Cori had changed out of her dance gear and threw on a loose oversized pink sweater over a pair of fitted black pants. Her flat shoes were satin, not unlike some of her dance shoes. Raven hair now hanging loose, she moved with the same grace she danced with, but was more relaxed than earlier when she was training.

Stepping into the lounge, she meandered over to the bar where the host was mixing up a drink for someone. As he poured it out in a martini glass, it was a vibrant yellow.

She slipped onto a bar stool, waiting for Aaron. They could move to a table after he got there if they wished, but for the moment, she was happy to observe adn chat with Sam. “That’s a vibrant drink. Anything I might be tempted to try?”

Sam grinned. “I don’t know, maybe. If you’re up for a little adventure. It’s a Qikolath lemon liqueur based drink. It’s fun, but punchy. More tart than sweet.”

She gave a slow nod, her all-too-blue eyes glittering. “ Sounds like my kind of drink. I’m not sure I’m so much fun these days but I’m trying to change that.”

“I’m waiting on a new friend to come by. He’s going to want food. But I’m more interesting in desert. And maybe something to drink,” she said, folding her arms on the bar top.

Aaron walked in, he was wearing a purple button down shirt with a loose collar and short sleeves. His black slacks were pressed and neat. He saw Corinne sitting at the bar and made his way over. “You look nice,” he said. “Can I get an orange juice please” he said with a smile as he sat down next to her.

Cori gave a half bow of her with a smile at Aaron’s compliment. Everyone looked better out of workout clothes, at least in her experience.

“Absolutely,” Sam said. He more or less knew the whole crew, even if they didn’t yet know him.

“So we got to know each other pretty well today, Tell me something I don’t know yet?” he said

Nazarian slipped off to grab the orange juice, plus make a drink for Cori he thought she’d like.

Cori let out a throaty chuckle. “Oh, there are so many ways that question could go. I’ve had quite the adventurous life. Do you care whether the detail is a happy one or not? Because I’ve got plenty on both sides.”
