't difficult at all...but that kind of existence doesn't seem healthy...it might be a good thing for her if she were to seek some kind of assistance..." Fallon's interest in Amanda was only because of her connection to Suki. Had Amanda been a stranger, Fallon wouldn't have even mentioned the need for therapy being a good idea. But by her being a friend of Suki's it made her more than a stranger, and thereby falling under Fallon's concern, even if only in passing.
The drinks ordered, Fallon grinned at Suki dancing in place at the table.
"Okay...how about all of us bounce out onto the dance floor, and have a threesome?" Fallon still had music vibrating in her own feet, and needed to release some as well. Having two pretty partners would be fun and she even considered it might tickle some guys interest in Ana or Suki enough to have them approach and ask the other women to dance later. Still playing matchmaker, Fallon just wanted everyone to experience the wonder she had found in her own life.

While she was a bit sorry for misunderstanding the reason Ana wished to speak to her, Suki knew that her response would still be the same. Unless Fallon had imparted all her knowlege to the human, there were still things to worry about. Even if she had, the familiar doubted that either of them were well aware of all the ramafications or possibilities. Since the librarian had agreed to speak to Cyrus though, she kept her opinions to herself and simply replied in a quite voice.
"As long as your both ok, thats good."
In this atmosphere it was easy to throw off the serious mood. Her hips shimmied and her shoulders rolled in time to the beat. With a graceful dip her body spun in a circle.
"Dancing sounds perfect!"
Leaving the table with the hopes of fresh drinks when they returned or at least soon after they emerged from the dance floor. Of course expecting the service here to work like she did at the House was silly. Still the beat demanded dancing and they were there to acquiesce. Smiling at the two women she headed for the dance floor. Before Suki was out of sight in the crowd she stopped and turned slightly then crooked her finger in a rather piquant manner.
"As long as your both ok, thats good."
In this atmosphere it was easy to throw off the serious mood. Her hips shimmied and her shoulders rolled in time to the beat. With a graceful dip her body spun in a circle.
"Dancing sounds perfect!"
Leaving the table with the hopes of fresh drinks when they returned or at least soon after they emerged from the dance floor. Of course expecting the service here to work like she did at the House was silly. Still the beat demanded dancing and they were there to acquiesce.

Ana hoped she was imagining the quiet disbelief she heard in Suki's response, but she found herself drawn to Fallon's comments about Amanda. The older woman was right; it certainly didn't seem to be a healthy existence.
A sudden thought occurred to her - was her own choice to assist Fallon in the way that she did the start of the path to a condition similar to Amanda's? Admittedly, Ana did not know the circumstances which lead Amanda to seek out vampires to feast upon her... And Ana had voluntarily offered herself to Fallon. Wasn't that a different reason? She didn't know.
Uneasy with her unexpected bout of doubt and lack of confidence in her gnerosity and friendship, she smiled when Suki hopped up to dance. Shrugging off the boulder of unease, she smiled crookedly. "Dancing sounds great."
Following her two friends out to the dance floor, she giggled at Suki's elegant and goofy 'come hither' gesture. Remembering some of the unique dances she'd seen on TV or in the movies, she pulled her hands up before her and made a motion of pulling a rope, and stepped haltingly towards Suki - as if Suki was an anchor, and Ana was pulling a rope tied to her. Giggling, Ana wiggled her bottom while stepping in rhythm with Suki.

Feeling pleasingly fed, and just barely fuzzy from the alcohol, Fallon found herself giggling a bit more than usual. And when Suki started playing the temptress, Fallon could do nothing more than follow her, as if hypnotized. Hands over head, doing a slow shimmy, Fallon tried her best to match the seductive gyrations, but felt she was woefully inadequate. This, however, just made her giggle all that much heartier.
When she looked over to see Ana doing her mime bit, she nearly dissolved on the floor. Fortunately she wasn't quite that far gone yet, and managed to remain standing until Ana got close enough that the three were within inches of each other. Fallon then took the opportunity to 'bump' back and forth, first against Suki's hip, and then against Ana's hip, the Suki's ass, then Ana's. It was a very old dance step that Fallon had never done before, but had seen on some show once, and had always wanted to try. It was fun, even if it had the potential for being a bit lewd.
Fallon felt pretty high, and free at the moment, and not from the booze. This type of out, and out silly fun wasn't something she had experienced a lot of, so when she had the opportunity now, she really took advantage of it. Strangely, in thinking about it now, Fallon realized she needed to credit Ana for introducing her to most of it. She watched her slightly taller comrade, and wondered if she had any idea of what she had brought to Fallon's life.
Spinning slowly, Fallon glanced at Suki and wondered the same, though with Suki it was something entirely different that Fallon had been given. While Ana had shown Fallon the freedom to be uninhibited with her fun self, Suki had shown Fallon a way to gather more confidence in herself as a woman. Suki's reinforcing compliments, and instructions on how to look whatever role Fallon felt, had brought about Fallon's blossoming into the woman of style that Fallon had only dreamed about in the past. Though it was true that Cyrus' money had helped tremendously, without Suki's astute eye and understanding, Fallon might have still wound up looking either dowdy or trashy.
And even though she wasn't there, it now occurred to Fallon that Aishe had contributed to her coming into herself as well. Aishe and Cyrus both had imparted a strength to Fallon, that she had gladly accepted and was able to build up, and upon, in a way that was finally bringing her into her potential as a person.
Putting a hand around Ana's neck, and her other hand around Suki's, Fallon pulled the two women towards her, until their heads were within inches, and then kissed both women on the cheek.
"Thanks you guys...for all this...it's a marvelous night and I'm having the best time."

Suki moved nimbly to the beat, her body honed by years of martial arts and months of watching people dance at the House. Hips shimmied and shoulders dipped as the music carried her away with its throbbing beat. One song seemed to blend into the other seamlessly. At the impromptu hug and smooch, Suki smiled happily. This night was turning out to be very good despite the speedbumps and sharp curves they had navigated.
"Right back at you hon!" The semi shout was accompanied by her hand rubbing along the vampires back and a cheek kiss of her own.
While she could dance until dawn, Suki knew that the evening would need to wrap up sometime soon. Enjoying the remaining time she once more slipped into the music and danced freely.

The music seemed to go on for quite some time, with no break, but Fallon didn't mind. She had a slight buzz on from her encounter with Amanda, and coupled with the great feeling of comradery that had been building between her, Ana, and Suki, she could only think of one other person she had felt happier with.
But having a limited amount of night to play in, meant that it was nearing the time when she was going to need to think about saying good night. Of course Ana and Suki could stay and greet the dawn dancing. Fallon could not.
Though it had been understood she and Ana would continue their visit a little longer, with Amanda's assistance it wasn't going to be necessary for Ana to follow Fallon. If she wanted to stay and dance with Suki, it would be fine all around. None the less, Fallon waited until the current song began to transition into the next, and gestured to the two other women that she was returning to the table. She would wait there a short while, hoping they would follow and she could bid them a proper goodbye. But if they chose to keep dancing, she'd leave them a note on one of the napkins. Just because she had to cut her fun short didn't mean anyone else had to.

Ana was in the midst of recovering from a yawn, her eyes squinty and damp, when suddenly she felt Fallon's hand at her neck. Focusing she found herself not far from Suki's face, and suddenly felt another set of lips pressed to her cheek. She giggled lightly at first when Fallon thanked them both, then a bit louder when Suki kissed her back.
Ana leaned in and gave Fallon a gentle peck on her cheek, too, and replied with a muted shout, "Likewise," and did the same for Suki.
Her body bumped on two sides by one of her best friends, and by another who seemed to be fast becoming so, Ana smiled widely. Her carefully tended hair shaken loose by their gyrations and bouncing, she hid another face-scrunching yawn behind a hank of hair.
She felt a little relief when Fallon gestured she was returning to their table, disappointment stirred in (not shaken) that their night needed to come to an end. Arching a brow at Suki, she tilted her head towards their friend and mouthed, "Shall we?"

Sadness tinged with relief as Fallon made her way off the dance floor. Suki knew their evening was comming to a close. But it had been a good and educational evening all around so she would simply treasure the memories and look forward to the next time. At Ana's motioning the familiar nodded. The trip back to the table was not as rough as it had been earlier. Club population seemed to have gone down a body or three, which was a good thing. Once she reached the table Suki swiftly drank all the water in her glass. Looking around for the waiter she decided to go to the bar herself to settle up.
"If you are ready to head out just give me a minute to settle the tab."

Glad, really, to see the other two quickly follow, Fallon guessed it was a unanimous decision to bring the evening to a close. While she truly wouldn't have felt bad leaving alone, she felt better leaving with her friends.
She watched Suki go pay for the drinks, and had a curious thought. When was the last time she had paid for anything...physically...herself? It seemed in this day, either Cyrus, or Suki took care of things, or if Fallon was alone, whatever she needed was chosen by her, but later delivered to the house and billed to Cyrus. Even her own car was taken by one of the staff for servicing, and always had a full tank of gas. That she had come to take this part of her life for granted, now struck her as maybe not such a good thing..
For now she put the subject on a back burner. She was growing tired, still just a bit fuzzy from the alcohol, and moreso too pleased with the wonderful evening she'd had to mar it now with worries.
Leaning against the table, Fallon put an arm around Ana's waist and hugged her. She was feeling a little more demonstrative due, as well, to the evening's glow on her.
"Fun, yes? We really should make this a habit...not necessarily the dancing part, but getting together more often to do something fun like this. Maybe even make it a regular ladies night out?" Resting her temple against Ana's shoulder, Fallon smiled and waited for Suki to make her way back from the bar.

Settling the tab was easy, within a mintue she had a slip to sign for their few drinks and was on her way after tipping the bartender and waiter. Reaching the table she saw Fallon resting her head on Ana. The vampire looked somewhat tired but happy none the less. Smiling at the pair Suki waved towards the door.
"Ready to go ladies?"
Suki had spent the short span of time awaiting her tab, paging Ginger. The car should be out in front of the club soon as the trio could get through the crowd to it.
