Today, Scarlet was going to get away from her ranch, allowing her horses and herself to have a break from each other. Waking up, Scarlet pulled out some ripped jeans and a nice buttoned-up shirt that she hardly wore. Pulling on her boots, Scarlet headed towards her dodge ram and headed into town. With the windows down, and her music playing, Scarlet hardly heard anything but no, her hearing was just perfect. You see, being a hunter for many years, Scarlet had gotten her ears attuned to anything and everything that was around. Just in case an attack came from an unexpected werewolf that had a grudge on her.
Putting her truck in park, Scarlet got out and headed towards the bar. She walked into the bar, looked around until she went to the bar it's self and asked for some whiskey mixed with vodka. Again. The bartender gave her the drink and she sipped at it. Her red hair wasn't up, and it covered her back and a few strands went into her face. Scarlet smiled, most men were looking at her. Not surprising what so ever. Then she heard the door open again, and her gaze went to the door for a moment before she turned back to her drink and listened to the footsteps of the new comer. |

What he had seen last night...Had to have been a dream...Surely?
Mathias wasn't so sure, and he didn't want to dwell on the concept for a moment longer.
Just some weirdo girl and her weirdo bird trying to scare him, that was all.
He shook the thoughts from his mind as he pushed open the door to the small bar- having decided that today was a day inwhich to give Tooley's a miss- checking for sweat patches on his shirt before strolling inside.
Anyone looking close or quick enough at the small blonde man would have noticed the look of unease and slight terror that crossed his features before being quickly- maybe even forceably- replaced by a wide cocky smirk as he made his was slowly to the bar and sat himself down next to a pretty looking red-head.
Sweeping a hand quickly through his short blonde hair and giving his jacket lapels a quick tug, he turned to face her back, determined that today was not to be ruined by some creepy encounter from the night before.
"Good afternoon"
He began, as smoothly as he could.

Scarlet heard each foot hit the ground as he walked over to the seat next to her and sat down. Putting the cup to her lips, Scarlet drank the rest of her whiskey-mixed before she turned her attention towards the blonde man next to her. Light purple orbs locked with his and she gave him a small, sly smile. "Afternoon." she said, before looking back to the bartender and asking for another drink. She always came to this bar, got the same drink but hardly, did Scarlet ever let someone have fun without her.
"What brings you here?" she asked, turning her entire body towards the man. Her let her smooth accent take over a bit as she spoke. When they let her accent come in, there were some men that couldn't help but want her and then there were some that thought her accent was cute and sexy all at the same time. Surprisingly, she was wondering how he would react. A cute blonde at that. |

Mathias took the chance to look the woman fully up and down as she turned to order another drink- silently drinking in her smooth curves and sharp red hair as he tried to lean casually on the wood of the bar.
Oh yes, he was certainly back in business here; it would take more than last night to ruffle his feathers, and he knew he was onto a winner with this stunner.
His leer of apraisel only widened as she turned to face him, drink in hand. Her soft accent stroking his ears, he wondered if she was the kind of woman who went for the smooth British gentlemen type, and if he should thicken his own accent to fit the bill.
Even if his Romanian was closer to awful than merely bad as it was, surely it couldn't help to egg things on.
"Thought I'd give Tooley's a miss today. Damned placed was boring me"
He smirked and ran another hand through his hair.
"And I'm sure glad I did..."

Scarlet gave him a smirk as he said that he was glad the he did miss Tooley's. Of course, she had never been there and, by the way some people were talking about it, she honestly didn't want to go. She had heard that most werewolves worked there and Scarlet would be to...as you would say....worked up to not relax for once and just, well, relax. She looked over her class of whiskey at him, her light purple eyes sparking and gleaming as she took another sip of her drink.
Sitting her glass down, Scarlet leaned against the bar, her shirt loose enough that it moved with her body as she moved as well. "I couldn't guess why, even if I tried." she said, her voice forming a sarcastic tone as she talked. Scarlet leaned towards the blonde man and gave him one of her smiles, those flashy but just right smiles. "What's your name, Stranger?" she asked, leaning back just before the top of her shirt opened slightly. Oh, trust me, Scarlet could be a tease...if she wanted to. But right now, that would wait for a bit longer. |

"Mathias Ark"
He replied eagerly, stopping himself just in time from adding "not Matt, or Matty; Mathias, understand?"
That statement would be tacked on for lesser, unattractive people, just so they knew their place.
But for a view such as the one he was currently getting, Mathias decided that this woman could call him just about anything she liked.
Starting to feel better, and more like his usual confident self now that he was back in his element; where he liked to think he knew what he was doing, Mathias continued, upping his own accent for the hopeful benefits.
"And yours? Can't say I've seen you around Bucharest...I'm sure I would have remembered"

For a moment, Scarlet studied him for a moment, and decided that his name seemed to fit his look. Mathias Ark, where had she heard that name before? Scarlet had lived in Romania for most of her life and not once had she heard of Mathias Ark. Strange, she usually knew of or knew the person personally. "Well, it's nice to meet you Mathias." she said, giving him one of her perfect smiles again. On her personal time, Scarlet was, well as you would say, a little flirty.
She heard his accent and gave him another smile. "Scarlet Rose." she said, giving him a nod. She was still wanting to know where she had heard his name from. Surprisingly, it was annoying and Scarlet Lee-Ann Rose, did not get annoyed. |

"Scarlet Rose?"
Mathias couldn't help but allow a small smirk at the name- sounding more like some drippy character from a dorky gothic novel than a name he'd heard before- but he held his tongue; not wanting to ruin how well this all seemed to be going.
"Can I buy you a drink?"
He asked, quickly transforming the smirk into what he hoped to be a charming smile, settling upon the idea that milking the gentleman act for all it was worth would be the perfect course of action in this situation.
Waiting for her to respond, he quickly slipped off his jacket and hung it over the edge of the bar, rolling up his sleeves as he did so- the bright lights of the bar was not something he greatly enjoyed.

She saw his smirk, hardly anything escaped her purple gaze. Finishing her drink, just as he asked if she could buy her a drink. Funny, the last guy - what was his name? Damon I believe - had asked her the same thing, and honestly she didn't quite remember if she had said yes or no. Looking up at him, she put a little smile on her face, "What? Haven't heard of anyone my the name of Scarlet Rose, or are you just laughing at yourself?" she asked, some of her smart ass attitude coming out. Scarlet held most of it in, but sometimes it just "slipped" out.
Sighing, Scarlet closed her eyes for a brief moment before opening them again. He no longer had his jacket on and then he was rolling up his sleeves. "Why not? Go ahead and by a me a drink." she said, giving him a flirtatious smile. |

Mathias coughed into his drink as Scarlet sweetly replied, unaware of her sharp eyesight and hoping it was for some other reason that she had pointed this out, rather than noticing his disdain for her name.
He quickly tried to recover, leaning in with a line that, in his experience, worked with many and all types of women.
"I like a girl with an unusual name"
(this, of course, could also be altered to 'a girl with a normal name', or even- depending on the woman and situation- weird/gothic/adjective/ fruit name. Mathias liked to be prepared for all situations)
Smiling back at her, he quickly turned to order Scarlet a small, cheap drink before plonking it down on the bar next to her.

Scarlet saw him lean in before he spoke. So he liked girls with an unusual name. Interesting. To Scarlet, a name was a name and plus, this woman hardly ever thought about love. She was to busy with her Ranch and, well, hunting down werewolves. As looked over at Mathias, she studied him for a bit. There was something about him but she couldn't put her finger on it. Smiling at him, she leaned over to him, her lips close to his before she whispered. "Then you've found the right girl."
When she saw the drink that he had ordered her, Scarlet moved away from him. She was a teaser that was for sure, and she was planning to tease him until she was through with him. If she ever did get tired of him that. Reaching over to the drink, Scarlet took a small sip from it and gave him a smile and a wink. |

Smiling as Scarlet took a small sip from his offered drink, Mathias turned to look round at the rest of the bars occupants, waving a hand near his face as he did so- the bright lights and closed in atmosphere something he was unused to after visiting Tooley's for so long.
Quietly he longed for the chance to take a quick breather outside, but the thought of last night and the fright that the dark outside had given him was enough for him to reconsider.
Besides, what if something else happened? He'd look like a wimp or something and everything would be ruined.
Mathias didn't want that.
Running a finger along the inside of his collar, he coughed again and glanced sideways at Scarlet, hoping she hadn't noticed his small attack of unease.
"Is it...Hot in here?... Or is that just you?"
Trying to catch himself again, he quickly turned the action into a pickup line, faintly aware of it's overused cheeseyness but not caring too much. A compliment was a compliment.
Right?

Scarlet finished her drink and closed her eyes for a few moments. She allowed her hearing to spread but just enough that she could just about hear everyone in the bar besides her and Mathias. Opening her eyes, Scarlet turned towards Mathias as he spoke. She smirked at him when she heard his pickup line. Yes, it was a bit cheesy but honestly, she wasn't quite used to a male even coming and giving her a compliment.
Standing up, Scarlet moved over to him and put a hand on his shoulder. "Then let's go outside, so I can cool down." she said, winking at him. She turned and gave the bartender a twenty. Honestly, Scarlet didn't have to pay but it was the one thing she wasn't conceded about. Looking over to Mathias, she smiled at him before walking towards the door, her boots not making a sound as she walked. It was one of the many things that she learned from her own training. |

Feeling a small sweep of gratitude as Scarlet suggested they head outside for a while, Mathias tried to quickly cover his grateful smile with a wide smirk and what he thought looked like a knowing wink at the bartender.
Grabbing his jacket, he jumped from the barstool and strode out after Scarlet, fumbling to undo the top button of his polo shirt as he did so, glad for the chance to be outside, but hoping they wouldn't stay there for too long.
Although, a small part of his brain reminded him; this was certainly one of the quickest pickups he had ever managed, and could therefore be counted as a success on his part.
This cheered up him considerbly as he stepped out into the cold air, jogging to catch up with Scarlet as she walked ahead.

Scarlet walked outside the bar, and started to walk towards her car. Then she stopped and turned to see Mathias jogging up to her. She saw the fumble of his hands as he was trying to get the top button of his shirt undone. Strange. Why would someone, or anyone, be afraid of even going outside? Then it occurred to her. Had something happened to Mathias that she didn't know about. She didn't plan on doing anything or even hunting down some werewolves.
"What's wrong?" she asked out of pure curiosity. Something that she hardly ever did. Then she heard something. A noise that caught her attention, and her eyes looked around. She knew that noise, and it was coming close. Moving her gaze, Scarlet saw movement behind Mathias and her instincts started to kick in. "Hey, Mathias, do you mind doing me a huge favor and not turning around." |
