This time, Loretta had outright laughed at Emma's intoxicated words. "<span style="color: purple">I mean 'like' as in I find you pleasant enough to be around. I'm not gonna go and jump on you and have a grab at your crotch before we've even known each other for a whole day. You're obviously into that kind of thing, but it's not me. No violation on my mind.</span>"<br/><br/>Upon the other question, Loretta's face straightened, if only slightly. She still was smiling a bit, though not as wide as before. "<span style="color: purple">Oh. That. I've been a ghoul for over a century now, maybe a decade or two more. Considering I've still got my hair, I'd say I'm doing really well. Came from having radioactive waste being dumped on my head by a bunch of Vipers.</span>" She looked at her fingertips and the reflection of her face in her glass. "<span style="color: purple">That's probably why I'm still wearing most of my skin. I was pickled, not dried, so I suppose it's the other chemicals that were in the barrel of shit that's helped preserve me so well.</span>"<br/><br/>Tony's sudden appearance behind them caught Loretta a little bit off guard, though it was nothing to worry about. She turned to him and leaned a little bit on the bar as she addressed him. "<span style="color: purple">The drink's doing pretty well. I don't get drunk or high or whatever else you wanna call it very easily. It's still easier for me to get hammered, though.</span>"<br/><br/>Emma's knee did not go without acknowledgement. She bumped her in return, and then put her own foot on the resting spot on Emma's stool, crossing it over that of the mohawked punk's leg. Loretta then turned and followed where she pointed to. "<span style="color: purple">Yeah, kinda. I'm still a little surprised that the nutjob didn't bite the girl's cheek off or something.</span>" She was, in fact. There was something up with the cannibal-woman that she couldn't place, something different. She seemed to be more docile, less of a cuckoo. Whether it was a predatory maneuver had yet to be seen, but Loretta wouldn't put it past her.<div class="messageTextEndMarker"> </div>
