Ilia rapped her knuckles on the counter and flashed the blonde a smile. "[color=92278f]Well, if you decide you want something else, just let me know. I'm Ilia, by the way. Enjoy your drink[/color]."  With that, she breezed away toward the center of the bar to collect more drink orders. Sky was there, mixing a drink. 

[color=00aeef]"Did you see that guy? He almost looked shocked to see me."[/color]

She glanced over her shoulder to the stage setup for live music. The band, one they hired frequently, was playing with a new vocalist. His face was vaguely familiar, but Ilia quickly glanced back to the shaker in her hand before replying to her lovely red haired friend. "[color=92278f]Maybe he was just struck speechless by your graceful tardiness and fabulous hair. You walk in and it's like a miniature sun follows you.[/color]" She gave her friend a small smirk before shrugging and answering in a more serious voice. "[color=92278f]I honestly have no clue. He looks kind of familiar, but if he was, then it wouldn't make sense for him to be so shocked that you're here. Have any missing childhood friends?[/color]"

Ilia distributed a few drinks before returning to her space next to Skylar, her mind still vaguely occupied by what she knew would happen tonight. The nervousness almost made her want to slam back a shot- if she weren't vehemently disgusted by the flavour of all alcoholic beverages, that was. As it was, she wouldn't drink any of the things she mixed to save her life, much less to calm her nerves.

She looked down at the drink she was mindlessly assembling, vaguely surprised she hadn't missed anything, before taking note of her trembling palms. Was she really that nervous? It wasn't as though she didn't know what to expect... except, she really didn't. What kind of destruction and chaos could the Beast possessed Kellen have brought about? Was Aiden still protecting the Sirenian kingdom, after all these years? 

If nothing else, she at least had to return to make sure that her few friends were safe. With a deep breath, she let some of her anxiety drift away and returned to the present. She tuned back in, hoping that Sky hadn't said anything of too great importance.
