160 Another Alliance

Sayu walked into the crowded nightclub, clad in a skin tight lacy dress. Her entrance was followed by the stares of many young men, in awe at a beautiful, mature-looking older woman with a full figure. 

She did her best to control her disgust at the sweaty bodies and drunken eyes and slurry drugged up voices. She was, at the end of the day, a disciplined, well-educated military leader. Her heart was filled with disdain for the person who had invited her here. 

Sayu ignored the crowd and walked straight up to the bar. She checked her watch, it was 11:40. She was five minutes early. As the bartender walked up to her, he asked for her order. 

"Just a Bloody Mary" she said, holding his gaze for a second longer, to indicate her identity. 

The bartender paused, put down the bottles and glasses he was holding, nodded to his partner to continue service as he leaned closer to Ayu across the bar.
