Grace had noticed him gazing at her. He didn't hide it. That wasn't a problem with Grace - it never was. She could sense amusement from him at her approach and her use of her own allure. Grace knew what she had and she wasn't ashamed of it. It was probably one of the reasons why Eve had thought of her for working here. That and she liked helping people out. Her own gifts helped with that. The mystery man didn't seem to need anything like that, and Grace had to admit - it was nice to be around someone who's emotions exuded such confidence.
He leaned foward, closing the gap slightly and testing her name on his tongue. This man was experienced in seduction - that was a surety. That meant he didn't "need" to be here like so many others who wanted company. No - he wanted to be here and there would be a reason for that. There was something that attracted a man skilled at seduction to a place where that skill wasn't necessary - for the customer anyways. That was intriguing. As he leaned in, she emulated that motion, closing the gap even more, but not to an uncomfortable level. She reacted to his compliment with a playful smile that made her eyes sparkle.
"Well, I am sometimes known to be merciful," she said with a slight emphasis on the word "sometimes". She had a feeling this guy like to play the game, so she leaned into it more, making unspoken promises of where the night could go. She gave him a nod and a sincere "Thank you," when he told her to join him. He said it in way that wasn't a request and she treated it as such.
Grace took the seat across from him, her posture immaculate. She crossed a leg over the other, getting herself comfortable. She knew he would be examining her, even if it wasn't obvious. She had played many roles even in her short time here. She could adjust for his desires and expectations easily. She took a breath before speaking. "I'm sure you will be thoroughly pleased, Mr. Mysterious," she said with a lilt in her voice that showed her amusement at his keeping his name. She liked this one - she liked how he played and she liked his confidence.
The liquor she recommended was top of the line, but was also very good and flavorful. The server was back with a bottle and two glasses quickly. He bowed and opened the bottle, pouring a glass for each of them. Grace accepted hers with thanks to the server, and then turned towards Mr. Mysterious. "To mystery," she said, raising her glass. She would wait for him before taking a drink.
