DID YOU ASK YOUR PARTNER OR DID THEY ASK YOU? HAVE YOU GOT TWO LEFT FEET OR IS THE VIENNESE WALTZ YOUR JAM? IT COULD BE AWKWARD, IT COULD BE ROMANTIC. EITHER WAY IT'S CUTE AS HELL.

[Dancing? Really not his thing, ask Julia. He'd, painfully, learned the necessary steps to make it through The Dance at their wedding without destroying the god awfully expensive shoes she'd been wearing. That's about as far as that went. Still... she just looked so... melancholy.]

Not to sound cliche or anything but... what's a girl like you doing in a place like this? I mean. Drowning your sorrows is more of a local pub kind of thing, not a jazz kind of thing. And you might have the sorrows part down but I'm not seeing any drowning happening here.
just_a_guy: (F!: Ummm...what?)

[personal profile] just_a_guy 2014-06-27 04:24 am (UTC)(link)
[Dancing wasn't exactly her thing, either. Maybe once, long ago in some half forgotten time, but not anymore. The jazz had drawn her attention with it's lively sounds and upbeat feel, not for it's small dance floor. So, she'd tucked herself in against the bar, waved away the offer of a drink, and settled in to listen.

It was close enough to almost be familiar.

She'd almost gotten used to that feeling.

Or maybe not. Her mind wandered, following the notes of music and pouring over her endless mental notes and...and the voice at her back made her jump a little. She'd been staring off into space, hadn't heard him come up.

Sam would be laughing his ass off right about now.]


Oh. Umm...no, not drowning. Just listening, actually. A friend of mine is trying to broaden my musical tastes.

[She turned, finally facing the man...and one blond brow arched slowly. Surely Salem had gotten the memo that she wasn't really a terrorist. Right?]

Am I doing something wrong, Officer?

Expanding horizons, okay I can get behind that.

[From across the bar, with it's somewhat less than squeaky clean bar keep, she'd just been a face in the crowd. A sad one, but just one more citizen. Then she looked up and... well in a city full of history it would be hard not to recognize a national icon. He whistled softly, tapping out a smoke while he eyed her.]

Nothing wrong at all... So far as I know. But if you are I don't want to know about it. The paperwork alone would be a nightmare.

[He smirked, raising his hands as if to say 'nuh-uh not touching it' before lifting the cigarette to his lips and flicking open his zippo to light it. Plain silver with a Jack of Hearts on one side, the kind of thing that looked like it belonged in the 20s. Kind of like his hat. Rex had gotten it for him for his birthday last spring and he'd never been without it since.]

[He recognized her, and that was still a little weird. Believe it or not, most of the time she didn't even have to wear a hat. People just...didn't look. She was just another face in the crowd and that was just fine by her. His glibbness made her smirk, though, and the shadows that had called his attention to begin with eased a little.]

Well, I'll be sure to keep your work load to a minimum.

[Maybe a bit more snarky then one might expect from a woman born in 1918, but she'd been a modern girl long before it was modern. The flick of his lighter drew her attention and she swallowed back the sudden wave of nostalgia it brought.]

Nice lighter. I thought everywhere was no smoking anymore...

[Don't ask him how, but somehow he has located a stereo and some music. (Henry. It was probably Henry.) The music coming out of the speakers is, of course, a waltz.]

Would you care to dance, Emma Swan?

Hoping to teach me how to be a lady?

[It's teasing, but it's gentle teasing, because while a part of her wants to laugh at the odd juxtaposition of pirate and stereo and waltz, she mostly finds it remarkably sweet.

(And possibly a little terrifying, because she suspects Henry's involvement, and Hook and Henry conspiring can only mean trouble.)]

Consider it part of the ambiance. [He chuckled as he took that first drag, cocking his head a little and eyeing her from beneath the shadowed brim of his hat.]

Much as I hate doing more work than I have to. Gotta admit I'm curious about what you're doing here.

[A casual shrug and a dismissive gesture with the hand holding that cigarette.] And before you spout off with any of that 'curiosity killed the cat' crap remember where you are. People breathe superstition here and if I believed all of it you can bet I'd never get anything done.

Oh I know better than to try that. [She'd be much less interesting if she suddenly started acting like a 'proper' lady. Also he'd likely think he'd fallen through a portal into another world yet again.

He holds out his hand.]
You haven't said no yet.

Ambiance. Uh-huh. [She smirked a little, but her eyes followed the glow of that cherry all the way until he exhaled. Smoke really did make the place...and if the bartender didn't complain, then who was she to burst this officer's bubble.

Not officer. Plain-clothes meant detective. That much, at least, she remembered.

Waving away the tendrils of blue before she could inhale them--an old habit--, she twisted to get the 'tenders attention. It wasn't particularly hard, nor was the glass of ice water she ordered. Sipping from it, she chuckled.]


Don't worry. No ladders or salt or cats here, black or otherwise. I'm just...looking for someone. There were clues that he'd passed by here or somewhere close, but now that I'm here... [She shrugged one shoulder.] I may as well enjoy the scenery, right?
