"Elijah freed me. And now Leota wants to put me in chains. That idea doesn't really work for me," she sighed, pushing the empty glass back across the table toward Benjamin.
"But I'm distracting you, aren't I? You came here to sing. Everyone comes to Caritas to sing. So what'll it be--The Beatles, Van Morrison, Sinatra?" she asked with a slight laugh.

Benjamin had been listening to the two vampires flirting on the other side of the bar. He could almost feel the chemistry from where he was stood. Even a blind man could see the attraction. He took Raquel's empty glass and chimed into the conversation.
"Could I tempt you with a Lover's Kiss?"

"Leota?" he said, raising an eyebrow and politely ignoring her question about singing. "General Leota Yun Kim. I thought she was dead. Her and her two lieutenants, Junior and Lassek."
Everyone knew who Leota Yun Kim was. He'd never met her, he'd kept his eye on her dealings, like he did with most infamous vampires. William the Bloody was in Sunnydale, Angelus was souled, Drusilla was causing havoc in Australia with her Chaos Demon boyfriend, Darla he'd lost sight of, the Master and Kakistos were dead....
Her lieutenants, Junior and Lassek. Lassek was certainly dead, some say Leota killed him. The most popular theory is that Junior killed him out of jealously, but Declan knew from the records that Junior and Lassek most likely never met, and that Lassek was dead just before Junior was sired. No, he believed it was a slayer who killed Lassek.
"But I'm sure the last thing you want is to talk about her. I've heard about her, is all. As for the singing, I'm not much of a singer...maybe my courage will rise if I drink a little more." he said as the bartender walked over.

"Could I tempt you with a Lover's Kiss?"
She smiled at the bartender, knowing full well the expression was lost on him. "Yes, thank you, Ben. That's very kind of you."
"But I'm sure the last thing you want is to talk about her. I've heard about her, is all. As for the singing, I'm not much of a singer...maybe my courage will rise if I drink a little more." he said as the bartender walked over.
She rolled her eyes at the tone in his voice when he mentioned Leota. And was relieved when he chose to change the subject. "Again, very perceptive of you," she remarked. "But I'm sure you have a lovely singing voice. I'd be glad to show you how it's done. Any requests?"

"Now that's something I'd love to see. But no requests, not from me. I'm sure you have better musical taste. Besides, anything coming out of your mouth can't be bad at all."

Having business he missed most of the shows of the other patrons, something about wolfram and hart came up. One or Two of the suits came in singing a duet and wondered what there future held. All lorne said it was a messy situation, and left it there.
returning to the bar he smiled. "Usual benjy, Sea Breeze..."

She giggled. "So charming," she stood and let her hand trail along his shoulders. "Isn't he charming, Ben? I'll be right back."
She chose a song and took the stage again. An old ballad that reminded her of the past that Declan had brought up unintentionally.
Now you say you're lonely You cry the whole night through Well, you can cry me a river Cry me a river I cried a river over you
Now you say you're sorry For being so untrue Well, you can cry me a river Cry me a river I cried a river over you
You drove me... nearly drove me Out of my head While you never shed a tear
Remember... I remember all that you said Told me love was too plebeian Told me you were through with me
And now you say you love me Well, just to prove you do Come on and cry me a river Cry me a river I cried a river over you
I cried a river over you
She muttered a thank you and strolled off the stage, returning to the bar.

"That was....beautiful." he said, genuinely astounded. "I'd expected you to have the voice of an angel, but angels don't sing that well."

Lorne's eyes went wide a bit as he drank his Empty sea Breeze. This girl was evil he knew that, but she and her Family trying to raise an army? He saw the necklace and where she could find it, but he wouldn't help with that, he would send her cryptic hints. "Make me another benjy."
He sat and waited for the women to approch him.

She smiled shyly and looked away at the compliment. "Ah, but angels have those pesky morals and values. I, on the other hand, don't," she grinned, biting her lower lip.
She left him to approach Lorne, who was exuding evasiveness. "Things a bit cloudy for me, Lorne. I was wondering if you could help," she pleaded.

"Ahh that was a wonderful performance lets not drift in all the yucky." He smiled and patted the seat next to him. "Anyways, There is a lot of things in your future and in your past that was made clear to me, other things were so cloudy and confused i couldn't make out a lot of things."
"But i saw your army, but it looks rather dangerous..."

"Army?" she chuckled. "Who said anything about raising an army?" Well aware that she had said so with her own thoughts while she was singing. "Armies usually are dangerous, Lorne. That's sort of the point. But don't worry, we won't harm you." She glanced at Benjamin. "Or deprive the city of one of its finest bartenders."
She turned back to Declan, who now seemed more interested. "Perhaps we should discuss this elsewhere," she suggested. "Nighty night, Lorne. Don't let the bed bugs bite."

"Elsewhere." he repeated, and as they headed for the exit, said, "Like where?"

"Oh, just a modest place I like to call home," she said over her shoulder as they walked up the stairs. "I think you'll like it. The previous owners had excellent taste. Even if they were a bit salty."
She led him outside to where her red Viper was parked, a gift that Leota had given her after much begging and pleading. "It could be a very interesting business proposition for you. So whaddaya' say? Can I give you a ride, Mr. Clay?"
