Bry took her seat and smiled across at Arch and Mikito.  They certainly were a stunning couple. Meeting Arch's eyes her smiled deepened, in response to the real look of welcome and openness in his eyes.  He was much younger than she'd expected for such a successful man, and so very handsome too, with an aura of controlled power in the way he held himself.  His strength was such a contrast to  Mikoto's almost fragile beauty, dark and petite her tight black dress was a perfect foil to her shining black hair.<br/><br/>Bry noticed Elric's appreciation of  Mikoto's dark beauty and grinned back at him when he winked, they both loved beautiful women and often talked about who they were attracted to and why.  She didn't blush anymore when Elric introduced her in such a way, but it always made her feel a little bashful and she lowered her eyes for a moment, so pleased though that he still loved her so much that he did it still.<br/><br/>Elric's hand on her thigh and him moving to hold her she knew was his way of reassuring her and she saw from Mikoto's gentle caressing of her partner's hand on the table between them that this couple too cared about each other in an intimate way.  She smiled across at Mikito, it would be nice to make a female friend and she hoped they could find some common ground as their partners obviously got on so well.<br/><br/>She was interested too in how this couple met, they seemed so different and yet so connected and she nodded, sipping her drink.  It struck her that they too might think the same of Elric and herself, even she would never have dreamed that the person she would fall in love with and know would be there for her always would be so completely different to herself in almost every way.  But after that night when he'd come to speak to her in the bar where she was singing, every preconception had flown away.
