Well, it looked like she was starting to get somewhere here. In her head, she was starting to piece together exactly what kind of persona she'd need to continue this conversation productively. The difficult part was knowing how strongly she'd put the facade forward. Not enough and he'd probably figure it out or lose interest; to much and he'd definitely know that she was faking the whole thing.

[color=D5FF00]"Agreed."[/color] With this single word, Mali shifted her weight to her left leg and rest he casted hand onto her hip, letting her right hand rest upon the countertop. She felt a bit bad for the hapless bartender; it was quite busy, he had to make a drink he had already created and he wasn't being treated very well. But she was also a bit irritated about having to wait for her drink in the first place, she couldn't show anything that Wentworth could interpret as weakness lest she lose what bit of favor she seemed to be currying from him, and to top it all off, the darker aspect of her personality twittered into her ear that the guy was probably making more tonight than she made in months. He could afford to be kicked around a bit.

[color=D5FF00]"Seems like Queensguard didn't downgrade in security alone,"[/color] she quipped to Wentworth when she spotted his own impatience at the speed of service provided by the bar. Sorry bartender, that probably made your night shittier than it had to be, but she had a character to play right now. 

[color=D5FF00]"So how are you planning on striking back at MSS tonight?"[/color] She considered immediately offering to assist him in anything he had planned to undercut his competition but decided against it. Firstly, that would likely be laying it on too thick. She just met the guy, and aside from a supposed shared hatred for MSS and/or Alicia, there would be not enough established in this interaction for it to appear suitably beneficial on her end for such an enthusiastic approach. Secondly, while it potentially could earn her personally an ally in Wentworth if she did go through with this, she was relatively ignorant of the larger "playing board," so doing this could potentially fuck up things that wouldn't have anyways. Third, she didn't want to get overly involved in something tangential to her real purpose here: acting as a cover for Zoie. Speaking of which, she hoped that was going over well, wherever they were.
