WHO: Jade & Aidan WHEN: Saturday early afternoon WHERE: Aidan's place WARNINGS: language, possible sex, general tomfoolery.
When Jade arrived at Aidan's home it was with a paper bag of Indian candy and a preparedness to sit down and explain everything she knew about the gods if he needed that. He seemed to be coping pretty well, but Jade wouldn't know for sure until they actually talked about it. It was nice to have him in the know though. She wouldn't have to pretend about anything anymore.
She knocked on the door and when it opened, Jade beamed at him. "Hey there, sexy."

"Ooh, candy!" he exclaimed, noticing her bag. "Come on in, I have tequila and some leftover vodka. So how was India?" (Reply to this)(Thread)

"I can't even describe it, and I forgot the photos so I'll have to force you to look at them another day." (She'd already showed the photos to Prometheus yesterday and that had gone quite well after all.)
She handed over the bag. "Everything in there is amazing, just so you know." (Reply to this)(Parent) (Thread)

"But yes, I will look at them and make the appropriate 'Ooh!' noises and maybe throw in a few 'So not fair's for good measure."
He went into the kitchen, bringing back the tequila and 2 glasses. "I bet it is," he said, opening the bag and peering inside. "You might have to point out what's what, though." (Reply to this)(Parent) (Thread)
heliolatrous 2011-09-02 11:30 pm (local) (link) "Like I already told Prometheus: some of them are topless." Jade laughed as she sat down at the kitchen table, ready to do some shots and eaten Indian treats. "I'll tell you after you eat them what they are. It's more fun to be surprised."

becomesthisart 2011-09-02 11:40 pm (local) (link) He wiggled his eyebrows in an exaggerated fashion. "Really," he said, pouring them both a shot. He then reached into the bag, pulled out a candy and popped it in his mouth. His head tilted to one side as he tried to figure our what was in it. (Reply to this)(Parent) (Thread)
heliolatrous 2011-09-02 11:48 pm (local) (link) "Really," Jade smirked, reaching out to take the shot and downing it as she watched him. "Oh, those are good, kinda spicy-sweet. They're sugar cane, date and cumin."
She reached over to pour herself another shot. "Okay," she said as she lifted the glass. "So gods and monsters," Jade said, looking over at him seriously. "You cool?" (Reply to this)(Parent) (Thread)
becomesthisart 2011-09-02 11:58 pm (local) (link) "Because you can never have enough topless vacation photos, am I right?" he said, tossing back his shot with a grin. He grabbed another of the same candies out of the bag. "I like these. Sweet and kind of zippy."
He refilled his glass too. "As a cucumber," he replied. "OK, maybe not quite that cool, I have the occasional freakout every now and again, imagining who or what might be lurking out there. But until I meet them, I pretend they don't exist. Also, speaking of monsters, I got hired to make a statue of the Minotaur for my friend's boyfriend. Greek mythology everywhere."

heliolatrous 2011-09-03 12:01 am (local) (link) "You sort of start noticing it all a lot more once you know about it," Jade said, grabbing one of the same candies for herself. "Careful of the Greeks though. They're really... rapey. But that probably comes with the territory." She downed her second short as well, managing not to swallow her candy at the same time.

becomesthisart 2011-09-03 12:17 am (local) (link) "I'll keep that in mind," Aidan promised, finishing his own candy. "Also, is rapey even a word? And I'm pretty sure the guy isn't actually the Minotaur, though lord knows he's big enough to be." He pulled a face, realizing that could be taken one of a couple ways.

heliolatrous 2011-09-03 12:24 am (local) (link) "I said rapey and so it's a word now," Jade told him with a smile, refilling her glass for the third time. "And he could be the Minotaur for all you know. The world is crazy shit and it seems like every little thing is around, especially in New York." Then she asked, questioningly, "and what was that face about?" (Reply to this)(Parent) (Thread)
becomesthisart 2011-09-03 12:39 am (local) (link) "My vocabulary is expanding every day," Aidan said, pouring himself another shot. "And yes, the world is crazy shit, I met the Titan of fame, and I'm pretty sure she doesn't like me. Not that I give two fucks, but still." He threw back his shot. "No one likes being called unambitious."
He winced. This was why he didn't gamble, he had a terrible poker face. "I...may or may not have had a threesome with said dude who probably isn't the Minotaur and his boyfriend, my best friend from college." He considered that for a second. "Actually, it was more like I got invited by the boyfriend. But still." (Reply to this)(Parent) (Thread)
heliolatrous 2011-09-03 12:44 am (local) (link) "I met Klymene yesterday," Jade said proudly, beaming at her friend. "I managed to convince her that I was the best thing since sliced bread. And, as you know, sliced bread is pretty damn cool."
She laughed at his mention of the threesome and pointed an accusing finger even as she smiled brightly. "Slut! Such a slut! Oh fuck, you're as bad as me and I thought you were so sweet and innocent. That's two threesomes in... a short amount of time." (Reply to this)(Parent) (Thread)
becomesthisart 2011-09-03 12:54 am (local) (link) "Well yay for you," Aidan said sarcastically. "I like what I do and she isn't going to make me feel bad for the fact that I'll probably never be famous. You and Prometheus still like me, and that's what counts, right?"
He grinned, chucking a candy at her head. "Hey, you know what happens when you assume, Jade! I like sex, and you wouldn't have said no to these two either. Plus, threesomes are always the answer." (Reply to this)(Parent) (Thread)
heliolatrous 2011-09-03 01:15 am (local) (link) "Well, I did pretend that I was aiming for superstardom with my art," Jade smiled and then leaned across the table at him. "And I'll always still like you, cutie." She kissed him, more an action of slightly drunken friendship than any sort of come on. "Threesomes did get you into Theon's pants. Argh, Prometheus. I need to remember that you know now. I fail." (Reply to this)(Parent) (Thread)
becomesthisart 2011-09-03 01:36 am (local) (link) "Ah, so that's the secret," he said. "Full of wisdom, you are."
"Good, I'm glad," he replied, kissing her back and pouring them another round. "See? Threesomes are always the answer. And, you know, double the fun," he said with a cheeky grin.
He waved a hand and passed her her drink. "It's cool. I'm still trying to wrap my own head around it." (Reply to this)(Parent) (Thread)
heliolatrous 2011-09-03 01:43 am (local) (link) "So," Jade asked with an eyebrow wiggle. "How were your friend and the not!Minotaur?" She smirked. "Built like an ox?" (Reply to this)(Parent) (Thread)
becomesthisart 2011-09-03 01:59 am (local) (link) "If I say really, really good, does it sound like I'm gloating?" he asked, making no effort to hide his grin. "The not!Minotaur is like...pure muscle. So yeah, built like an ox is pretty apt." (Reply to this)(Parent) (Thread)
heliolatrous 2011-09-03 02:22 am (local) (link) "Unf," Jade grunted with a grin, and then laughed. "Always gloat about a good fuck. Screw that not kissing and telling bullshit!" (Reply to this)(Parent) (Thread)
becomesthisart 2011-09-03 02:32 am (local) (link) "And a good fuck it was, so...gloat gloat gloat," he laughed. "And you are the best person to kiss and tell to, of course."
