Roisin had just raised her glass to her lips when a jolt from behind caused her to knock her teeth on the rim and dribble much of the contents down her chin. Marvellous, she thought, crossly wiping the liquid away with her hand before turning to see her assailant. As she faced him, the half elf ran cool blue eyes up and down the figure who stood before her, raising an eyebrow as he offered an apology. Suspicious of men in general, and now a little flustered she could not help a little anoyance slipping into her voice as she retorted
"Perhaps you should pay a little more attention to where you are walking"
Still, even as she said it, her expression had softened slightly, at least this man had apologised and there had been no attempt at an ill disguised grope, which was what often lay behind these little 'accidents'. She took in his general appearance, he didn’t seem as dirty as some others in here, in fact he had a quiet assurance in his voice that she found interesting. Roisin had no time for wallflowers. Pondering on her now half empty glass, she met his eyes as she responded to his question.
“I’m not hurt, if that’s what you mean, but I appear to have lost most of my drink...”
It wasn’t loaded with meaning, more a little suggestion as to how this man could go on to redeem himself, and Roisin was not adverse to some conversation and company, even though her demeanour sometimes suggested otherwise.
She held her gaze level upon the mans face, awaiting his response.
