"I wouldn't care if I killed my liver, I don't even want to be here."
"You have a lot more to live for than you think, kid," Riad said gently, cleaning the glass.
"What's on my mind? I suppose it's the fact that I'm alone, I haven't been laid in months, my last relationship ended with a bang three months ago, and my aunt was murdered not a week after. Not that I can prove that, of course. But. I'm bored now, and that's enough talking. I think it's time I walk home. How much do I owe youuu."
His hands halted in their work, looking over him quietly. In the dim light, his eyes appeared a deep periwinkle. Taking the glass, he filled it up halfway with water and sat it on the bar in front of Carter. "Sit tight a minute." He waved his hand for him to sit again.
"I have something to ask you. This glass here, tell me, what does it look like to you?"

"Your presence will be left unknown."
"I appreciate it." replies with a small wave over her shoulder, keeping her eyes trained forward as she made her way to the room. Stepping inside she waited until the door was locked to slide against it partially, hunched over. Her breath came out in pants as she made her way over to the bed and sat down. Staring at the wall she replayed the fight in her mind. Originally most of her clients hate her, but it was rare that she was ever attacked. There was a meeting that she set up at the usually place. Normally she isn't an impatient person, but two days was ridiculous for anyone. When she finally did meet the other party, the moment she delivered the package she was ambushed from all sides.

"You have a lot more to live for than you think, kid,"
"Like what? I have no family, no friends." Carter mutters, snorting at the mans words as he sways
"Sit tight a minute. I have something to ask you. This glass here, tell me, what does it look like to you?"
Sighing softly, he sinks back onto the chair, frowning at the sight of the mans eyes before he grits his teeth with a soft hissing noise, looking away then back to him, slow grin, everyone else pretty much cleared out by now "Let's make a deal. I'll answer your pointless question if you do me a favor in return."

"Like what? I have no family, no friends. Let's make a deal. I'll answer your pointless question if you do me a favor in return."
Riad seemed to consider as he gestured to the young woman who had been waiting the tables, passing her a bottle of scotch. "Take this up to room 10 to the young woman named Sarah, would you Liza? After that, you can go on home." He offered a smile, and the girl nodded in return, doing as he asked.
He turned his attention back to Carter, leaning against the bar again. He shrugged. "I may consider it. Shoot."
Liza walked up the stairs and to the room, knocking gently. "Excuse me, miss? Mr. Hext has sent up a bottle of scotch for you?"

"Take this up to room 10 to the young woman named Sarah, would you Liza? After that, you can go on home."
Eyes flicking to the girl as Riad talks, he smiles languidly at her before returning his attention to the bartender, licking his lips lightly
I may consider it. Shoot."
"Well then." he murmurs, looking around the place before leaning forward, expression suddenly serious, eyes wide "Dance with me. Come home with me. Fill the hole." he states simply before his face twists into a broken smile as he leans back and laughs "Just a joke." he murmurs, sighing "Give me a bottle on the house, and I'll answer your question."

"Excuse me, miss? Mr. Hext has sent up a bottle of scotch for you?"
Cerria touched her side wincing. One had managed to jump her from behind with some kind of powder. She had struggled, kicking her foot back on his, doing her best not to inhale the cursed substance. Out of nowhere a knife sliced through the air and landed directly into her back, right between her ribs. A third assailant had appeared in front of her and used a knife to lash out at her arms and legs. Using the last bit of consciousness she created a illusion to slip away and here she was. A knock brought her out of her thoughts and she looked to the door. Sighing she tilted her head down. "Come in."

"Well then. Dance with me. Come home with me. Fill the hole."Riad blinked once in surprise, and he fought to keep the heat that rose near his ears from his face, his demon tail that is hidden within his jeans wrapping around his own ankle tightly in the effort. His mouth works a moment a he tries to find the words, but for once, he's speechless. Does the guy know that he had been watching him since he had begun to come here? "Just a joke. Give me a bottle on the house, and I'll answer your question."His jaw worked in thought and he swallowed hard before taking a breath, covering his surprise with a smooth smile and thoughtful gaze. "You got it. Pick your poison." ---- "Come in."Liza stepped in, setting the bottle on the table. "Enjoy your stay, miss." She smiled gently before slipping out, excited to get home.

Studying him, Carter frowns slightly when the man's face seems to turn red before he shakes his head, thought he was just imagining it in his drunken state. However, when Riad seems to tense he pauses, then slowly runs his tongue across his lips a moment, mouth dry, clears throat at the smile he recieves
"You got it. Pick your poison."
"How about a Rum then? Nothing too dry." he murmurs, blue eyes hazy as he watches him, small slow smile

Enjoy your stay, miss."
"Thank you so much for your help." Cerria replied to the shut door sarcastically. Seriously why couldn't she just hand the bottle to her personally instead of sitting it on the table. How was it possible that something could be so close yet so far away. Grumbling to herself she reached out towards the bottle, having to lean forward a little in her attempt.

"How about a Rum then? Nothing too dry."
"Rum it is," he replied and stepped to the back shelf, pulling out a bottle of rum. Riad straightened, though he looked towards the door a moment as he gained a slight chill, eyes focusing there a moment. After a few heartbeats, he turned back to the bar and slid the bottle to Carter.

"You know, you should bring someone along with you so you don't end up so... beat up," Frost murmured quietly, sitting perched on the windowsill as he studied Cerria with a studying gaze. "Why are you trying to hide from me?"

"Rum it is,"
"Thanks." Carter murmurs softly, watching him as he gets the bottle, reaches out to take it before stiffening when their fingers brush, face pales as he stands abruptly, nerves shot "I, uhm.. I have to go. Thanks for the bottle, really, but I don't think I need it now." he states distractedly while turning to stumble towards the door in a hurry, stomach starting to churn

"You know, you should bring someone along with you so you don't end up so... beat up,"
Cerria started, knocking the bottle over as her hand brushed it in the commotion. "Damn it! Stop doing that. And I thought this day couldn't get any worse. As for getting beat up, taking someone would require me to have some friends" she groaned, ceasing to try to get the bottle instead hunching over. She would get the bottle later, there were more important things to do at the moment.
"Why are you trying to hide from me?"
Cerria lifted her gaze to his and she gave a huff. "Why are you so intent on finding me. Well at least I can take this damn cloak off. " shuffling out of her outer garment she threw it onto the chair. "What do you want Abel?" asks quietly.

"Thanks. I, uhm.. I have to go. Thanks for the bottle, really, but I don't think I need it now."
Riad started and watched as Carter started to go, sliding over the bar to the other side. "Wait, what's--" he didn't finish as Carter escaped outside, leaving him to stand in the middle of the now empty bar. He closed his mouth, jaw working a moment and brow creasing slightly.

"Damn it! Stop doing that. And I thought this day couldn't get any worse. As for getting beat up, taking someone would require me to have some friends"
"Doing what?" Frost frowned and turned, his legs dangling inside the room. "Caring? Jeez, if I knew you could see, I would've thought you'd be blind. Am I not a friend?" he gestured to himself.
"Why are you so intent on finding me. Well at least I can take this damn cloak off. What do you want Abel?"
"Well, for one, I want you to stop trying to ditch me all the time. Maybe then you wouldn't complain about being alone." He started counting off on his fingers. "Two, I saw that bunch of bullshit with those guys and wanted to make sure that you aren't dead or dying, and three, can a dude not worry about people?"

"Wait, what's--"
Pushing his way outside, he stumbles down the street hurriedly, making it to the end before his hand flies to his mouth, keels over and empties his stomach. Falling to a knee, he coughs then tries to push himself back to his feet, sight blurring as he takes a step then passes out on the corner

"Doing what?"
"Sneaking up on me!" Cerria watched him intently as he moved, shoulders hunched.
"Caring? Jeez, if I knew you could see, I would've thought you'd be blind. Am I not a friend?"
"Caring? Friend? What's with you tonight? I wasn't sure you knew the meaning of those words?" 'Do I?' thinks quietly to herself, eyes distancing.
"Well, for one, I want you to stop trying to ditch me all the time. Maybe then you wouldn't complain about being alone. Two, I saw that bunch of bullshit with those guys and wanted to make sure that you aren't dead or dying, and three, can a dude not worry about people?"
She tensed at his words, adverting her gaze. "I don't recall ever complaining about being alone" says quietly, almost as a harsh whisper. And as for the guys it was bound to happen with someone sooner or later. Things aren't the same as they were back then. " she threw her hand up and met his gaze with a tired yet angry one. "So what if I was dead or dying? And if you worry so much go downstairs and get me something to drink."
