Amena looked up at him and smiled softly. He wanted to get to know her, which was a first in a very long time. He was interested in hearing her words rather than looking at her, again a first in a long time. Though his staring was quite uncomfortable, as she did not like being stared at. Maybe she could talk to him about that later. She said "I'm originally from Ireland. I'd really like to go back there some time, but my family is probably long gone."

"What about you? You seem to have an English accent so I'm assuming England; but your name sounds more Russian or German." She did not keep anything back, as her blunt attitude could be precieved. It was probably a good thing she turned the conversation onto him. She didn't like talking about herself much so changing the attention onto someone else was preferrable. 

She ordered just a simple glass of whiskey when the bartender came to get their orders. She was pleasantly surprised by herself when she let him order for her though. Quite the feat if her exhusbands and boyfriends were anything to go by. She looked up at Alexey, awaiting her answer.
