Maybe he would've been better off with a different wording, because the first thing he got in return was a side-long glance of very slight irritation. Here we go, first batter up to plate. She sighed softly, and glanced over at him, clearly bored of it already. "You're right. I do get it a lot." Strike one, but the older male wasn't out of the running quite yet. Surprisingly enough, she decided to give him a once-over look, starting at his hips and moving up to his face, where she settled at his eyes. Blue, but lighter than her own. Just barely.
Blue eyes had to be rare in these parts, cause she rarely saw any wolves with the solid blue she and this stranger seemed to share. Girl went on to note that he was drinking water; normally John would've commented on it, so something must've been up. She looked back to the man again, taking a moment to squint and tilt her head, puzzled. He looks familiar.
That's when it dawned on her, finally. Under the dark lights, and wearing those casual clothes, it was hard to say that this man was anyone important. It was the splash of red, and the cleanly brushed fur that ticked her memory into place. That's where she'd seen this guy before! This was the Mayor! She blinked in realization, then turned around to face the bar again, suddenly interested, but not in flirting.
"Wait a tic- aren't you Mayor Manue?" Her voice wasn't impressed, simply surprised. Why would the Mayor be showing up in the night-life end of town? This place was shadey, at the best of times, even here at Black Light. Sure, the place was new, but it was crowded to the brim with people from all over the city, mostly the folks from the area. People from the downtown didn't take well to strangers on the streets, and they certainly didn't take well to official faces. Not in the least.
