The world had changed a great deal in the last thousand years or so, escalated to the point where it was possible that a little thing could tip the scales and the world may yet reach an end. Alec had seen the rise and fall of empires, the lives and deaths of the brilliant and the truly evil, and most of all he'd watched the evolution of man. Although one could argue that for all the evolution nothing much had changed.
He chuckled at Puck's remarks and shifted to better face him, shaking his head. "You know me better than that, Puck." He reached out to straighten and smooth the collar on the shirt adorning his friend's upper body. "I've never expected that of you and whilst I'm sure it would be amazing because you and I are old enough to know every single trick of the trade it probably wouldn't be the best of ideas." He smirked and offered a teasing smile. "I might ruin you for mere mortals or whoever it is that's been keeping your bed warm." Obviously joking, but the truth was that Alec for all his age had more than learned a few tricks in his time, he'd also known the people who invented the Kamasutra first hand.
Alec touched the Puck's jaw and then tilted his head. "And just for the record? I don't consider this whiling away the time. You forget that I happen to enjoy your company for much more than what you can offer in the bedroom." And with that the Phoenix rose to his feet and began to pour himself and the Puck another drink, moving with all the regal grace and elegance you'd expect from somebody who was quite essentially a bird in human form.
"But don't tempt me, Puck. I've been celibate for quite a while now."
