By the time Vivienne arrived at her destination, it was dark and growing colder.  The coat she wore over her form fitted, and low cut blouse wasn't much protection, but at least her skirt was wool, and kept her lower half semi warm.  She feared once she removed her coat inside, her body would surely show signs of just how cold she was.  Perhaps once things with the Last Laugh were resolved she might have a little coin to buy some new clothes, but sitting in the carriage wasn't going to give her that information, so she departed.  The driver carried her trunk inside, and set it behind the door.  Once she paid him he left quickly and gave the Bangers and Hounds not so much as a backward glance.<br/><br/>She would have loved being able to take a private car for her trip, but money was tight, and her journey into the unknown world of air ship owner didn't come along with guarantees of gold.<br/><br/>Stepping into the dim pub, Vivienne glanced about and noticed two men from her life on the Last Laugh.  Obviously Inspector Gale had found Bondage Bob, as she could see he was in attendance already.  Her eyes skimmed his presence and noticed he hadn't changed much at all from their earlier days together.<br/><br/>And then there was Monsieur de Sabre as well...a man Vivienne had always found very easy on the eyes, but too intimidating to get close to.  From what she could see of him now, he hadn't changed much either.<br/><br/>She wondered if the last ten years, when she had blossomed from a young girl into a woman would show before these men any differently, or if they would still see her as a bit of a pest underfoot.  No matter, in the matter of the Last Laugh, she was now their equal and that did a lot to help her move forward into the tavern.<br/><br/>No one else in the establishment looked at all familiar, so she assumed no one else had arrived yet.  She nodded a greeting to the two men, then approached the bar.  Unless she was invited to join one or the other, she would remain at the bar, back in the corner where she could also see anyone else who entered.  An order of sausage, and a glass of port was ordered, the port being an extravagance she wasn't at all accustomed to, but one she felt was in order on this auspicious evening.<br/>
