It's what I drink when I'm stressed. *he says, offhand. Then realizes what he said and adds* Though having them now and again, just because, is nice.

:::She can't help but chuckle before attempting to look natural while sharing the drink. She heard what he said loud and clear:::
Well...I was under the impression I was offering a little reliefe... :::She ended with a longing smile, her eyes shamelessly looking at all of him:::

*Bard very nearly spits his drink out all over the bar, but he keeps his composure... just barely*
Yes, well... It's always nice meeting someone new here...

I was serious when I said you were a legend. Any woman in my time would be so lucky to have the chance...and I meant it when I said I'd thought about it for most of my life.

*Bard really does spit his drink out this time*
Listen... Kara... I'm glad I'm such a hot commodity wherever you come from, but... I'm not comfortable with being worshipped.
*He slips back around the bar and walks over to his car*

:::Ugh...like Kal. Kara shakes off a vision of her brother, and reminds herself that it's Bard. She contemplated what she might have to do in order to win him over. Hm...a tougher one than I thought. This may take time...:::
:::She decided to let him think about it for a bit, and watched him do what ever it was he was doing...she liked the color of the car though. She didn't know what it was...but she was attracted to it somehow:::

*Bard swallows the remainder of his Martini and appraises the car. It's just a distancing tactic of course. He knows what's wrong with it, but he wants some distance between him and Kara. She appears to be a few paragraphs short of a page, and he's glad she doesn't follow him over.*

:::She gets up eventually, bringing the Martini with her, and begins walking to the car...She looks at more than she does Bard, but shortly she adresses him:::
Aren't you curious..? Where I'm from. I don't think you know. :::But she cuts herself off, she really wonders what this mysteriously ancient thing could be:::
What is this...? It's beautiful... :::She runs her hand along its curves:::

It was a car... a Jaguar to be exact. *he sighs* Now it's a pile of scrap with the potential to be a car again one day.
*he turns to look at Kara* You don't know what a car is... or a martini... you're not from any time close to mine.... you don't look like anything out of the history books either, so you're either from my distant future or the distant past... *he shrugs* I'm going to guess the future.
*Ordinarilly, the prospect of meeting someone from either the past or the future would fascinate him, but he doesn't want to relate with Kara. She sets him on edge, and it's not just the way she looks. He walks back toward the bar.*

:::She watches in a bit of disbliefe as he walks away from her yet again. She speaks up while he moves further, following very slowly behind him:::
I bother you that much...? :::She smiles. But quickly hides it in case he turns around to look at her:::

*Bard doesn't even slow* Just fixing myself another drink.
*he reaches the bar and starts mixing another martini*

:::She walks right up to him now and stands beside him, looking up at his face, though he obviously won't look at her. She loves that she's under his skin:::
Are you...intimidated?

*he sighs inwardly and takes a sip of his martini. Okay, if she wants to play games...*
Intimidated? No. *he chuckles dryly* Little girls don't intimidate me.
*he pats her on the head as he passes. Walking over to a table, he sits down and starts to read his book*

:::Kara practiced her mantra...rise above, so you can come down hard:::
Well :::she snerks::: wouldn't that make you the perverted one, then? I felt your heart beat...
:::She walked after him casually::: and... you haven't so much as mentioned Maggie...
:::She smiled deviously:::

*Bard snaps his book shut, irritated* Oh I believe I did say I had a girlfriend. Your hearing is fairly selective.
