Having just gotten off duty, and not feeling like venturing out into London tonight, Richard sat at the bar in the hotel lobby, drinking a gin and tonic. Most of the underlings working for the General seemed to leave him be.

Atropha, in one of her flowing dresses glides down the stairs to the lobby and, unlike the other underlings, doesn't seem to care about keeping a distance when she makes her way into the bar and orders a vodka cranberry.

He glanced up at her as she sat down, nodding a silent greeting. "Guess you convinced The General of your usefulness. Not bad."

"It seems I'm just a natural at making new friends." she smirks.

"That's a skill that will help you around here. Almost as important a skill as not making too many enemies, I suppose."

"I believe for the time being I won't have to worry about the later." she says, sipping her drink.

"Mmm. So I've found the first informant who thinks herself untouchable. Cute," he murmured, glancing over at her. He caught himself admiring her face...and other things.

"Oh I wouldn't go that far. Quite the opposite actually."

She lets out a short laugh. "Not quite who I meant."

He only cocked an eyebrow, as if to ask for 'who.' Or perhaps just for a clue.

Atropha just shoots him a faint smirk and sips on her drink.

"Well you are certainly less crude about than your little underling was."

"Order is a tool, nothing more. You tell him what to do, he gets it done," he said with a smirk. "That's part of the reason why he's a grunt, m'dear, and I'm not."

"I suppose you need those in the greater scheme of things. Still. So... unsophisticated."

Richard nodded in agreement. "Still, he's useful to keep around. No one stays here long if they aren't."

"So I've been told. Though what exactly that includes no one's been entirely clear on."

"That's because no one's going to hold your hand, either. You have to carve out your own niche. Or fit into one someone else has carved out for you."

"Filling someone else's niche, eh?" she laughs and downs the rest of her drink.

"No," he agreed. "You're far too lovely for that." He gave her the kind of look that probably made her feel naked, or at least mostly undressed.

"Why thank you. Who would have thought you'd appreciate someone with such an... obvious mutation." she says, running her finger along the rim of her glass. Though despite her demeanor there's something else playing around the smile on her face.

He started to look a little uncomfortable. "I don't let things like that bother me."

"Of course. Not wanting to be with your own kind, why that'd be awfully hypocritical. Or maybe they just fight back too much?"

"Then why ruin everything bringing it up," he asked rhetorically, scowling at her. He knew the answer well enough.

"Now why would I do something stupid like that. I know people don't trust me still, but why the hostility when I'm merely trying to be honest with you?"

"Tch, honesty." So that's what they call threats now. If her goal had been to catch him of guard, she was certainly successful.

"Mmm, I think you've made that clear," he said, not looking up from his glass as he took a long sip.

"Glad we're in agreement then." she smiles an overly friendly smile.

He made a noise that sounded faintly like agreement, gesturing the barkeep to make another drink for him.

"So you don't want to hear about the attack that's soon to hit one of our outposts in the city then?" she says, leaning back in her seat.

Since she could only see him from the side, she probably couldn't quite tell that he was rolling his eyes. Let's play more games, fun.
"I'm listening."

"The one over in Lambeth. Just a handful of people, no full-blown assault, but still a considerable threat."
