Who: Methos, Rachel
What: A random meeting, different worlds and time periods be damned. Mostly an excuse to test out the muses.
Where: Some bar somewhere, circa I don't know. 8D
When: Mid-evening
Warnings: None
[The bar is dark and small. There are barely enough people in it to make the evening worthwhile for either the neatly dressed bartender or the singer crooning old standards from the miniature stage in the corner.]
[Methos surveys the clientele briefly before slipping his lanky form into a booth in the back, one whose tall cushions ensure that his back is guarded. He nods to the bartender; there’s no response, but a few moments later a girl appears from the back and comes over to take his order. She smiles, he smiles back, languidly, crookedly, and the process of taking down a drink order somehow takes several minutes.]
[She returns a short while later, carrying a frosty glass topped with a head of foam and a slip of paper with numbers jotted down. Once she’s gone he sits alone, sipping his Guinness and listening to the singer’s sultry voice, and keeping a discreet eye on the entrance.]

Without a word, she takes a seat at a high-backed booth opposite Methos and looks around, perhaps waiting for someone or something.]

[Mildly curious, he lifts his glass to her as her wandering eyes slip over him.]

Not interested.]

When the waitress brings her water and peanuts, she nods a brief thank you and goes about her business, apparently paying no mind to the men anymore.
To trained eyes, however, it may appear that she's listening quite intently.]

The girl nurses her water, her wandering gaze falling on the man in the booth opposite hers once more. She catches his glance and frowns slightly. Is he watching her?]

Twenty minutes pass. One by one, the men rise from their seats and clap each other on their backs. It seems their business--whatever it may have been--is done, and they leave a hefty tip on the table as they file out of the bar.
The girl turns to the man now, staring at him openly.]

Before she can reach the door, however, two of the men she'd been watching come barreling into the bar, guns drawn. The other patrons scream, some of them dropping to the floor preemptively, but the girl--although caught off guard, at first--acts quickly and makes herself scarce by hiding behind one of the booths up front, near a window. Poised, she watches the men intently.
The men don't appear to be concerned with the people inside. Their attention and their guns are trained on the door, as if they expect trouble to bust through at any moment.]

[Well, the gunmen and occasionally the girl.]
