The booth is likely not too different from the rest of the club, aesthetically, it has a couch, a window that lets you look down at the dance floor and enough space to dance.
Jean-Paul will make sure to leave the door open though, just in case.
"After looking at me for the whole night I was sure you already knew the answer to that one" He laughed a bit and took a seat on the couch, not too close to her, because he wanted some space. "I'm Jean-Paul, it's nice to meet you"
"I have no clue to be honest... I was more enticed by the man you were talking to... But you seem fascinating. I've never heard about you... Is it french?"
He's going to activate Awe. Sure, she may think he's fascinating right now, but he did not forget that gut feeling she gave him. Better to be safe than sorry. "Yeah, it's French, what about your name... is it from Cassandra or Cassidy?"
"Yeah... My parents were a lot in this Pagan stuff... The Old gods, this and that... Kinda hippies persons... And you... What maked you talk with Ash? He's your friend ? Or you're a fan?"
"He's an actor, I'm a... well, I like to think I am a rising movie director" He chuckles. "I guess we're in the same area... and what about you? What attracted you to him so much? I mean... yes, he's good looking, but, is that all?"
"I'm fascinated by his story... The rising star, and he just stays all days and nights here... I don't understand why. I've never saw one of your movies, are they... Good ?"
She blushed at the absurdity of what she said, before smiling and then laughing.
"I don't know what's happening, I feel like I'm drunk."
At least the Presence was working. "Well, if you want, when a waitress passes by, we can order you a drink... what do you think?" He chuckles, and leans on the couch. "Tell me more about yourself, Cassiope, how did you end up in the City of Angels?"
"I was... I was in the city to... To..."
She looked around, a bit uncertain, as she tried to focus.
"I would take red wine yes... As for LA... I'm not sure. I think it was more about carrier opportunity... But I'm uncertain."
She blushed a bit more, before pausing a hand on his if he allows it.
"Come on, Cass" He will activate Blush of Life and bring her hand close to his mouth, giving it a kiss. "You have no need to be nervous around me, just tell me what's on your mind"
He will ask a waiter or waitress passing by for a bottle of red wine.
"You just look... You are so like me... I was not expecting this of someone friend with Mr. River. "
She smiled a bit, yet a bit fazzed.
"I... I'm just thinking how fascinating your lips are. And how I want to kiss them."
She pushed him against the couch. But as she looked at him, she blushed really hard, and jumped almost back to her place.
"I'm sorry!"
She totally red from embarassment.
"I don't know what's happening to me tonight... I... Maybe I should go."
"I don't think you should" Jean-Paul moved closer to her. Clearly he managed to change her mind about something. Now he just needed to ensure her loyalty somehow... "I think we should enjoy the night more, together" He will caress her cheek with a finger. "We have this place just for us, what do you think?"
He is fully expecting to give her some of his blood and then get her phone number with this.
"I... I think it would be a great idea, yeah..."
She blushed, but advanced toward him, influencend by his supernatural charm.
She put a hand one his leg, before going on it and smiling.
"I don't think anyone will see us, either way."
"So what if they do?"
Jean-Paul will lean forward and kiss her lips. But he won't close his eyes fully, he wants to be very well aware of his surroundings in case she tries anything, and he wants to wait for when the wine gets served. So he will keep his heightened senses activated.
Jean-Paul will try to bite his own tongue and make her drink a whole dot of his blood during the kiss. Vitae is tasty for humans, and with the amount of awe he's got in her, she probably won't question it. (I put it as a spoiler because I don't know if it's too much for normal stuff)
Jean-Paul will have a French kiss with Cassiopeia, which he will take advantage of to make her drink a full blood point of his. Yes, he's an Anarch, and ghouling is pretty much the same as enslaving... but this woman clearly was here with murderous intentions. He knew he had to do something about it, and he did the only thing he knew.
But he made sure to make the kiss actually enjoyable, despite that. And the taste of vitae surely boosted the enjoyability of said kiss.
"Just gave you a taste of what I can do for you, Ma Cherie" He will kiss her cheek. "Sadly... I need to go home, though... maybe you can give me your number so we can meet again?"
Jean-Paul will save the number in his contacts and then take his leave. But not before paying the bill of whatever he spent at the club.
After all that... he's going to finally report back to Isaac.
Jean-Paul 'forced' a level one blood bond with a strange woman who seemed to be interested in killing him or Ash. Her name was Cassiopeia, and he got the strangest feeling from her. He hasn't managed to discover much about her yet, however, other than her parents being pagan hippies. Now he'll use this to his advantage.(edited)
