It had been a long shift, but it was over and it was time to enjoy a pint or two at her favorite pub. Delilah, Del to most, sat on a stool at the bar and drank her Guinness. This was how she unwound at the end of a day. Perched on a bar stool and putting down some pints.

Del thought about just going back to her flat, but she did have to stop and get some groceries. Her icebox was empty except for some beer.

Out of habit she looked around the bar. She quickly did a threat assessment of each person and noted any that stood out above the others.

She turned back to her beer.

Ok, so for threat assessment, one guy stands out. Ok, so its partly that he would seem to be some kind of punk, due to the long green hair, but he dresses and holds himself like an off-duty soldier. The leather is there, the jeans, the t-shirt (admittedly, it might be a little highbrow, a black shirt with white letters reading: Si Hoc Legere Scis Nimium Eruditionis Habes)
He also clearly knows how to handle himself, moving just so, even keeping some sense of balance once he leans against the bar, ordering a pint for himself.

Noticing someone looking his way, he raises his pint in casual salute, giving her the once over.

	Del smiled and raised her glass in a salute and then nodded to the empty stool next to her. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He saunters her way, settling into the offered chair. "Much obliged. Next one's on me." he offers. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Del smiled. "Thank you. Name's Del." American judging by the accent. Definitely not a local. "You're far from home. Business or pleasure?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	She took the hand and shook it. Her grip and shake was firm. "I didn't say it couldn't be." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	His grip is firm, but he's long since practiced moderating his grip. "That's what I like to hear." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	The strong grip got noticed. She liked guys with a strong grip. Daddy told her to avoid guys who didn't have a firm grip. She released his hand. "Are you enjoying your trip?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	heytheredelilah 2010-03-15 11:35 pm UTC (link)
	"Not yet." he replies coyly. "Trip has been a pain in the ass. All work and no play and all that. But nothing a few beers and good company can't cure. This seemed like a decent place." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I'm sorry to hear that," she said and drank some of her beer. "I can understand that. I've been known to work too many shifts." She got it from both her parents and from Aunt Moira. "It is. I come here to unwind after work." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He nods. "Good plan. Work takes me all over the world, no real regular spot, on duty in some fashion most of the time. Nice to find a place to not feel so rushed. Where do you work, Del?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"What do you do that takes you all over the world?" She smiled knowing smile. "Scotland Yard, so I'm more or less like you where I'm on duty most of the time." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He raises his glass in turn. "Here's to us." he agrees, leaving out the rest. "Superhuman division, much as we have one." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Are you trying to tell me that S.H.I.E.L.D. doesn't have much of a superhero division?" Del found that a little hard to believe. S.H.I.E.L.D. basically did everything. Right? (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
