Night clubs were a sort of strange place for Vincent. He didn't really have to try when it came to blending in here. Even if he danced no one would really take notice. If he went to the bar and sat down for a drink, still, no one would notice. His abilities were ideal for hunting, but not so much for socializing. He flagged the bartender down and ordered himself a drink. Then he just went to watching the crowd, as he was prone to do.

His emerald eyes settled on someone vaguely familiar. He'd recalled possibly seeing her around the Vasile Coven before, one of the mentors. There were a few moments of debate, before he finally decided to approach her to chat or something, who knew. She probably wouldn't even notice him until he spoke up, but again it was something he was used to.

"Hello there, I think I've seen you around before. With the Vasile Coven?" he'd open with that. Introductions like this always felt strange.

Natasha had just come off the dance floor, dressed in a dark red minidress and high red boots, one of her clubbing outfits of choice. Smiling at some people she had met a few nights ago, Natasha had then grabbed a drink and was just about to go sit down, when she saw somebody she thought she knew. As he approached she smiled almost instantly, recognising the vampire from the Coven. He was one of the quieter, almost unseen, vampires who often seemed to go unnoticed - or so it had seemed to her.

"Yes, the Vasile Coven..." she nodded, glad he seemed to recognise her, "I'm Natasha,... and you're, Vincent, right?" Natasha enquired, not sure that name was correct or not.

"Ah right, Natasha yeah, I thought so, but I wasn't sure. Vincent Dantalion, it's nice to see a familiar face here," a genuinely friendly smile spread across his face. He looked around at the people enjoying themselves. It was a much different environment compared to the coven, or the bar he worked at. Lots of energy that was for sure.

"You looked like you were having fun, and I figured why not? So how are you?" he was better at this kind of talking when he was serving drinks behind a bar, or at least that's how he felt. Making a stronger effort to talk to people more was kind of challenging.

"Vincent Dantalion, yes..." Natasha nodded smiling, happy that she had, indeed, remembered his name.Following his gaze around the crowded bar, Natasha could only guess what he thinking. She didn't think Vincent was the party goer type, but who knew. Just because she had never seen him around the Strip, didn't mean he didn't frequent the clubs like she often did.

"Not looked, I am having fun," Natasha grinned as she took a sip of her drink.

"I am doing well," she said then, quickly moving to one side as a slightly tipsy guy walked by her. "Just enjoying myself, the music, dancing that kind of thing," she explained as she eyed Vincent curiously.

"How about you? Are you having a good time?" she asked Vincent with a playful grin.

"Well, truthfully probably not as much fun as I could be having. I'm more used to being behind the bar, not on the other side," he shrugged. Vince almost seemed to flow with the crowd as people moved. Another natural trick you tend to pick up when it's hard for people to detect your presence.

"Truthfully, I've been trying to put myself out there more. I've been living under people's radars for too long. And I don't mean because of my abilities, though I suppose those don't help much. Talking to strangers is hard when you're not getting paid," he paused a moment. "Crap, probably shouldn't be dumping all this on you like this should I?"

"Behind the bar?" Natasha remarked, "You are a bartender then?" she asked, trying to place him at any of the clubs she frequented, but couldn't.

"I can help you with that if you like? The getting out part, meeting people." she offered, understanding the hard part about putting yourself out there. She had not been the type either, but life and circumstances had forced her to be the person she was now.

"And... Probably not a great idea to unburden yourself to a complete stranger, but I'm not really a stranger, am I? - Plus, I am totally fine with it..." Natasha said as she smiled at Vincent.

"Yeah I work at The Jugular, it's a blood bar, if the name wasn't any kind of giveaway," Vince explained. "It's a bit more relaxed than here, more of a lounge honestly."

He smiled at the offer to help achieve this new goal of his. "I think I'd be a fool to turn you down. And no, I suppose you fall more into the colleague and friend category. God, this situation could have been so worse if you weren't actually you."

He laughed a little, and moved out of another person's way as they moved by. "We should probably find a place to sit or something huh?"

Natasha nodded. She had never been to the Jugular. She didn't need blood regularly like other vampires did, and so had never even thought of going to a place like that. Looking Vincent over, she then decided that maybe she should, just out of curiosity.

"Yes, let's go sit over there," Natasha said as she grabbed Vincent's hand and lead him to some couches across the dance floor and off to the side - it was a somewhat quieter place to talk. There she let go of his hand and sat down on a couch, drink still in hand.

"So, I'm guessing, you never been here before?" Natasha asked curiously, wanting to know how she might help him out.

Vince allowed Natasha to lead him over to a couch where they could sit and talk. Which he did. Yeah this was much more his speed, just sitting and talking like this. He'd still glance the crowd periodically, more out of habit than anything else

"A coworker actually suggested giving a club a shot. I just came here on a whim. I guess I could argue that weirdly worked out all things considered. You're here, and that was a welcome surprise for sure."

Natasha smiled at Vincent's admission. "And I am glad that you decided to take your friend's advice and check out this nightclub..." she answered, taking a sip of her drink.

"Do you dance at all? Or are you just a people watcher?" Natasha asked Vincent curiously as she glanced around the club at the crowd this evening. It was quite a mix of everything from humans to demons and everything in-between.
