"Always," Kirse replied flatly after Bellatrix spoke up. Her tone was more in response to Aiden's presence than Bellatrix's. After all, while she still wasn't in the mood for company, having another pureblood around might just help to keep Aiden in his place for a change.<br/><br/>But speaking of which, she glanced at him with slight surprise when he actually seemed diplomatic for a change. It was tempting to comment on how she had very little interest in that smelly rat hole of a building, but if he intended to keep his word, she could at least give him a chance.<br/><br/>Or, she would end up completely regretting her next words, "Fine. But only because it's your treat."<br/><br/>She took a couple of steps backwards so that she could face the other woman, knowing the path well enough not to trip. With a grin of her own this time, she asked, "What about you. Care to join? Aiden's paying, after all."
