Natasha moves to the bar, leaning over and immediately catching the bartender’s eye. As he heads over to her, he’s intercepted by the mark himself; it appears that she’s achieved at least part of her objective. 

The bartender slips a drink in her direction, nodding in the direction of the target. Natasha smiles - oh, so easy - and raises the glass in toast to him before taking a sip. She tosses her hair over one shoulder, making a show of surveying the room.

The touch is expected, and Natasha has far too much experience at suppressing distate at the hands of a strange man on her skin to recoil. She simply smiles enigmatically at the man, turning towards him and engaging him in light, teasing conversation.

Whilst Natasha headed for the bar, James joined a group of people, making sure he was standing in a position where he could see her at the bar, before he joined in the conversation.

He stole glanced up at her every now and then, and almost smirked when the mark joined her, but managed to pretend he hadn’t noticed. If he was seen noticing, he’d have to go over and intercept, to keep up appearances, and that would cut the time she had shorter. 

Keeping up the polite chit chat that he absolutely hated, he glanced over at her as he chuckled, nodding a man’s question before beginning to speak to him as he slipped his hands into his pockets. 

Having obtained the man’s name, a few secrets whispered to impress a beautiful woman, and a room key tucked safely in her bag, Natasha makes her way back to James. She smiles, soft and subservient, at the company, before placing her arm around his waist as though seeking comfort.

“I’m in,” she murmurs, just loud enough for him to hear. “Meet me upstairs in an hour. I should have what I need from him then.”
