"Yeah," Electra nodded, her foot tapping to the music. "I'm sure. It would be hard for me to go to a town where I didn't know people. I grew up here."

"Really?" Bombalurina glanced at her in some semblance of surprise.

Electra nodded. "Yeah, born and raised here. Lived with my mom and dad's parents for years."

Bombalurina smiled serenely.
"That sounds like a pretty nice life to me.

Electra shrugged. "I don't know. It was certainly decent. My dad disappeared years ago though," she said, looking at the glass in front of her. It hadn't helped that her grandfather had blamed her mother for it, though they had never actually talked about. She shook her head a little and looked up at the other queen, brushing the memories aside.

Ears lowering, Bombarlurina's pretty face quickly became awash with sympathy.
"Oh, I'm so sorry."

Electra shrugged again. "It's not that bad, don't worry," she said, waving her paws. "Just, I try not to dwell on it." She wasn't sure anyone could pull off a truly happy childhood in Felidae though.

Nodding gently, the scarlet queen suddenly smirked, reaching into her purse and pulling out a note.
"What's your poison then? I definately owe you a drink for this."

Electra named a drink. "Thank you so much, honey," she said, her smile returning in full force.

Bombi nodded, taking her order and slipping from the booth and over to the bar, still unsure of what she wanted herself, and taking the time to survey the back booth behind the bar displaying numerous shiny glass bottles.
((We could leave it open for someone to jump in?))

((Hn. Any ideas? Because Misto doesn't know of the club, or know Electra yet for that matter. Ama's Teazer is in another thread already, and Old D and Jones wouldn't be seen here. I would suggest Sonya, but as Police Commissioner, I don't think he can allow himself to be seen there. ... And, uh, I promised ML I would not allow Martin anywhere near Electra. So, maybe close the thread up soon and have them come back some other time later?)).
Electra watched the other queen, propping an elbow up and resting her chin on her hand. Her tail swished lazily behind her in time to the slower song.

(Well, I know Meadow wanted Jerrie to see Bomba again at some point...of course, there're other characters who may want to wander in at some point))
Bombalurina heard the music slow dramatically, the lights seeming to dim very slightly as couples began to shimmy closer to the classic rhythm of the dance. Sighing forlornly, the scarlet queen awaited the return of the barkeep, who had so far overlooked her in the busy Chrysalis.

Electra tapped her foot again, and then glanced down at her watch and her eyes widened. She had to be at work in the morning. She was pushing things with Richard enough as it was. Sliding out of the chair, she walked back up to the bar and leaned against the counter next to Bombi. "I am so terribly sorry," she said. "But, I just saw the time, and I have work tomorrow. I'm glad you came though, and I'm sorry I have to leave early."

[9400D3]Bombalurina quickly masked her dissappointment at Electra's announcement, setting both newly acquired drinks down on the bar unattended.
"That's alright kit, I think I'll just hang around and liten for a while." She smiled, reclaiming her own spirit and taking a dainty sip before she waved a hurried goodbye to the queen.
"We'll talk sometime soon then."[/color]

Electra's ears drooped a little. "I'm terribly sorry," she said again. "Especially after you got me a drink and everything. But, you know where I work, and I hope I'll see you around here again, honey." She waved a goodbye, and weaved through the crowd of dancers towards the door, swaying a little to the music on her way out.
((Exit Electra))
