*Alex brought her hand up and kissed it. He was hoping that was the proper way to greet a lady in her time. From her dress.... Well, he just had to hope that faithful watching of TV and movies resulted in something*
The year 2002, Madam. And may I ask your name?

*She chuckles, sounding somewhere between mocking and amused, as he kisses her hand*
It was Lucia de Bernardigio a moment ago, but if you go by my key it's Melliandra.

Both very intriguing names. I take it that you often find it advantageous to use an alias. Certainly a good way to liven up a party. Especially one you haven't been invited to.

*Mell laughs again, turning to select a bottle off the shelf* Now why on earth would I not be invited? *she retrieves two glasses and fills them each*

Oh, don't get me wrong. I'm quite certain you would be. I just find that attending the ones you aren't tends to be much more... interesting.

Hmmmhmhm, true enough. *she slides a glass over toward him* Been coming here long, darling?

*Alex nods to her in thanks for the drink*
Well, for a short time.
*Alex throws back the drink casually*
How about yourself, Miss?.. Melliandra?

Oh, no titles or any such nonsense, please. Mell is more than sufficient. *Melliandra takes a sip and sets her glass down* I've been here a handful of times now, though my visits have been spread out, certainly.
*She tilts her head slightly, then reaches for a third wine glass, pours into it, and sets it on the edge of the counter*

One never knows, here, does one? *She replies airily, then calls toward the hallway*
Come on out and join us, dear!

:::Cora sighs... and peeks her head out, innocently:::
Hello...

Well well well, if it isn't Cora. *her smile broadens, her eyes narrow* Ages since I've seen you, darling.

Hey, babe. Don't tell me you were skulking about. Come on over here. I was just having a conversation with Melli here.

:::Cora, still looking a little shy, walks over, but even with her chin lowered it was obvious that she was smiling wide. She stands next to Alex, mostly turned away from Melliandra. She hadn't been doing it conciously:::
