Really the warning buzz was something she had finally gotten use to, didn't mean she didn't have to resist the urge to roll her eyes, still got her to turn in her seat to glance about. Kalika still held her drink in hand and absentmindedly took a sip, though paused when she spotted the immortal in the room. There was a slight pause, partly of surprise, though it was barely noticeable in her eyes, really most emotions weren't really noticeable with her anymore. Dying seemed to have brought her some calmness.
She stood, hand on the table to steady herself, there was maybe one too many drinks in her system, how shameful of her, wasn't like she had anything else to do on a friday night. Still she was fast enough on her feet as she made her way to the bar, true while they had never been friends she was still, oddly, lonely enough to say something to him. Besides she could be the first to tell him the news, after all last he saw her she was just a crazy watcher lady who'd been reduced to a waitress.
"Etienne, this is a surprise, I figured you dropped off the face of the planet." She had managed her way to the bar to lean against it, drink still in hand. Course as per her she stood out a bit with the normal laid back crowd of Joe's Pub, she was in clubbing wear, which was about normal for her really. Still Kali was pretty sure he was getting more odd looks than her, if nothing else he was apparently one of the few she'd talk to.

The way Etienne sees it, when you're an eccentric millionaire who owns his ownj business, you can dress any way you please.
However, this is indeed a surprise...walking into Joe's. especially on a busy night, an Immortal can rightly expect to pick up at least one buzz. This, on the other hand, is a new one. Funny how all the newfangled tech and weapons of the past century are so good at breeding new Immortals.
Kalika warrants raised eyebrow when the buzz is linked to her, but other than that, Etienne is his usual friendly self. "Kali, good to see you again too. Just had a busy time of it, is all." After ordering one of Adam's favorite imported beers for himself, Etienne grins. "I'd ask if you've been keeping out of trouble, but I think it is obvious that you haven't."

She gave a mock look of offense on that, even holding a hand to her chest like his words hurt. "I didn't do anything at all I'll have you know, I am, and have always been innocent." Alright so that was lying through her teeth, besides she ended up smiling a moment later.
"But no really I was hit by a car, it's a medical miracle that I didn't die according to doctors." Which in her book was a good thing, moving was a pain she didn't feel like dealing with, course she still kind of moved, but it wasn't a total start things from scratch move.
"I have been keeping out of trouble, even been doing my homework for my classes and not shooting anyone." All rather big pluses for her, she been down right civil since the whole being hit by a car incident.

"Oh I wasn't driving sweetie, I was walking down the sidewalk, it was a drunk driver, fate decided to play with me." Which made the whole kind of funny, well now anyway, at the time she had been shaken and closed off. Having to rearrange what she was going to be doing with her life had taken a lot of thought and self control.
Kali almost laughed on his question, really she had a right, "Yeah, Duncan got stuck with me, much to his displeasure let me assure you, we're getting along a bit better now." Not that they hadn't ever not gotten along, she had made it a point to never piss off any immortals while she wasn't one, pick on them to no end but not piss them off, unless they started it.
"You should have seen how Adam reacted when he found it, it was a trip let me tell you." She took a moment to finish off her drink, bourbon and coke and set the empty glass on the bar top. "And I'm learning that learning to shoot was far more fun and took less time than sword work." No Kalika still wasn't fond of swords in general, she could use one by now, she wasn't very graceful with it, but she was trying.

Etienne grins at the the thought. "Oh, I wish I could have been there to see that. For as long as I've known him, Adam has NEVER liked surprises." Heck, he was downright angry when he brought a friend to their impromptu training session a few months back.
"As for Duncan, you're probably lucky. As long as it takes to pick up, he's got the reputation of being damn near unbeatable when it comes to sword work. Course, that's why I always carry a gun, too." He winks. Not that he'd shoot Duncan. Well, sure, there can be only one and all that, but he has no beef with Duncan. Yet. Blah blah blah. "My old pappy used to tell me not to let 'fairness' get in the way of surviving, which seems to make sense."
So as to not get Kalika back into the mindset of shooting people, he moves on, by ordering another beer. "You can sit if you want...I'll probably be here a while, and even though chivalry is dead by all reports, there seems to be something ungallant about having you just stand there."

Kali had to give a soft laugh on that, chivalry wasn't something that was ever directed at her anyway, still she slid onto a barstool, he was right that there was no point in standing about. Besides sitting she could order another drink comfortably, she really needed to remember drinking in high heels was something to be avoided, now matter how cute the shoes were.
"I take it you've just blown back into town so haven't seen anyone else? I've pretty much gotten just about everyone's phone number, can make an impromptu party. No promises on who'd show up though." It was late enough in the day she didn't think anyone would be busy, but it was hard to guess with the crowd in town, they liked to up and go poof randomly.
"Bird chicky is suppose to swing by, she's always late though, always." It made some sense that Kali and Phoenix would hang out more, they were the youngest immortals in town after all, and once they got talking had a great deal in common. Well once Kali got over her violence issues. They normally sparred every couple of weeks to see how far alone Kalika was in her learning.

"Yeah, had a seperate contracting job for Balance back in DC." Both with his past exploits and her time as a Watcher, Kalika likely knows at least a little about his background...or at least enough not to be completely shocked or anything. "They're getting involved with NASA's next generation space transport program...the moon, Mars, and what not...and since I'm the only active pilot they know about who's been out that far, they figured I'd be pretty good as a trainer." he pauses when his second beer arrives. "Plus, they hooked me up with a pretty sweet contract with the Navy for my business, so it all worked out in the end."
As for the rest, he seems quite intrigued. "Bird Chicky?" The reference to Phoenix has to provoke a laugh. "Yeah, it'd be nice to catch up with everyone, and I could always go for a party. You have to promise me a dance, though...can't let your outfit go to waste, can we?" So the question probably makes him predictable, but who cares.
"Either way, make sure there's plenty of beer for Adam. He's the only man I know who can get a Quickening by taking the head off a Heinekin."

Had to roll her eyes on that note, really it was more like Etienne and Adam were more like siblings than anything else they way they talked about each other. Otherwise she didn't seem to surprised about his work, she'd done her research when he had first showed up in town, she was paranoid like that. Besides now she was glad she had looked everyone up when she was able, she certainly couldn't now.
Kali pulled out her phone, not really needing to glance at it except to pick the right numbers, sticking to texting, while the noise level wasn't loud she didn't feel like trying to call people. "Hey have you met a blond chick? Veronica?" A pause, mostly to smile to the bartender as her next drink showed up to be added to her tab. "Met her a few weeks back, she's pretty chill, long as you don't ask her about her job."
Might as well send an invite to the blond woman, if nothing else Kali noticed the woman tended to show up at Joe's most Fridays, might be more a warning than an invite but oh well.
