Elliot gave Carter a look - like she didn't need his words of caution. The smugness drained from her expression as he continued to speak, though. He seemed to be genuinely concerned and he sounded as if he knew what he was talking about. 14th and Byron Road, she repeated to herself internally. She tried to summon a memory of what the intersection looked like - she could vaguely make out the shape of the buildings in the area, but she couldn't remember the specific details. "Fanatics are best avoided...I'll give you that," she responded in a dry tone - she didn't want to sound alarmed or reckless. Rather than tell him that he shouldn't worry because she could take care of herself, she simply ended with, "Thanks for the heads up."
The woman welcomed Carter's hands on her - she watched with a little grin as he placed his business card in the band of her skirt. He slid the object around her sides and to her back. She would have to examine the bit of paper later so she could soak in all the details - it occurred to Elliot that she still knew very little about the man. Perhaps she would learn more of him this evening.
He promised to use his magical talk box to find her. The woman laughed and gave him a wide smile in response. He was so cute...and funny...and perfect... Elliot had to willfully stop her train of thought, lest she make the man even more late for his meeting.
Just as the door opened to reveal the first floor, Carter said what Elliot assumed to be parting words. She guessed that he would not be getting off of the elevator with her - the second floor was a far more customary place for business associates. Even if you weren't cool enough for the VIP section, the second floor wasn't quite the same cluster-fuck swarm of the first floor and its countless bars and dancing areas. She gave him a full-body glance accompanied by an approving smile before producing her own business card. She held it out for him and spoke, "They don't come much stranger than either of us."
She would wait for him to accept her card before turning to leave the elevator. But - abruptly - she halted. She turned back around and gave Carter short but passionate open-mouthed kiss. She grinned sheepishly and backed out of the elevator, her eyes remaining on his form until the closing doors cut them apart from each other.
The woman watched for a few moments as the elevator climbed back to the second floor. She waited until Carter was outside of her visual range before turning to leave.
Her business card was heavy - and it wasn't paper. It was pressed metal with black letters that stood slightly raised from the mirror-polished finish of the background (which was an intermixing of silver and crimson color). The text contained was simple: it said her name (Elliot Pierce), claimed that she was an Artist, and provided an e-mail address and phone number.
