Elena sat in her favorite little bar in the slums of the downtown metropolis, the dim lighting setting a sort of atmosphere to the place as she decided to down her shot of vodka and head out into the streets to walk home. As she stepped out into the open part of the city, she noticed two men standing by a slightly damaged car, one carrying a sword on his back, the other looking a bit too cocky for his own good. She wasn't sure why, but she felt drawn to introduce herself and see if they were having any car trouble. As she neared, they continued talking, and she caught a laugh, stepping up behind them. "Car trouble, boys? Anything I can do to help?"
Dante stopped speaking to Damien for the moment and turned to see who the newcomer was, even though he was sure she couldn't help. Much to his amazement... "Do I... know you?"
Elena giggled a bit, never having been good at holding her alcohol. "Nope, I don't think so... But I'm sure it's possible. I'm awful with faces." She extended a hand to the two of them. "Elena Edinboro, Defense Attorney by day, drunken idiot by night." She laughed a bit at the end of her introduction, thinking herself clever. "Just kidding about the drunken idiot part, though."
Dante nodded, taking her hand in his own to shake it. "Dante. I run a P.I. service downtown. I think one of my ex-clients recommended I get a good lawyer soon... I remember seeing your name in the classifieds under Defense Attorney and researching some of your cases... You're pretty good..."
Elena smiled, nodding. "Thanks. I've heard of you... The wealthy boy genius who became a P.I. to distance himself from his family?" She smiled as he nodded. "I'd be glad to represent you should you need it." She handed him a card and walked away. "Call me sometime, Dante!" She waved to the other guy. "Nice to see ya, guy..."
