OOC:  John's trying to impress, so if she said
bourbon, he'll ask for the best the bar has to offer.

John nodded, the smile on his face masking a little
concern.  On average, when he met a vamp it was just
before he dusted them.  On occasion, when one
demonstrated usefulness, he might allow it to live. 
Such was the case of Titus Bane.  Killing the new Kahn
would have created chaos in Chinatown, something that
Exquisite Woo had warned against.  Besides, he'd held
up his end of their bargain.

"Alright, we'll go and check them out."
