//At the Raven//

[teetheyes]

[Not bad for one of the newer establishments in the City, though it beats Lux in terms of seniority. At least here there's no terse half faced woman to bear witness to his gesture.]

Tough crowd.

[He smirks.]

[ooc: Spammage for Le Bleu.]

It wouldn't be so bad, I think, if people would just listen to the bass line.

[smiles over]

[ex-janvalent852.livejournal.com]

[bitingnightmare.livejournal.com]

With all the noise is this place the only person who's likely to catch it would go off like a bomb.

[Returning the smile.]

No appreciation.

[bitingnightmare.livejournal.com]

[ooc: Jan = witness statement.]

[playstheblues.livejournal.com]

I can hear it. Bass sax. They're not bad.

[bitingnightmare.livejournal.com]

No, they're not.

[Taking a sip of his drink.]

Find a job yet?

[playstheblues.livejournal.com]

[frowns a little]

No, not yet. Maybe I should post something on the Network about it.

[bitingnightmare.livejournal.com]

What can you do? Besides carry a tune.

[playstheblues.livejournal.com]

I was an administrator's assistant for a long time, and I can shuck hay.

[pauses, then adds]

But I'd rather not shuck hay.

[bitingnightmare.livejournal.com]

You're in luck, there aren't too many barns around here but the city's kind of lacking in the administrative skills department.

[playstheblues.livejournal.com]

Do you know someone who's hiring?

[bitingnightmare.livejournal.com]

Styles and Brocklehurst are always hiring. Lucien should hire. I don't recommend the Morningstar, you're too golden for him.

[He smirks, glasses tipped down a bit.]

I guess it depends on how often you want to work, or play.

[playstheblues.livejournal.com]

[looks into the Corinthian's eyes]

I just want to help out with rent.

[bitingnightmare.livejournal.com]

It'd be a crying shame to keep you clocked in just to help out with the rent. It's bad enough you have Rose's state.

[Near nose to nose it seems.]

[playstheblues.livejournal.com]

And to pay for my food and stuff.

I don't want to shortchange anyone.

[turns his head a little]

[bitingnightmare.livejournal.com]

Including yourself.

[A quick glance and he leans in to kiss Blue's neck.]

[playstheblues.livejournal.com]

[playstheblues.livejournal.com]

I've never really done that.

[bitingnightmare.livejournal.com]

[Speaking for their ears only.]

Over a good millennia, were you always looking out for number one?

[Trailing up to his ear.]

1/2

[playstheblues.livejournal.com]

Over a millennia, I was was always looking out for everyone else.

The only time I looked out for myself it went pretty badly.

[turns to look at Cori]

Should I start now?

[playstheblues.livejournal.com]

[takes Cori's face in his hands and presses a very soft kiss to his lips]

More like you have?

[bitingnightmare.livejournal.com]

[Almost too soft. He purses his lips and pushes forward for more.]

It's the best way to be.

[playstheblues.livejournal.com]

[frowns - he's not used to this]

It hurt.

[kisses him again, only this time harder, with more tongue. He breaks and looks at his drink, then at the band]

I might think about it.

[bitingnightmare.livejournal.com]

A little burn comes with everything.

[Just like the taste of tequila on his lips. He raises his chin when Blue breaks away. looking almost displeased, but its brief.]

Am I too old?

[playstheblues.livejournal.com]

Not at all.

[drinks some of his soda]

And you don't scare me, either.
