"M'hm. Sure, but I thought you hated dancing?" Amelia lifted her eyes from the menu to see that Brian was staring, at what would be the question. Her eyes followed his, though she had turn more than she would have liked. She saw nothing of interest and sighed, but her friend continue to stare...even as she went back to minding her business. Finding the silence and awkward staring unbearable, Amelia parted her lips to speak, but just as she did so Brian finally said something. "Oh-em-gee, Valerie Cartier is here!" He whispered to Amelia, though anyone listening hard enough could hear. "What's that?" She said casually, taking a sip from her Long Island Iced Tea, glancing up at her starstruck friend. "You really need to stop being a groupie, Brian. It's embarrassing." Amelia smirked and turned the page to her menu, eyeing possible finger foods. Fighting super-villains really gets your appetite up. "If you knew who she was, you'd be a groupie too." Brian finally got enough strength to stop gazing at the woman, but only because she told some poor college kid off and he didn't want to end up in the same boat.
"Probably not. The only stars that appeal to me are the ones in the sky so don't lump me with those shallow people. Besides..." She snickered and covered her face with the menu. "It's not safe to get involved with any woman in this city. She might turn out to be The Countess!" Amelia laughed louder than she intended to, and Brian joined in...just like old times. "Not that you would have anything to worry about, since she clearly can't fight." She nearly spit her drink out at laughing so hard, but luckily she held it in and fanned herself lightly.
Brian shook his head after he was done laughing. "You need to stop. There are plenty of women in this city that aren't super-villains, and Valerie Cartier is the last person on the planet who would need to put on a giant suit and steal from a bank. She's already rich."
Amelia raised an eyebrow and took a long drink from her straw, leaning in closer to her friend. "You know how many celebrities are actually broke? They just have nicer things to show off than the rest of us." She didn't say anything more for awhile, ordering was more important.
