but is willing to give it a try at least once in her life.

‍“And don't worry, I-I'll cover for us tonight.”

‍“Mhm, you got it.”

Grace got right to it — waving to the bartender and requesting two drinks for them.

She's certainly not that used to alcohol,

The musician would look it over with some intrigue. He didn’t enjoy trying new things after all.

“Sure, looks great. Surprisingly simple too which sounds like a good idea.”

“What about these?”

Grace gently points to the whiskey sour in the selection, wondering what his opinion might be. From the look of the ingredients, it sounds like a beginner friendly drink.

[𝑻𝒘𝒐 𝑯𝒆𝒂𝒓𝒕𝒔, 𝑶𝒏𝒆 𝑩𝒆𝒂𝒕 @PrettyDMNBoy]

“Well honestly I wouldn’t know where to start. Believe it or not but outside of cooking or occasionally mixing drinks for friends, I don’t actually deal with alcohol a whole lot. But cocktails are always fun?”

“W-Well, maybe we can just try whatever we want on the menu? Like, whatever you order, I get one too.”

[‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ 𝓖𝐑𝐀𝐂𝐄 . @AnalystAshcroft]

Grace nods in understanding now, offering her arm in case he wished to take it and wander inside together.

It was crowded and music blasting at least at a moderate level, but she can finally go take a seat on one of the stools, waiting for the bartender to approach.

[𝑻𝒘𝒐 𝑯𝒆𝒂𝒓𝒕𝒔, 𝑶𝒏𝒆 𝑩𝒆𝒂𝒕 @PrettyDMNBoy]

A subtle head tilt as he thought on it.

“I mean if it was the male equivalent then it would be a cute guy working at a nightclub who pours you drinks all night? Never actually been to one for anything other than work though.”

Admittedly his social life wasn’t that great either.

[‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ 𝓖𝐑𝐀𝐂𝐄 . @AnalystAshcroft]

‍“Bottle guy...? I-I have no idea what that is.”

Laughs, a little embarrassed for it. How silly, but it proves further her slight lack in interactions before.

Still, Grace kept going, leading them to the nearest bar she could find.

[𝑻𝒘𝒐 𝑯𝒆𝒂𝒓𝒕𝒔, 𝑶𝒏𝒆 𝑩𝒆𝒂𝒕 @PrettyDMNBoy]

He couldn’t help but skip along.

“It’ll be fun, and I can be your personal bottle girl tonight! But like as a guy…. Actually are bottle guys a thing?”

[‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ 𝓖𝐑𝐀𝐂𝐄 . @AnalystAshcroft]

@Resolute_Hero as if that was even necessary in the first place.

“Just... just call me if you need anything, or if you can't sleep, okay? And... I'm sorry.”

The blonde mutters with a bit of nerves there at the end, turning around to grant him some space after all this.

[‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ 𝓖𝐑𝐀𝐂𝐄 . @AnalystAshcroft]

@Resolute_Hero Eventually Grace nods, feeling like this is something she definitely owed him after this massive revelation. She cannot imagine the thoughts racing in his head right now.

“Y-Yeah, I can do that. I should let you get some rest...”

She stood up, smoothing down her jeans

[‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ 𝓖𝐑𝐀𝐂𝐄 . @AnalystAshcroft]

That makes her smile and feel just a little more relieved.

“Okay! Let's go, we'll find a nice spot to hang out.”

[𝑻𝒘𝒐 𝑯𝒆𝒂𝒓𝒕𝒔, 𝑶𝒏𝒆 𝑩𝒆𝒂𝒕 @PrettyDMNBoy]

Don’t worry about it. If I had work to do then I’d be doing it. I’m as free as a bird tonight so I see no problem with having a bit of fun!

(Purely harmless. Just a very anxious FBI analyst that's gone through a very difficult and traumatizing time. She genuinely means no harm, just looking for safety.)

M-My name's Grace, I'm from- wait, why?

( well, ‘safety’ is relative. but zexion has little interest in unnecessary confrontation, and she hardly appears threatening. he briefly folds his previous report away. )

Dante. Even Emily stood so cutely on the tip of her toes to catch a glimpse around.

[‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ 𝓖𝐑𝐀𝐂𝐄 . @AnalystAshcroft]

It would take her a while between preparing both of them for the outing and their arrival - but at least she's sending Dante a text to let him know she was close.

She's holding onto Emily's hand, guiding her to the entrance of the building and looking around to find
