(Private) 'Girl Time'

[Zodiac]

Don't I?

The words were kept to herself as she sat herself down, trying to ignore the whining of the sax as she pulled the strap of her purse over her shoulder to sit it in her lap. "Because, I go where I need to be. Staying in any one location is... well, it's just not a thing I do." Pulling out her wallet, she cast a smile to the girl. "Now, I think these conversations are best had over drinks, so... first round is on me. I'll be just a second."

Making her way back towards the bar itself to place an order, the woman chatted up the bartender as the drinks were made, paying the man and offering a little smile before making her way back. Alright. Step one. Drinks. Done. "Alright, starting off with something pretty easy. Screwups." They seemed an apt beverage.

A slow start. She approved as she nodded a little and sat herself down in the booth again. "Well, I wasn't going to say this one counted, just that it was an idea if we were going to have some kind of Q&A." Sipping at her own drink, Mandy sighed thoughtfully as she looked to the ceiling. "The question you asked... I don't like to stay still for too long," she began to explain thoughtfully. "I've been traveling a lot since... well, since I was younger than you," she chuckled a little bit at that and offered the girl a small smile. "I enjoy seeing new things, learning new things, exploring modern and ancient civilizations and cultures..."

She tapped at the glass for a moment absently, before shrugging a little. That really was all there was to say, wasn't there? "Does that answer your question satisfactorily?"

"I'm going to assume that by that you mean the most interesting place, and not the one with the coldest temperature," Mandy remarked with a little smile. "I spent a brief period - far too brief - a bit outside of Cusco in Peru, at Sacsayhuaman. At first I remember thinking it was the stupidest thing ever, but then I realized that despite it's age, the stones of the complex were actually fit together so well that... ah..." she stopped after a second, then leaned back in her seat with her drink. "... well, I won't bore you with the history of it, I suppose." She was at least trying not to bore the girl senseless.

Reaching into her purse she flipped carefully through her book for a moment and simply offering a picture. "... this is Sacsayhuaman."

[Zodiac]

The woman looked almost surprised by the younger girl's enthusiasm, turning the picture around to face Asp and completely ignoring the man who approached them as she spoke. "Well, it's just really interesting because the stones were carved so well that not even a hair could slip between the blocks. And after so long, as well! Centuries of earthquakes, seiges, that sort of thing... and yet the walls are still standing just fine. The stones themselves are exceptionally smooth... my understanding -" she continued to ignore the man even as he started to open his mouth when she took a breath, "- is that there used be a giant labrynth that was protected by the walls, as a part of the full structure, but it didn't quite survive the seige of Cusco by the Spaniards. It's still utterly fascinating, though, when you think about how quickly buildings and such fall into a state of disrepair in our modern age... and yet things like this---"

"Excuse me," the man finally cut in, staring a little, before smiling to Asp and offering a green beverage of some sort in a martini glass. "... this is for you." As he sat it down, a number was written clearly on the napkin beneath the glass as he offered a wink before heading off.

She watched after the man with an expression of distaste on her face before waving a hand a little and dismissing what had happened. "Ahem, yes, when you think of how quickly things go to ruin in our modern age, and yet these ancient structures have remained and been able to so effectively continue to do their tasks," Mandy sighed. "I'm hardly old enough to say it, but the experience has definitely left me to say that things just aren't built like they used to be. Consumerism at it's finest."
