Life of the Party

She would nod, agreeing with his comment. "Accept other people's kindness. Especially when you don't owe them back!" she joked. She actually did for the time being have a sense of honor. She would never let debts she owed go unpaid. People can owe her all they want and she will not particularly care. when he declined the cherry, she immediately plucked it from the drink, popping it into her mouth and pulling off the stem. "More for me," she said. She would pull out her own wallet, which was modestly full at the moment, and pulled out enough bills to pay and leave an equally modest tip. She would steal a few more fries and chomp on them happily. "Don't mind if I do!" she would say. She would smile at Cain and shake her head. "I brought you here to hang out and have fun. You are having fun aren't you?" she would ask. If he were to agree, she would nod. Soon after he would finish the fries, she would finally stand up and wait for him to stand and attempt to give him a hug. She would stop if he looked uncomfortable. "I had fun. Maybe we will have to do something else that we plan next time, see ya!" she would say, before waving and leaving, from the club and onto the way home. And that whole time on the walk home, it had hit her. She had forgot to ask for his number.

Cain gave a small laugh. It was short, but warm and actually a bit cheerful.  Loreilli's joy seemed a little infectious. Considering the way he expected this night to go she'd practically made things do a complete one-eighty. He leaned forward in his seat lacing his fingers together for a few seconds before he answered her.

"Yeah, I'm having fun. A lot more than I'd expected, at least! If you're this good at making people have a good time, I guess it's no wonder you make a good DJ." Cain said with a confident nod. He went back to eating for a bit and time seemed to fly by. Soon it looked like Loreilli would be on her way. He was having fun, but he wasn't going to stop her from going. After all, she was probably tired after the night she'd had. That or she just had other things to do. He wasn't going to pry into her business by asking which and instead decided to get up so they could part ways.

Goodbyes were never exactly his strong suit. He was never exactly sure how to pull them off with any grace. He usually just stayed where he was till the other party left, or gave short goodbye and just left without much fluff or other discussion. Loreilli apparently though a hug was appropriate though. He was hesitant; after all he didn't really care for personal contact like that. Outside of family he'd almost never used gestures that affectionate, and even with his family it was a rare and slightly grudging affair. Still, he didn't want her to think less of him for declining. So when she hugged him, though he seemed stunned for a few seconds, he hid his reservation and hugged her back.
"Hey, I'd be up for whatever you wanted. He said as she left.  He gave a small wave and sat ba"ck down tapping his finger on the table as he waited. He wasn't sure how much longer it would be before he got to leave, but he was actually sort of glad that he came.
