Emma Frost has posed:
A quick lunch meeting at the alehouse, and Emma is dressed more for work than play. She's already got a table for two, and two frosty pint glasses with a pitcher of beer, waiting on Lorna to arrive.

Lorna Dane has posed:
Lorna happily slid into the booth as she spotted Emma, she'd thrown a blazer on over a T-shirt and pair of slacks, an odd mixture of casual and business. But she'd been running around all day and ..well who really cared what she wore?

"Hey, Emma, thanks for the invite. I needed a drink. Things have been crazy." She grinned.

Emma Frost has posed:
"Super busy here too. When things are less crazy, we should do a spa night." Emma pours the beers, then lifts hers in a toast. "I swear I need a vacation. Maybe to an island somewhere where no one can find me."

Lorna Dane has posed:
Lorna grinned as she picked up the drink, sipping it with care as she dragged her fingers over the cool condensation. "For sure, I love your spa days. Mmm, a nice little island without anyone else around complaining or causing problems. Just some sun, some beers, maybe a good massage from someone." She drawled, and leaned back in her seat with a long, drawn sigh.

Emma Frost has posed:
"Causing problems is all anyone seems to do anymore," Emma says dryly, taking a long pull of her drink. "It seems like no one has anything approaching common sense, or pays attention to anything beyond their own nose." Another drink. "It's a good thing I can read minds," she says in a low tone. "Because everyone seems to expect me to, even without knowing I can." Back to a normal volume, "It's just ridiculous all around."

Lorna Dane has posed:
Lorna snorted a laugh, shaking her head as she took another long sip of her drink. "Don't I know it? I swear people expect me to know everything, and I'm not even a telepath. Nor can I be in half a dozen places at once." She muttered and rolled her eyes.

"Really, how many powers do people think I have, I swear?"

Emma Frost has posed:
"They don't expect you to have powers. They just don't consider anything else exists in the world other then to suit their immediate purposes, and cannot bother grasping there's a wider world outside their own petty desires." Emma rolls her eyes, cynical.

Lorna Dane has posed:
Lorna downed the rest of the contents of her beer, probably rude and less than lady like for the club, but she really didn't care that much. She was here to chill out and relax. "I'm gonna run to the ladies' room, and I'll be back. Order me another beer and some pretzels, please?" She flashed the blonde a grin as she scooted out of the booth and headed for the bathroom.
