pardon the out of the blue text, but is this lady yennefer?

[choicely]

This is she.
Let me guess: the bard sent you.

LOKIOFASGARD; audio

[ikols]

Greetings. Yennefer, the magic-user?

[choicely]

That's correct. And you are?

[ikols]

Loki of Asgard, God of Stories. I've heard you're an authority on magic, as am I, and was wondering if you would like to have a discussion over dinner.

[choicely]

Do you make a point of inviting every supposed authority to dinner once you learn of their arrival?

[ikols]

Only the talented beautiful ones.

[choicely]

Leading with flattery.

Are you seeking a certain perspective, or is it merely an attempt to be aware of whomever the latest Confluence has brought?

[ikols]

Actually, for a few months now I've been considering bringing together the greatest sorcerers in this hodge-podge of a realm. Nothing official, just a little club in case we need to rally together against something magical, it's more drinks as we get to know each other in a library than actual work. Have you met Doctor Stephen Strange?

[choicely]

I've been part of an alliance before, with fellow sorcerers. Didn't suit.

[ but she can't claim she isn't slightly interested, and maybe her tone indicates as much. ]

We've crossed paths. He's already acquired himself something of a reputation, hasn't he?

[rehandle]

[ Out of nowhere, one evening around 9pm: ]

Has Loki lured you in yet?

[choicely]

He portaled me to his home and opened a bottle of wine.
It was decently persuasive.

[rehandle]

Nice technique. I had you down for a harder sell, but I can respect falling at the first wine bottle.

[choicely]

It lasted long enough for me to entertain his proposal, at least.

I haven’t firmly committed yet.

[rehandle]

You will.

[choicely]

Are you always this presumptuous?

[rehandle]

You didn't come all the way out to my house to introduce yourself so you could stand on the outside looking in through frosted glass.

[choicely]

There’s a difference between familiarizing one’s self with someone of comparable abilities and an alliance.

It seemed prudent to be aware of you.

[rehandle]

Free tonight?

[choicely]

For what, exactly?

[ the truth is she’s been free every night, with nothing but an empty house to reside in. ]

[rehandle]

Getting me out of the house.

[ He does need to get out more, irrespective of the fact that he isn't the only one. ]

I was thinking a visit to the bar.

[choicely]

The kind of visit that demands company?

[ she's heard enough of the adages about drinking alone. ]

[rehandle]

Isn't that any visit?

[choicely]

Some people prefer the opposite.

[rehandle]

And some people prefer not to sit pathetically in the corner sipping on liquor en seul. But if you're the other kind of person I can take a hint.
