The question earned a smile from her as Lark flicked her gaze to the side, nodding slightly in greeting as she answered. " Long enough to remember why I made my bar the way it is.. How have you been Aureana?" The traces of affection in her voice were genuine, though when or how she had started thinking of the girl as a 'friend' even Lark had no idea.. It had been for her sake that she had chosen this place instead of The Zodiac for their meeting after all. It really wasn't safe for her there.. considering what the girl was involved in.

Artemis, named for the human's goddess of the Hunt.. Lark had heard a great deal about the cyber phantom that haunted the Syndicate's shadow yet when the figure had reached out to her she could honestly say she had been surprised. Being a criminal herself, she'd expected the same sort of hostility.. Instead the figure had been respectful and cautious. Information started flowing both ways and before she knew it Aureana had started working as a middle man of sorts. How her friend fit into the Artemis plot... she had her suspicions. But she never pressed for answers, allowing it to go into the grey area until her companion chose to share such things on her own.

" Oh yes, before I forget~" Tapping her hand on the bar she sat up, reaching into the pocket of her coat.. and fishing out a lovely necklace on a delicate chain. " Your friend was looking for this, dear. Please make sure she gets it." The charm looked like a simple metal plaque, pretty yet unremarkable in its plainness; Exactly what it was meant to look like, considering it was actually a military grade flash drive. A small favor, for a dear friend.. Lark was never one to let such matters wait.

Rich laughter met her friend's plight as Lark gestured for a water, sliding her dark gaze to the side so she could get a good view of her companion's expression.. before she teased lightly. " I could probably find you a good Thesaurus you know.. maybe one for children." To translate anything from the Brains behind Genesis the girl would have a very long day ahead of her, especially when her readers expected the reports to be the standard 'cheerful and optimistic' vibe that Aureana managed so naturally. Lark had no doubt in her friend's skills, only sympathy for the task ahead. Still, what a fun sounding project.. She might dig into that a little herself, off the record. Vi had been complaining about 'The Turtle' stopping so much..

Energized at the thought of a little mischief Lark filed it away for later, turning her attention back to Aureana as the woman secured her 'gift' perfectly around her neck. " Personally I think it looks better on you anyway. I'm doing better, cut ties with that guy a few nights ago.. He turned out to be such a child I couldn't tolerate him." Not a surprise considering she rarely dated anyway.. but still, it had been disappointing.

" Say the word, it is yours." She promised, shaking her head faintly to keep from laughing. Readily getting on the man-bashing wagon she listened to her friend.. one brow quirking up in question as she gave a lady-like snort. " I hope he was at least worth it in bed, Rea, because I fail to see how you tolerated him otherwise." Their waters came and Lark paused, nodding in thanks as she popped a straw from its wrapper and slid it into the glass. She didn't drink from cups handled by others.. it was not a germ thing, though certainly it was a matter of self defense. Her body was, due to her split genetics, easily imprinted by those that touched her.. Her lips were particularly sensitive. Lipstick did wonders of course, but for physical contact like drinking out.. straws were her saving grace. " I must admit, the world is full of 'boys'.. So few ever become men that I've considered asking them to be listed as a endangered species. You wouldn't mind writing up a article on it for me, would you? We can title it 'The Greatest (Dating) Game: Men Worth Hunting.' "
