Before seating himself he had taken notice of her attire. Finding it delightful to look at, the way the light shimmered off the silky threads. When she accepts his offer of company, his hand moves to set his drink down and then to pull the stool from the bar a bit before taking a seat. His elbows rest casually on the counter as he looks to the bartender and nods gratefully. Then his attention turns to his ex as she has already mumbled under her breath. Kind words, he is sure. A light chuckle leaves him as he listens to her inquiry of his sudden appearance here. He shrugs, as he lifts his drink to take a sip before answering. His eyes again straying the the collection of top shelf liquors, "I got bored." He states simply. A charming grin curls the corners of his lips as he looks back to her. "And you? Why are you here?" He asks in genuine wonder. Speculations fill his mind and he is intrigued at what her answer will be...
Behind them the customers chatter and snicker, but he all but ignores them. Possibly they recognize who they are but he doubts anyone in this establishment would, nor care. So his full interest lies in the woman he knows and does not know. His eyes scan the subtle creases of her face and the multi-toned gold of her shortened hair. He remembers it as always being a bright platinum but this look suits her as well. He wishes things had gone better for them. That fame and fortune had not ripped them apart. That scandals and company politics had not ruined them. They had had fun, he remembers. Their relationship hadn't always been wining and dining at fancy 5-star restaurants, and slightly he yearned for that again. Curling up on the couch at home and watching an uninteresting movie, just to be delightfully distracted by each other(they could still say they tried to watch it). Taking random trips to any dot on the map just to get away from the hustle and bustle of their professional lives. The memories cause him to smile and if she were to ask him why he was smiling, he would tell her the honest truth...
