Bombalurina's smile became more watery at that, rememberance shining in her eyes.
"I did love it, but...too many forgotten dreams lie sleeping with all of this." She gestured a paw around, looking ever so slightly pained. "I guess its just a different time and place in my life...I put that behind me a long time ago."

Electra frowned a little at that. "I'd hate to sound like a cliche, but shouldn't you still fight for your dreams? I'm sorry, I shouldn't... I don't know what happened, but it must have been big if it made you give this up. You should see the look in your eyes when you came in and started enjoying yourself. This is too much a part of yourself to let it go," she said, artfully arching a brow at the other.

"I don't think I could anymore. I suppose its just one of those things you out-grow...I gave it up because I wasn't going to go anywhere with it, and I sure as cat know now nocat was going to take me there either..." The scarlet queen shook her head with a 'no', gently swishing her hair back over her shoulder and out of her way.

Electra nodded slightly, bringing one of her legs up, bending it to wrap her arms around it. "But if you love it, you should be able to do it, no matter what." So, she was a romantic.

Bombalurina shrugged, feighning an air of casuality as she reclined in the booth.
"I don't believe in love." She let a nonchalant shrug roll off her smooth shoulders, "and if I did, love hasn't got anything for me."

Electra's eyebrows made a mad dash for her hairline. "Not any kind of love? Honey," she said, letting her leg drop and leaning her elbows on the table in front of her. "Not even love of chocolate? Or a good story? A roaring fire? Music? I'm not talking about love of a guy, or gal, or even any person, but just love of life. Of anything in life. Your family? A good friend? Is there nothing about love you believe in?" She waved her hand with each new object listed and then leaned back and shook her head, crossing her arms over her chest. "You say that, but I don't believe you. Not the way you lit up listening to this song."

The red queen cocked her head, looking sadly toward the queen across from her.
"Nothing good can come from love. Like, perhaps, but love's a dangerous and irrational thing; one that I'd rather keep its smarmy claws off of me"

"*Chocolate*" Electra insisted. "I'm not talking about life changing, soul-searing romance, I'm talking about enjoyment. We love the things around us. You love Jazz, I love Jazz and chocolate and the cheesy novel. I love my mum. Love doesn't have to be irrational." She glanced back toward the stage as the band changed numbers and returned her attention to the queen across from her.

Bombi smiled softly at the change in tune, recognising it instantly and thrumming her claws against the oak booth-table.
"No, I couldn't. What's done is done I suppose....besides, I can live this way easily. Its just the way somethings have to be I guess."

Electra gave her a long look and shook her head. "I don't believe you," she declared firmly. "And I don't think you believe yourself either. You just really wished you did."

Raising one delicately arched brow, she shook her head gently.
"I guess some of us just ain't lucky then."

Electra shook her head again. "You're right, I don't know what happened to you. But I still think you're just lying to yourself. But, I don't want to ruin your evening by arguing. This is your first time back to a jazz club in a while and I want you to enjoy it. Not," she said, raising one paw, "love it, but enjoy it."

Bombi rolled her eyes, nodding wisely.
"Well...I just had a hard run I guess." She laughed slightly fickly, "Too many bad toms with bad memories I suppose....But I'm enjoying the company alright."

Electra nodded, glad that she at least had managed to avoid the worst of the toms she knew Felidae could produce. She blushed a little at the compliment. "Well, I'm glad of that at least."

"Just nice to know a friendly face." Bombi smiled reassuringly, flickering her gaze around the Chrysalis interior more closely, gauging the feel of the speak and suddenly relaxing some.
