<div class="floatright">(http://i.imgur.com/eDJMl.jpg)</div><strong>Name:</strong>Allison Saurer<br/><strong>Title:</strong>Mechanic / The Final Touch<br/><strong>Locations:</strong>Dining Room<br/><br/><hr/><br/>Allison brought a hand up and rested her chin against her thumb and middle finger and extended her index up so that it was pressed against her cheek while she gave Liza a quick once over as if she were sizing the girl up and picturing her in the mobster inspired outfit that she'd just described. Suits were currently in vogue and Liza was undeniably stunning, so she'd obviously be able to pull the look off - or just about any other look, for that matter - but she was worried that the tie might make it look too comstumy. Ally got the fact that the idea had been inspired by the Scarface movie, having seen the posters up in Liza's room countless times, but it was possible to draw inspiration from something while still tweaking a few details here and there. After all, she didn't recall Scarface wearing high heels, either.<br/><br/>"Spiffy, we'll have to make that happen," Ally replied diplomatically. As Liza's self-appointed style consultant, it was her responsibility to talk her friend out of the red tie, but there would be plenty of time for that while they were shopping the next day.<br/><br/>Turning her attention back towards Claire, she sucked in her cheeks, pouted her lips and widened her eyes  so that she wore an exaggerated expression of guilt and fear on her face, playing along with the not-so-icy stare that was coming her way. It was fun to just hang out and mess around with the girls, she'd really missed it.<br/><br/>It wasn't just them, of course, and Allison was reminded of the boys' presence a few seconds later when Adriano offered her the drink that she'd asked Piper for. He caught her a bit off guard, as he always seemed to do. Had it been anyone else bringing her the drink, she probably would have just said<em>thank you</em>and not have given it too much more thought, but just because it was him, even that small gesture seemed so gentlemanly that it made it difficult not to swoon.<br/><br/>"Oh, wow, thanks," Ally replied only slightly nervously as she accepted the glass, trying her best to bounce back from the shock and awe that her silly crush was making her feel. Feeling a bit warmer and more uncomfortable than before, she took several small gulps of the fizzy brown concoction to help cool herself down, also using it as an opportunity to lower her eyes and avoid Adriano's gaze. After a couple of seconds to compose herself and a bit of additional liquid courage, however, Allison got some of her nerve back.<br/><br/>"Mmm...well, can we settle on less bad than most?" she joked, poking a bit of fun at herself since it was no secret that she wasn't a big fan of the actual taste of alcohol, particularly the stronger stuff, although she did enjoy it's effects just as much as anyone else. She quickly reached a hand up and tucked her hair behind her ear, a minor little tic that she had whenever she felt anxious or nervous. It never stayed put for long, though, especially when her hair was all voluminous and wavy as opposed to straight, so it prompted Ally to keep doing it every now and again.<br/><br/>She wasn't too worried about Chris or Rosha when some of the others began wondering where they were or why they were late. They were completely dependable when it came to serious business, but neither of them were necessarily the type who you'd expect to always make it on time to casual gatherings or things like that, so Ally didn't consider it a negative omen that they hadn't arrived. As the crew's leader, Chris also had a sort of intangible aura of invincibility around him as if nothing could truly touch him, so she really couldn't picture him having gotten in to trouble.<br/><br/>"Sooo...anyways, how have you been?" Ally changed the topic slightly clumsily as she turned her attention back towards Adriano. "It seems like we hardly ever get to talk." She left out the part where it was mostly her fault because she found Adriano too intimidating and kind of avoided him, trying really hard to suppress her instinct to just bolt so that they could get to know each other a bit better.
