<div class="floatleft">(http://i980.photobucket.com/albums/ae282/caela_ecub/Blondes/ev1-1.jpg)</div><strong>Name:</strong>Paisley “Lee” Halliwell<br/><strong>Creature:</strong>Witch/Cupid<br/><strong>Location:</strong>P3, Bar<br/><strong>Tagged:</strong>Jacqueline, Melinda, Brie, Jinni, Angelo, Connor<br/><br/><hr/><br/>Downing her shot of tequila a fresh smile curved Lee's lips when the lovely, though unknown, woman came up to the bar and spoke to them. The woman's voice had a lovely lilt to it that spoke of being something more than just a San Francisco native. If she hadn't spent so much time down in Chinatown buying herbs she wouldn't have been able to place that slight lilt in the voice. Recognizing it though just made her smile warmer. She enjoyed the flurry of Chinatown almost as much as she did her sister's club. The reminder of one of her favorite places certainly didn't hurt her first impression of the woman.<br/><br/>"No need to apologize, you're right, barstools aren't made with the comfort of those who are a bit shorter in mind," she agreed and held out a leg to show the tall spikes on her boots, "Heels to catch the rungs help though," she added before doing just that, hooking her heels on the rungs of her stool and standing on them quite easily. "Just takes a little practice," she added with a soft laugh.<br/><br/>Motioning to the bartender she grinned and leaned in close, cheating and ordering a bit of the cider she knew they kept on stock for Brie. She might be planning to have a good time but she didn't plant to be wasted. She'd pace herself and order cider or water between actual drinks.<br/><br/>"Actually, I'm pretty regular here yes," she admitted, turning her attention back to the woman. "My name's Lee, and these are my cousins, Brie and Melinda, my older sister's best friend Jinni, and her new friend Angelo," she said pointing everyone out in turn. "My sister owns the place so we're all pretty regular around here and yes, it's usually pretty busy. PJ does a great job booking talented DJ's and bands to keep the crowds coming back," she said, happy to praise her older sister even if they had their own issues.<br/><br/>She was about to say something else when a drink was passed to the woman, and Lee, who didn't miss much, saw the outline of a holster and badge under the woman's shirt. The warmth in her eyes cooled somewhat and her smile wilted at the edges, though it didn't disappear entirely. She did lean in however so she could speak to just the woman without anyone else overhearing, "If you're here on official business you probably shouldn't be drinking, if you're not, leaving the gun and badge at home might be a good idea next time. They're rather off-putting."<br/><br/>She might have said more but she heard someone saying,<em>"Hi Melly,"</em>in a familiar voice and whipped her head around in time to see a blast from the past! None of them had seen Connor in years but seeing him now, and watching Mel's reaction, had all her familial protective alarms ringing. She watched Mel sidle passed him and grinned at her cousin before shifting slightly so that she could stretch one booted leg over Mel's vacated stool (not caring that it made her skirt ride up and flashed a<em>long</em>expanse of leg at Brie, Jinni and Angel), her eyes glacially cold as she looked over Connor.<br/><br/>"This seat's taken," she said firmly. If Mel chose to listen to him and let him back into their lives then she'd let the cold in her eyes thaw, but until then she'd be colder than an ice age. This man (handsome though he might be) had hurt her family. For Lee that was nearly unforgivable.
