	[ He does turn, confident that there's no junk hanging out at the moment.] A shifter. [ It's a guess in a way. Sam had acted pretty suspicious back then, but Spike never thought to press. In retrospect, perhaps he should've.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[A nod.] And before you get any ideas, vamp'rs typically don't like t' snack on us. [Then again, Spike at rats, he can't imagine tasting worse than that. He was such a special case in comparison to the other vampires he was familiar with.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	chipswiththat 2012-11-19 01:06 am UTC (link)
	How many times do I have to tell you that I'm not goin' to bite you? Bloody hell, it's like you don't trust me or somethin'. [ Half-mocking. It was true though, he didn't plan to make a snack out of Sam unless he had a reason to.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	turnsonadime 2012-11-19 01:12 am UTC (link)
	[Mocking or not that gets a flat look. Yeah, you know he won't fully trust you Spike.] Hey, I'm just nippin' it in th' bud. An' y'cain't blame me now that y'know y'kin hurt me. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	chipswiththat 2012-11-19 02:25 am UTC (link)
	[ And it better stay that way, Sammy-boy. If the word comes out that he's trustworthy in any capacity, his bad boy rep will be in ruins!] Yeah, well... you didn't know that until now, did you? An' I do seem to recall me sayin' just that a few times before today. When you thought I could hurt you. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	turnsonadime 2012-11-19 02:30 am UTC (link)
	An' you really expect me t'take your word for it? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	chipswiththat 2012-11-19 02:40 am UTC (link)
	You didn't then, why would you now? [ Getting repetative here.] You ready for that drink yet or should I just go ahead on my own? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	turnsonadime 2012-11-19 02:45 am UTC (link)
	[Just getting a heavy sigh on that one. Spike you are impossible and contradictory here. Trying to convince him you won't eat him then saying he can't trust you? Oi. He pinches and rubs the bridge of his nose.] Yeah. Fine. [Just going to let it go and head home to his bar.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	chipswiththat 2012-11-19 01:29 pm UTC (link)
	[ Hey, he's not obligated to make sense. Just like he's not obligated to explain why he's so keen on drinking with this redneck now that he's solid again. For now he's quite content to walk in silence, quietly contemplating getting a pack of cigarettes on the way but eventually deciding against it.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	turnsonadime 2012-11-19 01:44 pm UTC (link)
	[The odd silence is a little uncomfortable considering how much they were chatting before, even if it was mostly snark. Luckily they arrive soon enough and Sam saunters up behind the bar to start pouring whiskey on the rocks. He stops with a second glass, looking to the blond with a question in his gaze.] Want some? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	chipswiththat 2012-11-19 02:02 pm UTC (link)
	[ Sorry Sam, Spike isn't used to people asking him for his preferences. You get an eyeroll for your troubles.] Why else would I be here? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	turnsonadime 2012-11-19 02:26 pm UTC (link)
	[Another flat look. This is apparently their way of communicating always.] Well,excuse me for givin' you a choice. I'll remember that next time. [Though he had a hunch whiskey would be a good choice either way. He pours it out and slides the glass forward before setting the bottle back on the shelf.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	chipswiththat 2012-11-19 02:40 pm UTC (link)
	[ It's the best way to communicate. He takes the glass and tips it back for a decent sip. Actually taking it a bit easy, more to make it last than to keep himself sober. ] Going to need a bit more than that, mate. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	turnsonadime 2012-11-19 09:50 pm UTC (link)
	Oh, there'll be more. But there's still that issue of trust. [He's not leaving the whole bottle within your reach so you can drink it all Spike.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	chipswiththat 2012-11-20 02:11 am UTC (link)
	Fair enough. [ Pause for emphasis.] Of course, there's also th' issue of me drinkin' you under th' table. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	turnsonadime 2012-11-20 10:52 am UTC (link)
	This isn't a competition. [Look at that, being the mature adult. (And a good bartender) It evens out in the end if he has a few too many and acts like a pushy asshole. A pause to sip and think.] So do you even get the same effect? [Ya know, with drinking alcohol. How much DOES it take?] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	chipswiththat 2012-11-21 01:16 am UTC (link)
	Enough of one. [ He swirls the amber liquid around in the glass, watching the ice cubes clink together. Much fancier than what he usually goes for.] Takes work though, if you want to get properly sloshed. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	turnsonadime 2012-11-21 01:58 am UTC (link)
	Yeah? How much? [That right there is some heavy curiosity and he's practically handing Spike his ticket to drinking lots more.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	chipswiththat 2012-11-21 02:09 am UTC (link)
	More than you can afford, mate. [ A quirked brow at that. He takes a brief moment to study Sam before following up that question with a challenge.] Depends on how drunk you want me. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[Of course, the smartest part of Sam is telling him a drunk vampire he can barely trust is not a good thing to have in his shiny new bar. Especially since the bots are still checking in once and a while to be sure he's keeping it up to standards. Though he is wondering just what the other was like while drunk. After all, a good bartender knows when to cut his custys off so they don't become a nuisance and if its as hard as the other says it is...

Plus, he honestly wanted a drinking partner and didn't want to be the only one drunk.]

I dunno, if it ain't worth it then there's no point lettin' ya drink th'whole bar.

	chipswiththat 2012-11-21 02:17 pm UTC (link)
	No need to exaggerate. [ Mouth twisted into a lopsided smile, Spike cocks his head to the side.] Why don't you try me? Could always cut me off when you've had enough, mister bartender. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	turnsonadime 2012-11-21 09:20 pm UTC (link)
	[A pause to consider, swirling his own glass and taking a sip with a thoughtful expression.] Considerin' the day we're havin', how drunk d'ya want t' be? [He's being generous here Spike, he wants to ease your pain and all that.] Measure it in bottles and maybe you'll get it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[ He takes a moment to ponder that — and also takes the opportunity to drain his glass while he thinks. He had quite a bit to drink the night before and he's not really hurtin' for a complete black-out... few things can put him in that level of despair after all.

In the end he just smirks and raises two fingers. It's more a test on how far he can push Sam than any carefully chosen amount to make him blotto. Think you can fulfill that request, barkeep? ]

[Sam's brows furrow at that gesture, looking to the two fingers then to Spike questioningly.]

Did you just flip me off?

[Least he vaguely remembers the other tossing two fingers his way last time when he was pretty sure the other meant it as a hearty fuck you. Not that he remembers which way his hand was facing or knew if it mattered or not.

He reaches over and sets the first bottle of whiskey down. He's contemplating a bottle of something else to even it out. He can spare two... Spike's gotto earn it though.]

	Wrong way around, you ninny. [ He's amused though, chuckling softly at this American.] Don't worry, not even Churchill got it right all th' time. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
