Mimi smiled, shaking her head. "Well, he should be offstage after the next number for a few minutes."

Electra grinned broadly at her.

A few minutes later the band finished their set and Mimi flagged Lou down as he was heading past. "Hey, Lou, I want you to meet someone."
The small tabby came over. "Yes, Mimi?"
"Lou, this is Electra Peirce. Electra, Lou Page."
The bandleader glanced at Mimi at the name "Peirce" but didn't say anything to her. He offered Electra a smile and held out his paw. "Pleasure to meet you, miss."

Electra's eyes widened and she took the paw. "Hello, very nice to meet you."

"Do you ladies mind if I join you for a few minutes?"
"I was just going to get a drink. What'll you two have?"
"Bourbon on the rocks, Meem."
"Got it. You, darlin?" She glanced at Electra.

Electra named a cocktail and glanced over at Lou, her tail swaying around the legs of her chair.

As Mimi left Lou took a seat. "So what'd you think tonight?"

Electra grinned widely at him. "I thought it was brilliant. As it usually is, but even better than usual."

Lou chuckled at that. "Now you're exagerating."

"No, really," she insisted. "I love the band here, and you were on top form tonight."

Electra nodded quickly. "Yeah, it's probably my favorite speakeasy in town. I would ask you the same, but figure you're here most nights."

The brown tabby grinned a bit at that, nodding. "Any night we're open, an' even a few when we aren't. What d'ya do for a day job, if you don't mind me asking."

Electra calmed herself down, reminding herself that there were usually reasons why she needed to stay aware of herself when she was drinking--sometimes she came across too strong in those situations. "I work at a shop off Main Street, Richard's General Goods," she answered, calmer, as she smoothed a paw down her skirt.
