Raven had decided to wear the gown that was made for her for the debutante ball. She figured she might as well dress up for this little date of hers. She walked into Irving hall and peered over the crowd, standing on tip toe. She caught a glimpse of the bartender and smiled. At least he was handsome. She made her way over to the bar.

((still not sure how ya wanna do this, but I'm gonna wing it. Leo's a sweetie, maybe if I use him more I'll think of actually devilish drama for him to get into))
Leo was just finishing up, wiping down some of the glasses before his shift ended. While he usually kept to himself, he agreed to go on a date with Raven for a few reasons. For one, he owed Zip a favor- she had been the one that got him the apprenticeship with a Jewish veterinarian, apparently they went to the same synagogue and he was looking for someone to help him out. And two, she had told him Raven's story, and he felt bad for her. He wanted to show her a nice time. He wasn't expecting much, and Zippy warned him not to try anything, because of this Spot Conlon that she was involved with.
Nevertheless, it had been awhile since he had taken anyone out and he was looking forward to it.

Raven waited patiently for him to finish closing out and when he was done she stepped over to him. "Hey," she said with a bright smile.

"Hey," Leo smiled, tossing his towel back on the rack. "You look beautiful, are you excited to have the night off tonight from your son?"

"Kind of," Raven said with a laugh. "It's a strange feeling. It feels good, but then all I do is worry about him even though he's with his dad."

"ah, well," Leo smiled at her, coming out from behind the bar and throwing on a suit jacket, "I promise I won't keep you here late. Come on." he gestured for her to follow him as he lead her into a door that said 'backstage'

Raven followed after him wondering what this guy was up to. She'd more wary of men her entire life, but moreso now after what Spot had done to her. She didn't even know why she'd agreed to the date...yes she did, she wanted to make Spot jealous.
She smiled as he led her backstage. "I always wanted to see back here."

"Yeah?" Leo responded, smiling over at her. It wasn't his initial plan, but he figured a quick tour would be a nice transition, especially if it made her happy to see it. "Well this is the stage," he gestured, leading her onto it.

Raven walked out onto the stage and took in the entirety of Irving Hall. It actually seemed too quiet at the moment, desolate. She turned to look at Leo. "I hate it when it's all quiet like this. Don't seem natural."

Leo chuckled. "Maybe for you. For me its peaceful as hell," he gestured for her to follow him and he took some keys out of his pocket and opened up Medda's dressing room. "This is Medda's, but she's on vacation for a few weeks."

Raven stepped inside and smiled. "This is definitely Medda's." The whole place seemed to be drowned in pink and purple. It was loud and outrageous, just like Medda. "So how long you working here?"

"A few months. Half a year, actually. But they vastly underpay me and I don't get a lot of hours," Leo told her, closing Medda's dressing room and locking it. "And here's another dressing room, for a few of the girls." He opened the one next to it.

"You don't get many tips? You have to make more than a newsie," She said, turning to face him.

Leo smiled, chuckling. "The tips are all right. It's mostly women who tip me."
