Jamie laughed. "A' course!" He grinned, he had started working at the Allure around the same time as Fred, he supposed that was why they had so many of the same work days... "But enough about US, let's talk about YOU, lovely Miss Hi." Jamie grinned. "Since you know our humble occupation, what's yours?"

Hi smiled, "I'm a doctor at the hospital. I also am a therapist and a psychologist. So, in the medicine field, I'm a Jack-of-All-Trades." Hi took a sip of water and smiled, "There's nothing more to tell." Hi played with a small curl of her hair.

"I still don't know how you managed it." No matter how many times both Seishiro and Hi had mentioned her various professions Fred still couldn't help but be impressed. The Brit still found it hard to believe that someone as young as the Kuma sitting before him had accomplished so much. Although she had the advantage of being part of the more well-off portion of the city, it was still something to brag about.
However she still hated paperwork. That always made the Tora laugh.

Hi smiled sadly, "It's a long story." She shook her head and replaced her sad smile with a happier one. Fred didn't know about why Hi became a doctor, most didn't anyway. Only Seishy and Jane knew why, a very long a depressing story indeed. But Hi was getting over it, she barely cried as it was (Except when she was drunk) but she was finding it easier to smile, even when she thought about it.
Hi took a sip of water and continued, "Truth is, I'm so young because I was pretty much already practicing medicine when I was sixteen. My parents were doctors..." She paused, "Anyway, then I went to college and took advanced classes, since I already knew so much. I graduated when I was twenty. And here I am!" She grinned.

Jamie laughed. "Brains AND beauty, how HAVEN'T you tapped that, Freddie?" He asked his fellow bartender, a shit-eating grin spread across his face. It was always fun to try and get the other to drop his poker face, even if Jamie rarely managed the feat.

"Because, as I have already told you, my brain isn't entirely controlled by my sex drive." Fred emitted an irritated sigh, cleaning out a bar glass as he spoke. "Plus, I actually respect women." His face barely so much as twitched, but his annoyance was clear.

Hi laughed, "Wow..." She said, "Honestly I'm offended, entertained and complemented all at the same time!" Hi laughed again, but her face was growing a pretty shade of pink.
A look into Hi's female mind: First off, she was offended that Jamie asked why hadn't Fred and Hi been going out/sleeping together. Secondly, why the the hell haven't they?! They had been friends for long enough and the attraction was mutual, so why not? And last but not least, Jamie said she was pretty and smart, glad to know that someone had noticed.
Hi was getting impatient with Fred, sooner or later this... whatever it was, would have begin at some point. Hi was glad that Fred was a gentlemen, but that didn't mean that he had to be a coward too. He should just suck it up and confess before she had to... or else something bad would happen.

Jamie, despite his habit of pissing everyone around him off, was pretty good at determining what was going on in peoples heads. After all, he had to have SOME skill in reading people, or he'd never get laid, and he couldn't have that. Fred and Hi were close... as close as one could GET to Fred, at least. And honestly, they were both pretty damn hot... Maybe they just needed a little nudging to get together...
"Oi, Fred. Kinda slow tonight, y'wanna take a break and DANCE with th' lovely lady at least?" He grinned at his companion. An 'If-you-don't-I-will' grin.

"Well, uh..." Fred shifted his gaze over to the girl sitting on the other side of the bar, feeling a slight amount of heat rise to his face. Probably didn't help that he was somewhat of a mediocre dancer, but something deep down told him that wasn't the issue. However, the look Jamie was shooting him and the smiling girl before him banished any idea of saying "no" straight out of his head.
"I you want to... anyway." He rubbed the back of his neck awkwardly.

Hi's smile couldn't possible get any bigger, "Of course!" She got off the bar stool, heels clacking onto the floor. She offered her hand for him to take, a big grin on her face, "Let's go!" Her face was still pink, but a pretty shade. She shot Jamie a look of 'THANK YOU' or, at least that's what she tried to say. She wasn't very good at that type of thing. But Jamie looked like he'd probably understand.... hopefully.

Fred answered with something along the lines of "okay," though between his quiet tone and the accent it was hard to tell. He stepped out from behind the bar, for once finding himself about to join the various party goers he so often served. The Brit figured he would just let Hi take the lead, seeing as she probably knew what she was doing better than he did.

Hi smiled, taking his hand, she lead the way to the dance floor. The song had a good beat, and some of the dancers made room for them. Hi turned toward Fred, she put her hand on his shoulder and put his hand on her waist. Then their hands were clasped together, a ball room dancing pose. She smiled, "I think your more comfortable with this." She had to shout over the music, "Don't worry, I can't dance either!" She grinned and began to sway to the music.

"With all due respect, I'm probably much worse," the Tora laughed. Hi had pretty much read his mind. Most of the "usual" dancing at the Allure really wasn't the Brits still at all; he wasn't good at it and he really didn't like it all that much either... However, this, this he could do. He kept one hand around the Kuma girl's waist and wove the fingers of the other with hers, rocking with the beat. Perhaps it seemed odd for two people to be doing such things in a techo-filled nightclub, but Fred didn't think about that at all.

Hi laughed, "If I didn't know better, I would say you were pretty good!" She gave Fred's fingers a tight squeeze. The other people around them gave them funny looks at first, but shrugged and kept dancing.
It was nice, Hi was having fun. The music turned to a slow song, and Hi looked at Fred, then put her head on his shoulder. Now that felt nice, Hi felt very safe and comfortable in Fred's arms. Her head fit into his neck, she didn't say anything, afraid that if she did, the moment would end.

There was an immediate rush of heat to Fred's face. Like all other things, however, he was good at hiding it. Perhaps as a sort of "gentleman" the Brit was supposed to be collected and suave, but that stereotype certainly did not apply in this situation. He'd been caught off-guard and unaware, something he was certainly not used to. Of course, the reaction itself was truly curious. Fred shouldn't have been embarrassed at all, considering that Hi was a friend and they'd known each other so long; such things shouldn't be awkward.
Unless...
The Tora brushed the thought away, emptying his mind and continuing to move with the music.
