Aloe nodded her head in agreement.
"Yeah, certaintly can't argue with that..."
The bartender finally placed her glass before her, and almost instinctively, she ran her finger along its rim. Picking up the glass at the rims with just her fingertips, she lithely got off the stool and walked over to the stranger.
"Well, I'm going to have a look around. My name is Aloe Vera by the way.. and you might be...?"
She put her hand out there for a shake but soon after retracted it. Probably not a greet and shake type of guy, is he? She wondered, nervously.
((True, but I just wanted to read everything first. xd biggrin ))

Caelan looked over at Aloe and smiled.
"Caelan. Caelan Raymond."
Caelan downed his next drink then held his hand out, managing to keep his smug smile at a minimum.
"And I don't bite."

Aloe was taken back at how civil he was being all of a sudden. She immediately reprimanded herself for building up such a negative stereotype about him, and so soon after meeting him. First impressions aren't everything after all.
"Promise?" she said, jokingly.
Slipping her grouped fingers into his palm, she smiled, unsure of herself.
She raised her glass in her other hand and tilted her head as she spoke.
"It's nice to meet you, Caelan Raymond." A cling sounded from her glass as the ice swooshed.

Caelan jokingly pulled her hand a little bit, and closed his mouth loudly. He then grinned and raised his newly-filled glass as well.
"And it's a pleasure to meet you, Aloe Vera. And always remember: your temper is the only thing you can lose and still have."

Aloe's eyes shifted from being on Caelan, to her hand, and back again.
Concentrating on her rum and coke as she took a sip, she slowly removed her hand from his before commenting. She proceeded to lean forward a teeny bit, but only for a second.
"Hm.. that is clever! But um.. in a sense," she paused, "if someone were to say. . . lose a hand, they would still have the hand, wouldn't they? It just might not be attached but it would be there."
That didn't sound as good as it did in my head. . . . Nevertheless, she watched intently for a reaction, ignoring the LOUD bar music --which was loud enough to cover up any shouting coming from outside.

Caelan released Aloe's hand, cocked an eyebrow, began nodding, and began to contemplate Aloe had said.
"I suppose... unless someone else took possession of said hand..."

Aloe laughed, because the thought never even occurred to her.
"Well, I think I'll take a little look around now and then maybe take a nap. It's been a long day, with the long trip here and all. I'm sure we'll see each other again soon, eh?" she said, with a friendly smile.
The encounter with Caelan brought her spirits up, even if only for a moment. Something she needs more of these days.

"Well, good night, sleep tight, sweet dreams, and no fiends..."
Caelan smiled at the little 'prayer' that he bid everyone when they went to sleep, even when he was 5. Caelan lifted his glass again to her, and took a long drink. He let his head lean back, and savored the feeling of the alcohol burning his throat and tongue. He couldn't help but admire Aloe as she left, watching her leave. Well, watching a certain part of her. Hey, he could act civilized, but when it came right down to it, especially he admitted that he was just a guy at heart.

Aloe took her leave from the bar and after walking through only a couple of the rooms, her body was tugging at her strings. It was screaming at her to take a break! So without any hesitation, she went back to her room and laid down on the bed for a short nap. I shall look around again when I wake up. I read something about stunning rooms with foliage... her thoughts trailing off. With her stomach flat, legs stretched out, and her arms wrapped around the pillow, she dozed off.

Caelan drank a few more glasses of liquor, and finally became tired. And finally incredibly drunk. He stood up and addressed all those who were still present.
"Ssssleep night, good tight, no dreams, and sweet fiends... wait..."
Caelan furrowed his brow as he swayed, and thought as hard as he could drunk. He finally waved it away and began stumbling away.
"Whatever... hic... I'll see ya'll tomorrow..."
Caelan stumbled out of the bar and managed to find his way to a room. He fumbled with the door for a good five minutes until the door opened, but instead of finding his own room, he found a room occupied with... Aloe with her legs slightly spread facing towards him. Caelan paused for a moment, closed the door, and headed the other way without even saying a word. He wouldn't remember it in the morning, anyways. Caelan passed door after door until he finally found his own room, spent another five minutes fumbling with the door. He opened the door, and found this room was truly his. Caelan entered, closed the door behind him, and collapsed onto his bed, becoming unconscious immediately.
