Cecilia!

[audrik]

Audrik had a terrible headache. He tried every remedy he knew, but it just wouldn't go away. As much as he hated to admit it, a Firewhiskey drunk always cured his headaches when nothing else would. After setting his affairs in order for the morning, he grabbed his coat, pet his cat that lay beside it, and headed out the door

If Cecilia had known the headaches and frustration that would come along with declaring her major, she would have hidden in Undeclared Hell for as long as she could. The requirements, the switch in advisors, the chiding looks from the secretaries. What their problem was, Cecilia couldn't even understand. She needed a break.

Every pub on campus and surrounding knew who she was. Cecilia Jacobs was a tabloid tease, a girl who was always willing to take a picture. That couldn't be farther from the truth. That truth alone was what brought her to tavern.

Wearing a pair of slim fitting denim trousers and a loose fitting tee shirt with high heels and a blazer, Cecilia took a seat beside the only other person at the bar.

"A glass of Reisling, please," she answered when the bartender asked.

Audrik's eyes darted over to Cecilia as he sipped from his glass. He wondered why she chose to sit next to him. He also wondered why she looked like she walked out of a fashion magazine. He returned his gaze straight ahead and finished the last sip from his glass. He tapped the bar with two fingers and the bottle rose on its own to pour another small glass. One of the advantages of going to an empty bar is that the bartender knows what you're drinking and already has the charms all set up.

He traced a finger around the rim of the glass with one hand, and other propped his head up as he massaged one of his temples.

As the wine glass in front of Cecilia filled of its own accord, she glanced briefly to the man sitting beside her. Had she seen him around campus before? She couldn't be sure, but there was something familiar about him. She nodded in thanks to the bartender as the glass slid in her direction.

She took a long sip before setting it back down.

"Seems like we're both having one of those days," Cecilia spoke, then, as she watched him.

Audrik stopped rubbing and glanced over at her. He raised his head and offered a small smile, followed by a single nod of the head.

Raising his glass to his lips, he allowed himself to dip inside her head. Truth is, Audrik found her to be attractive and simply wanted to see if she was worth talking to.

ooc: I wanted to leave it up to you what he could learn from her thoughts. It can be anything you want.
