<strong>[Nina &amp; Josie at the Local Bar &amp; Grill]</strong><br/><br/>Taking a seat toward the center of the room Nina smiled warmly at the few people already in the cozy bar. She would normally have preferred to sit in a dark corner and simply observe others from a distance but tonight she forced herself to step forward. Nina was a people person, she loved being around people, laughing, partying. Having the ability to pick up on the emotions and feelings of everyone around her was exhausting however and she normally would not push herself after the day she had already had. Being new to this town though Nina felt like she and her sisters had to appear friendly and approachable, they had to fit in and make this their home.<br/><br/>The waiter noticed them and started for their table and Nina looked to Josie,<em>"What do you want to drink tonight little sister?"</em><br/><br/>Nina planned to indulge herself and order a Dirty Martini, in fact she planned to order several. As she glanced about the room she noticed a man playing pool by himself and she reached for his emotions before even realizing what she was doing. He was alone, sad, and very very primal. The sense of a hidden animal instinct buried deep under the man's control hit her hard. It reminded her all to clearly of what she had sensed this morning from Stephen. Nina looked away, firmly closing her mind to all in the room and waited for Josie to order.<br/><br/>Over and over she looked at the man playing pool, drawn to him for some reason she could not understand.
