>>Siobahn, and her cooking [@Almalthia] Joel, over a Guiness [@Pilatus] Elise, fancy seeing her again [@KatKook]
[hr]

Ryan picked at the food in front of him, his appetite ebbing and flowing with the conversation. Listening to what Siobahn said, and the ensuing silence from Joel, made him question his entire life. Their opinions of Vika is...icy cold at best. There definitely is some dirty history between them all, including the people Siobahn mentioned but Ryan did not know. [color=00aeef]"Yes, meeting Bruno the German Ramsay would be nice. Maybe this time around he will let me have an opinion on his cooking. Thank you for the offers."[/color] Ryan said in response to Joel with a slight chuckle.

Then a voice was heard. A woman. At this hour, in this part of town. Rarely does the two combine in such a manner unless they have a reason of being here. Ryan paused his conversation when the woman was allowed in. Being a guest, he did not make his presence overtly known. He simply listened along to whatever that was said. The way the woman, a somewhat familiar one at that, went off about the cars in the garage brought a small smile to Ryan's face. So she is a petrolhead. Interesting. In his experience, women are either closer to the side of "Where do I put the windshield fluid?" or "Yeah, I can swap out a spark plug by myself." Rarely in between. This one, Ryan remembers her name as Elise from that one time at the festival with that one shy guy, is closer to the latter than the former.

In any case, as a guest of the location, Ryan remained quiet except a quick and friendly greeting to Elise.
